After reading the excerpt, I have a couple of questions.

How many months pregnant was she at the time? And how old was Victor?

Read the excerpt again with greater scrutiny.

I’ve come across old airplane wreckage in the mountains of the west. The debris makes for a pretty small area. Remarkably, airplane materials are of such high quality that there is usually very little rust, to none. I came across an F4 Phantom in SoCal mtns that has been there for about 50 yrs.

In the thick trees of the NW, i could see a plane being gone forever for sure. It’s so dense with brush that it simply devours anything. Lots of hikers in the Central Cascades only stepped off the PCT trail for a mere few yards...gone.

3 years ago we came across a rusted out 65 chevy truck that sat on our small farm we have owned since 1994. Covered in a thick covering of multi flora rose.

Gas company running a gas line across backside of property found it after bulldozing scrub mf rose for a a right of way.

Never knew it was there.

Wow. That is a scary story - getting lost just a few yard from the trail!
Did you get the number off the F-4 just in case?

It’s a well known crash site, on a popular motorcycle off road trail. The pilot bailed out and survived.

The forests up here are no joke. A few years back a guy against better judgement tried to forge ahead near White Pass Washington on the PCT trail, in an effort to reach Canada. The weather became very soupy, foggy... it’s a white out. I’ve been in that area with dirt bikes and you cannot see more than a few feet in front of your face.

The guy probably made a weather shelter using branches then froze to death. They have searched the trail, about 30 miles area I’d guess and have signs up. Gone without a trace.

“Wow. That is a scary story - getting lost just a few yard from the trail!”

I was at my brothers house in upstate MI walking my dog in the woods behind his house. So thick with bush and trees cannot see more than 15 feet in front of you. I was maybe 1 /2 mile in and lost track of direction. Total silence- no road traffic to catch my bearings.

Slight panic set in and I have been walking in woods for 30 years.

After walking around for a while understood how people can get lost so easily.

There is a good sized lake just East of Snag. Do we have the technology to look at the bottom of that lake from space?

Alaska is a huge unforgiving wilderness and can swallow you up without a trace.

Better check CNN, this may have been a Black Hole incident.

Maybe additional repetition might help.

“In the thick trees of the NW, i could see a plane being gone forever for sure.”

The Yukon is not the Pacific NW, it is sub-arctic tundra covered with scrawny black spruce trees and brush. You’d have to tie 5 or more black spruce together to make a Christmas tree. No, that plane is either part of a glacier or at the bottom of a lake.

Been number of aircraft disappearing in NY Adirondacks mountains

When consider how rugged area is, heavily forested with number of lakes

Consider too in aircraft crashes the plane can be reduced to debris no bigger than your hand

Is entirely feasible nothing was found
