NIGHT FLIGHT - 12 Hour Weekend Sleep Stream - Missing and More with Steve Stockton Pt 4

WEBVTT
1
00:00:07.429 --> 00:00:12.599
Whispers in the dark night shadows vanished.
2
00:00:11.939 --> 00:00:13.740
Like a phantom's breath.
3
00:00:15.460 --> 00:00:17.100
Where did they go?
4
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:19.160
Only ghosts know.
5
00:00:19.739 --> 00:00:23.280
Mystery wrapped in cold, silent death.
6
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:31.940
Streets deserted and echoes caught.
7
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:41.090
Footsteps fading to thin air. Haunted tales that keep on crawling.
8
00:00:41.189 --> 00:00:45.070
Life just vanished, no signs, nowhere.
9
00:00:45.450 --> 00:00:51.810
Gone without a trace, winds are mourning. Secrets hidden in
10
00:00:51.869 --> 00:00:58.299
the mist. Steve Stockton's tales keep the fire burning in
11
00:00:58.399 --> 00:00:59.979
a world where truth.
12
00:01:06.540 --> 00:01:11.909
Number six, Jacob Wing. 45-year-old Jacob Wing was last seen
13
00:01:11.969 --> 00:01:15.310
on Friday, July 10, 2020, on the Old Baldy Trail
14
00:01:15.469 --> 00:01:19.310
in the Madeira Canyon in the Coronado National Forest in Tucson, Arizona.
15
00:01:20.650 --> 00:01:22.549
According to the few media reports that have been made
16
00:01:22.590 --> 00:01:25.329
about Jacob's disappearance, he and a friend entered the canyon
17
00:01:25.390 --> 00:01:29.959
on July 11, 2020, and shortly after became separated. The
18
00:01:29.980 --> 00:01:32.680
friend tried to look for Jacob, but the mass expanse
19
00:01:32.700 --> 00:01:35.700
of the forest made it difficult. so instead he contacted
20
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:39.000
the Pima County Sheriff's Office to officially report his friend missing.
21
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:42.640
Jacob was believed to be carrying a phone at the time,
22
00:01:42.819 --> 00:01:44.540
but it is likely that he did not have a
23
00:01:44.579 --> 00:01:48.189
signal in the forest. The Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office
24
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.250
also joined in on the investigation, and together, the two
25
00:01:51.310 --> 00:01:53.930
forces headed out into the forest to try and find Jacob.
26
00:01:54.569 --> 00:01:56.969
They were later accompanied by the Department of Public Safety
27
00:01:57.030 --> 00:01:59.650
Rangers and Border Patrol in an attempt to locate him quickly.
28
00:01:59.670 --> 00:02:02.390
A search and rescue helicopter took to the skies for
29
00:02:02.430 --> 00:02:05.969
several days during the searches, but ultimately nothing was ever found.
30
00:02:07.150 --> 00:02:10.069
Multiple trails and mountains were searched, looking for any sign
31
00:02:10.110 --> 00:02:12.909
of Jacob, and his friend told investigators he had no
32
00:02:13.009 --> 00:02:16.060
idea which trail Jacob had headed down when they got separated.
33
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:19.800
Investigators and search and rescue crews continued to search for
34
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:23.159
Jacob until July 13th, when the search was officially called off.
