I thought maybe CARIIS was thinking of the Brandon Swanson case ("'I talked to him for 47 minutes, and all of a sudden he said, 'Oh, s—!' and the phone went dead,' Brian Swanson said."

Personally, I don't see many similarities between Brandon's and Dakota's cases, but this definitely is a baffling case. My best guess is that unfortunately, Brandon perished due to exposure and has not been found ...
.
Obviously I did write that post correctly.
My post regarding this had nothing to do with his specific case. When I saw his picture that is when my mind started. I was going solely on the similarities , in terms of looks body image, lifestyle (college, had friends, partying, educated age etc)
It the second gentlemen was 29 and chubby.............................
In those domains both of these cases, in terms of what the perp is looking for in terms of targeting
I also found it chilling that they occurred so close , in terms of timeframe to one another.
Killers often strike in clusters.
My angst in these is connected to (NOT if they were gay) --that the perp might "view" them as "being" gay -regardless if they are or not.
My whole life I have never understood why hetero males did not catch it just from interacting with me. WIth females it was different -the opposite.
I worked with juveniles for a peroid. I thought it might be an issue in terms of rapport . I never once had an angry male juvenile engage in some what are you a fa****?
Homophobes have a much more classic sterotype of who
might be gay or not.
My general notion in some of these is that there is a homophobic, 18 wheeler, using apps like Grindr to catch there prey. If we have a nice looking trucker ..............................then we have more issues!
That explains:
So many "events" are off a main interstate
Provides a place to keep them ( in the cab)
Affords ability to get out of dodge easily
Truckers sleep patterns can be messed resulting in late night stuff not being a problem
Killers who strike with frequency have been found to be truckers for above mentioned reasons.
Am I saying all of these - no
but the attracted to for "killing" -- looking gay - and physical appearance is sure a huge commonality in many of these
