Wow, interesting and new information provided by Trenny's mom. I just started following Nick Kyle recently on his site, and I find him to be a very detailed and thorough researcher. Sometimes he goes to the places he is talking about re. missing persons also. I wonder if the guy who was walking with Trenny at the field trip is still alive. And yes, it is shocking to hear what her mother has to say.

P.S. I watched the last bit of the video and the guy walking with Trenny is deceased.

The Trenny Gibson Disappearance May Have Just Been Solved: New Evidence.​

On Nick Kyle's latest 'The Missing Enigma' podcast, he speaks one-on-one with Trenny Gibson's mother, Hope (Gibson) Vaughn. From her firsthand interview, the actual never heard before facts on her daughter's case are shockingly revealed while longtime falsehoods and rumors are put to rest.

One thing about this case, I believe a dogs nose over EVERYTHING that has been said. If Trenny had continued off the trail and the dogs had lost her scent in the wilderness I would say she got lost but the dogs tracked her to the road.
When I look at a map and I look at the timeline one thing becomes apparent to me. When RS was headed back up, towards the end of the trail, whether he was unaware OR aware of it, Trenny was right on his heels. I don't see anyway around it.

I've always believed that Trenny planned to run away that day in the park and I always wondered if RS was involved, could he have been running reconnaissance for her? So now I could use this potential new evidence of the coat and some guy being there that wasn't on the trip to fit right into that theory, but I won't because I don't know if this is the same coat and people inject themselves into cases all the time, usually for attention. I will say that I think it is absolutley absurd to suggest that the timeline allows for what the people in this podcast are theorizing and it's even more absurd to suggest that RS skirted along the trail across difficult and sometimes treacherous terrain to somehow get in front of Trenny. There's so much wrong with this podcast that I don't even have time to cover it all. I still believe Trenny either ran away or got lost but all of this is just my opinion and of course everyone else is free to believe what they want.

I do not believe Tranny ran away. I do think the scenario talked about in that video and agreed with by Trenny' s mom is valid. There was only one coat IMO as why have, let alone take two identical coats, absurd. That is significant plus the comb and other things mentioned. Or she got lost possibly. JMO.
