"What happened during the
20 to 45 minutes the child was alone is a mystery to authorities, said Bowerman, who noted "all possibilities" are being investigated."

It was a lot longer than 10 minutes.
20-45 minutes.
The article mentions that the creek next to the campsite emptied into the reservoir. I thought that the reservoir emptied into the creek. It makes a difference to me since IR was fishing downstream and GGP assumed 'he went up' to his parents.
What does up mean? Is the reservoir at a higher altitude than the camp site? In which direction is "up"? Did the parents walk UP to the reservoir on their walk about? Or is the other direction up too, like are they in a valley?
20-45 minutes is considerably longer than the '4-10 minutes, 50 yards away' measurements we have been using. A LOT can happen in 45 minutes. Maybe he was, in fact, missing for an hour when they called 911 but they only knew it for the last 15 minutes, having heard from GGP.
Is it possible in 45 minutes for this baby to fall into the creek and float downstream 50 yards to where IR was fishing? This is what I am getting too, the long way around.
Is it possible in 45 minutes for an abductor to carry the child out of sight and into a getaway vehicle parked far away? Yes.
They were at the campsite after 1pm. At 2:36pm(?), the child was reported missing for an hour. What did they do between 1pm and 1:36pm (if we want to get quasi technical)? Lunch? Campfire cooking? Sit around and draw in the dirt? What?
They need to do a full blown re-enactment, with all the stuff in place and a camera person that can capture the depth of the terrain, the height of the brush, the depth of the creek bank. And have someone drive along the top and bottom roads and capture what can be seen from those roads. Photos of the reservoir focusing on the are where the cremains were scattered. Road into town. Restaurant, gas station.
Tell the story along with it and send it to all the news stations nationwide. Well, that is what I would do.
