Two days non-stop on foot according to Google maps - that’s a long old walk (140 miles) in the desert heat/cold, though it would fit with the idea that he kept on heading north-west after the crash (per my post #355, above). Dumped his clothes in the belief that it would hinder tracking by dogs and used a tarp as a sunshade? A long shot perhaps, but I guess DR will be on the list of possibles for DNA matching.Isn't that like 3+ hours away?
I have been on the side saying " he wandered into the desert" however when I heard of this body even with the distance I felt a gut punch. even with the distance, the tarp screams foul play and I am curious , awaiting more info.Isn't that like 3+ hours away?
there are a few possibilities, some family somewhere will get some answers and dare I say relief... not knowing is really, really tough. Anxious like the rest of you!
Ugh, I'm sorry - a re-read sounds insensitive. I merely meant that they may find relief in finally knowing what happened after not hearing and expecting the worst. (ETA: still not quite right. This would be the worst. I'll just stop.)If this UID was a migrant and his family is hoping he made it successfully through the desert....they won't be relieved. IMO. This topic is particularly sad to me. (ETA: and I'm sure also to you. I suspect this UID will be a migrant, as remains of migrants have been found in the search for Daniel.)
ETA: still not quite right.
None that I ever saw.Did Daniel put more gas in his Jeep after the Shell transaction? If he did not make a fuel purchase (perhaps a company credit card?) are there places, such as the substation, or equipment sites where Daniel could have accessed fuel?
Yes....3 hours maybe a bit more.Isn't that like 3+ hours away?
Yes.Well if we're looking NW, it's definitely not the White Tanks, my bad.
It could be the Harquahala Mountains:

This is the correct orientation.Could be - I’m finding it hard to figure from Google Earth alone. If that was his target, my current best estimate as to his direction of travel after the crash would be approximately west north-west along the white line in the image below - though obviously Harquahala is another 25+ miles further west and he would have to divert in order to cross a canal (black line) before coming to any mountains.

IMO ...unrelated.But, but, but job site / crash site in relation to this TARPED UID discarded remotely in a pile of debris (!!thud!!) is def interesting...imho.
I am feeling this is a strong possibility.
Buckeye police investigating a set of remains found. Keeping an eye on this in case it’s Daniel.
