I agree. As an outdoorsy woman and similar to Maddy myself, (I did so much camping in my early 20s and was very proud of my vehicle too) I understand why she didn't leave. It's so much work to take a tent down, she probably just figured she would sleep and be fine as she ALWAYS had been before. It's awful everyone left her but I completely agree with your theory. Someone knew she was alone and she ended up on that farm.
She didn't overdose in her tent. No one would have kept that secret for 12 years. Especially with the media attention and posters EVERYWHERE. I really think she thought she would be okay sleeping alone there for a couple hours.
Could be. Speaking of media attention, I came across this in the archives. Hints at why a person or people may have been keeping some sort of secret for all this time. Not making any predictions regarding any specific theory. Will be interesting to see what the investigation uncovers.

Today is the 5th anniversary of Madison Scott’s disappearance (from My Prince George News)

It’s been 5 years to the day since Madison Scott disappeared while camping with friends at Hogsback Lake near Vanderhoof.
“The investigation is still active and, in the words of Constable Tom Wamsteeker,
there’s somebody out there who knows something and they’re just not telling us,” says North District RCMP Corporal Dave Tyreman. “Whether they can’t tell us, won’t tell us. Whether they do it anonymously, whether it’s a letter to the parents or whether they call Crimestoppers –
somebody or some people know exactly what happened to Maddy.”
He says the Major Crimes unit is still pursuing information related to Maddy’s disappearance.
“In speaking with Major crimes unit, they believe this to be highly suspicious in nature and that’s why they’re involved. It’s not just somebody who wandered off. It would be nice to find some kind of information that we can further our investigation into where exactly is Madison Scott.”
Tyreman says as time passes, circumstances can change.
“Sometimes it’s a disadvantage, sometimes it can be an advantage.
Maybe there’s somebody who knows something and, as years go on, they have a change in lifestyle, they’re not hanging around with the same people. Maybe they’re not at threat by somebody else in providing that information so they may come forward.”
Tyreman says anyone with information is encouraged to come forward. Tips can be made anonymously to Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
