No trace of a scent at either campsite, I assume.
Now, if I were a survivalist and I was going to sleep outside, I'd lay down some type of waterproof plastic to put on the ground because in the morning those pillows, blankets and my clothing would be wet from the dew. (was this even done?) And why wouldn't I even have a sleeping bag, a must-have item for camping? I wonder if authorities took all those items that were found, plus a similar amount of other items that the father said James took (but were not at either campsite or in the van), and tried stuffing them into similar-sized duffel bags and a similar-sized backpack to the ones that James took just to see if all those items would even fit into two duffel bags and a backpack? Were the duffel bags found at either campsite or in the van?
I also wonder if that van had a remote start because it appeared it was already running (the lights were on) as James was walking toward it. We also have no way of knowing whether someone else was already in the van.
James had no trouble "processing" by slipping out of the house in the early morning without detection right under the nose of his father and siblings (I have Blink security cameras, any kind of motion an alarm goes off on my cell phone along with a video), drives a van 16 miles to the Dells, goes to his father's business (twice), accesses his father's locked safe and takes a gun (Maybe. His father has no clue exactly when the gun was taken or how James was even able to access the locked safe), drives another 21 miles, sets up two campsites, eludes discovery by numerous searchers and search dogs and then disappears without a trace.
What an elaborate planned out scheme just to commit suicide. Not bad for a 13 year old with "processing" issues.
A blurry photo of some black garbage bags is their depiction of a campsite?
In video 27 News is sharing with the public for the very first time, 13-year-old James Yoblonski is seen, alone, leaving his family's Reedsburg home roughly seven months ago.
