Heard 10,000 versions of this and they all say the same thing that it was possible he fell into a river but nobody EVER explains whether or not that was actually possible?
To say. Where is the river located, 10 foot down an embankment and 5’ off the road and where is the road relative to the river, did it run parallel with it or perpendicular? Was the road a lot higher than the river?
Was the river the same level as the road since they said that it was the highest ever and was it at the point of flooding? Were there any paths that crossed over the river where he could’ve stepped off of it or bridges?
Even the maps they show points out EVERYTHING except the location of the river in reference to the road!!! LOL
I’ve seen a lot of rivers in my life and there’s no way to accidentally fall into it unless you stop walking make a right-hand turn and walk down the embankment and jump into the river!!!!
Also hypothermia just doesn’t fit into the scenario because you would have to ignore the fact that he said “oh *advertiser censored*” or whatever the word was before the phone went dead. People don’t die like that from hypothermia.
Now you could say he fell into a hole and then died of hypothermia but that wouldn’t really be the cause of death, falling into the hole would be in my opinion.
These type cases are always I think a LOT more simple than people make them out to be and only complicate them and get all freaked out to it being a mystery because of the “disappearance” factor and especially the “missing no body” factor but that shouldn’t change any of the obvious facts!
You only have TWO possibilities. Accident or foul play. We can rule out foul play because unless a madman was hiding in the middle of nowhere at 2 AM on the off chance that somebody would get stranded and start walking down the road is a lottery hit at best. BEST foul play possibility is a farmer thought he was a thief and shot him dead then hid body because of the fear factor.
So next you have accident and very seldom is there anything “mysterious or complicated” there. The boy had an accident and died. Considering accidents are the FOURTH leading cause of death in America, i’d say that’s much more probable then the crazed farmer scenario.
Also considering that regardless of search and rescue, there have been hundreds of cases where search and rescue did a very thorough search and gave up and then the body was found a month / year later in the EXACT same search area!!
It’s extremely difficult to locate a body that’s in a remote area regardless of how many people are searching for it and it is more than probable that the body is simply down some kind of hole or in a shaft or an embankment hidden between cracks or wherever, it doesn’t matter you can fill in the blanks.
My point is simply this. The only thing that really separates this from an everyday accidental death and being a strange mystery is the fact that the body hasn’t been located, because if it was located this case would’ve been closed along time ago and nobody would care.
So if you’ll just go ahead and tell yourself the body is there, somewhere, but just cannot be found, that makes this case of accidental death very very simple.
