Someone writing some fiction or what? Kinda spooky.

VERY spooky. If he is eventually found in a situation like the one described either the e-mailer is a clairvoyant or knows far too much to be ignored. In the worst of cases the e-mailer might be implicated...

One thing we can take to the bank is that clairvoyance is nonsense and no such ability exists. Another option is that they are bullsh*tting, another option is that they are insane.

Yes, both are possibilities. But what I was alluding to is this: if a body is found in circumstances like the emailer describes, then how did s/he know? Involved in some way? At very least a material witness.

Sounds like the body was intentionally dumped if it is 60-70 feet from the surface. Like down in a well someone dug. At least one post mentioned maybe an illegal pot farm this guy knew about.

I have lived near a national forest for over 20-years. I learned long ago to never on any side trails which are lightly used.

You guys need to get over this "discovered a marijuana grow" thing. This is a popular park right in the middle of the Bay Area, not some remote wilderness area. And it has been crawling with SAR teams and volunteers for 9 days now. They would have found an illegal grow if there was one. And not even the dumbest criminal syndicate would put one there.

And the guy in the Patch comments is clearly nuts.

Here is another missing runner/hiker only a few hours away from the Kreycik scene. The mods won't allow me to start a separate thread on it.

Wow, isn't that the same Zalokar who set WRs for over 50 marathoners a few years back??

A friend of mine on FB just reported that the runner in Yosemite has been found. I don't believe he was found alive.

You're not vert smart. There couldn't possibly be any pot farms in the Bay Area -- legal and otherwise. They all have to be in plain site, because illegal pot farmers couldn't possibly know how to hide them.

Yeah, that part where they eventually found the guy's body some 15 miles away with plastic bags on his feet went over your head. Besides coming up on something illegal and getting killed for it, there is that suicide option. Ask yourself, why would someone wear plastic bag on their feet to do a hike? If your answer, to obscure tracks/footprints you win a cookie.

To reduce the footprint you leave behind, you can cover your shoes with additional things.

A few things you can add to the exterior of your shoes are large socks, towels, and plastic bags.

These will help disguise your footprint to anyone tracking you.

Blessings to his family😢

That email is so bizarre.

Who received that ?

Looks like the patch comments have been disabled.

Captured by or joined the Sasquatches is the best theory so far.

Stop with this lol. People know the weather and microclimates in the Bay Area/where they live...I love getting out of Berkeley (where is is 60 degrees all the time, often with fog...it can be depressing) over the hills to where there is some HEAT. And it's a nice heat...I'd take Walnut Creek or Pleasanton 106 dry heat over a 90 degree humid af day in the midwest/south where I grew up any day...

I just started a thread on it. RIP Fred. I didn't know him, but certainly knew of him from all his age group titles.

Might be the lost guy who wants people to stop looking for him except in some impossible to find him place. 70 feet underground and somehow perfectly in between rocks where the body cannot be seen from above. No blood on the rocks? There would have to be prints leading to the secret hole in the ground.

Several years ago there was a thread about a woman who abducted by Mexican females who tortured her (nothing sexual) and the dumped her on the side of the road. She raised something like $50,000 and then vanished.

The Bay Area does have a fair share of Man Bears.

How'd you learn that? Did you get murdered?
