    I don’t know the specifics, but if he was there to mountain bike, then there would have been a trail, and they had been using ATVs to do the search. So unless he went way out of his way to leave the trail for whatever reason, then it’s still a very sketchy story.

    It could still be true, but I think it’s super, super suspicious.

    Consider the fact that he ended up getting back to his car (undetected, despite the vehicle being located before the search), which would imply he either knew how to get back, or he had a GPS device on him, then the whole idea about getting lost for nearly a week just seems way, way, way far-fetched.

    In addition to ATVs, they also had motorbikes on the trail, k9 units, drones, a helicopter, and the goddamn military too. I mean, it’s as if he didn’t want to be found. 😂
