A personal attorney would be subject to attorney client privilege. Perhaps a court order could cause that to be abridged, but in the case at hand, I do not believe has been issued.
RFG did not leave any notes of where he was going, that would be readily available, nor was he inform anyone on staff (including his girlfriend). He also, apparently, did not leave his phone on in Lewisburg. This isn't "deceptive," but it does indicate that he was not advertizing where he would be. Coupled with traveling through a rural area with no cell phone coverage, that would indicate that RFG was not worried about his safety.
