Thank you for the post, I’ll be watching the video later. The first thought that comes to my mind is why wasn’t there a helicopter search in the area? The paucity of trees on the terrain seems to be perfect for helicopter reconnaissance but I see no mention of that in this post.
Helicopters were used as part of the initial S&R efforts! Also tracking dogs. They just also didn’t find him. There’s a little about it in Tom’s stuff. I don’t know if Tom got the flight path / was able to map where it searched, I think there’s some more info buried in this FOIA’d doc about the initial search that Tom Mahood got ahold of.
(One thing I saw—can’t remember who mentioned this, if it was Mahood or Adam Marsland—is that the FOIA’D doc mentions S&R requesting a helicopter with thermal imaging equipment to come search too, but that doesn’t seem to have actually ever happened. Which is a shame, because at that point Ewasko was alive and presumably closer to/within the main search areas, so that could have actually found him.)
