After a long search, the corpse of Appalachian Trail hiker Geraldine Largay, is found in an area used for Navy survival skills training. Her body was in a sleeping bag.

Near her deathbed is a journal where she recorded the details of her suffering. She wrote that she accepted she was going to die and that it would probably take years before her body would be located.

According to her journal, 66-year-old Largay, from Brentwood, Tennessee, hiked up the Appalachian Trail by herself, got lost, went to find a signal, attempted to send text messages to her husband, and failed.

Largay requested on her journals that anyone who finds her corpse calls her husband George and daughter Kerry. She considers it a "great kindness" if the finder tells her relatives where her body was found, even if it were years from her death.

1,500 pages of the journal were released on Wednesday to the media as a response of the Main Warden Service to Freedom of Access Act.

Largay, or Inchworm as she calls herself, got lost on her hiking trail on July 22, 2013. When she realized she was lost, she sent text messages to her husband but because there was no network signal, they were never sent. Investigators found the unsent messages on her phone. Her battery-drained phone was found with her body.

On July 22, 2013, she texted "In somm [sic] trouble." She realized that she was three or four miles off the trail in the north of Woods Road, and urged her husband to call the police.

On July 24, 2013, when she missed a supposed meetup with her husband, he filed a missing person report. Over the two years, the Main Warden Service and other search agencies conducted a thorough search. Her body was found only in October 2015.

The last entry on Largay's Journal is dated Aug. 18, 2013. She died 66 days after she was lost.
