They all heard Cam coming quickly up the hallway and turned toward the sound in anticipation.

"They've got her car," she announced as she rounded the corner. "Angela, we need the map."

Angela practically ran to her work station to pull it up. Cam approached and pointed to an area just off one of the yellow roads.

"A patrol spotted it here, last night," she said, pointing at a campground labeled on the map. It was in the middle of the 'dead zone' on Angela's map.

"Last night?" Booth asked. "Why didn't he call it in?"

Cam rolled her eyes at his tone of voice. "Before you go hunt him down and kill him, the BOLO wasn't issued until late. The car was parked in an area that people camp in. When he saw the notice, he went back to be sure before he called it in. The car is still locked and loaded with boxes. He didn't touch it. They are leaving it where it is until we arrive."

"Okay," Angela said, plotting the new information on the map. "Now thanks to Booth, we know she was higher up on the mountain. She only had about four hours to hike before her accident," Angela said more to herself than to the group.

A few more clicks and a newer, much smaller circle appeared on the map. Angela also added a topographic map to show elevation. Eliminating low points, she turned to them with a grin. "We know where to start looking."
