I have been following this thread from the beginning but guess I missed something. I don't know Dennis but in general I have found his posts helpful. Some posters are more direct than others.

This has been a really long ordeal. My thoughts are with the family and yes, they have been amazing. We are closer to closure and I am sure none of us will rest til then. Many have indeed gone above and beyond the call of duty......and this has been an incredible resource.

Baja is rugged. We must always bear that in mind for sure have a Plan B and even C.

I would have to stick my head in a similar place as yours for a deep, inward look and I'm disinclined to do that.
How's the view up there?

See, this is what's really grating me. That some form of authority hasnt done this yet. Now, it probably wont occur until after Semana Santa. So, that's an additional two weeks.

Memories fade............people move on, especially surfers.

There is unnecessary foot-dragging going on here, IMO.

I think that Lizard Lips didn't get involved publicly because he didn't have the OK of the family. That is pretty obvious because now since the family gave their ok Lizard is now fully complying and sharing important information. The family needs to get down to Baja and start a full-fledged investigation and get totally involved in the area of Gary's disappearance. To have the family up in California and the Nomads down in the vicinity just won't work. Semana Santa perhaps is now the time to make it or break it.

No Janene that isn't correct. The family has been cool with whatever I wanted to do however I informed them of what I was planning. All of the information coming forward recently has been posted immediately except for the rancher and that end of it. Prior to putting anything on the Nomad board I wanted to confirm prior to posting. Confirmation is the only way to go forward and that I held back was just something I needed to do before I mentioned anything. I didn't want anyone to get the wrong information and I didn't want to post wrong information. Having the family come down in early May is what they are planning. They cannot do it sooner. Hopefully before they do come down we may obtain a police report as well as the Ministerio Publico Investigation report so we can see exactly what has been done since the missing person notification was issued and they started their investigation. I won't even speculate what the authorities in San Quintin or Catavina have done until I have proof before me. After a review then we can go forward and do what needs to be done.

Thanks Lizard. SO happy the family is coming. Hopefully it can be a combined search with Nomads in the area and family.

Read the thread guys. Read the thread. If it doesn't make you angry I'd be surprised. If I was a family member I'd be just beside myself with the behavior of several nomads in this thread.

I'm all for "tough questions." That's not what this is about.

There were a lot of BS comments that really served no useful purpose other than to upset the family. If you think the ones you read were bad you didn't want to read the ones that were deleted soon after being posted. Very sad. Unfortunately that's the reality of forums.

Good idea --- but if anyone wants the entire thread or a page before someone deletes things, one can save the printable version to their own computer ---sometimes a very good idea!

Sincerely hoping that soon Lizard Lips and the family will have more answers. Considering his experience, the family is fortunate to have Lizard Lips continuing to search.

I thought I'd jump in with an observation. I apologies if it has already been covered...In regards to the rear window being cracked and the surfboard sticking out, why would he travel with it this way when the photo indicates that it will fit inside with the window closed. Maybe someone needed to make space for a passenger?

I really can't figure out the rear window situation and why the surfboard was sticking out when the 4 Runner was discovered and then secured in the photo at the PD impound lot. More maybes.

As far as the deletion of post are concerned at this point in time the family can handle anything that is written and I want to see whats posted as well the sensitive posts or what some say were disgusting. Leave them all here.

It was a good day yesterday with all the posts and I even had the Patton crew send me the u2u's that were sent to them which were very positive and productive.

As I mentioned you all know everything so far and there is no hidden agenda as far as myself or the Pattons are concerned. Anytime something new is learned it will be posted, good or bad, and you will be kept informed.

She points out that we do not know if he continued to drink.

But if he did, that might account for impaired judgement.

Nena


There is also the fact in this thread or in another place, because this story is all over the internet besides "Baja Nomad" it said Gary might have had a falling out with the family, my not have wanted to be found, and had plenty of money with him. Gary might also be known by another alias name, from what a brief search of the internet shows.

Maybe it's none of "Baja Nomad" members business, because most of us aren't even involved here, but are only speculating. and perhaps praying for Gary. But we don't know what Gary's frame of mind was when he disappeared, and if he suffered from any mental impairment, and if so, was it serious or minor. I think this is a very important detail that we don't know about, and at the very least the search party should know about.

A few things don't seem rational to me, like getting stuck in the mud, but leaving the keys in the SUV but locking the 4-Runner, so when you do find help you locked herself out of the SUV, and even if he had a spare keys, why leave it, and take a chance somebody will come by dig the SUV out of the dirt, and steal it, or steal the contents of the vehicle. So who even knows who was behind the wheel when the 4-runner got stuck in the mud.

I had a 4-Runner years ago, and even took it all the way to Cabo, and they are very reliable vehicles, and the battery should have been good for at lease a couple of weeks, or it should have been very easy to jump start if the battery was dead.

I'm just curious and the question is meaningless, but the foto shows what would be called a luggage rack on the 4-Runner. Would he have tied his board to that, or traveled with his board in the car?
