Yeah I need to put up a better map lol. But I do want to talk about Camp 18. It had to be beat into my head that serious 4X'ers couldn't have driven a shorter way than down and around hwy 70. But I have talked to some people from the area, and after damn near literally painting me a picture, I get that was the only way to get Tina to Camp 18 in that immediate time frame. What we're probably all in agreement about here is, camp 18 is probably the most significant "clue" we have. More important then a bb gun site, fingerprints, and the DNA we're aware of. Tina's remains were found four hours away from where the murders happened in Keddie. There is a part of me that say's no one who committed these brutal murders would flee the scene and carry a deceased body in their car for that long. What if they got pulled over? What if their car died? I think it's totally possible Tina was alive for a time (very briefly) after the murders. I'd think with all the advancements in DNA testing, her blood could be compared and singled out against her mother and brother. On the other hand, the killers could have been in shock themselves and running on pure adrenaline, decided on a destination they felt comfortable with, Camp 18. So who was familiar with and comfortable leaving Tina there? My first thought is rail road employees, foresters, loggers, and truckers. Though the rail line through Feather Falls had been defunct for a few years, I think some employees assisted with the dismantling of the tracks, and grading them into road ways. There were still logging operations in the area, and foresters replanting. Truckers drove the route carrying timber.

Is it in the realm of possibility that Tina's remains were moved after the snow melt? It seems pretty risky to move a body, but it's certainly been done before. But it also seems pretty risky to drive her four hours away, and risk getting stuck in the snow/mud. I think if a killer is ever named, we'll find they had some intimate knowledge of these roads through either their own employment, or someone close to them that had brought them to camp 18 at some point.
I may have found a tenuous familial connection between a "suspect" and a logging trucker, I'm waiting to hear back on what my cohorts think about. And I say "suspect" in quotes because my gut tells me he wouldn't have been involved in the actual killings, but may have gotten caught up in the aftermath. But, I also gotta keep in mind that the logging and RR industry were probably the biggest employers in Plumas county at the time.

I think it’s absolutely in the realm - for all we know her remains may have been put there right before she was found - like the killer wanted her to be found. And as you said it had to be somebody familiar with Camp 18 - they didn’t just happen up on that spot.
Cant wait to hear what you find!
