Hmm...Wonder what mom was doing for two weeks? And suddenly pop up. I think I'm missing a part of the story.

[Fai Mao]

While gone it was discovered that her voter registration had been used 14 times to vote for Biden.

[Secret Agent Man]

Foolin around

[Diana in Wisconsin]

“..complicated by the fact that Courtier didn’t have a cell phone and hadn’t left a trip itinerary.”

‘Mommy’ needed a little Vay-Cay from her family? Maybe suicidal?

This doesn’t pass the smell test.

[Bonemaker]

Is she a California democrat?

[mad_as_he$$]

GMTA. 12 days, unprepared, alone in Zion? Color me very skeptical. If it’s true she needs to go on “Naked and Afraid.”

[metmom]

There’s a lot missing from that story.

[Fungi]

Yep, a lot is missing. Water would be easy, food very difficult for that amount of time. Did she loose weight? I have spent time in Zion, a beautiful park with warning signs everywhere. Let us see the specifics....

[Repeal The 17th]

From the article:
“...had been traveling the country in a converted van...”

“...didn’t have a cell phone and hadn’t left a trip itinerary...”
-
So, how did anyone know she was “missing”?

[RevelationDavid]

Some ‘crazy eyes’ on that girl....wow

[sphinx]

Well ... anybody know if Mark Sanford is accounted for?

[leaning conservative]

Her daughter seemed devastated. I’m glad she’s alive.

[BluH2o]

Live in western Colorado. Visited Zion Nat’l Park on different occasions over the past decade. In fact, I’m acquainted with the Superintendent of this park, she was Superintendent of a smaller Federal park nearby to where I now live. She may have retired recently … what I’m leading up to … Zion Nat’l Park is relatively small. How the hell do you remain lost for two weeks in this park? This reeks of BS.

[HighSierra5]

The first rule of getting lost is don’t get lost. Dumbass.

[drSteve78]

IMO That lovely woman purposefully left her phone somewhere like home, or just had it turned off. And disappeared for some personal time. With or without an as yet unknown companion. She lost track of time.
Or zombies took her, less than likely.
Just my opiniion, but hey, in today’s day and age, any story worth telling is worth writing down.

[Troublemaker]

A gofundme page has been set up for her? Hmmm...

[2111USMC]

an "experienced hiker” who was familiar with Zion National Park.

Okey-dokey

[lurk]

Zion has plenty of rocks but very few trees or square miles. And it has a whole bunch of visitors. This story sounds fishy.

[cyclotic]

Cell phones don’t work in many areas so that’s not a problem. Not leaving a trail plan is very dumb.

I love survival stories like this and am glad she’ll have a story to tell.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

She is thought to possibly be wearing a "Pistil Gray Trucker Hat, a Patagonia Black Nano Puff Jacket, a Dark Tank Top, Danner Trail Gray Hiking Boots, and an Osprey Blue Multi-day Pack."
She was also thought to possibly be carrying a cream-colored hoody sweatshirt, a Rumple Nanoloft puffy blanket and a camouflage-colored double hammock.

That sounds like a lady who was planning on being gone a while or one who is really OCD about having survival gear with her at all times.

I never carried that much with me even when hunting in the northern woods much less for a couple of hours of hiking.

[yldstrk]

She has a nutso look in her vacant eyes. She was probably just hanging out smoking the wacky weed and lost track of time.
