Thanks for posting this link. I have been following the Sherpa/Fowler disappearance since it happened in 2016 since I had hiked that section of the PCT between White Pass and Chinook Pass a few weeks earlier. The most logical scenario is the one Freesolo posted, citing an interview SARS leader "The God Father" had with Alex Wit, the only PCT hiker going southbound on that section on the day of the storm. Here's the relevant passage:
"The God Father met with Alex Wit and got his gps track from 13 OCT 16. The weather starting at midnight 12 OCT 16 through 15 OCT 16 was epic at the remnants of Typhoon Sondga.

The God Father knew as soon as he had the information from Wit what had happened. Kris died on 13 OCT 16 in the above storm of hypothermia. The fact that Wit didn't see him on his way south confirms that Kris either was lost off the PCT or hypothermic by mid afternoon on the 13th and Kris never spoke with any person after the clerk at The Cracker Barrel in White Pass. On the morning of the 14th from his hotel in White Pass Alex Wit said there was snow half way down the ski area at White Pass. The weather station history tells us that 5 inches of rain fell in 48 hours and the temps were going above and below freezing on the PCT where Kris was.
Kris walked north into this storm with sandals for footwear, a nylon rain coat with a spray-on coating and a down bag. He was prolly 7% body fat. Wit is a big guy with I'd guess 28% body fat, Wit had a goretex coat and boots and was losing elevation throughout his day."

Does he even look for men, or just pretty young women? Maybe only the high profile cases have been young women and he does also look for men, I don't know.

We're getting into serious thread drift, folks, and I'm as guilty as anyone. We should leave this thread for updates and commentary more relevant to the OP's news post re the discovery at Stampede Pass.
Anyone wanting to further discuss Kris Fowler's disappearance can revive the threads on that which start here or better yet, here, a newer thread. Thanks!

Update from the Yakima Herald:
Kittitas County authorities have identified the human remains that were found last month near Stampede Pass.
The Kittitas County Sheriff’s Office said the remains were those of a 49-year-old man who was a homicide victim from Snohomish County, according to a release from the sheriff’s office.
Kittitas County Coroner Nick Henderson identified the man as Justin B. Allan of Everett and said the manner of death was a homicide. Henderson said he could not release the cause of death at this time pending further investigation by Snohomish County officials.
Allan’s remains were discovered by a hiker Oct. 1 in the area about 2 miles south of Keechelus Lake, according to the sheriff’s office. At the time, Sheriff’s Inspector Chris Whitsett said it appeared the remains had been there “for some months.”
Kittitas County officials said an 84-year-old man was arrested in connection with Allan’s death.
The Everett Herald reported that Lloyd Edwin Richmond of Everett was charged with second-degree murder in Allan’s death in September. The paper said Richmond was Allan’s landlord, and that witnesses heard what sounded like gunshots Aug. 28 and later saw Richmond loading a large, tarp-covered object into a vehicle.
Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office said on its Facebook page that Richmond is being held in lieu of $1.2 million bail.
