Kiparsky and Irwin were unprepared for a long hike in the cold weather. They were last seen at their Airbnb vacation cottage near Inverness, a city in Scotland. The pair did not check out the next day, as planned and even failed to show up for an appointment. Housekeepers who went to the cottage to clean up, found Kiparsky and Irwin’s phones and wallets. Their vehicles were parked outside too. In this case, no foul was suspected. Media reports note that with the help of drones, dive teams and boats, the Marin County Sheriff’s officials were looking for the couple around Inverness for several days.
