Sorry if this was already mentioned, but I checked the weather in Leadore for that day. The temp was 85 degrees. I'm not saying it means anything, but pretty warm to have a jacket on.

Great catch! We should look up the burn bans on July 10th for that area. Yes, 85 degrees is a bit warm for a fire and quite early for cooking dinner. No reason to have a fire.
We went camping last weekend along the Salmon River (near Riggins which is nowhere near Leadore, etc.) and there were fire restrictions in place - absolutely no fire allowed, even in designated fire pits. It made me wonder about DK's statement about leaving Deorr with grandpa by the campfire... I wonder if there were fire restrictions there as well - and most people don't build a fire right away, especially in the afternoon. Just thought it was strange. Not sure that it means anything, though.
Here's another link to weather for July 10th at Stone Reservoir. It says it was 81 degrees at 2:00 p.m.http://www.weatherforyou.com/report...ntry=us&month=07&day=10&year=2015&dosubmit=GoBoth Leadore and the campground are at a pretty high elevation and the air there is thin and dry. It always feels cooler there than the thermometer indicates. I haven't been to that exact campground, but I have camped in that part of the state.
I saw a video of their campsite with a fire going during the day, but I don't know if it was their original campsite or one they moved to after the search began. Interesting info about the fire restrictions! I also thought if they did build a fire right away or if ggp and IR got there earlier and built a campfire, it wouldn't make sense to leave a toddler near the fire with people who can't move very fast.
Other than the road to the campground, I think there are trails all around... for hikers, or people on horses... ATV...
I suppose someone could've gotten to that campground (and away) on foot, or by horse or by ATV, and not necessarily in proximity of that one road.

Except for on foot, every other mode of transportation is pretty noisy. And if someone carried him off on foot, I think it would be more likely that DeOrr would have left a scent trail for the dogs.
What do you think happened?
Still nothing.
Am marking my spot, again.
I'd thought that abduction had been ruled out earlier on; but I'd have to red back through many posts and am really not sure this was even stated.
IF DeOrr was abducted--- it had to be a crime of opportunity, since it wasn't very crowded in that area and someone driving off in a cloud of dust (after grabbing him) would have certainly been noticed !
Baffling that there's no scent markers at all.
Here's a thought/question: If someone is picked up and thrown into a vehicle, and driven away...... can sar dogs find any scent at all ?
Somehow I thought they could follow it for a distance.
Maybe I've been reading too many mystery novels. Anyone remember P.D. James ? I thought he was a superb author.
sorry off-topic.
:moo:
I see where it says the average high temp is 85 on July 10, but the actual high temp was 74 (and that said at the airport closest to Leadore).
This site says the high was 69 in Leadore. http://www.weather.com/weather/monthly/l/83464:4:US
You are right! Thank you for the correction :blushing:
I don't understand why everyone is so hung up on his blanket not being with him. I have a 4 year old and honestly if she was missing one of the things I would do is cling to her "cuddle monkey" as she calls it and be so devastated that she was without it. She by no means walks around with the monkey all day long and does not take it to daycare; however I have said on many occasions that she can't go anywhere without it. I remember her heartbroken tears when we left the monkey at home one trip. She sleeps with it and if she is watching tv on the couch she will have it with her but for the most part it stays at the house with those few exceptions when she sneaks it into the car with her. When they said he didn't go anywhere without those items I just took it to mean those were his favorite things and would sleep with them, take them on trips, play with them constantly, etc. I don't think they meant he literally never put them down as that would be kinda weird.
