To be honest, him wanting to vanish is one of the best case scenarios here. Certainly better than some of the alternatives. Use your heads.
That's why I agree with J.J. and what you're summarizing here. Anything is possible. Of course we don't want to think anything out of the ordinary, things that people might not want to hear, but you never ever know in life and this is a gambling forum. Maybe the man is safe and people don't know it. Maybe something ( god forbid) awful happened and he was attacked, maybe he disappeared because he wanted to FOR ANY REASON, or maybe Dave took a spill, broke an ankle, etc. The weather is unforgiving. Any opinion is a good one and not meant to disrespect his legacy that people hope will continue in this life when he's hopefully found. It's silly to attack people for thinking out of the ordinary. Everyone has weak moments.
