What I am still curious about is how Karen came to be at the site where she was eventually found. Many threads back I recall a Park ranger or something mentioning how the Merc would not have been able to go all the way to the site where Karen was found due to muddy tracks and the time of year. Then there’s the factor of dead weight (I hate using that term in this instance as it’s so depersonalised but just for science sake)
“If you are unconscious, however, that idea of dead weight comes into play. Your limbs will likely be limp and swinging to and fro without any effort to stop them, and your head will be rolling from side to side. You will be much more likely to slip out of someone’s grasp when your body fails to react to bumps, jolts, and even simple steps taken by your carrier. The center of mass becomes a dynamic element of the person’s body, and ceases to be held directly in the hands. Some of that mass shifts to below the body, where the swinging limbs are, making it much harder to control. Furthermore, all the responsibility lands squarely on the carrier’s arms and back.”

Now, from the photos I’ve seen of Borce, he’s not a man of huge stature. If he did do what we are all thinking, how on earth did he do this alone? I know adrenaline can help with these things, but it certainly makes me think. Especially once the neck injury was discussed last week.
Just a thought I’ve been pondering.
