(1) Why didn't the investigators just follow the tracks left by the dead girl back to oil drilling site from which she ran? (2) Why would the perps drive the dead boyfriend's body all the way to Littlefeather's place, with which the dead boyfriend had no connection, then put down a sled and then sled it from there up the side of the mountain, to dump it? Was this supposed to make it look sort-of like the boyfriend's murder had something to do with Littlefeather's? If so, how would it be explained that the boyfriend have gotten to Littlefeather's on-foot? (No vehicle missing from the oil drilling site, right?) And why would he have gone there? (3) Why drive the sled from the boyfriend's dumped body down to the oil drilling site, leaving another incriminating trail, instead of just sledding back to Littlefeather's, loading up the sled and driving away, leaving just a two-way trail between the body & Littlefeather's? (4) Why did the dead girl trek six miles, ever deeper into wilderness toward nothing, when at some point early-on she could clearly see she was not being pursued? (5) Why didn't the girl head for the fork in the road where her girlfriend dropped her off (apparently such easy & short walking distance the girlfriend didn't even bother to drive her all the way) where she might have had some chance of finding someone to help her? (6) Why didn't the perps immediately pursue the girl who could incriminate them for the rape & the beating/murder? (7) Why didn't the girl try stealing one of the utility trucks and driving away? Given they were being used to constantly patrol the perimeter, the keys were likely left in them and, in such cold, they were likely left running 24/7 (to keep the oil & fluids from freezing). (8) Why would the perps first say they didn't know what happened to either the boyfriend or the girl after they left ... then, in the very next breath, say they knew the girl was dead? The perps know that the authorities are going to come around eventually, given the boyfriend works there, so why don't they have their story tight/straight? (9) How is that the girl can trek six miles and who-knows-how-many-hours before the cold makes 'HER lungs burst,' but the perp can only run for a few minutes and a couple hundred yards before the cold makes HIS lungs burst? (10) What is the wildlife agent thinking will happen when the remains of the rapist-perp are eventually found ... barefooted? (11) Why is the wildlife agent saying they can't find out what happened to HIS daughter? They can figure out who most of the people were that were at the party ... and none of them witnessed anything useful? And none of them knows who tipped off 'the unknown bad guys' about the party?
