No. David lays aside conventional as well as exotic explanations and typically AVOIDS ANY CONCLUSIONS. He just searches out the facts and lets the facts speak for themselves without forming conclusions.
I didn't mean to say he comes to any particular conclusions. My point was that in the absence of evidence, he implies that there is something less than mundane going on. It's a good way to sell books.
You mean a lack of evidence. There's sort of a difference.
Thankfully, he's brave enough to go wherever the evidence is leading him.

You mean like this?
Four years later, in 2003, hikers found some clothing that turned out to be Jaryd's. However, the clothing was found 550 feet up from the trail where Jaryd was last seen. A very steep and difficult area to get too, especially for A bit of a child's skull and one tooth were found.
Asks Paulides: "How did Jaryd and his clothes get up the hill if he couldn't have climbed up there himself?"

Scavengers maybe?
No mission. If that were my mission I obviously failed at it a long time ago. Just my thoughts that there's no real reason to go all mysterious about it.
Is it your mission to make sure everyone knows this for sure so that we no longer have to discuss it?

a good number of cases
There are no explanations for "a good number" of UFO cases. See my point?
A lack of evidence means unknown. That's it. People disappear in the woods. That's it.
What's the point? Other than selling books, that is?
1999 and 2,000 . . . Carl Landers 69 and Rosemary K 70 . . . different events, different location . . .
Carl was with some friends . . . a retired airline pilot . . . another ran an import business . . . they left and started to climb Mt Shasta . . . stopped in an area of a small lake but didn't quite make it to the lake . . . sleeping up against some boulders . . . Carl wasn't feeling chipper . . . had the runs . . . didn't feel good but felt he could still make it. Was used to running daily . . .
2 of the guys picking up the tent. . . said go around the bend, go 800 feet and you'll reach the lake and wait there. There's no other options than to go right to the lake. They guys 15-20 minutes later they leave for the lake and stop at the ranger. They asked if the Ranger saw Carl--no. They walked back and fourth 3-4 times . . . supplies were where they left them. Called search operations . . . Gris had done it for 30+ years . . . in 35 years I've never seen this happen. We were all over that mountain. HE WAS NOT ON THAT MOUNTAIN. We had canines. There was snow around the path and no steps went off the path. He's never been found . . . none of his equipment has been found.
You can discuss it all you want. Don't imply that I can't.

What's the point of asking "why" or "how" ever? Obviously to understand the world we live in!
How do you understand something which lacks enough evidence to provide understanding?
There are sometimes evidence by family or friends who saw them seconds before they disappeared. There is evidence their body was not found. There is evidence there was no animal attack. There is evidence they re-appeared in a place that had previously been searched multiple times.

"There's several times where people disappear in an area that has a strange name. . . . places have names for a reason . . . many times . . . "Devil's Valley" "Devil's Mountain" "Devil's Nest" are areas with multiple disappearances.
