100% this. I typed up something very similar and then deleted it before I posted. I don't want to seem insensitive to those that really do have issues with the VA system because I know there are flaws and much could be improved there. I am married to a soldier, the daughter of a soldier, the...

He was living in his truck though so I'm sure whatever supplies he had in there was where he had to keep them. I am not defending him at all, but if he lived in that truck and various campgrounds, he would have to fit all his belongings in the truck so anything he owned would be in there so...

Oh my how sad. :( I really am curious if he was using some type of drugs to self-medicate in the final years. It sounds like he was fine and then he just was not. When his dad and him tried to go to the house to see if they could help him and talk to him, he was upset they came over...

Not everyone gets this level of training. Our military is ready for any fight no matter where it is so we have to have some trained for survival type situations. We were just fighting a mountain war in Afghanistan. It sounds to me like much of his training might have been after his miliary...

This is true, but I'd like offer a few thoughts. 1. anyone hiking now should know about the manhunt. That area was previously closed and was reopened so I feel most out there would have at least some idea they were looking for someone. 2. So, anyone hiking alone and acting weird could...

I think they waited a while. The update was posted 12+ hours ago about the search area shifting. I think if they spotted him and are fairly sure it was him, then there is a duty to warn also to consider. People might be getting immune to all the searching and talking about this guy and with...

I think the bigger issue here is the courts. While it feels like maybe an AA could have saved them, if his intent was to kill them when he picked them up, I don't see how an AA hours later could prevent it. I also think if an AA is issued every time a parent is late bringing kids back, then...

I believe this also unless some evidence surfaces that he planned to abduct them to head to Canada. He knew what he was going to do, and I think he did it before he was supposed to have them back. He already had his phone off because I read mom's calls to his phone were going straight to VM...

I think saying no confirmed sightings is a way to keep him guessing. If he was spotted on a game camera or other camera that someone might have noticed say the next morning or hours later and then searchers went to the area and maybe found evidence like footprints, disturbed ground, trash of...

I wonder if he showed up on a security camera or tail camera somewhere in that area. I think even if someone said they thought they saw him; it wouldn't generate this type of warning until they could somehow verify it was him. I think the only real way to verify would be from a photo or video...

If he was living in his truck, I would think LE did learn a lot from what was left and what was taken. Did he take a good bit of his clothing with him? Did he take his ID or cash? Did he make an ATM withdrawal recently or did he leave his money he did have in the bank. Was any cash left...

Just thinking about his searching for Canada and jobs. If he was being bullied at his work (and seriously this is sad also. adults bullying other adults at work. Why can't people just do their job and go home.) and owed child support, had a fender bender, no insurance ticket. Curious if the...

He didn't take the tent either, so my guess is he wanted people to think he went off into the woods and harmed himself since he didn't take those items. Maybe he didn't want to carry too much stuff, or it wouldn't all fit in his bag or whatever he left on foot with.

Interesting in this article the military pal says in the days FOLLOWING the murder accusations Decker deleted photos and unfriended people. So, he must have another phone or way to do that, or he killed them immediately and didn't leave the area until sometime later after he deleted things and...

Some thoughts I have after listening to the press conference. If he had planned this out well beforehand and he didn't intend to kill himself, then I wonder if he went ahead to prepare a place for himself to go afterwards? If he's known to go off the grid for up to 2 months at a time, then...
