25 minute drive takes all afternoon and night?
I get that these people are out in the middle of nowhere, but how does a 25 minute drive take the sheriff and his deputy all afternoon and until the end of the night to walk there?

shareOnce a 10 minute drive took me 4 hours to walk...so it kinda makes sense

Yeah really, it takes about 10 minutes to drive out to the Wal-Mart in our area and it would probably take half an hour or about an hour to walk back from there.
share25 minute drive, at say 70 miles per hour limit road. lets assume no stops in between (unrealistic).
This menas that the distance is 29.16 miles. Now, they did not seem to be walking really fast or anything, so we can assume 2-3 miles per hour. This would mean the journey would take them 10-15 hours depending on how fast they were going.

Applied Science? All science is applied. Eventually.
How I wish you had a sixth grade education.
If the 25 min is 20 miles for instance, how long would it take YOU? Have you ever walked 20 miles? I promise it would take you at least 6- 8 hours. Simple math.

Why didn't they just radio for another police car????
Hey Witchdoctor, give us the magic words.
ooh ee ooh ah ah, ting tang wallawallabingba
25 minute drive assuming an average speed of 60mph, is 25 miles. If they were only driving for say 10 minutes that leaves 15 miles. An average walking pace is 2.6mph a fast pace is about 4 mph. Assuming the fat cop cant walk very fast lets for for 3mph in the middle. At that pace doing the 15 miles would take 5 hours assuming no rest breaks. Summer day, with late sunset and early sunrise it seems feasible since the cops did arrive at dawn. I'm going to say they started walking at 10pm had 15 miles to walk, took 2, 15 minute brakes and would therefore take 5 and a half hours to walk it so thats about 3:30am just when the sun starts to rise in mid summer. Seems reasonable.
shareIt wasn't summer though, it was fall, the leaves had already changed and it was cold out.
shareAgain why not radio!?!
