@Orange And Purple I originally posed the following to (RedAndBlue) who I believe you're related to through extended family:
I'm curious if you know if the beliefs Stan had about "Sea Pines" being a 'set-up' started prior to the vacation or manifested once they arrived? If previous, I wonder if stress about traveling to Hilton Head contributed in any way. I also read Stan is not a fan of the ocean, fears sun exposure, is a golfer, but had not played during the vacation, so it seems visiting Hilton Head may have not been his ideal vacation? I'm curious how long they had been on the island before the disappearnce?
