Thinking you might be right about that, remembering Owen Rooney finally located after many years 3 km from where he first went missing.I encourage the searchers to research areas already covered. I don’t think he got far. I’d do a 1 mile radius from the starting point.
He will be found, and I believe he is probably resting in plain sight.
If Ryan did succumb to the elements at Sun Peak I would think his body should have been found by now. I don't remember reading about if any cadaver dogs were used in the search for Ryan.
Prayers for Ryan's family that he is found soon.
…The dogs are trained to find human scent in wilderness, rubble and water searches. With a sense of smell a million times stronger than ours, they can detect any human trace from a distance, be it live or deceased.
"They will catch a scent from far enough and it's very important for a situation like this where the snow is so deep the dog can't go everywhere, so he has to be able to get the scent from far enough, so that he can go in the deep snow only where it's needed," says Montier.
Trudging through nearly two metres of deep snow, the canine unit is focusing on the Burfield area where Ryan was last seen. If he is there, they are confident the dogs will find him.
I’ve never seen more effective, honest or compelling advocacy than Heather’s on behalf of her son and family. She has made her child alive in our hearts and minds; making him a fully realized person that, even as strangers, we feel connected to. Heather has also been incredibly generous in describing the unimaginable challenges and roadblocks that exist for families of missing people.

Just an interesting observation, that has me wondering again, more, still........A study released by Statistics Canada on June 25 placed Sun Peaks at the top of the list in B.C. with the most non-resident homeowners, 16.5 per cent. A non-resident is defined as someone who may be a citizen but doesn’t have a primary address in Canada.
