Recovery Map of Car and Remains

My father obtained aerial maps of the Bull Creek area from the Provincial Government and the RCMP GPS information to aid in their search. In the image below, the key sites in the recovery are noted.  Based upon where Reggie's skull was found, we believe that he awoke in a hypothermic condition, and as his car battery was dead, he tried to walk out of the woods.He would not have attempted to walk through the woods, as it was very thick brush and full of swamp areas, so we believe that he followed the road above and to the right of his car and started to walk out.

The weather was very cold during this time of year. One of the unusual things about the car was that we found his winter jackets in the car, which is counter-intuitive if you have to walk out of the woods on a cold day, but we learned that when people experience hypothermia, , they tend to become very hot and strip off a lot of clothes. Reggie could not have made it very far with adequate clothing.

Although Reggie's bones were scattered all over the place by coyotes, we don't believe that they played any role in his death. With hypothermia, people simply lie down and fall asleep and die peacefully. We are comforted in this fact and know that Reggie is now at peace and smiling down on his family.
