I hope it goes way over the top because they might need it.
I wholeheartedly agree, this definetly gave me Michael Peterson, "the owl did it" vibes.... I mean animals dont tend to clean up after themselves soooooooo
Certainly people can be killed and dragged away by cougars, but it's a bloody business and you can just follow the bloody drag marks for less than 100 yards until you find the remains. Cougars aren't subtle. That's why they were ruled out early.

Did you see the 3 pics with animals having dragged prey, on the PE site last night? I think 2 were cougar, one bear, or vice versa. Anyway, that woman expert explained how cougars do not just lift up prey of 100 lbs or so and carry it off without any sign. They actually go downhill, dragging the prey through their legs, ie dragging with their jaw, but with the body of the prey dragged along the ground between the 4 legs of the predator, ie 2 legs each side. There were obvious undulating drag signs in the photos. And, there was no way, in the opinion of the 2 experts, that a cougar would kill and drag off prey without leaving probably their own hair behind, plus hair and clothes of human prey. And, that a cougar usually pounces from behind to grab the back of the neck and head, virtually guaranteeing lots of blood from violent head wounds. IMO Blood and bits of clothing would be between rocks, under rocks, on branches and stumps, etc, despite the rainfall. IMO no way would any predator we know of, including large grizzly bears, just lift and carry largish prey away. And, the experts said that about 150 yards would be the normal distance they would drag the victim before feeding, assuming cover, etc. They don't just haul off up a mountain as Barry suggested, in fact they seek lower drainage areas to conserve their own physical strength. The experts were interesting, (and I learned some things) but mainly what they said confirmed what we have all been posting from the beginning. No animal dragged her off from where her bike was, or from her house or nearby areas where so many were searching.
I can't believe GFY gets 15%, that's wack.Thank you!! Just donated. I wish we could put WS member on there but couldn’t see how to do that but I hope AM knows we support him. Even though it’s a *** I trust AM. It has only been open for 6 hours and it’s getting close to $2000 of the $10,000 goal so that’s great.
As a believer in Justice and karma I have to believe that no one will be more detrimental to BMs downfall then BM
AM previously mentioned that any funds remaining from fundraising would be given to SM's daughters that have lost their mother.Thank you!! Just donated.

That other site with 33k donations claims the money is for searching for Suzanne. I thought that was Andy's site at first, since they list all the expenses of searching, including "Compensating family and volunteers for their time spent away from work". I wonder how many ppl think they are donating to Andy's search.
Thank you but we shall see.
My husband used to pack out 100+ lb deer by making a sling with their feet tied in front of him, and with the rack off to the back as not to catch branches. He walked for miles with those deer, because he himself was an upright animal that didn't have to drag a prey. And because the food preparation/eating site was back at the cabin.
