I'm guessing he knew she would be found unless he better disposed of the body, and had his parents run interference while he attempted to get back there by car and bury her. If you look, he was found in that general direction, 500 miles northwest (600 miles if you believe the Mobile reports).

Once news hit that the body was found (which was mostly a stroke of luck, due to that video), he turned back around and started hiding out.
Possibly. Be crazy to think you could make it all the way back and not be seen throughout entire journey. It isn’t like he could show up and say he was there to help look for her. He hadn’t even reported her disappearance and they’d never let him out of their sight.

I am curious where her body was found exactly? It said remote area, but for them to say it’s a homicide immediately,, did he shoot her? Like I assumed when she’d been discovered, it was at the bottom of some cliff where if she had a broken neck or whatever, it could be explained as from the fall or inconclusive. To say immediately homicide was surprising.

Reading about the park, they’ve been historically busy for months. Over 700k visitors in June. Over a million in July and August. By far more visitors this year than in its 92 year history for like a year straight. Obviously getting locked down made people want to get out in nature.

Even in a 300k acre park, seems like it would be hard to get in and out with the idea no one is going to spot the most famous kid being plastered all over news every day, but that’s thinking rationally. He clearly hasn’t for a month now.

I also see they have like a dozen divers in that park they are searching for him. Don’t know what that means? If they think he’s killed himself, or they think he’s disposed of a gun or something else there given how quickly they ruled homicide.

I haven’t paid close attention, so maybe her exact manner of death has been reported. I haven’t seen it. If that was his plan, seems like a really poor one given how famous he was by that point. There were already multiple reports by Mobile. By the time he got that far back, he’d have had a caravan of reporters following him.
