Missing from national park trailhead

Local news interview w/ mother

I know her mother. I’m adding this quickly and will come back for more discussion later today.
Her mother mentions that a park maintenance worker’s to-do list was found in her car…

I saw this report initially on the news (I'm originally from Washington State and have a stepbrother that lives in NW WA not far from the park) The car was a rental. From the mother's interview she flew into Port Angeles from St Louis to go "camping". There are no commercial flights into Port Angeles. It's really never had anything more than some unscheduled charter service (which would be extremely expensve for most of us). So she would flown into SeaTac and driven or driven/taken the ferry. Where did she rent the car from and from whom?

I have a feeling she wasn't experienced camping in this kind of environment. Any online research will warn you that the road to the trailhead where the car was found closes pretty regularly due to early snow in November, and it's a VERY wet cold season. The coat she had on in the photo would not offer any real protection, unless she picked up some heavier rain gear to supplement that at WalMart.

If the weather had been forecast to be nice (WA can occassionally see some late arrivals of winter weather), there are some camping spots. Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort Campground, Olympic National Park - Recreation.gov. But a look at the historical NOAA radar shows the park area was seeing scattered snow flurries from the date she was seen shopping onward. Radar Data

As to the maintenance worker checklist - it sounds like that person is not a suspect but it's odd certainly. I've seen unverified reports that her 'equipment was found in the car". Hopefully LE can get a list of what she purchased at WalMart by way of supplies.
