このエピソードについて
Every year, park rangers witness tens of millions of people hike into America's national parks. Some mysteriously disappear and end up documented in the Missing 411 phenomenon documentaries and books. The National Park Service manages more than 84 million acres — and does not centrally track how many people go missing on that land. This is a documented fact, confirmed in their own FOIA responses.
David Paulides, a former law enforcement officer with the San Jose Police Department, spent more than a decade filling that gap himself. What he found is the subject of this two-part compilation.
This is The Other Side's full Missing 411 investigation — both episodes compiled for deep sleep, study, and background listening.
Part 1 — The Pattern No Agency Will Explain (00:00)
The Missing 411 database. The geographic clusters across the Sierra Nevada, the Great Smoky Mountains, the Washington Cascades. The recurring characteristics: victims last seen near water, children found in areas that had already been cleared by searchers, scent trails that end in terrain where nothing should have stopped them, decomposition that doesn't match the timeline. The cases: Alfred Bellharts, Dennis Martin, Jared Adado, Dior Coons, and Steven Kubacki — found 1,000 miles from where he disappeared with no memory of the interval.
Part 2 — Disappearances in Plain Sight (39:08)
A different set of files. The Bennington Triangle — five unexplained disappearances across southwestern Vermont in five years. Stacy Anne Areys and the camera lens found near a treeline in Yosemite's High Sierra. Jared Negretti and the final self-portrait taken at elevation on Mount San Gorgonio. David Gonzalez, who went to his parents' truck for cookies and was found months later. Derek Englebson, the snow angel beside an Oregon road, and the tracks that stopped after the snowplow passed. Geraldine "Inchworm" Large — the Appalachian Trail hiker whose campsite was within 100 yards of search dogs on multiple passes.
The pattern does not require a supernatural explanation. It requires an investigation that has never been conducted.
Slow narration. No jump scares. Designed for deep sleep, study, and background listening.
