Great post! If it wasn't for her nephew on here, db our VI, we wouldn't know anything about the two of them personally. As well as her brother's input through the nephew db. That's really it.
PSA - Lots of new backpacks have whistles formed into the sternum strap. Check it out if you have a backpack that is less than ~5 years old. And 3 sharp whistles in a row is a sign of distress.
Here's what I don't understand- RT said he stopped to take a couple of pictures. So, let's just say, that's anywhere between 2-10 minutes- I mean, how many photos can you snap of the same thing? He said he saw her round the corner, and when he got there, she was gone.
It's been bothering me as well. Sometimes when telling a fictional story, a bit of the truth slips in. I'm not saying that happened in this case though because the husband is still considered a victim here.
It would be a cunning ruse. On day hikes that don’t require two packs, it’s not unusual for one partner to do the carrying (often the male) or even to share the weight by both carrying at some point. I see it all the time on trails, and do the same.
Right. I mean, it's one thing if say, he found her travel mug and hat on the ground, and say skid marks made from her hiking boots to show she was dragged, possibly being forced into a vehicle- then I would totally agree with the abduction theory. At that point, I would hope LE would have an APB out for her, had she been kidnapped.
Thank you. I just spent the last hour trying to find who I thought was a relative. I read this thread earlier in the afternoon, and got the same impression, but it looks like something changed under their profile pic- there's no longer links under their photo? I wanted to ask the same question, but had to go offline for a few hours and never got the chance.
That is awesome- I need to get one of those for myself and my daughters. Thanks for letting us know such back packs exist.
Agree. I've read over and over, suspects mix the truth with lies, so it's a matter of sifting and sorting the relevance of his statements to her disappearance, which can send LE on a wild goose chase.
OT: When my children were young, we did a great deal of RV camping. I always made sure each of my children had a loud whistle with them. It only takes a second for a child to become separated from a group and become lost. They were instructed to stay put and blow the whistle. It's such a simple thing, but it gave me some piece of mind. I guess it's a good idea for adults too!
Yes, and we have whistles and such in ours when hiking, with many other supplies- I've even packed freeze dried foods, if it's going to be a long or unfamiliar hike. I just love that the whistles are already in there, ready to be used. It's so important to be prepared, especially in unfamiliar areas or deep into the woods.
Yes, and I have one on my key chain and love knowing it's there if needed. Along with a couple of other safety goodies, just in case.
