I keep coming back to the discovery of Larry's vehicle at Jay Cooke State Park. I've been thinking about how remote and sprawling the area is. Maybe this was a place he often visited or a spot he felt connected to. The park has so many hiking trails, and it makes me wonder if he could've ventured somewhere off the beaten path that day. Were there any signs that his car had been tampered with or that someone else had driven it there? Also, does anyone know if Larry had a GPS or a map with him? It might give a clue about where he intended to hike. Something about the car just feels like a crucial piece of the puzzle, but the key details about its condition seem to be under-discussed.
Hey everyone, I was just reading through the details of Larry Edward Franklin's case, and something struck me about his planned route. Has anyone looked into why he would choose to head towards Cloquet specifically? It's a bit unclear if he had any known connections there. I find it particularly curious because his vehicle ended up at Jay Cooke State Park, which aligns with him possibly stopping for a hike. But if Cloquet was his end destination, what could have drawn him there? I’m also wondering if anyone knows whether he had talked much about Jay Cooke before or if it was a spontaneous decision. It feels like understanding his intended route might reveal more about his state of mind at the time. Any thoughts or additional info on why he might have been heading that way?
