1. Friends: we don't know, as it's not been made public. It's either folks who believe BM is entirely innocent of SM's disappearance, or folks that just really want her to be brought home safely. Either way, I don't see anything nefarious with the donor folks.
2. I didn't watch the "dad with a phone" video, but I do know that it's entirely common for LE to not share details related to the investigation, even with the closest people connected to the victim. The integrity of an ongoing investigation must be maintained, for an air tight case. I don't find that unusual at all.
3. Big disconnect if BM really is this "big game hunter" folks are saying he is. I'm sure I've missed a lot, but where did that info come from, anyway?
If BM is not in fact, a seasoned, big game hunter, it makes perfect sense that he might push the wild animal attack theory (assuming of course, he's entirely innocent).
If, on the other hand he is in fact an experienced big game hunter and he's still pushing a highly unlikely theory of a cat attack, he's either got a screw loose or he's hoping the rest of the world does, and won't notice how unlikely this theory really is. I'm guessing he's not really all that experienced or knowledgeable about the local wild cats.
I've seen nothing in MSM to suggest there was a warrant for his truck's GPS data. If that's true, I'm sure someone has a link?

I haven't hunted for many years, but when I did, I knew many hunters who came from the midwest to the west to hunt the big game. I would rate the best of them as "fair" hunters. I never met one that I would consider to be an expert.
There is not supposed to be anyone alive in the United States who has ever hunted mountain lions, wolves, grizzly bears or bald eagles for sport. If they have, they belong in a federal prison. I think it's safe to say that BLM is not an expert on mountain lions, nor is anyone on the sheriff's department roster. As an amateur, he is entitled to his opinion, just like us. As I said before, if I were in his shoes, I wouldn't let go of the mountain lion, either. If he is innocent, it helps him to cope with an enormous tragedy; and if he's not, it doesn't matter at all. It's higher on the gullibility scale than saying she joined the mother ship parked behind a comet. IMO
