Not only was Barbara on a clear trail, it was bordered closely by thick Cholla cactus growth.
Even if she felt dizzy-- the pain of those cacti would've kept her from wandering very far.
Per the photos by sroad and others; which has been so helpful in understanding what a clearly marked path Barbara was on.
And we still don't know if she was actually drinking beer or even if she had a beer container in her hand.
There's never been any proof that she was drinking.
Possibly a drone search could help if any clues can be found that lead to where Barbara actually IS.
Keeping up hope for her nephew, son, and siblings.
They loved her so much !
Might I say "the Mad Scientist" is not so "Mad"
Why would one park at a Red Roof Inn ACROSS the street from the gas station !
To establish a timeline corroborated by what He tells the Chevron worker " his wife is alive and well in his truck across the street" Convenient ? You bet. Establish she was still alive and well and in her underwear before they got to the hiking trail.
I believe LE knows exactly what is going on but does not have enough evidence to bring an arrest.
If in 5 months they have not found her alive or dead than there is a good chance she may have been put on Ice before any more Ice was needed .
I can't answer for the OP, but IIRC, BT was not seen on the Chevron/convenience store's video - which, IMHO, does not mean that she was not there, and also IMHO, does not mean that there is "no chance" that BT was along at that point. MOOI’m afraid I must be misunderstanding something here. Can you explain why the 9:00 a.m. timestamp at the Chevron means that there is no chance BT was along at that point. If they left home as late as 8:30 (not impossible AFAIK) and it takes 30 minutes to get to the Chevron, why wouldn’t BT be there? #feelingdense

Don't accuse people who have never been mentioned in this case of committing a crime.
To clarify my statement for Lilibet why I believe BT could not be along the 30 minute drive to the Chevron: even with a hole pre-dug, too much time would be needed to do the deed and cover the evidence.
I really have to commend organizations such as Wings of Mercy for the work they do.Here is an article about the groups that helped find Paul Miller’s remains. Can your family reach out to them @dbdb11? Or perhaps you already have.

“Miller's disappearance remained a mystery when Nuckolls learned about it from Wings of Mercy, which is a similar nonprofit drone search and rescue group based in Canada. Western States Aerial Search members got ahold of the Miller family and asked them about the possible places he might have gone in 2018.
They studied the terrain and mapped a flight path grid that covered about 1.5 square miles where the drone flew over last month after they received clearance to drone from park rangers, Nuckolls explained. The drones flew with a camera pointed directly at the ground, collecting about 7,000 photos in the process. Those photos were sent to various volunteer sleuths at Wings of Mercy, who helped search for clues.”
Utah drone searchers may have solved missing hiker’s disappearance at California national park
I wholeheartedly agree. BT is findable, IMHO.I still think she could be found out of the timeline & parameters given.

bbmImho, one cannot compare the case of Paul Miller to that of BT.
PM set out deliberately for the purpose of a deliberate desert hike, all on his own. There was nobody with him who could say for sure where he was at any given point in time. It is only known for sure where his vehicle was parked. He was there for specific reasons of his own, and we have no idea what might have prompted him to venture off to wherever he did before he succumbed for whatever reasons he did.
On the other hand, it was an impromptu short stop to see rock formations which prompted BT to be out in the desert. BT was not going for a hike, nor was she prepared for hiking, based on her reported attire and her stated supplies (none, other than beer in hand). She had someone right there with her who knew exactly where she was at the moment she disappeared, and what time it was, and where she was headed to, and the location of her destination, how close it was and how evident its path was, from where she disappeared. Because her travel-mate was aware of all of this, he also contacted police much sooner than likely would have been the case with someone in a position such as Paul Miller's.
There also seems to have been people who believe they saw PM on the trails on the day he went missing, but meanwhile, there have been no sightings of BT reported since she left her own home that morning.
So while it is wonderful news that PM's body was located, even though there was nobody with him to say where exactly he was on that day, BT's body remains hidden even though we know exactly where she was. To me, these are completely different circumstances.
Maybe she avoided the cactus.If she became disoriented and went off the cleared path, then surely she would've run into issues with the cactus and she would've been heard, especially considering all of her exposed skin?
Very possible. I walked around and it never touched my bodyMaybe she avoided the cactus.
She could have walked to the remote camping area .. If she walked from where RT said they were .. Barbara would have been in full view of anyone who had stopped at the vevicle viewing area as she walked. Then she would find her way through the Granite boulders to the remote camping area..Maybe she avoided the cactus.
