[12:01pm] Monday, April 15, 2019 > Sol buys an uber to “7230 Squaw Pass Rd, Idaho Springs, CO.” This took her to Mestaa’Ėhehe (formerly Squaw) Pass, a hiking trail.
The uber driver said Sol said she “felt like she could cry” seeing snow for the first time
The driver stated there was seemingly nothing wrong with Sol. The only thing that seemed off was the fact that she had no tent, camping, or winter gear.
Sol only had her bag and the gun case. [FOIA did not include a detailed description of Sol’s belongings.]

The driver gave Sol his phone number/buisness card so that she could “call him if nobody comes to pick her up.” (She told the driver she was hunting with friends who are coming to her location to get her soon.)
This Uber driver is the last person to see Sol alive.

This is the same way in which Eric Harris committed suicide
Sol had no drugs or alcohol in her system at her time of death.
All of Sol’s belongings were found beside her
Sol most likely died instantly.
She died on a very remote mountainside forest at ~11'000 ft elevation with snow and probably subzero temperatures. She was almost certainly very cold based on what we know she was wearing.
[ALL EVENTS AFTER THIS POINT OCCUR WHEN SOL PAIS IS ALREADY DEAD.]
