In a way, geocaching is becoming more of community service!  We have our CITO programs across the country; and now in the past few months geocachers have helped by unfortunately discovering the bodies of someones loved ones.  The incident at the "The Cliffs of Cache" in South Carolina where the body had been missing for twelve years; the recent deaths of a woman here, and the man near Las Vegas; these bodys may not have been discovered as recent if it weren't for geocachers.  Geocachers have become de facto search teams.

That's right Brian, I forgot about your recent incident (I think it was just prior to Christmas, wasn't it?).  There was yours, the incident Feb. 28th at the "The Cliffs of Cache" (GCHD76), and now this incident.  I hadn't heard anything like this on the threads before you posted your unfortunate encounter. 
 
Because geocaching takes us to so many out-of-the-way places - and as geocaching grows in the number of cachers, and the numbers of caches hidden - we are more apt to run into these types of strange and horrible experiences.

I wonder, was I the FTF or the first to say something publicly?  There was never anything about finding anything like this in the 'worst nightmare' thread in the gc.com forums until I posted my incident.  Not exactly a title I'd be proud of holding though.  :/

It looks like another cacher has come across a body.  Cacher "crzycrzy" found the body while searching for "The Big "J" Cache #3" (GCFAB0) near Las Vegas.  It appears that the cache has been confiscated by the LV Police Dept
