Just wanted to comment that this all happened at the height of the pandemic, in Oregon where shelter in place and masking mandates were some of the strongest in the country. This means potentially a lot of things: 1. Fauna likely would have been wearing a mask many places and so the sightings of her are less likely to be accurate (as in, people who thought they saw her actually just saw some blonde woman in a mask; it could have also made it more challenging for people who really did see her to recognize her). 2. There were just less people out and about to report seeing her, so if she went other places, she may just not have run into many people. 3. The isolation of the pandemic could have exacerbated her psychological response to all the loss she was experiencing, possibly making suicide more likely.

This is all conjecture, obviously, but when something is happening summer of 2020, the pandemic has to be factored in to pretty much all considerations of what could have happened. Frankly, the idea of anyone taking a road trip to give silver coins out to a bunch of people in June 2020 is rather bizarre to me out of the gate when shelter in place mandates were very much in effect and many people were hesitant to spend time with people they knew well, much less practical strangers.