35
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:28.199
All the information available about Jacob's disappearance is brief, and
36
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.159
in a statement to the media, Sheriff Tony Estrada of
37
00:02:31.180 --> 00:02:34.370
the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office said We really don't
38
00:02:34.409 --> 00:02:36.689
know what we have right now, and we don't want
39
00:02:36.710 --> 00:02:41.490
to speculate on any one thing. Jacob's girlfriend, friend, and
40
00:02:41.530 --> 00:02:44.680
family members were all interviewed, but so far no evidence
41
00:02:44.689 --> 00:02:48.319
has come to light. There was a bizarre twist added
42
00:02:48.340 --> 00:02:51.460
to Jacob's case on July 17, 2020, when the Green
43
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.979
Valley News reported that there was a possible witness. According
44
00:02:55.020 --> 00:02:57.819
to this article, a hunter ventured down the canyon on
45
00:02:57.860 --> 00:02:58.819
July 15, 2020, and saw a man who he is
46
00:02:58.819 --> 00:03:04.219
100% sure was Jacob Wang. The hunter had a brief
47
00:03:04.259 --> 00:03:06.840
interaction with the man at around 9.15 a.m. that morning
48
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:09.319
and said the man did not appear to be in
49
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:13.229
distress and did not ask for assistance. Investigators have never
50
00:03:13.270 --> 00:03:15.310
confirmed this sighting and it brings about a whole new
51
00:03:15.349 --> 00:03:19.310
set of theories. Unfortunately, Jacob's case has not been entered
52
00:03:19.349 --> 00:03:21.849
into NamUs, but it appears that the Santa Cruz and
53
00:03:21.930 --> 00:03:26.300
Pima County Sheriff's offices are continuing to work on his case. Currently,
54
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:28.719
there are no further plans to search the Madeira Canyon
55
00:03:28.900 --> 00:03:31.080
and Jacob's family and friends are hopeful that one day
56
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:35.340
they will have answers. Anyone with any information about Jacob
57
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.150
is asked to please contact the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's
58
00:03:38.210 --> 00:03:40.650
Office at 520-761-7869 or the Pima County Sheriff's Office at 520-351-4650.
59
00:03:40.650 --> 00:03:43.729
57-year-old Robert Perry Bissell was a keen outdoorsman and experienced
60
00:03:43.889 --> 00:04:01.650
hiker and hunter. When not working, Robert could be found
61
00:04:01.689 --> 00:04:04.090
spending time in the great outdoors, and over his lifetime
62
00:04:04.129 --> 00:04:06.849
he had been on hundreds of hunting and hiking expeditions
63
00:04:06.909 --> 00:04:10.539
in the United States. Living in Portland, Oregon gave Robert
64
00:04:10.580 --> 00:04:14.520
access to plenty of wilderness spaces, and on July 12, 2010,
65
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:16.639
Robert packed his gear and headed for the Roaring River
66
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:20.129
Wilderness Area in the Mount Hood National Forest. On the
67
00:04:20.170 --> 00:04:23.370
morning of July 12, 2010, Robert pulled up to the
68
00:04:23.410 --> 00:04:27.470
Trailhead 700 in his white 1989 Nissan Sentra and found
69
00:04:27.509 --> 00:04:30.259
a place to park. He then hiked around five miles
70
00:04:30.300 --> 00:04:34.180
to reach his final destination, Middle Rock Lake. Robert set
71
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:37.019
up camp just off Trail No. 512 and should have
72
00:04:37.060 --> 00:04:39.439
settled in for the night, but it was then that
73
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:42.699
something strange happened. Robert had been gone for a few
74
00:04:42.740 --> 00:04:46.360
days and his brother was starting to worry. Robert usually
75
00:04:46.420 --> 00:04:48.300
ventured into the woods for a few days at a time,
76
00:04:48.500 --> 00:04:50.279
but he always made sure to keep in touch with
77
00:04:50.339 --> 00:04:55.379
his family. On July 19, 2010, Robert's brother went into
78
00:04:55.420 --> 00:04:58.230
Mount Hood National Forest in search of his brother. He
79
00:04:58.250 --> 00:05:00.829
came across the camp that Robert had made, along with
80
00:05:00.910 --> 00:05:03.370
a note that made it appear though Robert was gone
81
00:05:03.410 --> 00:05:05.209
for a night or two and would be back soon.
