I'd guess he thought he'd take an obscure road to a creek to kayak, and things didn't go as planned.
It reminded me of a debate I had the other day with a security-cam installer who said it's virtually impossible for someone to intentionally disappear nowadays.
My point was that resourceful people can 'stage' a cam-appearance... then hop a bus to a cab-stand in the opposite direction, or whatever.

It's not impossible, "YET", but give it 20 years. Things aren't looking all that promising where privacy is concerned.
I could actually see countries touting privacy, as a way to attract some of the great minds of the world, as well as business, if we keep on this path, we'll be no better than most 3rd world nations as far as production goes.
