Some of these search locations appear to be a great distance from the road. Supposed hike aside, LS does not really look to be in peak physical condition. Does anyone have any thoughts on how, hypothetically, LS would get Gannon that far? IM 5’11” and deadlift 280lbs and I don’t think I could get my deadweight 11 year old that far. Let alone without being seen!? Even if Gannon is small for us age, I just don’t see how.
It makes me think they are more likely looking for personal items or other physical evidence?
My mind just isn’t ready to accept that Gannon walked (accompanied) to a remote area of his own strength, but never came out.
