The other reason to not allow others to assist in difficult terrain is to avoid creating a secondary incident with an untrained, unprepared volunteer getting lost, injured, etc. They only have so many trained people and the search always starts at the last known location. I will be very...

I wouldn't read into this statement. Dog teams and trackers want to find evidence (or lack of!) Where he may have wandered off to. I don't have enough info to feel that this isn't an accidental wandering at this point (especially withan autism diagnosis). There are lots of acceptable reasons...

No news updates but there is someone who's name and age match listed as currently living in Houston. Would be good to confirm that new Orleans took her off their missing persons list!

I am not sure a woman would be confident enough in her strength to commit this type of crime, I would think a woman would use a gun. I keep thinking of Greg Lynn in Australia who was just annoyed by his fellow camper and it escalated to murder.

Just a caution, if you connect to a cheap solar charger pack that is not actively getting enough sun it can actually drain your battery instead of charge it. I stick with name brand small power banks!

Just catching up on this thread - I was a summer worker in Yellowstone a very long time ago. Likely he was altitude adjusted as the whole park is pretty high and after 3 months living and hiking in the park he would be in good physical condition. There are many peaks in the park that don't...

It is odd to me that initial reports stated they believed she died of natural causes due to age and now it is believed to be very young offenders with an axe. Did they originaaly think it may have been a fall? I hope LE has been exceptionally thorough in their investigation and have really...

They added a photo of her as a teenager to the article, I hope that more people who knew Alexa in life reach out to her sisters

The Velcro style was definitely from the 90s. Sadly at this guy's size and estimated weight I do think the weights and backpack point to self harm rather than hard core exercise. When I have loaded up a pack for training purposes, water is a common choice as you can empty it at any point...

Can't find any further updates but this article indicates that while not identified officially, they believe it could be Maya https://www.insidenova.com/headlines/womans-body-found-in-lake-anna-possibly-boater-who-went-missing-in-may/article_3a559c4a-36a8-11ef-884d-a7b8d7049f74.html

New info in here about her wanting to move to Omaha and that PINs on her money apps were changed in the morning. I'm feeling a little hopeful that this is a 21 year old trying to break away and maybe didn't know the right way to go about it. Fingers crossed she is ok and will find a way to let...

No new info but mentions the charges she was facing https://dailyprogress.com/news/local/authorities-searching-for-missing-lake-anna-boater/article_f42f83e2-13cb-11ef-b5d6-8b8b17683ce1.html

They mention that drone imagery helped locate her. Definitely good to know more searches are learning how to utilize those capabilities! Very glad she will be returned to her family who clearly loved her greatly.

As someone who owns an actual bivvy sack and has used it for its intended purpose of keeping oneself dry when sleeping outdoors, there is no real manufacturer use case for using one as a restraint! The idea of being purposefully trapped in one sounds terrifying and I'm once again saddened that...

Three patients who died while awaiting a donor organ have been named and lawyers involved to force hospital to preserve evidence. This seems to be a necessary move, organizations performing their own internal reviews are likely to treat themselves more favorably. We still don't know if any of...
