A California professor, who was recently charged with felony domestic violence, was reported missing after he went hiking in Washington and never returned.
Hunter Fraser, a Professor of Biology at Stanford University, was scheduled to appear in a California court on June 9 for a preliminary hearing in a criminal case where he is facing a felony domestic violence charge, KRON4 reported.
On July 4, 2022, Fraser allegedly threw his girlfriend to the floor and slammed a door on her chest while he played with their daughter, the outlet reported. An officer observed a “large swath of redness with the imprint of a door handle on [the woman’s] skin,” according to a police report according to the Stanford Daily. The woman allegedly suffered two fractured ribs.

He went on a 2-day, 40-mile hiking trip in Washington’s Olympic National Park on June 5 and was reported missing when park rangers notified the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office of an overdue hiker on June 7. Police described Fraser as an “extremely skilled solo hiker” and started a search where he parked his car at the Deer Ridge Trailhead, which is considered a difficult hike, the Washington Trails Association said.

Light weight hiking sneakers may be worn inside the galoshes.
Perhaps he’s riding the rails to get around.
A true westerner calls him a weinie
Yeah, I see a lot of tourists dressed like that here in the mountains. They have "Liberal city slicker" written all over them.
On the rocky trail pictured...sneaks inside of floppy rain boots won’t provide much ankle support. Give me a good set of Danners.

Did he run away, or was he disappeared?
Oh indeed
One would bet that he’s in Canada, doing whatever liberal assholes on the lam do there in these times.
Oh yeah, only a total dork goes for a walk with ski poles and muck boots.
I was watching some youtube by a guy that will help someone “disappear” (unless the person is wanted by the police). He said it often begins with a capsized boat or a “lost hiker”.
He said that if it is a wife running from a spouse they can sometimes do it if they are REALLY careful (different city, never call relatives, always pay cash, public transportation, etc.) but they usually get found out.
He said it was almost impossible for a typical person to not get caught if wanted by the police or organized crime.
There is an ad on youtube for some nice looking recreational slacks. The guy starts off looking JUST LIKE this guy and says something like “Why do companies think this is a good look!!??”
Because it is more fun to assume he is guilty.
And there is the fact that the woman has broken ribs. She could have gotten them another way, it is true.
But this is not a court room and I am not going to be on his jury, so I can assume whatever I like.
I read in the local paper that his Stanford Professor made it out of the woods 4 or 5 days late. He came across some other hikers and hiked out with them.
Maybe depending on terrain. If you have to go through a lot of creeks, maybe a pair for that. Maybe a pair for some other surface?
