that ,, and the erosion thing . you see the canyn from the rim , it looks like the kind of place thaq t swallow people the way canada eats hockey fans . i thought there 'd be a thousand stories about folks vaporizing down there . . but everybody who works for the park service can tell you the names and histories of the few people who vanished down there and have stayed vanished . say that missing girl's name to any of the park rangers , they know wjhat happened , and most of ' em have theories about how it all came down ."
within an hour of reaching the north rim , sam befriended a national park service ranger named ramona marks . she was a woman about his age who had unofficially inherited the task of wet-nursing the mystery of what happened to janna after she vanished . whenever a hiker or a rafter or another ranger discovered a suspicious personal artifact downsttream of jaana's last know campsite , ranger ramona - that's what sam was calling her during our conversation -was th park service officer who checked the lastest find against an inventory she kept close at hand of what it was know that jaana had been wearing or carrrying the night she vanished .
sam described ranger ramona as being " tall like lucy " - his partner on the boulder police force - but having " a stronger frame ." i didn't know exactly what that meant , but that he described her at all got my attention .
ranger ramona had eagerly retrieved the thick investigatory file about jaana's disappearance for sam and sat beside im as she walked him through the records that documented all that had been done initially by the park service to find the woman after it was determined she was missing . sam noted a couple of peculiarities . first , at a time when law enforcement was going digital , almost all thew initial reports were handwritten . second , sam spotted a marked change in enthusiasm and resources for the search after the second day . he mentioned his appraisals to ranger ramona .
"first one ? ranger running the search didn't like computers . handwrote whatever he could . used to bitch that he came to work the canyon because he didn't like technology ." to explain the second .
