Remains ID'd of vagabond poet who vanished in '30s

Researchers said Thursday a skeleton found last year in Utah's redrock country is that of a 20-year-old artist, poet and wanderer who disappeared in the 1930s and has been the stuff of Western lore and Navajo legend ever since. The bones of Everett Ruess, a self-described vagabond from California, were discovered by a grandson of a Navajo elder who, according to a family story, had witnessed the young man's murder by other Indians and was haunted by it.
