Ben was born in a wooded area 32 miles outside of Portland. I'm thinking the Gorge - near Multnomah Falls.
A few thoughts...
The celebrity status of the "Oceanic 6" - there was obviously a great deal of publicity surrounding their return from the island. Everyone knows who they are. Their story has been told. Or has it?
Jack's testimony at Kate's trial is a cover story. A well rehearsed cover story that the "6" would have to have agreed on and stuck to: the water landing, eight survivors, two of whom died...
Why?
The rest of the group? "Are they still alive?" They've disappeared - the phantom antagonist doesn't know their fate - they are dead (doubtful) or very, very well hidden.
Again, why?
The funeral in Jack's flash forward was unattended and ignored, with only a small obit in the paper. This was not one of the "6" (celebrity status, remember?) But it was someone secretly connected with the island.
And let's not forget Claire's back story. Aaron is possibly the antichrist. Claire is either dead, gave him up voluntarily, or he was taken from her.
I think there's only one thing we know for sure.
Something happens.