82
00:05:06.490 --> 00:05:08.730
Robert had left behind his sleeping bag and hiking gear,
83
00:05:09.290 --> 00:05:11.009
and the only thing that was missing was his fishing
84
00:05:11.110 --> 00:05:15.750
rod and tackle. Five days later, on July 24th, 2010,
85
00:05:15.750 --> 00:05:18.290
Robert's brother officially reported him missing when he failed to
86
00:05:18.329 --> 00:05:21.709
make contact. It was now clear that Robert had not
87
00:05:21.750 --> 00:05:23.910
gone on a quick overnight hike and that he was
88
00:05:23.949 --> 00:05:28.529
possibly in danger. The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office responded to
89
00:05:28.569 --> 00:05:31.089
the incident, sending officers and putting the call out for
90
00:05:31.129 --> 00:05:35.230
search and rescue teams. In the coming hours, dozens of
91
00:05:35.269 --> 00:05:38.009
volunteers and the Clackamas County Search and Rescue Unit had
92
00:05:38.050 --> 00:05:40.790
arrived to help look for Robert. As word spread of
93
00:05:40.829 --> 00:05:44.569
his disappearance, more resources poured in, with help coming from helicopters,
94
00:05:45.069 --> 00:05:50.490
search dogs, 4x4 vehicles, the Air Force Reserve 304th Rescue Squadron,
95
00:05:51.029 --> 00:05:55.639
and the Pacific Northwest Search and Rescue Unit. According to reports,
96
00:05:55.860 --> 00:05:58.259
the efforts were heavily focused on the Rock Lakes Basin
97
00:05:58.459 --> 00:06:01.480
and the trails that lead to it. With Robert carrying
98
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:03.620
his fishing gear, it's likely he may have headed down
99
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:07.990
that way before disappearing. Unfortunately, no sign of Robert has
100
00:06:08.050 --> 00:06:10.629
ever been found, despite an extensive search of Mount Hood
101
00:06:10.670 --> 00:06:15.089
National Forest. Investigators and others working on Robert's case made
102
00:06:15.129 --> 00:06:18.009
sure to check every single area and possible trail, but
103
00:06:18.050 --> 00:06:21.360
nothing was ever found. The search was eventually called off
104
00:06:21.500 --> 00:06:24.410
and his family were left in limbo. To this day,
105
00:06:24.610 --> 00:06:27.389
what happened to Robert is still unknown, and while there
106
00:06:27.410 --> 00:06:30.750
are not any active searches, investigators are still looking into
107
00:06:30.810 --> 00:06:34.389
his case. It's believed that Robert left his base camp
108
00:06:34.470 --> 00:06:37.800
multiple times to go fishing and hunting, and witnesses recall
109
00:06:37.829 --> 00:06:39.709
speaking to him as he was setting up his camp
110
00:06:39.810 --> 00:06:44.879
on July 12th of 2010. As of this date, Robert's body, clothes,
111
00:06:44.939 --> 00:06:48.180
and fishing gear remain missing, and investigators believe that he
112
00:06:48.220 --> 00:06:51.319
became injured during his hike. The terrain in Mount Hood
113
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:54.569
National Forest is very rough, and the Charlie Project even
114
00:06:54.610 --> 00:06:56.569
reported that horses who helped in the search had to
115
00:06:56.610 --> 00:07:01.069
have their shoes replaced as a result. Robert Perry Bissell
116
00:07:01.269 --> 00:07:04.209
was last seen near Trail 512 at Middle Rock Lake
117
00:07:04.860 --> 00:07:08.019
on July 12, 2010. He is described as a white
118
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.220
male with gray hair, green eyes, standing 5 foot 5
119
00:07:11.220 --> 00:07:15.300
inches tall, and weighing somewhere between 135 to 150 pounds.
