Am I the only one who wonders if this kid even lived here prior to this abduction? Or at least possibly not full-time? And even after the abduction? The sheriff said one thing they were looking for were receipts and whether she had been there the entire time she was missing, etc. I guess even though secluded and with many part-time residents, no one seemed to realize he lived there or that anyone did it sounded like from some. Maybe he planned this for mid October for several reasons. People perhaps who may stay up there most of the summer go home, some probably winterize (possibly). It is about the time utilities will not cut you off if you do not pay. If the concrete job is true, he may have known he would now have free time. As someone else mentioned, could he have said to dad, I will be laid off soon, let me live there and I will work on remodeling the place. Could the concrete company have had a job in Barron this past summer? Another possibility... He may not have not lived at the place, went up there as he felt like, couch surfed, lived with a friend, family member, moteled it if the company sent them out of town (I have no idea if the concrete company does more commercial or personal types of concrete jobs). Another thought is, is it possible he is drawing unemployment? One would need enough hours, etc. and there is a formula but just a thought....
