I’ve been following Kerry Patterson's case for a while now, and something that intrigues me is the location where her remains were found. Tonner Canyon is quite secluded, isn't it? It makes me wonder about the level of familiarity someone would need to have with that area to choose it as a dumping site. It seems like it would be a significant risk for a stranger. I hope this provides some context into the profile of a possible suspect. Has anyone looked into individuals who might have worked or lived around that area during the time of Kerry’s disappearance? It’s frustrating to think about how her family has had to wait all these years for answers, and I sincerely hope they find peace soon.
Hey everyone,
I'm relatively new to the forum but have been following Kerry Patterson's case for a while now. Something that's really been on my mind lately is the location where her remains were found. Tonner Canyon is pretty remote, even now, and I'm just so curious about what that might mean in terms of someone trying to hide evidence. It makes me wonder about the logistics of getting there back in 1980 – was it as secluded then as it is now, and would someone local have the knowledge needed to navigate that area?
I can't stop thinking about Kerry's family and friends who had to endure not knowing where she was for so long, only to face such tragic news. I hope with all my heart that investigators can get some fresh leads soon. Anyone else think the choice of location says something specific about the person responsible? Could it indicate that they were familiar with the area, or perhaps it was chosen for a different reason entirely?
Would love to hear your thoughts.
I’ve been reading about Kerry Patterson’s case, and one aspect that truly struck me is how close her neighborhood is to where she was found. It’s only about 10 miles. It really makes you wonder if her abductor was familiar with the area. With so many years having passed, it’s crucial to think about the people in her life who might have known both her and the remote locations around Fullerton and Brea. It seems like someone might have used that area to hide something, thinking it would never be found. It’s just so haunting to think she could have been so close all that time without anyone knowing. My heart goes out to Kerry’s family, who’ve had to live with these unanswered questions for decades. Hoping that any new leads or tips can finally bring them some closure.
