The most bizarre thing is the two crushed chests that somehow didn't display skin trauma. Nothing really explains that. It would take a long fall for that, but I don't read there was any area ridge they could fall off of. But with the skull fracture victim, it's still most likely these folks fell on hard on some rocks. And as you said the woman most likely got eaten by scavengers and the liquid stream took it's toll.

The crushed chests with no "soft tissue" trauma was stumping. They did find the tent crushed for the most part by snow, did that happen before or after they fled.
