Detective Dick Blust Junior with the Sweetwater County Sheriff's office says hypothermia caused the death of a Rock Springs man whose body was found about 17 miles north of Green River on December 31st.
Accompanied by two 17-year-old girls, Johnson rolled the 1994 Oldsmobile he was driving on the 14-Mile Road near Alkali Creek late on the night of December 30. The three left the vehicle and attempted to walk out of the area throughout the night and early the next morning.
The two girls returned to the road and were picked up by a passing driver, who notified authorities. A search was initiated and Johnson’s body was found in the draw about three quarters of a mile from the intersection of the Blue Rim and 14-Mile Roads around 10:00 AM. Foul play is not suspected in Johnson’s death, nor is alcohol believed to have been a factor.
