1 - Last seen in his son's truck near the "Anvil Lake Fire Tower" as per VC News Review 10/14/2025 (Yes, 2025)
2 - Location where 3x Bloodhound searches led to as per VC News Review
3/4 - ".45 miles north of Kentuck Lake Road" leaves some room for error - could they mean spot 3 just north of lower Kentuck Lake rd known as Tuttle Road - or do they mean the very far northernmost portion of Kentuck Lake Road where it ends (which would put the truck location closer to Cnty Hwy A)
It's nearly 5 miles from spot 1 to spot 4 and nearly 4 miles from spot 1 to spot 2 (as the crow flies - actual distances are greater with the curvy road)
This is all just dense national forest - would have been even worse fifty years ago. Location 1 is also the entrance to "Old Firetower Road" - this would have been there in the mid-seventies as the fire tower wasn't moved until later (albeit, probably named Fire Tower Road at the time)...
I believe that location 1 is the accurate last location he was seen in the truck. Assuming Imogen Lake Road was called Kentuck Lake Road at one point in time, that matches.
Today was my first time hearing about this case that is so close to home! I spend TONS of time out in these woods (Northern Lights, hiking, camping) and would have been more vigilant about my surroundings while out there had I known about it! I will see if anyone from the VC Sheriff's department is willing to share the exact location the truck was parked - and start doing some more hiking around the area!
