The town of Laramie, Wyo., is named after Jacques La Ramée. Or La Ramie … or La Remy. Historians can’t agree on his name. He was a French Canadian trapper and fur trader who’s credited with being one of the first people to explore and settle in what’s now the state of Wyoming. Around 1821 he vanished. Gone. Au revoir. Theories surfaced on how he died, but there was never a consensus. He just … disappeared. Today, there’s a town, river, fort and mountain peak named in his honor.
Did an offseason full of hope and promise go poof into Wyoming’s famously thin air, never to be seen or heard from again?
