Due to the limited information available publicly about Randy's case, there is little documented speculation about what may have happened to him. The key concerning elements are:
Location of Disappearance: The Upsalquitch area where Randy was last seen is described as being on a walking trail, which could suggest various scenarios from accident to foul play
Transfer to Major Crime Unit: The 2011 transfer of his case to the Major Crime Unit suggests investigators may have developed concerns about criminal involvement
Indigenous Missing Person: Randy's case fits within the broader pattern of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples (MMIP) cases across Canada, where Indigenous individuals face disproportionate rates of violence and disappearance
Long-term Missing Status: After more than 20 years missing, Randy's case represents one of the longer-standing unresolved disappearances in New Brunswick
