Good question... but, no I did not happen to see if I had service or not at that exact location. However, this would probably be irrelevant, given that different providers have different coverage areas, especially in rural areas (my own home has excellent coverage from TWO major providers, and...

The question was posted on #2, by Whiteorchids: "Could he have fallen into the lake from the dam?" Not likely. The dam is sloped on both sides, from the roadway across the top of the dam. There are not vertical, or near vertical surfaces... perhaps 30 degrees from horizontal on both sides of...

In my opinion: He drove forward through the gap in the guardrail (it would actually be difficult and awkward to back through the gap), and tried to drive AROUND the backside of the cell tower enclosure. This was where/ when he became stuck, as the dirt on the "backside" is very soft, and the...

Possibly... however, at that time of day, and given the remoteness of the area, a passing vehicle would be extremely rare. If some body were actively searching for a vehicle (say, if one was being followed, and trying to hide), if one turned off the headlights, they would be utterly invisible/...

That is PRECISELY what appears to have happened.

Yesterday, when I entered, I simply said that I was performing a search for Bryce, and the gate attendant told me that the $11 fee was waived... no charge. Unless that changed today, the lake is not charging searchers.

The dam is about 3/4 mile across at its top... and there is a roadway across it. It is gated, with signs indicating that only authorized vehicles may drive on it... but pedestrian access is extremely easy. Nothing prevents pedestrian access, as the gates are simple metal bars, 36" off the...

I have wondered the same... no idea if its critical information, but if any LE/ investigator would like to PM me, I will be happy to turn over the lighter. The UPC/ bar code is on the lighter... if it scans at $1.71, we would have a pretty good idea of what that $1.71 purchase was... And, damn...

Lake Hughes Road passes the WEST side of the cell tower: the location of the "stuck vehicle" ruts are on the EAST side of the cell tower, approximately 25 feet east of the cell tower fence. From there, it is approximately 50 feet to the "cliff edge" where the vehicle rolled (or was driven)...

Absolutely correct, Ghost: Lake Hughes road is four lanes at that point. A person driving NORTH on Lake Hughes Road would pass by the boat launch road (on the left, then, about another 200 yards further, also on the left, there is a small (20 foot) gap in the guardrail. If one were to drive a...

You are quite welcome, SS! Somewhat difficult to portray the entire landscape of the area without photos... indeed, 50 feet is a long way to travel, especially in reverse... which is among my reasons for thinking that he (or somebody) either ALLOWED it to roll away, unoccupied, or it...

In summary (regarding my previous findings and posts), I feel that it is extremely likely that he was NOT in the vehicle when it crashed, he is not injured, and he (or his body) is not in the vicinity. (And, in the spirit of random, but unquantifiable theories, I will throw out my speculation...

Indeed... however, I must clarify. The ground cover directly above the crash landing zone consists of dry, semi- dead/ dead scrub brush of a very sturdy nature. In other words, the thick ground cover (approx. 8" to 16" above soil level) does not necessarily break twigs or press down when stepped...

In addition to surveying the accident site yesterday, I also spent three hours "following" a flock of buzzards around the area. My partner and I observed the birds circling for the full three hours, at various locations around the dam area. At no time did the birds "drop," having found...

(continued...) If Bryce were stuck in the dirt, after trying unsuccessfully to pull forward out of the dirt area, he may have simply grown frustrated, and tried rolling in reverse to get out. A person unfamiliar with that area would have NO idea that going in that direction would lead to the...
