Let's consider the amnesia angle. Wallet and phone were not found. If Shane forgot who he was the wallet would have solved the mystery. If he didn't have his wallet and phone on him then they would have been found in the car or nearby. As much as I want the amnesia scenario to work, I just don't see how it could. Anyone think it fits? If so, why and how?
Amnesia, probably not. However, we don't know, did he hurt his head during any part of the crash? If so, amnesia could have played a role. The reason why I say probably not is because Brett and he had their phone conversations, and Shane was able to remember his phone number, call his brother, and they seemed to have talked for about three minutes, maybe more.
Kenny, have their been any reports released of when Shane talked to Brett after the crash, exactly where he was in relationship to the car? Where was he standing? Sitting? or Kneeling? How was his speech? Obviously he was shooken up and traumatized. I think these are the most important things in terms of evidence:
1) Shane and Brett's EXACT phone communications on both calls.
2.) The EXACT conversation that Shane had with the "young couple" who offered to help.
3.) Shane's speech, movements, thought-processes after leaving the bar, the impact of the crash, Shane's movements and thoughts afterwords?
4.) All of Shane's contacts with LE and Rescue personnel during this time.
5.) Anyone else who offered to help other than the "Young Couple." Did the "Young Couple" offer to help in a general way, or give specific advice to Shane like, "Buddy are you OK? Do you need to go to the hospital?
6.) If Shane felt he had to flee to avoid an arrest, where could he have hid? Especially where could he have hid and survived, but not to be seen for three years?
7) Who, if anyone. say Shane walk away, or get into another car, or put into an ambulance? Or even go into the water? I can't rule out the water possibility, although the active pings on the phone for five days makes that unlikely. Why won't they come forward?
I still think LE intimidated him and forced him to leave, rather than wait for Brett, and LE doesn't want to take responsibility for that. Or LE did something bad to Shane, in the process of treating him like a DUI perpetrator rather than a crash victim. Why else would there be all this pain and red-tape out there for the poor Fell family going through this?
If LE had nothing to hide, they would be fully helping. LE is doing next to nothing, so they are IMO hiding something.
