Ironically it was the burning vehicle that brought immediate attention to their disappearance. If they were looking to buy time they could’ve driven to a private campground, paid a few days fee and nobody would’ve been the wiser they were long gone until camping fee was due. Or just parked in the bush and until somebody noticed and reported it abandoned, it would’ve went unnoticed.
That’s one of the puzzling aspects to this case, the burning of vehicles, not once but twice.
There’s something very unusual about this photo of the burned truck which doesn’t make any sense. Notice the vegetation and trees including the green weeds right behind the truck box which the camper was sitting atop of...that reportedly melted due to the high intensity heat? JMO but the site of the burning truck and camper wasn’t exactly there, it was towed out of the deeper bush.
