Sorry Hazel, i am not real comfortable doing a timeline right now because a timeline should contain factual information, and, frankly, I don't believe the information provided is entirely accurate or believable.
To be clear, when I use the term LEO in the following, i am referring to the individual, not the entire LE agency.
Since i originally posted that brief chronology early in Owen's case, the information coming out has been fluid (as is natural in cases, but the information is usually more consistent with info initially provided). IMO, the specifics in this case differ too much from the original information that came from the LEO. Two things that have never been disputed since the beginning are that Owen was given a ride by the LEO and that Owen was at the hospital from where he disappeared. Based on the initial information that was made public, combined with the knowledge that people will lie to cover their butts, I am wary of information that is now being provided to Owen's family by the LEO and hospital staff, all of whom were the last known persons Owen had contact with prior to his disappearance.
IMO, one glaring red flag is the LEO going to Christina Lake on a call about a suspicious person. (I am interpreting that to mean that Owen was that suspicion person??)
There is no indication from whoever "they" are that Owen was acting in an obnoxious or threatening manner ... supposedly, he was simply enquiring after his friends. IF "they" are law-abiding persons who rely on assistance from LE, and called LEO about a suspicion person, why was LEO even necessary after they had beaten the crap out of Owen? Why would they beat him up and then call police, or conversely, why would they call police and then beat him up? Why would they beat Owen up and then make a phone call that could, or
should result in "them" being charged with assault? Who are "they" and why did LEO not charge "them" with assault against Owen. It's a criminal offence to beat people just because they show up at your door, let alone showing up at your door simply looking for someone. Who are "they" that are so overly-protective and what is it they are over-protective about, that some small guy looking for his friends takes a severe beating ... and why does it appear that LEO took their side by removing Owen but not charging "them"?
Rehashing here, but ... LEO originally indicated Owen had bruising and seemed ill. Then we find out he had bleeding from the ears. LEO initially claims he dropped Owen at the bus depot, then at the bus depot with a suggestion he go to hospital, then it was he was dropped at the hospital. Initial information from the hospital indicated the Owen was being treated for minor injuries. By the time family met with the hospital on Oct 7, that information morphed into him "acting abnormally and paranoid" which NOW seems to conveniently support the initial information provided by the LEO.
Now we have the statement " there is a suspicion that somebody picked him up". Major statement not backed up by anything further. What is that suspicion based on? Who do they think picked him up, when was he picked up, from where was he picked up, and who advised the family of that suspicion?
IMO, with over 2 months since Owen disappeared, there are too many different versions of things from people/agencies that we should be able to rely on for accurate information ... and maybe too much time for those involved to get their ducks in a row.
I feel this case is going the route of "misadventure" when there are too many red flags to firmly believe in that conclusion.
Shucks Hazel, am just not sure i'm the best person to do a timeline right now
PS: I don't know how Nelson factors in unless the Shambhala venue is midway between Salmo and Nelson.
