Do you believe this dude lost his memory?


https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2018/02/16/firefighter-who-went-missing-new-york-found-california-without-memory-police-say/345838002/

Canadian dude went on a skiing trip to NY, went missing which prompted a widespread search on the mountain. All his belongings including his wallet were still in his hotel room. 6 days later he was found 3000 miles away in Sacramento, California. He claims he has no recollection how he got there, and was still wearing his ski outfit and goggles. Lol, how does this even happen. What's your theory on how he got there?

Maybe he crashed while skiing and suffered a head injury, but was able to get to his feet and managed to hitch a ride in a truck. Stranger things have happened.

Why would he hitch a ride in a truck to Sacramento of all places, and who would drive someone who is injured for 3000 miles?

This. It sounds deeper than memory loss.

The most likely story is that he's making it up.

Nah. He rolled through here on a massive bender, dressed for the slopes.

Epic night. Dan was a riot. He crashed on my couch and was gone in the morning. I'm glad he's safe.

People do strange things when they suffer head injuries. He likely wasnt completely with it

Might have a brain tumor, or something else. Im just guessing. But my money would be on him being out of sorts enough to do something like this, but not so out of sorts that the truck driver saw any reason to be alarmed.

The truck driver had never met him before, had no idea what his normal behavior, speech, mannerisms, etc are. The guy he met just needed a lift.

Seeing as how he didn't have the mental capacity to think of any options for contacting his wife (or anyone else) to get him actual help other than shelling out for an expensive phone, he probably had an iWatch on him to use Apple Pay.

It's a cover story. He went into the California desert to cook meth.
