Now, the reason why Mike on the fourth day of this nine day trip decided to alter his course made a lot of sense. So even though Mike was technically solo hiking, he was not actually alone. With him was the family dog named Andy, who was a very good natured black lab mix who loved going hiking.

The juvenile's mother, Ashley Prado, had been contacted previously by police, the school, and CPS. She appeared to be dismissive and unconcerned with her son's behavior. Her behavior is not only dangerous, it's abhorrent, especially as a parent. We don't know if he was armed when he showed up at the school in tactical gear and a mask. So he may well have been, but we don't know that right now.

And over the course of the previous day and then into this fourth day, he and Andy had been up at elevation at about 13,000 feet walking on some icy parts of the mountain and Andy's paws were getting really raw from kind of walking on the jagged ice.

And that day, on the fourth day, Mike had noticed Andy was whimpering and struggling to keep up when normally Andy was super energetic and running all around. And he knew that, you know, my course that I'm supposed to be going on for the next few days is going to be going all through these mountains with all this ice. And I don't think Andy can keep up. He's not going to be able to do it.

But the mother assisted him in buying that tactical gear for him and provided him with magazines and ammunition to load those magazines up. Well, I'll tell you one thing. There were some very disturbing things that were found inside the mother's house, that child's house, which also kind of was an indication to us that we needed to move very quickly.

And so he had decided to side skirt the mountains to avoid the ice. And even though this path was definitely going to take him a little bit longer, it would still bring him to the same destination, to that same pickup spot where his wife and his family would be waiting for him.

Now, Mike understood that by deviating his route, not only would his family not know, like they would have no idea where he was, but also this secondary route he'd be taking to save Andy's paws was going to take a little bit longer than the intended course would take. And so he knew he was not going to be there at the time he said he would. So he was not going to be there at noon on the ninth day.

It was going to be maybe the 10th day or beyond. But Mike had planned for this contingency. He had brought extra supplies specifically if he had to extend his journey. And so he felt confident that even though this was a big risk, you know, to take this path that nobody knows he's on, he felt he could do it with no problems.
