Has anyone looked into the strange fact that Herbert was carrying a .22 caliber rifle at the time of his disappearance? It strikes me as an intriguing detail for a 12-year-old. Could carrying a rifle have anything to do with the reason he might have actually gone into the wilderness? If he did plan to head to BC, maybe he felt the need for protection on his journey. It's a tough call because we can't confirm his intentions, but perhaps stemming from that angle, there could be leads that were overlooked. Given the weather conditions that hampered the initial searches, it's possible clues were simply missed. The story of him leaving to find his mother in BC makes more sense if we think about how he would have needed that rifle for survival. What do you all think? Could this small detail open up any new avenues today?
