Occam's razor and all that - how much knowledge of police jurisdiction would Richey realistically have? - isn't a more obvious interpretation that leaving his car at a notorious suicide spot would mean people would assume him dead and be less likely to hunt him down?

Personally the fact he was living in his car for some time before it was found has always suggested suicide to me. Can anyone explain a good reason for that if he had a plan? Also if he did want to vanish and start a new life, why not take the flight to the USA first? From there he has easy access to two whole continents where virtually no-one would recognise him. He's a high-profile missing person with a bucketload of distinguishing features, and in almost 20 years there's been no credible sightings of him. I just don't buy it, sad to say.
