Well, maybe...we see searchers miss people...
We have Rita Gutierrez for example who is known to have likely been disposed of around Rabbit Mountain—she has still not been found. That WAS FP, but it goes to demonstrate these terrains are vast. Amy Ahonen was never found until the 2013 floods scattered her bones across three different counties...we still don’t know if her death was an accident or not...
Again, this appears to be potentially challenging terrain. We see missing hikers in CO...Additionally, there is much wildlife as we know.
Have you guys talked about mountain lion
dens? (Again, please don’t throw stones at me lol).
While mountain lion attacks are rare, they do happen. I can link examples,’some including bicycles.
They stalk you—you don’t see them but they see you. When they attack, they get you by the jugular then try to drag you off to their “dens”. I don’t think these dens are always visible?
Sorry for any rehash, just looking at all possibilities.
