What if he at some point went to the bathroom and then eventually realized that he can't find his phone?

He goes looking, realizes it's too dark to even search, so he stops and asks a neighboring campsite for a flashlight.

It would explain why he walked off in one direction, then turned around and walked in the other.

Is he looking for something?

Did he get lost?

Did he somehow go into the lake accidentally and was unable to get out?

We were told that Bubba couldn't swim, so that's very possible.

Now, one very interesting thing that came up later after a PI named Luis Carlos and a journalist named Crystal Gutierrez started digging into this case.

They said they followed the coordinates tied to that last phone ping, and they say that it maps out to be in the water.

Now, we know phone pings aren't always precise.

Tower data can be meh.

But if the phone really did end up in the water, that raises questions.

Now, I don't know if this can be ruled out completely because to this day, as far as we know, there have never been any divers out there in the lake to look for Bubba or his belongings.

But people familiar with this lake all told us the same thing.

In many cases, if someone goes into the water, they will eventually resurface.

Because sadly, this kind of thing has happened there before.

People can go missing in this area.

But it's really rare for someone to vanish completely without leaving anything, like even bits of clothing behind, or without their body floating up to the surface if they really went into the lake.

And that is what makes Bubba's disappearance so unsettling.
