Exactly, except that I would give the bf slightly more credit than you.
We don’t have all the info as everyone probably would concede.
Mom trying to reconcile the seemingly rational bf behavior with the currently known facts.
Third party— I am at the verge of saying probable.
Third party at the Utah coop— I do not have as much info as I would prefer to make that leap. Does Utah have more than its share of sexual deviants? Something to do with Utah’s unique religious history? I’ve only visited Utah but even then in the few times I was there, it seemed different. However I was not in the countryside.
If the separation happened at Utah then how to explain the bf texting gabby mom from Yosemite 7 days later? I am trying to come up with a plausible scenario for that. Perhaps the police are not sharing something such as the cell phone tower log info, or being deliberately vague or even deceptive on that in an attempt to lure a perp into making a mistake. All that is highly speculative so I did not go into it in my first cut speculation.
I hope something shakes out. I imagine the police have already been all through most of these scenarios... but still there might be a small chance that someone comes up with a new idea... anything that could possibly help...
Mom trying -> I’m trying
