[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well here’s my theory:

-it was FA
-they started the hike not on the softer/easy part of the trail and looping back to the switchbacks. I think they started at the top with the switchbacks and hiked down a bit into them
-they intentionally orchestrated it to seem like it was heat stroke
-they didn’t want their families or nanny to have to be the ones to find them
-law enforcement knows it was something along these lines
-they closed the trails to avoid looky loos going into the canyon and needing rescue now that there’s been so much media coverage of the case

To answer PPs who think it’s rotten to even speculate about this. I mean, is it really? It’s not like I’m creating a billboard with this theory or going to the media as one of their relatives and spouting this. I’m on a DC based message board, speculating about what happened. If you really think this truly is hurtful or rotten, I’ll refrain from floating this theory again or commenting.

I think part of why we find this case so fascinating and want to figure it out is a lot of us are parents with young kids. We want to believe that things like this don’t just randomly happen. It’s too painful to think we are all just one or two wrong moves away from everyone we love dying. It’s much easier to think it was something that could NEVER happen to us.

I certainly don't agree with you re why I'm interested. My family likes to hike and have wanted to take a trip to the Grand Canyon. I was standing in a long line in a store and the woman behind me and I started chatting. She was giving me advice about places to visit in the summer in Canada. I had my young kids with me and told her we planned to visit the Grand Canyon in a year. She knew a lot about it and let me know it was a horrible idea with such young, rambunctious kids. She was right. We were ready to visit without a lot of planning. It was very sobering and I went home and spent more time learning about visiting there. I'm very interested in survival experiences in the wild.[/quote]
