[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have a photo of the map trail, detailing where the car was and where the bodies were found? I'm having trouble understanding an 8+ mile hike. Was it a clearly defined loop trail that circled back to their car or was it a maze of trails and it's possible they got lost and took a much longer path than they thought, putting them further and further away from their car?[/quote]

I know I read they were only 1.5 miles from their car. Had they completed 6.5 miles before they passed away? Do we know the answer?

On another note, if the mom was leaving to go get help, [b]would she really leave the baby in the carrier with the husband, sitting in the blazing sun? I would think she would have taken the baby with her.[/b][/quote]

New poster.

re: the bold: You're not the first person here to say "but the mom should have taken the baby with her if she was going for help --I would have taken the baby/any mom would never leave her baby behind/ I think she would have taken the baby" etc. etc.

A person who has been in the broiling sun and is possibly in a stage of heat stroke/exhaustion, and is frantic with worry, is not necessarily going to make logical or safe choices and decisions.

Those posting how [u]they[/u] would of course gone all mama bear and taken that baby are posting from their air-conditioned homes, with full benefit of hydration and perfect hindsight. It's just silly for people to post about how they would have, or she should have, taken the baby rather than leaving her with the father. We cannot know what we might do or not do with our brains fried by intense heat at a minimum, and possibly with the effects of inhalation or ingestion of something toxic like gases in the area.
