I came across Nick Hibbart's case while deep-diving into cold cases in the Ontario region, and there's one aspect I find intriguing. Has anyone else noticed that the police didn't return to his camp for weeks after he was last seen? It's not like the camp was in a bustling area, but still—weeks is a long time! In these sorts of wilderness prospecting trips, communication can be sparse, and it's not unusual for someone like Hibbart to have extended periods of radio silence. But could this lag in checking on him and his camp have impacted the investigation? If they had returned sooner, maybe they could have gathered more initial clues before the fire complicated everything. Does anyone have more info on the usual procedures for these remote camp check-ins during that period? I'm curious how standard it was to leave things unchecked for so long back then. It's frustrating that there's so little information on how the fire started or why the delay occurred. In remote areas, the smallest oversight can have significant consequences. Thoughts?
