Thank you Mod! I didn't know which State to post it under - AZ or CA!

I hope Shane's family and local LE and SAR are doing their due diligence to find Shane.
Where are you Shane.

It’s important to know if his car at the rest stop indicates any mechanical problem which might explain why he stopped there. Unless car problems or a quick nap or bio break, the alternatives at a rest stop are generally shady.

Amateur opinion and speculation

Most recent article with some updates about Shane's mental state I edited to add "Dad" instead of his name):

“Shane had both his grandmothers pass away, his mom almost died etc

Dad said. “Shane had been depressed, and he never handled that kind of grief.”

Dad said his son recently had what he described as a nervous breakdown. He was found disoriented in Indio, Calif., more than 100 miles from home, by law enforcement.

Was hospitalized for psychiatric treatment.

Shane had purchased a new refrigerator about one week before he disappeared.

“Things were starting to smooth out for him,” Dad said. “The day he left, we were over at the house he lives in, and he said he wanted to take a nap. But by 6 p.m., he and his car we gone.”

Dad said his son was prescribed a medicine for his psychiatric issues. However, he hadn’t taken that medicine for about one month leading up to his disappearance.

Shane Rollman didn’t take a suitcase with him to Arizona, his father said. He also didn’t pack up any personal effects.

This does not look good at all. Prayers going up for Shane & his family/friends

Wow another missing young man in an area I’m very familiar with as I grew up in AZ. It’s very hot in Camp Verde on September, 92 there right now. This is not a place that even most seasoned campers and hikers would go during this time of year. The fact that he has no previous outdoors experience makes me very worried!

It'd be interesting to know the street value/demand of the meds he had been prescribed. Are those meds at home? Could he have been lured out of his home then targeted/harmed in order to get those meds? I'm also curious what type or what was the purpose of the visit he had with his dad/others. Was this a typical family/friend gathering, a quick 'hey, we stopped by for a few mins/drinks/etc.' or a more intentional 'we need to talk' kind of visit? What was his immediate mindset prior to his nap? I've got Shane in my prayers. I hope they can find him soon.

This is definitely not the place for inexperienced people to try out camping or hiking for the first time! There have been numerous rescues lately (entire groups hiking without water & so on). I wish people would research the area/temps/terrain before attempting to hike here.

I have been trying to find out if Shane was familiar with the area.

There is a beautiful place known to locals as "The Crack" which is close to where his car was found (about 15 miles from the rest area or so), that seems to draw in individuals who are, introspectively searching, I guess you could say. I am wondering if Shane was drawn here for that reason...not that I am suggesting he committed suicide at all but, well, the circumstances are pointing in that direction so far (my ex BiL went there to commit suicide but was unsuccessful thank goodness).

I hope they find him soon!

@MissMYB OT: Did you live in the Verde Valley? How well do you know this area? That's where we have lived for the last several decades (DH & I are both AZ natives).

In a way, this sort of reminds me of the missing Erika Lloyd case in Joshua Tree. Supposedly went to meet friends that no one knows, to go camping. SHe's not a seasoned camper and it's hotter than hades there. Seems to be a theme developing here.

2020 is not bringing out smart thinking in folks, that is for sure.

I grew up in Phoenix, my sister lives in Prescott Valley and we had a vacation home in Munds Park. Currently nomading around the SW, I am not very familiar with the VV however. Kinda an”drive thru” area for me, but looking around that area on the map there’s lot to explore.

According to his LinkedIn profile, he went to ASU, so maybe he was going to a familiar and less complicated place and time. However, not taking psych meds for a month worries me.

Hmmmm, still odd as his family states he has no experience outdoors.

I was just going to post this very thing and add it seems maybe the death of his Grandmother hit him hard earlier this year?
