I’ve been following the case of Elmer L. Ross, and one of the things that really sticks out to me is how living in such a rural area like Highland Home might have contributed to the difficulty in locating him. Given that Highland Home is surrounded by dense woods and farmland, it seems plausible that Elmer might have wandered into a difficult-to-access area, especially considering his Alzheimer's. Also, since he raised puppies, I wonder if any of those pups could have followed him and left some trace. It makes you think about how quickly someone can disappear in such a vast area, and how challenging it must be for searchers with limited resources to cover all that ground effectively. Anyone else have similar thoughts or insights into how geography might play a role in cases like this?
Has anyone looked into the possibility that Elmer might have been picked up by someone he knew? I started thinking about how he raised puppies and how that could mean regular interactions with folks stopping by his place, maybe even some kind of local pet community connections. Given that he might have been a bit disoriented due to his Alzheimer's, I wonder if someone familiar approached him, offering a lift or just a drive to clear his mind, and things went awry from there. Anyone from Highland Home or the surrounding areas recall any unusual activity or someone mentioning a sudden interest in puppies around that time?
Has anyone looked into local shelters or adoption centers for dogs during the time Elmer Ross went missing? Since he raised puppies, I wonder if there was any connection or if anyone in those circles might recall seeing or hearing something unusual. People working in them might remember conversations or even if someone matching Elmer's description showed up. It feels like a long shot, but sometimes the most unexpected details can help move a case forward. Anyone from the area remember anything like this happening back then?
