Alright then, two parts to tomorrow’s long-awaited news conference.
“Cause of death” should be rather anticlimactic, IMO. Fascinated with outdoor misadventure, I view this tragedy through that bias.
Following closely on the heels of JKreycik, very disconcerting that recreational enthusiasts are melting in our communal backyards.
Though a forgone conclusion in my mind, a determination of ‘heat stroke’ based on the exclusion of all else will leave many seeking more clarity.
“Final investigative detail” is what intrigues me but I’ve long been resigned to not learning much. And it does say ‘final’.
Certainly the public has a right to know of any threat. Barring that, however, the narrative of a misadventure, without witnesses or survivors, will be told by the grieving families.
The most consistent message LE has conveyed the past seven weeks—in the absence of revealing any meaningful investigative detail and leading us into circular speculation—is that they are working closely with the bereaved families.
Faced with unimaginable sorrow, it is too twisted for me to try to comprehend if an alternate explanation would be more comforting.
But what about the search warrants of the phone for photos, gps tracking, failed messages, or an inventory of gear and any minutiae of detail that could help us understand the possible triggers and cascading of debilitating events we’ve all discussed leading to this tragedy? Maybe it will be none of our business.
