Right, and everything I have found publicly available about these trails, leads me to believe they're not the type of place an experienced person would get lost. At least not in a serious way. PK has solid navigation skills, and solid survival skills.
Let's talk about his not being "heat adapted". As a former president of an outing club, he would 100% have knowledge and practice with being outdoors in all kinds of conditions. This is just a casual Saturday morning run, so what motivation would he have to push himself into heat stroke?
These are the reasons I am leaning towards either a catastrophic medical emergency, like a sudden heart attack where he somehow dragged himself off the trail and has been tragically overlooked, or he parked the car and never ran the trail.
I have no explanation for why he would do the latter.
I keep thinking about being dragged off the trail & my thought is: wouldn’t that be seen on the trail? Just like there are footprints, wouldn’t there be a trace in the dirt if a large human body had been dragged off the trail? Although I guess if it happened in a grassy area maybe not but the grass might be more compacted. ??
