Twenty-one years ago this month, on September 6, 1992, the decomposed body of Christopher McCandless was discovered by moose hunters just outside the northern boundary of Denali National Park. He had died inside a rusting bus.
McCandless graduated from Emory University in May 1990, with a bachelor’s degree in the double majors of history. After graduating, he donated his college savings of $24,000 to OXFAM and adopted a vagabond lifestyle, working when necessary as a restaurant food preparer and farm hand. An avid outdoorsman, McCandless completed several lengthy wilderness hiking trips and paddled a canoe down a portion of the Colorado River before hitchhiking to Alaska in April 1992. Chris' younger sister, Carine, wrote the memoir The Wild Truth, in November 2014. In the book, Carine describes verbal, physical and sexual abuse her parents allegedly inflicted upon each other and their children.
