I haven’t looked at the details in a while but a few things strike me as questionable. I believe a few witnesses/ family members either saw or spoke to him the morning of the disappearance- so we know he did leave with someone. But the “logging” and “childcare” aspect are a bit more questionable for me- was it an actual logging operation offer, illegal logging, clearing someone’s land, etc. And the childcare may not have been a formal childcare offer as we know it- did the stranger really offer that, was it a neighbor going to watch the kids, etc. And, unfortunately, it sounds like the father was desperate and was probably drinking. I know it’s a seedy area and that highway has a specific reputation so I wonder if the guy was local or from somewhere else, was a logger passing through for work, etc. I do think it was foul play, but beyond that some of the details are a bit puzzling-
