    You’ve really done an impressively great job analyzing this and coming up with a possibility overlooked by the police! I’m curious though, what do you think the smell means specifically? Do you know if the whole building was renovated or just part of it? Was it stirred up by the renovation...

    Yeah, it really is. The weird pattern on the window is very odd. Buuut...I just can’t be sure what I’m looking at. Bumble Bee Road, where they were found, looks to be pretty close to a very tiny town of a handful of buildings way out in the middle of nowhere. Seems like someone would’ve heard...

    Is this a basket or some sort of metal grid? I’ve marked a yellow arrow pointing to it. I also notice a crescent shape below, which could be an artifact (marked with a red arrow). Looking again, it reminds me of a metal magazine holder or some sort of organizational object.

    Interesting...I thought I was losing it. I had the vague notion of seeing something else-a grid like pattern at the bottom of the photo, but couldn’t find it when I went back to inspect the photo more closely. On another search, I found the original photo, which hadn’t been cropped yet— and...

    Ok, taking a look at the last photo on the disposable camera, which I think you uploaded (could be my user error that I can’t see it!) Anyway, a few things stand out to me. I circled “what are they?” spots in yellow. One looks to be some plant matter, a vine creeping into the structure? Or maybe...

    I’m having trouble uploading the photo. Any thoughts on the last one with the light fixture?

    Another article—someone with a motive? Argument may have preceded couple's death From the article: “Susan Quayle, a spokeswoman for the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office, said investigators are seeking information from the public about the man, described as tall, "husky," white, possibly 40...

    I’m not a numbers person sadly, but this page absolutely floors me. It’s kind of incredible and bizarre all at once, to my untrained eye. *edit for grammar*

    I don’t mean to pester, but do you have any more pages you’d be willing to share with us? I showed it to a programming friend and he’s very enthusiastically digging into it. Cheers, and thank you for sharing what you did!

    Yeah, I agree. I don’t blame those who came later...and I feel bad for the investigators dealing with it now. Can’t be fun to have come so tantalizingly close (bloody earring lost, cleaned/sanitized dorm rooms etc) and have any hard evidence evaporate. I’m intrigued by the confiscation of the...

    Thanks for that information! I’ve really been wondering about POI family. I agree, and I guess sometimes mistakes can take on the appearance of something more sinister, when in fact it was likely just lack of experience at work.

    This all is very logical and most likely what happened! That’s a good point about Cal Poly not taking it seriously: “she’ll come back, probably out having a good time...” and also about jurisdiction coming into play. And maybe most importantly, the evidence being circumstantial. It’s kind of a...

    Yeah, you would think so! I guess it wouldn’t be the first time that some evidence was lost or misplaced, I also read that the people who found the earring saw police take a picture of it and the picture was lost as well! Not sure if that’s actually true, but if it is...geez.

    Yeah, I have to listen to that! That does make sense.

    Ok, so, I’m kind of new to this particular case and I’ve skimmed through the thread (so I may have missed something) but one thing I keep wondering is why police or university officials been so hands-off and even destructive of evidence in this case (ie. the university cleaning the prime...

    I feel like I’ve seen them all and he’s *always* wearing something on his head!

    That’s interesting! Forgive me if I’m re-treading older posts, but I still marvel at how the trail angel recognized MH from the police reconstruction photo.

    Identified! FL - Big Cypress Natl Preserve, Male Hiker, Denim & “Mostly Harmless” July 2018 - Vance Rodriguez #2

    yes, I completely agree, and I don’t think it’s him. I was actually more wondering about the possibility of being related, although, that’s an extremely slim chance.

    yeah, I’m unconvinced he purposefully starved himself to death as well. The article mentions parts of the trail being flooded and very difficult to traverse for the men who found him. It does make you wonder if he was too weak to make it back through trails that were already almost too...
