Thanks for looking all this up!!!

I truly believe someone is helping them, especially since they were see locally. MOO
That, or he planned this out well in advance and has a camo hideout to match their camo clothing. MOO

Well, if they are off the grid I hope they have warm clothing. A cold, rainy front moving in, not to mention hunting season has started. Nov. 2nd starts Muzzleloader - black powder like our earlier settlers. We all know folks will be flocking to the woods.

Hope they will come home soon. Everyday they are in more danger, especially if in the woods.
MOO

If you look at his Instagram (not the private one, the other one) he posted a pic of lumber & captioned it something like fall project (back in 2018). MOO

All jokes a side. I hope they have not gone "to ground", off the grid. Many have lived off grid in the mountains for years.

IH is an A student, who is not well versed in the ways of the world. OTG living is a hard way off life, especially if you are on the run in winter. You just can't hide a fire and we are all VERY fire conscious. We've just lifted the burn bans in most area.

Was the A M L O G note recently added? I’ve never seen that acronym.
Is it a cryptic message?

All I can come up with is:
Am Moving Life Off Grid

A Man Living Off Grid?

If he already knocked on someone's door for help 2 days ago, he's not any good at living off grid, IMO.

JMHO, but most 14-year-old girls would not be happy living off grid for long.

Wow I think my heart just stopped a minute twice. Once for each of those acronyms. Ugh poor Isabel.

I wonder if he has profiles on any survivalist or off grid forums. Either he has some survivalist skills and planned this or someone is helping them. MOO.

I wonder if during the first day or two, this seemed like an 'adventure' to Isabel. But I'm concerned that after sleeping in the cold for several nights, and not being in her home, that she may start complaining.

So where could he put her, where she could be found, but leave no trace to his whereabouts? Tricky...

I agree. But we don't really know why he knocked on that person's door. He may be comfortable in the woods with few luxuries but I doubt that IH is used to that lifestyle. I'm guessing she has been miserable. Maybe he was hoping they could visit that person's house, get a hot meal and a shower and then disappear back into the woods to wherever the car/their hideout is located? If they were living off grid for a week and did not know about the Amber Alert then perhaps they thought the person they approached would not know they were missing at all and would agree to help them? MOO.

I want to know WHY he took the chance & knocked on someone’s door? What did he want??

Ya, what in the world?? He must have fantasized about this :( How scary for Isabel!!

“Local and federal investigators held a briefing in Montpelier on Wednesday to provide an update on the search effort. They said more than 200 authorities had joined in the search efforts to bring Hicks home.”

He can take her to any of her family member's homes, a hospital, a grocery store, a fire station, a police station, a gas station, anywhere public where she can tell an adult who she is and ask them to call 911. I really don't care where he leaves her as long as he leaves her unharmed and somewhere where she can get help right away. I'm not even concerned with him being arrested at this point (although he should be). They will track him down eventually. But the longer he has her the more this has the potential to escalate. Please Bruce, if you are following along here just let Isabel go back home safe and alive. You can slink off to where ever you want to run and try to live your off grid life after you let her go. Please don't make her suffer with you through this any more. Don't harm her. Let her go!

MOO.

I need to watch today’s PC again. Something was said that made my ears perk up. Something like if there is more to the story or something to that affect. Anyone know what was said exactly?
MOO
