This is a close one. There is some coverage or at least mention of his disappearance and the finding of his body two years later but it's a little superficial and borderline WP:NOTNEWS. This obituary has a bit more depth although its content does not really match the focus of our article. So: is this just about good enough for WP:GNG or should we delete this?

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Definite keep.  Well reported at the time, but prior to WWW and news on line - so google and others are mostly blind to it.  Still referred to 10 and 20 and 30 years later as a reference event.  See right.  If I get the chance I might rewrite and fully reference myself tomorrow.  Aoziwe (talk) 13:43, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep, thanks to the additional work - I think the nomination was fair, based on the article at the time - sometimes AFD provides the incentive to improve an article - Arjayay (talk) 16:54, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
