The body of Albert Chretien, who disappeared on a road trip to Las Vegas with his wife last spring, has finally been found, CBC News has confirmed. A pair of hunters came across Chretien's body on Saturday in a wooded area in Northern Elko County, Nevada officials said. His identity was confirmed by information in his wallet and business cards. Det. Dennis Journigan of the county Sheriff's Department says Chretien's remains were discovered in a secluded area of Merritt Mountain, about 11 kilometres west from where he set off. Chretien's wife, Rita, survived for 48 days in Nevada's wilderness, praying and subsisting on candy, trail mix and snow, before she heard rescuers in the distance last May and was able to alert them. The couple got stuck on a snowy logging road in northeastern Nevada last spring after getting lost on a road trip from their home in Penticton to Las Vegas. Albert Chretien had reportedly tried to look for help on foot, while his wife stayed in their Chevrolet Astro minivan. Officials told CBC News that Chretien had been heading in the right direction and wasn't too far from a road, but that his journey was likely hampered by deep snow. Journigan said the police department had been in touch with the family, and the reaction was "relief ... that we had actually found him." Chretien's remains have been brought to Elko, and once evidence and details are collected from the scene, the sheriff will decide when, and how, to send his body home, Journigan added. Journigan says the remains were intact and hadn't been scattered by animals.
