Claim 1: “The remains of the individual now known as 22-year-old Douglas Summer were found on Aug. 21, 1971, in the upper northern rim of Blue Mesa in Bluebell Canyon”
CORROBORATED
Two independent sources provide the specific details: the name (Douglas Sumner/Summer), age (22), date of discovery (August 21, 1971), and location (upper northern rim of Blue Mesa in Bluebell Canyon). Note: One source spells the name 'Sumner' and another 'Summer', but the factual details align perfectly.
