   . the canyon
lincoln oden knew jaana peet . during the time they both worked on the north rim , oden had talked with jaaana whenever he coulds manufacture a reason to do so .he had invited her out on dates three different times . each invitation was more awkward than the one before .
she had turned him down all three times .
oden fantasized that his assigment to coordinate the search left him an opportunity to be  heroic . he would find jaana . save her . she would be grateful . they would go out . they would fall in love , they would marry . in his fantasy , oden didn't seriously consider the possibility that jaana wouldn't be grateful to him .
but onece he finished interviewing niclolas paulson , oden began to consider the possibility that jaana hadn't disappeared into the colortado river at all , but rather that she had chosen to disappear , periods .
two additional facts helped confirme his suspicion , jaana 's hiking boots had not been recovered along with hert other belongings . and the amount of water that could have been carried in the containers found at her campsite was barely sufficient to accommodate two people making a rim to floor journey in the august heat .
he concluded that jaana had worn the boots and carried themissing water bottles .
