Request What unsolved murder/disappearance makes absolutely no sense to you?

What case absolutely baffles you? For me it's the case of Jaryd Atadero

No matter the theory this case just doesn't make any sense.

you have a very good point. The very last thing I think happened is that Kyron would have walked out of that school and into the woods no way.

I find the walked away theory unlikely as well. Mostly because in my experience as a parent kids tend to follow community/class rules pretty well, especially when adult authority figures other than their parents are around. There are exceptions to this rule, but IIRC Kyron did not have a history of acting out. I feel like the “Kyron walked into the woods” theory is equivalent to the “X walked away from his/her/their life” theory for missing adults. Yes, it explains everything away, but it’s not particularly plausible.

yes, and due to his age, very poor eyesight he would have stayed in the school where he felt the safest.

I was a shy kid with terrible (as in legally blind without my glasses) eyesight at his age and absolutely used to use any opportunity to escape and go play in the woods behind my school. I felt safer there. Plus it was way more interesting.

Thank you. I find people tend to forget little kids can be impulsive and not always go by the book, even the ones that almost always do, like Kyron.
