Respectfully snipped by me
Another thought about this ... you got me thinking...
The search was the biggest ever conducted in the Mountains.
Ive always wondered why, and thought it might have to do (in part) with the profiles of Oracle, The Fairmont, Tourism, and the Police - but apart from that ..
much of the information given through Main Stream Media and Police has been so minimal and clouded - piecemeal, that I now have the impression that they weren't just looking for a young man who went for a walk and disappeared. That has happened a hundred times this year.
I think this Search & Rescue op was huge because Police believed something else had happened to Gary - more than lost, foul play and running away - he could have come to grief at the hands of someone else, or someone else's involvement.
Now we know there were other people and circumstances involved - (all in hindsight) it makes sense Police said nothing.
But what it has done is make it look like a dirty little secret, and some may feel robbed of the facts. But, I believe people would have still searched even if they had known early and upfront about what was going on. And I'm glad they did search so thoroughly - if anything has happened to Gary other than 'misadventure' Police have covered the ground.
I'm sure there's a whole heap of information (now) we don't know about too.
I still feel terribly sad that a young promising life has been tragically lost BUT I'm also really upset that so many resources and so many people where involved in such a massive search when Gary voluntarily left the Fairmont to source drugs.
