For all that manpower and high-tech to have a chance of working in a body search, the body itself has to be there. It seems from the sources that the body was found in an area that hadn't been searched initially. This has happened many other times in different countries.

it was PINK, it was not Far from the city, within a Mile radius!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Juror1 (talk • contribs) 06:45, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

Actually, based on my understanding and experience (having stayed in the same hotel), it was more than a mile outside the city, even going by a direct line. And it's quite a bit more to drive there, much less walk all the way. And that taiga can conceal things more easily than it might appear.

I suspect from the description of the scene where the remains were found that she probably took her clothes off to hasten the death by exposure, which might also have made them harder to find if she hid them under a tree or something.(and note that the RCMP also said earlier in the search that they believed, based on evidence they found in her hotel room that they still haven't been specific about, her goal was to never be found).

Daniel, do you have a link to that scene description? I'd be interested in reading that, and it might be a good addition to the page. That trail is very long, and it makes a big difference whether her remains were found closer to town (which doesn't indicate much of a desire to disappear), or far away (which does). If she did take off her clothes that doesn't necessarily mean suicide. It might have been paradoxical undressing which does happen in hypothermia cases. Those last few minutes where she could move, she wouldn't have been rational and might have been doing absolutely anything.69.115.56.18 (talk) 18:17, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

Other than what's already in the article, no, there's no other scene description that I know of that's been published. That doesn't mean the RCMP's report isn't available if someone requests a copy and writes in a reliable source about it—but given that they seem rather cagey about the text of the note she left behind, I'm not betting they'd give it up easily.

My thoughts about the RCMP and the Japanese police attitude isn't that they're malicious, but that Atsumi wasn't the adorable person that the public wants to believe she was and it was decided to honor her memory by keeping things positive. I watched the documentary and the interviewees were either people who knew her strictly as a co-worker, people who hadn't communicated with her in years, or people in Yellowknife who had just happened to see her walking around. On top of that, she was a doctor who seemingly had trouble remaining employed, which can't be very easy to do unless you have a real problem of some kind. Not trying to dump on anyone, mind. This being a mystery, I'm just speculating based on the impression I have. Whatever Atsumi's demons might have been, hopefully she found the peace she was looking for.69.115.56.18 (talk) 22:42, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
