It just isn't logical, given that the police have had ample opportunity to look at the people and places closest to the victim's everyday life, given that the police have made the statement that the family is fully cooperative, given that the family has handed over all evidence that they believe to be relevant voluntarily, and handed over any additional material as requested, even if they don't understand how it could help find Amy, and has cooperated with any and all investigative activities --
Well, it just isn't logical to assume that the police are missing some bit of information tied to the house, the farm, the immediate neighborhood, or the family that we as "websleuthers" can somehow manage to uncover.
I don't assume that the MGPD are idiots or incompetents . Therefore, logic seems to dictate branching out to some other possibilities. Including what might be going on in the area at the time. (Remember, this is the kind of activity that lead to breaks in the Jacob Wetterling case).
In particular, It seems like it might be of interest that a man in his 50's seems to have either tried to fake his own death, or fell victim to foul play on Weaver Lake fifteen days after Amy disappeared. (Or something else super weird and bizarre. For those who like to obsess about stuff they think is weird, this might be a good thing to add to your repertoire, because it is WAY weirder than someone stopping for gas and using a bathroom.)
For anyone who lives in the area or knows About Weaver Lake; it is not a large or complicated body of water. If this man fell in and drowned, it is very reasonable to expect that the search efforts described would have found him.
But, after several stories (which do not give the mans' name) the stories just sort of peter out, with no resolution. No follow up, no conclusion. We don't know who this man is, if he was ever found alive, if he was ever found dead...nothing. That is profoundly weird and far more interesting than why a man would stop for gas and use the rest room on his way home from a trip to the farm (since it is pretty normal to use the restroom when you need to if you have already stopped for gas. We know that the purpose of stopping was to fill the tank, because there was a gas receipt, which was given to MGPD, which also explains why the family might not be able to post things like the gas receipt; because whatever documentation that they thought might be helpful, they handed over to the MGPD)