120
00:07:16.740 --> 00:07:19.579
Anyone with any information is asked to please contact the
121
00:07:19.610 --> 00:07:26.990
Clackamas County Sheriff's Office at 503- 785-5140 and reference case
122
00:07:27.029 --> 00:07:38.560
number 2010-22782. Number four, John Stuart Campbell. 18 year old
123
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.540
John Stuart Campbell of Arcata, California was a bright and
124
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:45.060
promising student at Humboldt State University. John had his whole
125
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:46.889
life ahead of him and he was eager to complete
126
00:07:46.930 --> 00:07:50.649
his college degree and find his place in the world. Unfortunately,
127
00:07:51.189 --> 00:07:53.870
John was robbed of that chance, and now his family
128
00:07:53.910 --> 00:07:57.829
are seeking answers and justice. John was last seen, last
129
00:07:57.889 --> 00:08:01.910
time on February 16, 1985, on the campus of Humboldt
130
00:08:01.930 --> 00:08:06.149
State University. There are very few details available in John's case,
131
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:08.839
and all we know is that a residence hall advisor,
132
00:08:08.860 --> 00:08:11.680
or an RA, reported him missing after he had not
133
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:14.540
been seen or heard from for a few days. The
134
00:08:14.579 --> 00:08:17.720
school informed John's parents, who immediately launched their own search
135
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:21.100
for their son. The Humboldt State University Police Department took
136
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:23.019
on the case and within a few days, the first
137
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:27.470
clue had emerged. In the days after his disappearance, John's
138
00:08:27.509 --> 00:08:31.029
car was found abandoned in a wilderness area. Reports do
139
00:08:31.069 --> 00:08:33.590
not state when his car was found or even in
140
00:08:33.710 --> 00:08:37.649
which wilderness area it was found. According to University Police
141
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.580
Chief Don Peterson, there were no signs of a robbery
142
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:43.220
at the scene and since then, the case has remained
143
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:47.039
a complete mystery. The prevailing theory is that John was
144
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:49.899
taken against his will in his car. Aside from that,
145
00:08:50.059 --> 00:08:53.460
no plausible leads have ever been found. The reports available
146
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:55.799
to us do not indicate whether the car was processed
147
00:08:55.850 --> 00:08:59.549
for forensic evidence, and there's little follow-up in John's case, period.
148
00:09:00.789 --> 00:09:03.230
The search for John slowly wound down, but that doesn't
149
00:09:03.269 --> 00:09:06.269
mean the authorities have given up on his case. John
150
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:08.940
Stewart Campbell was last seen on the campus of Humboldt
151
00:09:08.980 --> 00:09:13.690
State University on February 16th, 1985. He's described as a
152
00:09:13.730 --> 00:09:17.350
white male with blonde hair, blue eyes, standing 5'11, and
153
00:09:17.370 --> 00:09:21.769
weighing 160 pounds. The Charlie Project does note that at
154
00:09:21.789 --> 00:09:24.460
the time of his disappearance, John was suffering from depression
155
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.600
and had some discoloration and freckles on his skin. He
156
00:09:28.620 --> 00:09:31.240
was last seen wearing a knee-length gray or green trench
157
00:09:31.299 --> 00:09:35.570
coat and was carrying his wallet. Anyone with any information,
158
00:09:36.250 --> 00:09:43.899
please contact the Humboldt State University Police at 707-826-5500 and
159
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.399
reference case number 0908017712562. Number 3, Thomas James Crump. On
160
00:09:46.480 --> 00:10:00.090
October 9th, 1993, Number 3. Thomas James Carlton On October 9th, 1993,
161
00:10:00.090 --> 00:10:03.200
44-year-old Thomas James Carlton left his home in Newcomb, New
162
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.980
York at around 6 a.m. The morning was bright, the
163
00:10:07.019 --> 00:10:09.700
air was crisp, and Thomas knew that his upcoming three-day
164
00:10:09.740 --> 00:10:11.960
hike in the high peaks of the Adirondacks was going
165
00:10:11.980 --> 00:10:14.580
to be a good one. Not much is known about
166
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:18.259
Thomas' hike or his disappearance, and investigators later found out
167
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:20.629
that he did not take a tent or stove with him.
