Re: Lost Hiker-Los Padres Tar Creek

Sounds like Herdman was the one ran off into the wild and his dog chased after him! What a strange ending to a weird story.

Re: Lost Hiker-Los Padres Tar Creek

Rethinking this whole thing now. Maybe I was wrong....our home is nestled right up against the Santa Susana Mountains, probably about half way up the first set of hills. Tonight the moon was somewhere a little better than 3/4 full. The hills behind my home are pretty similar in terrain, rate of rise...

Re: Lost Hiker-Los Padres Tar Creek

Ehhhh no worries. I can see how you might think lu and I were "plants" or just plain weirdos. Can't help my curiosity. The case just fascinates me. I live at the base of the Santa Susana Mountains. From our house to the summit of the first Hills is about 1000 ft. Very rugged terrain but no...

Re: Lost Hiker-Los Padres Tar Creek

Why is that two people have chosen this forum to join to discuss this incident? :twisted: Suspicious of the suspicious. And the demon emoticon is just a LITTLE over the top! Kind of takes paranoia to the next level lol. Not that I need to explain, but I guess I will. What actually happened was anot...

Re: Lost Hiker-Los Padres Tar Creek

If a logical person was to look for a common thread in the responses, they would see a strong consensus: The facts as being reported do not add up. Period. Speculating as to which factoids being reported are true, vs. which is complete BS- is meaningless. G-I-G-O. (Garbage In, Garbage out) The guy ...

Re: Lost Hiker-Los Padres Tar Creek

I don't have much time today (Happy 4th everyone!) but i want to fire up this discussion later. I keep kicking this tragedy around in my head. Just thinking about what is logical and makes sense, I keep coming back to "this was not an accident", especially given some other information I ca...

Re: Lost Hiker-Los Padres Tar Creek

There are lots of reasons why you'd go to the top of a mountain and fall down it, but chasing after a dog doesn't seem to be one of them. It truly seems unreasonable that he would have gone that far after a dog that is quite likely to come back on its own. This really is a strange and suspicious ca...

Re: Lost Hiker-Los Padres Tar Creek

I know somebody who spoke with one of the Ventury County Sheriffs Deputies who was involved in the the recovery. This is second hand, but the source is solid, he said that the Deputy told him that they do not suspect foul play, and that Herdman was high as a kite. Autopsy is being performed today b...

Re: Lost Hiker-Los Padres Tar Creek

Hi everyone. New to the forum. Was referred to the site by a member's post from another forum. By background I grew up in the Simi Valley/Moorpark area and have been hiking in the Sespe several times, but really only as far as Tar Creek. Grew up on a ranch in rural Moorpark (1970's) next to miles of...
