Are you suggesting he might have chopped off his hand and left it behind with a backpack to make people think he's dead?
From what I understand is the FBI (or maybe someone tipping them) found some of his belongings, then brought the parents out to identify them. While they were out there, they continued to search, and the dad found some more of his stuff. He didn't make the original discovery.
No, although it is not unfeasible. There have been cases of such extreme lengths eg. faking death, etc. It is unlikely this guy would do that or his parents would go to that length. But what I am saying is that finding one of his hands, legs, ear, etc will not suffice with the public to rule him as dead and the search should continue and not stop.
That is also not what I understood, but you might be right. It might be someone tipping them and having the parents come out. Hopefully, I am wrong and that wasn't the case. Because that would be simply idiotic. I'm sure the FBI is smart enough to check on that tipper and rule out any links to that family. Also, from what I understand they had already searched that specific area, with cadaver dogs, and other high-tech equipment. Can't those canines sniff human remains down to 6-8 ft of water and 15ft in the solid ground? The whole thing just makes you scratch your head and leaves more questions than answers.
I just hope, that with anything else, people simply question. Not to be rebels and conspiracy theorists for self-gratification and self-righteousness, but simply because we have a brain and we must use it.
