Just bringing this comment across form another forum as I think it reflects something we were discussing here and for me, it's an interesting thought.
"I am looking to ED to see what clues, if any, she may have provided around the time of her disappearance.
On that basis:
On 21st Nov, in a brief discussion with a stranger, Mr. Ballarin, mention of Luchon was clearly at the forefront of her mind.
In two separate subsequent summits to Sauvegarde on 21st and 22nd Nov, ED selected radiantly, carefree smiling poses to send via mobile / social networking.
In each of the selected poses, ED is standing to the side, giving centre pic focus to the valley town of Luchon.
A picture with only her walking poles propped against a boulder, with Luchon again immediately behind in the distant background, is also selected.
In addition to the pictures, Luchon is mentioned, emphasised with an exclamation mark, as well as the specific words “Maybe I can see you!!”” emphasised with a double exclamation mark.
Luchon definitely meant something to ED, imo - and she seemed to spend most of the 22nd hiking in the lower walking areas before going up Sauvegarde, almost as an afterthought. Perhaps she had arranged to meet a person(s), they had been delayed and being a clear sunny afternoon, she decided to take in the summit ? If a new ETA had been arranged and she knew a person(s) was on their way to meet up with her, she probably would not be too concerned.
I feel a person(s) hiked up from the Luchon valley to rendezvous with ED in the Sauvegarde region and arrived under cover of darkness. I have an impression of what may have subsequently occurred, but I cannot say as it may reveal an identity of a person(s). "
