Around the 9 minute mark Deorr (father) says he wasn't more than 50 yards away, and then the mother interrupts with "10 minutes", which the father then seems (to me) to awkwardly try and spin her remark into the time it took for the parents to figure out little Deorr was gone.
I see two ways of making sense of her remark. Either she meant they were ten minutes away from the campsite (which is not 50 yards, it would take around a minute to walk 50 yards), or she meant they were gone ten minutes.
So they left Deorr with GGP to walk 50 yards away, hang around for 8 or so minutes (hence the ten minute remark, minus walking), and then return back to GGP and discover Deorr was not with GGP.
Or, they went further away, and it took them 10 minutes to walk back (which is far greater than 50 yards), which it appears (to me) that the mother seemed to be implying. If she was in fact implying that "10 minutes" meant the distance of the walk and NOT the time since they left Deorr, then why did Deorr Senior (father) spin her remark to mean the time since they left Deorr, and not the distance back?
If it seems like I'm grasping at straws, it's because I am. With so little information to go on, not even a clear timeline and Deorr's parents appearing to avoid (hide from?) the media, all that's left to do is pour over any piece of information we have. It could well be the case that the mother simply meant what Deorr senior implied, that "10 minutes" referred to the time between their last sighting of Deorr and the time it took to discover he was missing. Or, it could mean that she was referring to the distance they were away from the campsite (10 minute walk), which would contradict Deorr Senior's statement of 50 yards. Who takes 10 minutes to walk 50 yards?
Probably nothing but I'm just throwing this out there.
Also I'm not much of a person for feelings or 'vibes' etc, and maybe it's just me but does anyone else feel like their manner during this interview is kind of 'off'? The father spends so much time thanking the SAR, volunteers, his boss, etc, I get the feeling that it's just a little.. 'forced'. It's as if he's trying to convey emotion and thanks and being grateful and I can kind of make out points where it's almost as if he's about (or trying?) to cry, and there's really something strange about the mothers manner.
If I put myself in his shoes, which admittedly is hard to do seeing as though none of my children have ever gone missing and I don't know how I would behave, but his son is missing, there's been EXTENSIVE searches conducted and NOT A SINGLE TRACE of Deorr has been found, not even a scent, and yet there he sits thanking everyone for their effort. If Deorr really did wander away, then surely "you could not ask for better people" doesn't fit. If SAR is so great (in his mind), then why haven't they found a single trace of evidence? Why is he praising people who have essentially turned up nothing?
Please note I am not attacking SAR/volunteers etc, and I admit I am making mountains out of molehills, but what else is there to do when little Deorr has been missing this long without a trace, and so, so little information?
Why aren't the parents taking every chance they can get to keep their sons disappearance in the media? They appear to be doing the exact opposite... Perhaps they're afraid of rumours, or they genuinely think he's out there and it's a case for the SAR, or perhaps something else is going on.
A *HUGE* red flag, for me at least, is that the FBI is now involved. If this really is a case of child wanders away from campsite, and succumbs to the elements, I hate to be graphic but even if his remains are located beyond the 3 mile radius (with Deorr somehow wandering that far in oversized cowboy boots not shedding a single item of clothing leaving any scent or trace evidence), shouldn't the dogs be able to pick up on the scent of decomposition? Seeing as though they haven't, doesn't this at least point towards Deorr NOT being in the area? Why is the sheriff so sure? Why is the FBI now involved?
Sorry for the rambling post, I guess like everyone else I'm just so frustrated with this case. So little information, and what information there is is contradictory or unsure. Where is Deorr?!
