[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 60540, member: 337"] Here's a sans alcohol theory that works. Left his phone (a light source) in truck. Maybe got in trouble/injured right at or after dark when he wrecked his wheeler. Maybe he had no other headlamp/flashlight so his choice was to try to find his truck. Cold/hurt he tries to find his pickup, gets lost in cattails and water and doesn't make it out. Or maybe he suffered from a diabetic shock issue, stroke, mild heart attack, you name it. That's what actually caused him to crash? Who knows. So in my mind it was likely not anybody's "fault" - even his own - just a horrible accident. Not that it matters. It's horrible either way. Take home message for me is "be prepared" with backup light source or whatever if/when you can. I've thought several times that maybe a heat sensing camera on a drone would have found him. Some day we'll have stuff like that for the lost - not just the criminals. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Prayers for his family to have gone through all that time - then this. :( [/QUOTE]
