I think she's in the desert and there's no point in putting up "wanted" posters. If anyone finds a body in the desert, they're calling the police.
I also don't think there is any point in saying "this is what I'd do" because this isn't happening to you. I know way too many people who have said (for instance) that they'd be able to be 100% full-time caretakers if a family member got sick, only to find that caretaker burnout is real.
The urgency would have been months ago.
But it's odd... he gives interviews to a local TV network, and even appears on a national TV show. He has, as far as we know, fully cooperated with law enforcement, including (according to him) taking a lie detector test, which no lawyer would advise and is unreliable (if I were a police officer, there is no way I would exclude someone just because they passed a polygraph.)
We also don't know what else he's done. We hear stories about the families of the missing who are unable to get news attention, even in a 24 hour news cycle. Is RT trying that, and nobody wants to cover it because, well, look at all the new missing person cases. Look at the Destiny Rose case, it took a month from the time she went missing until a thread started here about her case.
And it's all too easy to fall into despair and depression. I've lost too many people over the past few years and it's hard to even get up in the morning sometimes.
But yet you are opining that he is desperate that he is too over come to function.
If you can project views on the case what is wrong with others doing so?
BT is not known dead she is missing.
Most families say they experience a delay of grief. Its limbo so what your experience is not what is going on here either although any contribution on a discussion board is welcome, imo.
RE Posters:
What if someone found her hat, or cup?
If there were posters they might realize the significance of the find.
A location of an item may lead to BT’s location and bring answers as to her fate if he is concerned of her fate.
RT is a long time successful sales man who keeps his person and his vehicles in shape.
He is not semi-literate, he is not weak willed or without resources. This is not some little shrinking violet with nowhere to turn or get help.
He has the capability to hire someone to show concern and keep looking if he can’t manage if he has suffered some sort of decline of his recently still held abilities.
all imo
