[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]80% chance he walks. It sounds like he has a bit of money to be able to afford an attorney. He likely already destroyed and disposed of his and her phones a long time ago, so cops wont have that evidence to use. He will claim that she decided to break up with him during the trip and she decided to hitchhike. The van was owned by him, IIRC.

The van will have her DNA all over it, but likely nothing that indicates a crime. He most likely killed her outside the van.

The police will retrace his route by looking at his transactions (he probably didn't pay for gas in cash on a cross country drive) and the mobile phone tower pings. Whenever he shut off the phones, that's likely when she died.

Completely disagree. Not with the insane amount of location and other data available these days. They don’t need her physical phone for that.

And let’s be real. If he just showed up back in town without any kind of excuse, or story of what happened, this guy isn’t exactly playing 3D chess.[/quote]

DP His story is - she left - end of story.

As for the location pings, if I learned anything from the California couple hiking who died from algae bloom. [b]The national parks and extremely rural areas of America have zero cell service.[/b]

All he’d have to do is leave the phone in the area with no cell service or destroy it before he drove back into areas near cell phone towers. And it’s be like he was never there.[/quote]

I don’t understand why they don’t just extend cell service to them?   These parks sound horrible.[/quote]

It is-called nature. Vast expanses of nature.

Who would pay to have cell service there (rural America does not even have it), and who wants cell towers in pristine forests. You seem rather clueless.[/quote]

We were in Moab, Utah in late August.  https://www.discovermoab.com/  It is freaking beautiful there and while there is little/no cell reception in the parks, the town of Moab is your usual tourist trap with great cell reception and every fast food joint known to man.[/quote]

Any undertaking that requires a Federal license or funding, such as cell phone towers from the FCC, has to undergo environmental review. There is often a reason they aren't permitted to build them there.... although usually you can just do some sort of mitigation and get away with it. [/quote]
