Well I don't know what to link, honestly there isn't much on the news that hasn't already been posted, and the last link I provided got deleted:D! I'll try and find one.
I have the link, it was from May 29th from a chat in the family run Find Ben Kilmer FB page, but it was screenshotted and...
totally, but they had a lot of luggage, that would make hitchhiking a pain <modsnip>. I would rather take a bus to Vic than hitchhike with a giant duffel... are the logging roads even accessible though? Most are gated or dug out from the Malahat north, and lots past lake cow.
I've been told by a SAR source that it wasn't a lot of blood. The van wasn't even towed by RCMP until a few days ago, that alone tells me there wasn't a significant amount of blood, otherwise it would have been taken quite quickly.
I mean there's a bus from Ukee/Tofino to Victoria, why wouldn't they take that? Sounds way more reasonable than hauling all that gear, I guess common sense isn't so common?
They didn't go missing from the same area, and according to Dan and Ryans family there is no known connection between Ben and the other two. Dan and Ryan were last seen in Ukee, which is 3+ hours from the area that Bens van was found.
