I'm beginning to wonder whether the search for public transportation to Sutro Baths/Baker Beach had any intentional significance at all. Before the Instagram photo was found, I figured John could have ridden that train to SFO or transferred to a different BART train and gone to the Oakland Airport. Without that photo showing up, his search of a route to Lands End was just as "random" as the street views that were uncovered later. We only know he ended up at Lands End because we have a photo.
If I were planning to disappear, there is no way that I would do significant searches on my computer. Isn't everything you search traceable if someone knows how? I'm going to assume that whatever was found on his computer means next to nothing and wasn't meant either as a clue to his family or a diversion.
I don't think he went there to die. Others have laid out valid reasons to discount suicide. I think he paid a last visit to a place he had spent his youth, knowing he might never return.
From there, with help, I believe he left the country...by auto, plane or boat. Has anyone seen Gravink and Hewitt lately? Only half joking.
All JMO, subject to change without notice.
Wow, the reality just hit home with me when you stated it here, Lillibet. Though I had already been thinking it, it wasn't real to me until you came out and said it. But I think you're probably right, I think he left the country. How sad for his family though.
On one hand, it's so hard for me to imagine anyone doing this, totally walking away from their families.... but then again, I've had moments in my life as I've gotten older, even recently, that I've gotten so tired, of conflicts, of things concerning others in my life, and I have thought how nice it might be to just leave, to escape, to just walk away. I've actually had visions of myself getting in my car with my dog, and just driving away. But after that, then what? LOL :thinking:
Is anyone else here in that same boat?
