I cannot imagine..an absolute nightmare!! I feel so bad for Whitney and the family and friends. I hope is found soon.
…. So sad.
Or actually be accountable and jump off a cliff.
That’s such a raw, honest reflection, and I think a lot of people (especially parents)can deeply relate to what you’re saying. The not knowing anything, while imagining the worst, is a particular kind of torment that defies explanation. Wanting answers, no matter how painful, is such a human response to unimaginable loss. I also keep thinking about Whitney and how strong she’s been publicly.
He may need food.
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 days. If he was practicing going off for months at a time and living off grid, that isn't really something the military teaches. It teaches what to do if you find yourself cutoff from your group, if you are separated from help, shot down, captured, etc. I don't recall any training where they go out and live off grid for a month or more. Seems he was doing that on his own maybe due to his mental issues and the increasing troubles he was having.
I can't help but think it was preplanned because it's hard to imagine many people would have a lot of zip ties and plastic bags carried around in their car. But what I found really odd about that fact, is that only 3 zip ties and 3 bags were needed. Why have so many that not only were they on the children, but strewn around the area? That's just strange to me.
I'm not really an expert on the military, but it does seem a lot of skirmishes happen in mountainous regions.
Hmm, I use zip ties for a whole bunch of "paper clip and chewing gum" type uses. Just today I used one to hang up a garden decoration that was missing a hook, and recently used them to affix cut up scat mats to the baby gate like barbed wire so my terrier would stop jumping over the gate so she can pee on the carpeted area downstairs
. What I can think of off the top of my head is: you can't buy them in a small quantity. You HAVE to buy like 300 minimum. I've also been in the position multiple times where I've opened the bag and had them just explode everywhere.
Yes, but that sounds to me like they'd be stored in your garage, or house, but I doubt you're going out to your car when you need a zip tie. He had a bunch with him.Hmm, I use zip ties for a whole bunch of "paper clip and chewing gum" type uses.

I Googled for this only because I remember having a small pack of them, but I'm in the middle of a move so couldn't go look to see the quantity.
I can't imagine trying to open a bag of them when trying to hold a fighting child to put one on. I'd be ready to do what I had planned on doing, with the bag already open. But that's me.
Oh my how sad.Exclusive interview with Travis's brother, Thomas Decker
Brother of killer dad reveals his violent reaction during intervention
The brother of alleged killer dad Travis Decker has put out a desperate plea for his brother to turn himself in after going missing on May 30... and disclosed his escalating behavior these past years.www.dailymail.co.uk
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 unannounced. Sounds like they were close before, so this is very odd to me.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 maybe it was what he had and he just used it vs he went and specifically bought those items to do what he did.
Good point. But if it was me I'd have grabbed exactly what I needed. 3 zip ties and 3 bags and left the rest in the car. No one needs to carry around a large bag of zip ties, and who knows how many plastic bags (enough to be strewn), when the mission is to use 3 each to kill 3 children. It just doesn't make sense to me to be trying to deal with a lot of both, and a possibly unopened bag so that when opened they 'exploded' every which way. Grab only what you need from the truck and leave the rest behind.
Oh yeah my zip ties are in my master bathroom closet in the tool box! The fact they were in his car definitely points to premeditation.
MOO maybe since he was homeless all his stuff was in his truck.
True, but why carry a large bag of zip ties and a whole lot of plastic bags from your truck when you only need 3 of each to do the job?
