The exact location of the man's secret hideaway was not given, but photos posted on the Indiana DNR Law Enforcement Facebook page show that there is a river nearby. The Indiana DNR Law Enforcement wrote on Facebook:
"If you’re going to play mountain man, do it on your own property, or get permission first. A girls youth group was surprised to discover this recently abandoned campsite and associated trash in a very remote cave on their property overlooking a high, rugged bluff. Indiana Conservation Officers caught up with the homesteader in jail, as he is currently incarcerated on unrelated charges. Turns out he’s actually a convicted felon with a lengthy criminal history, and was just looking for a good temporary hideout. ICOs informed him that he was trespassing and that his home on the Indiana frontier was being dismantled."
