It doesn't take 3 months to determine it was heat exhaustion.

The Twitter thread says it was in the 70s when they started out. Maybe they didn’t know how hot it was going to get?

It also said the app he used to find the hike did not show the total distance or the elevation change. Now that is what I find absolutely ridiculous. You don’t leave for a hike without at least knowing how far you’re going. And every hiking tool I’ve used shows elevation change.

A million pages ago someone mentioned there was a similarly named, less intense trail in the area. I wonder if they got the trails mixed up?

Baby carrier.
Dog leash tethered to husband.

Also possible that the dog and baby were experiencing heat exhaustion before or at the same time as the parents. Reading the reports, they didn’t have a dog water bowl with them.

That's insane. I carry a dog bowl and bottle of water for my dog to do a 25 minute walk around the block when it is 85+. Why were they so extremely negligent that day?

This is absolutely no reason for this to be the case. Please think carefully about (a) whether what you're saying has evidence behind it and (b) what the possible consequences are if people believe what you say before posting anything like this.

Which crazy theory was yours? Lightning, Boulder, FA, murder by illegal growers, wayward mountain biker, bad sushi, toxic gas, or algae?

I'm actually not buying it. True COD will never be released.

What’s this about Bad Art Friend?

Look up the Cold Case Foundation. Something like 1/3 of murders go unsolved.

I’m on of the Arizona posters who posted 300 pages ago that it was inconceivable to me to leave on a bike like that so late in the morning especially with a dog and baby. I think people around the world are really going to have to adjust their expectations about what they can do given the rising global temperatures. Stay safe everyone. Mother Nature has a real wicked side.

Stop. That was an accident (of a type that has happened before) and a tragedy for the person who died and the one who is still hospitalized.

It's incredibly ugly and disrespectful to them and their loved ones to joke that it'll "turn into a true crime deep dive."

Get your true crime jollies somewhere else. You'll manage to survive a day or two until another juicy conspiracy comes along, ghoul.

It was obvious to me that heat stroke/hyperthermia was the Occam’s razor from the very start given what facts we knew (109% temps, ridiculously long, steep hike even if you discount baby and 8 year old furry dog), and the only positive thing for me is that the FA, mom-blamer people who didn’t bother to read the reports (it is sadly similar to the Bad Art Friend saga, with people just projecting) were wrong. I think the dog suffered distress first and was carried up the steep slope by the dad, who was also carrying the baby. He sat to rest with baby and probably unconscious dog, and succumbed along with ailing or close to dead dog and helpless baby, and mom tried to sprint back to car, perhaps after the dithering we would all do, and collapsed. I’m bet if they realized they’d over-committed and stayed in the valley/river until temperatures were cooler, they would have made it.

They were very fit, but also overconfident and thrill-seekers, it seems. I remember when my Minnesota grandmother used to visit us in Florida in the hot months when we would have sports practice she would yell at my mom about the the danger and mutter “Mad dogs and Englishmen.” I was confused then, but I get it now.

So they were down in the bottom of the valley trying to climb out?
