Hey everyone, I've been diving into Fred Lincoln Gist's case and found a detail that piqued my interest. The group had a brief encounter with a packer who instructed them on a safer camping spot. I've been wondering about this person—did anyone ever follow up with them to see if they noticed anything unusual about that area? It's strange because this packer's advice was pretty crucial to their decisions that day, and it seems like that interaction might hold more insight. Did they notice anything odd or out of place that could help us understand what might have happened to Fred after his companions continued on? The search efforts clearly didn't turn up any solid leads, so details from that brief interaction might be more important than they seem. Anyone have any information or thoughts on this aspect? It's baffling that someone could just vanish so completely, but maybe we're missing something in the details of that conversation. Would love to hear your ideas or any info you might have come across!
