Although I have two main theories, I will restate the one that I believe is more traceable and more plausible.
The theory is that for some reason, which is difficult to determine since there were no solid clues left behind and SK was unpredictable due to life's distress, he drove to SCA on Sunday, December 13th, 2009. At noon he left his vehicle parked in the cul-de-sac of the retirement community and departed with some guiding material, such as a map or a plan. He headed for the golf course and gained access to it via one of the two utility easements between the homes. Once on the course, he followed the paths northerly and came upon one of the upstream reaches of the Pittman Wash. He followed the wash northerly downstream, sometimes taking advantage of the nearby walking and biking paths. By 5pm and over twelve miles later, he made his way up to the area of the first cell phone ping, near the Hendersons Parks & Recreation area (N. Arroyo Grande Blvd./Santiago Dr.). He continued downstream but he couldn't take advantage of the paths since they terminated shortly past the park. By 7pm he made his way another half a mile downstream, near the second ping location (N. Stephanie/W. Sunset Rd.). He continued another mile downstream, but as the night was setting in, he decided to rest beneath a bridge, somewhere by the third ping location (N. Stephanie St./US-95). He spent the night there in the cold as the temperatures dropped to the mid 30's. He might have gotten wet from his travel in the channel. At 7am he checked his voicemail, which was his last identifiable act. He then either succumb to hypothermia, ended his life, or was come upon by shady character(s) and was killed. His cell phone was therefore in that location for two more days until the battery ran out. Due to this theory, had a search been conducted in the Pittman Wash near the third ping location shortly after SK's disappearance, a body would have been discovered. But as time went by, and storm runoff passed through that wash and the downstream Las Vegas Wash, his remains were transported downstream and were scattered about over the following months. Today the search area increased from the concentrated Pittman Wash area at ping #3 to anywhere from that wash to Lake Mead.
He very well could have been ongoing manic/depressive and didn't seek treatment which is why he did stuff no reasonable person would do: moving to St George, driving around like a trucker on bennys and then when he came down said "FYIQ", parked his car and walked to his doom
Personally, I still think he walked away.
