Sometimes the most alluring stories we tell are the ones with the details left out. Objects and faces can be prettier in the half light. We see a faint shape and we add the lines and shadows we want. We hear one part of a story and add another part that we hope might be true.
I first learned of the man called Mostly Harmless this past August. A WIRED reader sent a note to my tip line: The body of a hiker had been found in a tent in Florida in the summer of 2018, but scores of amateur detectives, and a few professional ones too, couldnât figure out who he was. Everyone knew that he had started walking south on the Appalachian Trail from New York a year and a half before. He met hundreds of people on the trail, and seemed to charm them all. He told people he was from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and that he worked in tech in New York. They all knew his trail name, but no one could figure out his real one.

Father Ronald J. Braud, a retired priest of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, died Jan. 10 at Chateau de Notre Dame. He was 81 and had served for 56 years as a diocesan priest, including 20 years as a chaplain and religion teacher at Archbishop Blenk High School in Marrero.
“He was someone who was calm, cool and collected,” said Msgr. Lanaux Rareshide, the homilist at a Jan. 18 Funeral Mass who was friends with Father Braud in the Jesus Caritas Priests’ Fraternity. “He was a very pleasant fellow. In his final years, he had some pain in his life with medical problems.”
