Interesting. ^^^
Weren't there clothes, makeup, other toiletries of hers in the camper ????
Stuff in the car that belonged to her ?
Some women take an arsenal of everything with them on trips, including but not limited to : Extra shoes, changes of clothes, sunscreen, water cooler bottles (like a green Yeti drink bottle),makeup, feminine hygiene supplies, small portable fan with a 'mist-er', etc.
This is really going to raise up my hinky meter if nothing was found that belonged to her !
SAR would not have searched the truck or trailer (which were back at their house for most of this search). They'd need a warrant to search the truck and trailer and LE would do this (not SAR). LE and SAR together found no physical evidence of her in the area where she disappeared.
But maybe they did get a peek inside the truck at some point? Maybe RT let them look?
Even if her belongings are found inside the vehicle and RV, that's not proof that she was out at Kelbaker Road. This is a really strange and concerning case.
Our reporter on scene (sroad) mentioned that there were cars traveling past the location where it was believed the camper was parked about one every minute. IIRC it was also said the traffic would be heavier on Friday's, the same day of the week BT went missing. Perhaps a car every 30 seconds or so.
Where the camper was parked is believed to be directly across the road from where the trail begins and where BT would have crossed the road.
If she had crossed the road there and a passing motorist (monster) stopped to abducted her, that person(s) would have had to have gotten out of the car and wrestled her into the car. I doubt she would have went willingly.
Now I don't know about you, but if I were driving down the highway and seen a car pulled over in the middle of the desert with people scuffling around I would likely slow down at the very least to see if someone needed help thinking their car had broken down. As I approached this car if I seen someone wrestling with a women in a black bikini I would have for sure stopped. (Not every day you see that)
Point being, driving past a bikini clad women standing along the side of a road or crossing the road out in the middle of the desert would be a memorable event in itself. Someone forcing a bikini clad women into a car in the middle of the desert would be even more memorable. But no one that we know of has come forward to say they even seen a bikini clad women anywhere in the desert.
You would surely think if there was a car passing by every 30 seconds were BT in her bikini crossed the road someone would have said "Ya, I remember seeing her"

^^^ Agreed.... heeheehee....Great questions! But Lord help me, I don’t want to be needing feminine hygiene supplies at age 69. MOO
It does not seem like something aunts and cousins do together, hiking in bikini in the Mojave desert in 114F.
Then again, I am from another country so not sure here.
My question is..have the police changed their stance on this? I have seen many articles like the above one. BUT I still am not finding it anywhere where he is a POI.LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — UPDATE JULY 22: Robert Thomas says that police are now looking at him as a suspect in his wife's disappearance while the couple was on a hike in the Mojave Desert.
Man says police think he is a suspect in wife's disappearance

I don't know where you're getting this information but I can assure you that SBCSO is investigating every possibility. MOOThey did search for her in the desert, but did not explore a kidnapping scenario, so it isn't the same logic.
Very possible she was never there though. IM0
So I don’t really know much about how scent dogs work. Would they be able to determine that a person *was* somewhere, even if they aren’t there anymore? Like if Barbara at one point sat on a rock, under perfect circumstances would the dogs be able to smell she had been on that rock?
If she took off voluntarily and is safe somewhere, though, wouldn't she have reached out to her adult child? Or the dying brother she was about to fly to the other side of the planet to see (or his children)? What I'm saying is, she might have been willing to run off on her husband if things were not good between them, but what about everyone else in her life?It appears that the water and phone were in the possession of the husband. He is most likely the one who hid the key under a rock as well. Hopefully, she knew where to find the key. JMO but I'm beginning to think that all was not good with this couple and that maybe they were having a disagreement and she decided to flag down the next car and hightail it out of there. That is the good case scenario. My other thought is that she was not there at this location where he says that she is missing. JMO
I feel this may be an extremely obvious detail to post for my first post, but I wanted to share my thoughts because it was questioned why someone would hike in a bikini (at any age).^^^ Agreed.... heeheehee....
I forgot she is 69.
But in a bikini, or at least a bikini top, no less.![]()
Welcome to Websleuths, Liwthe.I feel this may be an extremely obvious detail to post for my first post, but I wanted to share my thoughts because it was questioned why someone would hike in a bikini (at any age).
When I was a teenager living somewhere rural with very small trails into the bush (scrub really), a few times I decided to strip off down to my undies because I was getting exercise while also receiving a much, at the time, coveted tan. I stashed my clothes etc on the trail. The one time I thought I heard someone coming on the isolated trails, I ducked into the bushes.
Sorry if that was a long winded way to say I think it’s possible she was enjoying getting a tan while out walking. I haven’t looked at all her pics, but a few I’ve seen show her quite tanned.
It’s also quite liberating. I’ve certainly canoed and hiked more recently in a bikini in the wilderness when overheated, even though I eschew the sun now (lots of sunscreen, although this isn’t as good as clothing as well).
I wouldn’t say minimal clothing or bikinis are comfortable in high heat or strong sun, as the direct sun on the skin makes you feel hot. Light clothing protecting skin and a broad brimmed hat is often cooler in my experience. Sometimes in the high heat however, you just want to strip off when you get sweaty. Or I should say, I do.
I don’t think age has any bearing on it aside from a better grasp of sun safety and aging considerations.
Some people are more comfortable with their bodies, and wouldn’t find it uncomfortable at all with a husband in a mostly isolated spot.
I’m just trying to provide an explanation if Barbara Thomas was out there hiking in a bikini.
If she took off voluntarily and is safe somewhere, though, wouldn't she have reached out to her adult child? Or the dying brother she was about to fly to the other side of the planet to see (or his children)? What I'm saying is, she might have been willing to run off on her husband if things were not good between them, but what about everyone else in her life?
