Fairy, thanks for the response re: the phone records. I've read that answer before, but it seems like it was quite some time ago.
I certainly understand that the family does't want to put out SK's phone records for the general public to see; however, it would make me, and others I'm sure, more at ease to know that the records were searched for everything that they could be searched for -not only who may or may not have attempted to contact him in the immediate days and week or so after he went missing, but also to compare patterns of calls with the previous few months -even the last year, if possible. In the two or three months leading up to his disappearance, for example, did he increase contact significantly with anyone? This wouldn't necessarily be fruitful, but it sure would be more information that could, at some time, maybe a later date, fit in w/ other information w/ which to form a theory.
In addition to phone records, I'd think that it would be most helpful to piece together as much of his life over the last year, to the extent possible, anyway. We know he drove a lot in the days up to his disappearance and that his family says that that was unusual, but has anyone really compared that activity with previous months? Taken bank statements, receipts -any that can be found- and tried to see if he'd taken some trips that he hadn't told anyone about? After all, I don't think anyone would have known he'd taken the RV trip if he hadn't disappeared.
Again, it's understandable that his family don't wish to communicate much of this info. to strangers, but it would be so helpful to at least know if they've done those things.
Okay, I probably just said things that everyone's been saying here for quite some time. Just wish we had more info. so we'd have a better idea about which direction to go in!
