Did anyone else find it strange that Russ was able to phone his ex-girlfriend from the gas station, but neither of them tried to call for help when their boat ran out of fuel? I mean, considering the mechanical problems they were having, wouldn't it have made more sense to contact someone who could help them out with the boat? Maybe there was a payphone at the gas station, and he didn't think to alert authorities, but that seems like a missed opportunity to get assistance. It just makes me wonder if there's more to the story, especially since these guys seemingly vanished into thin air. Anyone else have thoughts on this? It's just baffling how nothing was found despite the massive search efforts.

Hey everyone, I stumbled upon a bizarre detail in the Alan J. Hirsch case that I haven’t seen discussed much yet. Has anyone delved into the call Russ made to his ex-girlfriend right before he and Alan disappeared? I mean, I find it odd because if the boat was having mechanical issues, and they were low on fuel, wouldn't the logical next step be to call someone for help, maybe to bring them fuel, rather than just saying he’d be home by nightfall? I'm speculating here, but could this call have been more than just an update on his whereabouts? Maybe he was trying to drop a hint or coded message? It’s always been peculiar to me that this communication doesn’t seem to lead anywhere, especially since they were in such a precarious situation. Anyone else have thoughts or insights on this? Curious if anyone has any ideas or similar cases where phone calls played a crucial yet mysterious role before a disappearance.
