How to Pan for Gold
Go out after a storm. Don’t yell Eureka!I would rather sell the pans and the beans and bacon that fed the miners.
Serious miners use a cradle and mercury.
Really serious placer minors used a water cannon called a monitor.

A Chilling Journey Along Canada’s Highway 16
The story behind Canada’s Highway of Tears feels plucked from a gritty murder mystery, but it’s a grim reality for many of British Columbia’s indigenous residents.http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/25/world/americas/canada-indigenous-women-highway-16.html
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Canadian_Mounted_Police
Austerity has nasty consequences.
The present problem travels the highway through Smithers often.
He (probably) lives there or near there. He knew or found the mother's phone number.
Keeping statistics on the traffic should not be hard.
Matching times and travelers will limit the search to a finite number of vehicles.
Each incident should further limit the search.
A faster result would be better but will require luck.
