The thing about the graves being excavated is ringing a distant bell for me - was it some northern tribe of indigenous people (Innuit?) who did something similar somewhere? I wonder if they perhaps belonged to a peculiar religious cult who got notice of The Rapture approaching and had to head for nearby high ground (complete with 'to be risen' dead)?
I'd have thought he'd have had a bit of a head's up if they were that religious, but maybe not, especially if his girlfriend hadn't really bought into it all but was persuaded to go along with her parents, thinking she'd be back in a day. If he worked outside the 'encampment' then others might not have known about it...
