Inyo Sheriff Says Renee Fox May Have Escaped the Desert & "Could Be Anywhere" (Court TV 070706)

It might seem tot me that approximately 10 years ago that the Inyo County Sheriff's Department said that exact same thing about a German couple that have not been found to this day!! Now I don't mean to be so pessimistic, but it is just that they run out of leads and rather then say that they have ran out of leads and they cannot find her or the trail has ran cold, they say that she got a ride. It is possible reading some of the people that have been so kind to write a statement to the paper, the family has been really comforted by this news, and in the process the Inyo County Search and Rescue seems to have dodged a bullet, on a search that they might or might not find.

The real truth is that the Inyo National Forest is vast, and there are many varmints that will eat the flesh of a human once that human has reached its demise, but not before. Why even most Bears will turn away from a person if the person gives a lot of noise to the bear, and makes themselves more bigger then the bear. All the bear has to think is that the person is bigger then the Bear, when they don't then the bear is dangerous, and most times they are dangerous especially when they have diseases such as Rabies. Then there is nothing that would scare that bear away, or a coyote for that matter. If the heat has gotten her and she has died from dehydration then the Coyote can and will drag the torso off for meat and eating, once the more dominant gets done eating then the rest start to eat.

My theories might not be good ones or the best outcome, but it is a very hot desert, and she didn't have any water products to speak of from what the people that past her said or didn't say, I suppose that the Inyo County Sheriff Knows how much water or refreshments she had to take or drink when she started her nature walk. The trouble is that the paper doesn't indicate that she was on any kind of nature hike walk or otherwise. She was crying in front of the Court House and then she was seen walking down the road up road to Independence canyon. I have picked up Hikers from the trail head years ago. I did it for money, $20.00 a head, they rode in the back of my truck, but back then there was no laws prohibiting the riding of people on a flat bed truck.

I feel for the family, I have been praying for them and it just rubs me the wrong way when the Sheriff's Search and Rescue says, "well she more then likely got a ride!" What kind of statement is that and if so why has she not contacted her family at all!! I suppose the person that picked her up is using her as a Sex slave, for the rest of her life. PLEASE!! THIS IS THE KISS OFF!!!

Please if you have any comments or suggestions as to what might have happened to Mrs. Fox, pleas BLOG away, I would love to hear from you!

Cops Say Renee Fox May Have Escaped the Desert and 'Could Be Anywhere'

By Seamus McGraw

INDEPENDENCE,Calif. (Crime Library) — Investigators probing the disappearance of Renee Fox say they now believe that the 25-year-old divorced mother, student and sometime-drug abuser stumbled out of the high desert near Independence where her abandoned car and cash-filled pocketbook were found 12 days ago, and could be anywhere from Palm Springs to Oregon.

"We have certain reports and we're trying to confirm another report that she made it out to Highway 395," said Inyo County Sheriff's Investigator Paul Bedell. "It sounds like we have a witness who can place her out there that afternoon... and at this point it looks like we've got her out of the canyon and onto the highway."

"If that's the case," Bedell said. "She could be anywhere."

Renee Fox

Authorities believe that Fox, a young woman with a history of drug problems, who was, according to her family, turning her life around after an emotionally draining divorce, may have become disoriented while traveling through the town of Independence and lost her way, ultimately ending up on a hard-packed fire road in the scorching, mine-pocked desert outside of town. The rough terrain proved too severe for her late-model Volkswagen Jetta, and when the car broke down, the apparently disoriented young woman set off on foot. She left her cell phone — its battery dead — in her car.

During her wanderings in the desert, she came across some men who were four-wheeling, and they gave Fox at least two bottles of water. The next day, when the same two men found the young woman's pocketbook with $900 in cash still in it, they became alarmed and asked another traveler they encountered to notify authorities.

By that point, authorities now believe, Fox, who had wandered more than eight miles through the desert, had already made it to the highway.
