It’s not a dumb question at all, but I have no idea what the typical patterns on that are. I’d guess it was similar to your area, although again probably more common in outlying areas (Arvada, Boulder, etc) than in Denver.Thank you for the info about the area. It’s always hard to decide when you know little about the area. I’ve been to Colorado but not spent a whole lot of time there and in general, anywhere seems much easier to hide and not be found than where I am. Out of curiosity, is it common for the homeless or transient population to go a long time without having a cell phone out there? I know it sounds like a dumb question but I have worked with a lot of homeless around here and I’d say a big majority of them have cell service even if it is inconsistent. Of course that is with the younger population mostly. I suppose if you don’t want found, no cell is a good way to stay unfound.
Also in terms of the area, the school in question here is right on the Denver/Westminster border. Heavy suburbs to the N/E/W, slightly more open to the south for a mile or so until it gets into the city. There is a greenbelt along the light rail tracks a couple blocks from the school, but not many tucked away places that a body could be hidden for this long aside from that (and even there it probably wouldn’t be too hard to find one if you were looking for it.)
What this area IS good for, however, is getting out of it fast. He could have hopped that light rail to Union Station, then gotten on the flatiron flyer (bus) and been in Boulder within an hour and a half of walking out of the school. If he didn’t pay for the light rail (which is easy to get away with) the trip would have cost like 3 bucks.
