The Curse of the Iceman?
2004-10-18
A German hiker who in 1991 discovered the mummified remains of a prehistoric man has gone missing while walking in bad conditions in the Alps.Helmut Simon, 67, was last seen on Friday morning setting out for a walk in Salzburg, Austria. Rescue teams have scoured the area but found no trace. Heavy snowfall over the weekend has raised fears Mr Simon has not survived.
"If ya have any sense at all, you'll no good lookin' for tha man. He's lost, an' ya'll never see 'im ag'in. At least, not alive. Ya 'ave nae heard about the curse? I'll tell ya about the curse. T'was 'im: he was the one who found the last poor soul, the Ice-Man: the last man tae suffer the curse..."

#3  It never fails to amaze me how stupidity abounds in such endeavers. No cell phone...no transponder...no flares...no hike path left beforehand! How ironic should someone find him in a thousand years with no balls!!
