Why risk leaving the wallet now? I mean whoever had it had plenty of time to get rid of it by now. Paranoia of getting caught with it setting in? Guilt? That's a huge risk to actually go and add evidence Unless someone knows something but are too terrified to go to the police.

Maybe someone is trying to make it look like Chad is alive and hiding out in the woods around that area? If the wallet was planted (and I believe it was) that strongly leads me to believe his vehicle with his dog in it was also "planted" in the location it was found so that everyone would think he walked into the woods on his own and either got lost or purposely disappeared. I think we need to look at where Chad was verified to have been seen prior to his vehicle being found.

MOO.
 
I don't understand the reasoning behind putting his wallet in that spot where it was so likely to be found. No leads have arisen in all these months and the case has gone cold. Why do this if you don't want to be caught? Now everyone is talking about him again and being more aware. It makes no sense to me whether he did it or the person responsible did it.

Interesting theory, although they did say he was last seen by campers in the area and he was acting "impaired". There have been no public comments from the campers or in what way was he impaired. Who are these people? In what way was he impaired?

I agree, unless there was something of value in the wallet. Suppose there was, say $200 in the wallet. You found it quite aways away. So you took the money out and then discarded it, in an obvious location. Thus you help the case and get to keep the money. (I know we think he had no money, but who really knows).

Or on the other had perhaps it was someone who had no idea about the missing man and then found it in another area, and held on to and then saw the missing poster and just tossed it, choosing not to get involved personally.

Some people don't like cops, or have things to hide, or simply want to help but don't really want to get involved.

The news did a new interview with Chads parents (link below). I wonder so much about who put the wallet there & why, did they dust it for prints? They either are very tight lipped on this or they aren't doing what they should. Who were these two campers that saw him & why did they say he was impaired. Then there is the dog. So frustrating!!

Have there been any comments about what "impaired" meant? Was he staggering or limping or acting confused? Did they try to talk to him and he didn't respond? Was his dog with him when they saw him? I wonder why LE isn't releasing more of this kind of information.
