For the members who live locally. If you were
limited to a couple of hours where would you dispose of someone that would be very unlikely to be discovered ?
That's so incredibly difficult. I guess because thankfully my mind doesn't go there. And when I try to make it, just wow.
SO many different types of terrain within that span. Flat out east, mountains west, and all within easy distance. As has been said, many places are busy even in the winter with lots of hikers.
North Cheyenne Canyon has plenty of places if a horrible, evil person wanted to push someone off. But honestly, I think you run the risk of whomever you pushed still being seen by someone.
Going north, especially where they are searching, lots of areas of forest. The homes are usually acreages, but so many homes have cameras I'm sure. But for sure there are miles and miles of land with nothing but trees.
North is less populated. The area between Springs and Castle Rock, again where they have been searching, has lots of space.
Going west towards Garden of the Gods, Manitou, lots of places, but again, people.
I do wonder if, and I hate to say it, but if he was disposed of more of in a dumpster in a bag. Anywhere just thrown seems more of a likely chance to be seen.
Further west, if she had time, past Manitou would be Cascade, Divide, Woodland Park. THAT area is full of spots that I think would probably be where someone would go. But she probably didn't have the time, wasn't familiar with the area or something as there doesn't seem to be GPS or pings that are taking them in that direction. And traffic can be a pain when you are trying to get back, and she was trying to get back to be home for when younger one came home.
But again, I just don't know. I am thankful my mind really can't go there. It's too dark a place to let my mind wander too far into.
The Springs is very populated. So a lot of the parks and trails that people see on maps are actually full of people even in the winter. As you head away from the Springs proper, less people and more areas to do horrible things. I cannot even imagine what LE is having to put together puzzle-wise to solve this. We have many people that are never found, especially up in areas like Rocky Mountain National Park where they are found after the snow and ice thaw later.
For those not familiar with this area, it is diverse, it is unforgiving in areas, it is a nightmare to try and search without information or direction. It seems like LE has some direction, thank God, and I will keep praying they get more direction and guidance for GS.
ETA: I do wonder if she drove around and just looked/waited for an opportunity somewhere. Drive here, too many people, drive here, looks better. Drive some more, throw stuff out of the window. IMO JMO MOO
