More will likely come to light as she reported a weapon wielding assault. That makes it a law enforcement investigation into an allegedly violent crime instead of a simple missing camper and a pet which with the successful conclusion would have simply been filed under “win”.
I’ve always been puzzled why right from day one her children insisted this was an abduction versus a wilderness visitor simply getting lost which happens all the time. That struck me as odd:, people get lost pretty much daily and as others have noted there’s lots of potential confusion there with social trails, not a lot of signage and terrain that doesn’t have really dominating festures to allow for easy reorientation. In an urban setting, sure that’s a reasonable possibility. On the side of a desert mountain?

Mrs. Powell’s recounting of events leading up to her disappearance involve being approached by an unknown suspect with a knife, the suspect threatening her and her dog with the knife, the suspect making a sexual remark, then her running away from the suspect and ultimately getting lost. We are asking that the public be on the lookout for anyone matching the following description: under 6 feet, 180 pounds, bald/shiny head, dark eyes, brown eyebrows, white male but with tanned skin, potentially with a Southern accent, around 50 years old, no visible tattoos, stocky, dark colored backpack, dark green button up shirt with long sleeves, dark colored pants, armed with a 6-8 inch bladed knife with a dark colored handle.

It should also be noted that had authorities focused on an abduction as her family demanded? She’d likely be dead by now under a tree.

Possibly because their mother is an experienced hiker and they felt sure that getting lost is something that happens to "other people."

Both for family and individuals themselves: always other people that get turned around. The foundation of a lot of unpreparedness.
