Unless you know somebody with a boat, the only way off this island is to fly, and that requires ID and is highly traceable. Did Bo know someone with a boat willing to risk aiding him or someone who could forge an ID convincing enough to fly under? Living under the radar is possible on the Big Island, but usually requires a support system in place before going underground. Somehow I don't think this young man has such a support system. I suppose he might have the survival skills to be scrounging along in a forest reserve somewhere, but even then, it would be tough. I fully expect to see this story on Dateline or some such broadcast, whether there are ever any definitive answers or not. I am truly sorry for the suffering of both families. I can't even begin to imagine their anguish.
