The tragedy dates back to August, when a family died in the desert during an excursion. Mystery about what really happened
After months of the tragedy of the dead family in the desertinvestigators are trying to reconstruct the dynamics of the facts through smartphones.
Jonathan Gerrish45 years old, his wife Ellen35, their one-year-old daughter Miju and the family dog Oski, died on the day of last August. They had decided to take a short vacation to California and hike to the Sierra Nevada.
What does not convince the investigators, however, is the fact that the two parents left with them little water. Maybe they underestimated the heat?
Days after their departure, the babysitter worried about their failure to return and not being able to contact them, she raised the alarm to the police.
After the searches, the rescuers have found the corpses of the whole family. All a few meters away, except that of Jonathan Gerrish and little Miju. The little girl died in her father’s arms.
From the first hypotheses. investigators thought they were dead from the too hot. Today, months later, new clues have emerged from the 45-year-old man’s cell phone.
Before finding death Jonathan has asked for help to some acquaintances. Their departure, according to the messages, was at 7 am and until 11 am the family was enjoying the excursion. The panoramic photos and family selfies testify to this.
The man’s concern comes after 11:00, when he sends an acquaintance of his sms. In the text he writes: “You can help us? We are on the Savage Lundy Trail towards the Hiters Trail. No water, very hot, with the child “.
However, there is no field on site and that message is not delivered. So dad tries to make some calls, but he can’t. He takes more photos, perhaps to try and post his location. Other calls follow, all directed to acquaintances. However, none of these reach the recipient.
The question of the investigators is now only one. Because Jonathan Gerrish called friends for help and didn’t call i emergency numbers? Why didn’t he alarm health workers or law enforcement?
We don’t know the cause … But we won’t stop until we find out. There are no obvious indicators of how this happened… you have two healthy adults, you have a healthy daughter and what appeared to be a healthy dog, all of which died within the same area.
