The family invited the public in.

The son is posting intimate details about Mom on facebook.

They all four appeared on national tv to tell the story.

And, if there is truly a man accosting women with a knife, the public deserves as much info as is available.....esp the locals or anyone planning to visit the campground.

The truth could have involved both motives for walking away from safety, and wandering off.

One of the interviews this morning quoted her son who said she went into the bushes "to pee." There are restroom facilities close to the campsites, so I thought that was a strange comment. Now it seems like the story has changed and she was taking the dog into the brush for the dog to go. Regardless, it doesn't seem like she would've been that far from her husband since he was only parking their vehicle.

Uh, there was running water at that park and other nearby facilities. This gang was not based in a wilderness area, and for what it's worth, the west side of the Angeles National Forest is nothing like Inyo County.

Glad she was found but the story is weird for sure. I had expected LE to put a sketch out for the guy by now.

I agree with the person that said she may have made it up because she was afraid of being charged for the search.

I haven't visited the go fund me to see if they stopped accepting donations yet. Glad to hear thy want to refund the money. Them asking for $10,000 was realistic but $100,000? Ridiculous.

Based on what the son reported the bad guy as saying, which has now been deleted from Facebook...she was peeing.

It appears it was she who was peeing, and that's how the burly stranger noticed her pubic grooming habits, and commented on them.

So, an aside.

I've never had a yorkie, so maybe those who have can fill me in.

I've had a variety of other small dogs.

We're to believe this man was lurking in the bushes, waiting for the husband to leave momentarily so he could assault the woman, and close enough to notice great detail when she peed.

And the dog didn't notice he was there the whole time.

I've never had a dog that wouldn't have noticed a strange man lurking in the bushes right there.

Agree 100%! It sure doesn't sound right.

Yeah, that's the main thing that gives me pause.

Even if they don't have enough info for a sketch, you would think they would make a statement of some kind.

Their statement that they are investigating seems unusually vague. When women are accosted around my location they almost always either give out what description they have or say they don't have one.

Maybe they haven't talked to her in detail yet because she was recovering.

I'm not overly concerned about the GoFundMe. They don't seem like people that need to run a scam for money.

If she's well enough to go on a TV talk show, she's well enough to provide a description other than burly lurker who uses phrases like "have my way with you". Although honestly, that does narrow it down, considerably.
