I am also sorry for Mrs Bates loss;I am also amazed that if he told her he was going Bowen Ranch to take Speed ,Cocaine and pot and then did not return why did she not call the police immediatley and send them to the ranch instead of Mexico .Also please tell me who he was going to party with at the ranch because I had never metr heard of him . Many cars have been left for periods on the ranch property some for mechanical reasons: some while hiking the P.C.T ,some because some of the people want to dissappear ,and some because some visitors to the area are high, or just plain crazy.It is not Mikes fault that Ronnie died nor that his wife failed to notify the police of his last known wherabouts. As Laughing Bear has said if you had murdered somone would you leave their car on your property for three months and then call the widow and ask for a reward? The police have investigated his dissapearence and found no evidence but I am sure gail (katrina) feels that mike is being protected due to his being a FBI , police, forestry ,B.L.M, N.A.S.A or whatever agency she is currently paranoid about ,or have failed to join her in her vendetta against him. But Gail, please stop using a widow as your pawn and let her grieve and move on with her life. Mrs. Bates has already spent her money on an unsuccessful and unfounded lawsuit against Mike, the police have investigated and found no connection. Please stop encouraging her from posting more unsubstantiated and slanderous statements as facts
