@cazador You mentioned speaking with a detective; were they able to give you any additional ideas for your drone search? Were they able to share whether they were allowed access to RT’s home, RV, computers, phone, gps data? I understand RT reported to dbdb11 they went through everything, but...

BBM @Leney thank you for your response. BBM...Very good point. And thank you for inspiring a couple of more thoughts on my part regarding the NIXLE- reported 20 miles north location. I do understand that RT has no control over the NIXLE reports and, I understood from dbdb11’s sister’s text...

Regarding the 911 call and initial reports they were 20 miles north of I-40 instead of about 6 miles north at the intersection of Kelbaker and HH Rds. Just thought of this, and I know cell phones can be difficult to locate at times for 911 dispatch centers. However, RT knew he was not 20 miles...

Just caught up from being out of town @HongKongPhooey husband and I have hiked many deserts; most would be hard to be lost in...one glaring exception is Joshua Tree NP (when we are on an out and back hike there, we repeatedly turn around to look behind us for landmarks to spot on our return)...

<modsnip> @Micheline The Mohave Desert spans a large area of varying altitudes and temperatures. IMO: right there right now is the weather station at Sweeney Granite Mountains Research Center in the Mojave National Preserve High temp yesterday: 76.6 Take a look Sweeney Granite Mountains...

BBM Agreed, she was out there at some point... Good points @LAhiker Yes! Let’s keep thinking and discussing...I believe it’s important and “Anything to find Barbara” ...keeping the ideas going; let’s not stifle the discussions ETA: Agreed, she was out there at some point... Good points...

From media thread: Snipped by me @al66pine thank you for your post. Respectfully (and, IMO) Kelso temperatures do not reflect temperatures at HH & Kelbaker roads. IMO, sroad provided a more accurate weather info tool. See above post from media thread for his reasoning and see below for weather...

Thank you for that @MsBetsy Your post jogged my memory of this post you remembered from dbdb11: “Thank you, I “never could” get an answer from Matt as to how they were communicating.” just spent awhile looking through our VI’s posts; I could not find it. Perhaps it was one that was deleted...

Snipped by me for focus “He” refers to Matt S in this post (I’m pretty sure) @MsBetsy I guess I missed this? I’m wondering if you could please provide a link that Matt is refusing to divulge the way he communicated with his mom? Is it that he refused; or is it that we just do not know? ETA...

@slowpoke Here is a link to the Lafayette, Indiana news interview: Lafayette man's mother still missing after hiking in the Mojave Desert with husband ETA: Matt does not mention how they communicated in this interview, but Chelsea Curtis from AZCentral quoted Matt in her written article: "My...

At least one can hope that's not the case. They may not MAKE facts, but they may ignore facts that do not fit their theory, focusing only on those that do fit...it's called Confirmation Bias and anyone doing research, working in law enforcement, or judging a case must be constantly checking...

IMO; Hard to know whether the truck has an extra gas tank, like this: RDS Aluminum Transfer Fuel Tank Toolbox Combo — 60 Gallon, Rectangular, Diamond Plate, Model# 71787 | Northern Tool + Equipment I was competing on a horse show circuit for several years, many years ago (late teens to early...

Respectfully snipped by me for focus on a looming question in these threads (MOO) I believe clarification of this question might help to find Barbara. @dbdb11 Would it be possible for you to clarify or have you already clarified whether your sister and your father believe they accurately...

Perhaps you could contact SWARM and become a member? From their website, it looks like they reach out to private drone flyers. They have a “register to help” link on their website: https://sardrones.org/ ETA: Maybe they have an already paved system making it easier for individuals to obtain...

WEATHER Added complete link to WEATHER bc just tested the link above; here is the correct link where you can add the date for weather stats on the day you are looking for: Sweeney Granite Mountains California

Thank you @al66pine ! :) Glad I could help, I had forgotten about the other article link in that post published in Outside magazine and how it seemed to me their theories included every single one we’ve visited here. Very interesting article about a young man who vanished without a trace wearing...

Is this the document @al66pine ? See following post with link to a very long document. Also, @PaulR recommended a very good SAR book CA - CA - Barbara Thomas, 69, from Bullhead City AZ, disappeared in Mojave desert, 12 July 2019 #5 ETA: link from post...

@sroad ’s valuable post with IMO the closest and most accurate weather information WEATHER link included in this post from Sweeney Granite Mountains Reseach Center that you can open and enter the date to get results for time and location of Barbara’s reported disappearance CA - CA - Barbara...

Thank you PommyMommy Yes, but respectfully, those are very different from sroads’ link to the Sweeney Granite Mountains temps. IMO, due to the elevation differences, and the weather link provided by sroad at the closer location with more similar elevation the Thomas’ reported location was 10...

BBM 20 degrees hotter than at Sweeney Granite Mountains Research Center; very near to where the Thomas’ reportedly were hiking
