Twenty years ago, a Canadian ice hockey player named Duncan MacPherson, 23, disappeared while snowboarding on the Stubai glacier in Austria. His still frozen body was found 14 years later by resort workers. Planetski.eu retells the story once more hoping to find some answers.
In that time his parents, Bob and Lynda, fought a long campaign to try to find him, to discover what happened and came across what they believe was bureaucratic bungling, police intransigence and even corruption. There are accusations of something even more sinister. . . .They claim the authorities had no desire to discover what had happened to their son and wanted the whole incident hushed up to protect the multi-billion euro Austrian tourist industry.

“The pilot, the only police presence at the scene, then leaves the body’s recovery in the hands of employees of the ski resort, and leaves. Employees of the Stubai glacier ski resort chisel the body, snowboard and one boot out of the ice. There is no police presence at the scene during the body’s recovery and the site is not secured.”
That says it all, I’m glad I’m not an employee there and the article and timeline that point out blatant disregards for a human life and trying to find out why…is insane. I feel bad for the family having to endure so much.
20 year old snowboard? Might be a collectable.
For all respect, bodies pop out of glaciers on regular base in these regions…
Collectible? Shityeah! It’s been attached to a dead guy for 20 years. It’s going to be big time. Like driving a hearse!
