Found Deceased Wa - Cornelius "casey" Zippro, 31, Colonial Creek Campground, Rockport, 16 June 2018

Then how did the images post to instagram?

 

He could have ran into town and posted while they were there. It’ll still tag his location because it’s entered in manually. Assuming his friend he was with had a car.

 

Question for those of you familiar with Instagram (I still have a flip phone). Do you have to have a cell signal to take video and post? If so, Casey would have had to have left the park to do so and his Mom said it was a fair drive away to get a signal.

 

You would not have to have a signal to take a photo or video, that saves to your phone until deleted. You would however have to have signal to upload the content to your Instagram. There is also a live video feed feature on IG, that’s required a strong signal. I hope that helps..

 

I find it a bit strange that there is not more about Casey in the media. Only because he's not a child or a woman maybe? Must be so frustrating for his family.

 

One of the photos was identified as the trailhead at Sourdough Mountain. That is a grueling climb in VERY steep terrain. His Mom has returned home according to social media. Heartbreaking.

 

I just hope that the authorities keep an open mind about his disappearance and that they talked to the "friend" he went camping with very thoroughly.

 

Thanks for sharing this, of course that would explain alot, his buddy's behaviour, the lack of media coverage, but even if true, IMO he would be an endangered missing person with a suicide risk maybe.

 

According to his mother there has not been any Cell phone or bank activity since before he got missing. And he has been dealing with depressions. I really hope he just took some "time -out".

ETA no bank activity since june 15th

 

Facebook group for Casey with family members and friends. This is one of the best missing person's Facebook groups I've ever been in with regards to information and next level sleuthing. Bring Casey Zippro Home!!

 

Ditto

 

Casey's IG : Casey Zippro (@pnwcasey) • Instagram photos and videos

The most recent post was uploaded to IG the day before Casey was reported missing. It is a video that is clearly (to me) edited and supposedly shows the friend and the black Jeep they travelled in.

 

It's now been 10 days since he was last seen, and the North Cascades search continues

This article posted today says he and the friend got into an argument, and the friend went out for a solo hike. First I've heard mention of an argument.

 

They are doing a great job with the FB page. Trying to keep the focus on getting the word out that Casey is still missing. Trying to discourage people from hounding the "friend" and let Forest Service and LE do their jobs.

 

Bumping for Casey
I agree with you, Casey's FB group is very decent and determined to get his story out to the people and news stations. Searches are still going on...

 

Bump. weird case, he was an experienced hiker, I don't think he would have left his backpack behind. Sending love and strength to his family.
