Missing hiker (Monica Reza)

For what it's worth, I chatted with a SAR person that was involved in the search. He didn't know anything about the conspiracies or the drama, and he thought a mountain-lion attack was most likely.

Good afternoon everyone! I did some more digging and found the meetup.com event for the Mt. Waterman hike on June 22, 2025. I am not going to post my screenshots or the link to this event since it will share the names of our subjects as well as other members of the group subject A runs. It took me a while to find it but luckily Subject A regularly planned group hikes for the weeks leading up to the 22nd.

At this point, we’ve never shared the names of our subjects, except for Monica. We also never named anyone else explicitly from the volunteer group we were in, in order to maintain everyone’s privacy. I mentioned it above, but I will not be sharing details on this meetup event that would make it searchable or easy to find, although with enough digging deep in this rabbit hole, you might be able to.

Okay so I got a free trial of Meetup Premium which allows me to see full rsvp lists for events. This particular one had an rsvp list of not 3 people, but 13! So hypothetically if nobody had family emergencies or cancelled last minute, 13 people including or not including Monica, went on that hike up to waterman. If let's say, 5 people bailed on their plans due to personal things, 8 people would have shown up for the hike, not 3.

But wait Matthew, what about the other hikes? What was the rsvp turnout on meetup for those?
Well, the attendance online for all of subject A’s hikes range from 9 to 15 for the months of May and June of 2025.

Long story short, rsvp’s aren’t always accurate to in person attendance but 13 people rsvp’ing for a hike and then only 3 people actually going on the hike with 1 of them missing, is just kinda weird…

That is incredibly interesting, Matthew. If we had the names of the 5 hikers who joined the search, then you could compare with the rsp list to see if any of them were late arrivals.

Can you tell how many of Hiker A's hikes Monica rsvp'd to in the months leading up to June 22rd?

I had assumed probably correctly that the 5 hikers A met on the trail & who assisted in the search were outsiders, people unknown beforehand to A's hiking group. However, if some of those 5 were known to the group, then they could have been in touch by phone or walkie-talkie throughout the hike with A or C or possibly Monica before her phone died. They could be witnesses to the events in real time.

So I checked and she hadn't rsvp'd for any of the hikes but she does have a meetup account.

All the people are fake. The info was public the entire time...well, except when it got taken down.

The grabbers in selected spots..they are devious. They planned and picked a meetup to interrupt. So if it were 5 , or 50, they had the magic words of abracadabra...
I haven't a clue what you're talking about.

Sounds like he's explaining how a Sasquatch crew planned and executed this kidnapping using social media and magic. I mean, that's the best theory I've heard so far.