168
00:10:21.350 --> 00:10:23.889
Thomas had planned on staying in lean-to's along his way.
169
00:10:24.389 --> 00:10:27.230
Lean-to's are often featured in national parks and forests and
170
00:10:27.269 --> 00:10:29.809
provide hikers and campers with a safe place to cook
171
00:10:29.870 --> 00:10:33.210
or hang out. Often, multiple people will sleep and use
172
00:10:33.250 --> 00:10:35.250
the lean-to, and it's a great place for hikers to
173
00:10:35.289 --> 00:10:40.269
meet and share their stories and have some good company. Adirondack.net
174
00:10:40.409 --> 00:10:42.909
advises those wishing to stay in these lean-to's that they
175
00:10:42.929 --> 00:10:45.590
should bring a tent, just in case the lean-to's are full.
176
00:10:46.870 --> 00:10:49.330
Thomas' wife knew of his plans for a solo hike
177
00:10:49.450 --> 00:10:51.409
and when his due date arrived and there was no
178
00:10:51.490 --> 00:10:54.970
sign of him, she reported him missing. Thomas had also
179
00:10:55.049 --> 00:10:57.120
failed to report to work at the state prison in
180
00:10:57.169 --> 00:11:00.919
New York where he was a psychologist. This sent alarm
181
00:11:00.940 --> 00:11:03.460
bells ringing in his wife's head as she knew that
182
00:11:03.500 --> 00:11:05.940
Thomas was devoted to his work and would not miss
183
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:09.720
a single day without letting anyone know. The New York
184
00:11:09.740 --> 00:11:12.860
State Police quickly became involved in Thomas' case and they
185
00:11:12.899 --> 00:11:16.389
set about interviewing those on the trail that day. Two
186
00:11:16.429 --> 00:11:18.929
hikers came forward claiming that they had shared a lean-to
187
00:11:18.950 --> 00:11:22.149
with Thomas on the Indian Pass Trail four miles southwest
188
00:11:22.220 --> 00:11:25.120
of where he had parked his car. Reports do not
189
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.519
state on which date they shared the lean-to, though. According
190
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.919
to these hikers, Thomas was planning on heading up Indian Pass.
191
00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:35.379
As morning came, Thomas bid his farewells and began his
192
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.570
hike toward that area. This alleged sighting was likely the
193
00:11:39.610 --> 00:11:43.450
last time Thomas was ever seen alive. Police and search
194
00:11:43.470 --> 00:11:46.200
and rescue crews scoured the area but their attempts were
195
00:11:46.220 --> 00:11:49.559
hampered by adverse weather. Still, they battled through the rain
196
00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:54.080
and snow, but ultimately found nothing. Thomas James Carlton is
197
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:58.460
described as a white male with brown hair, blue eyes, 5'11, tall,
198
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:02.080
and weighs 170 pounds. Thomas sometimes goes by the nickname
199
00:12:02.139 --> 00:12:05.879
Tom and wears prescription glasses. He was last seen wearing
200
00:12:05.899 --> 00:12:09.639
a beige wool sweater, a maroon Gore-Tex coat, navy Gore-Tex
201
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:13.309
pants over olive green military pants, a red wool cap,
202
00:12:13.649 --> 00:12:18.090
hiking boots, and a teal backpack. Anyone with any information
203
00:12:18.330 --> 00:12:20.509
is asked to please contact the New York State Police
204
00:12:21.529 --> 00:12:34.159
at 518-897-2000 and reference case 93-612. Number two, Jeremy Ivan Childress.
205
00:12:34.179 --> 00:12:38.220
31-year-old Jeremy Ivan Childress was described as a kind and
206
00:12:38.259 --> 00:12:40.710
caring person who was close to his family and loved
207
00:12:40.730 --> 00:12:44.639
to spend time outdoors. Jeremy was an expert hunter and
208
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:47.379
often participated in the annual hunting season with his friends
209
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:50.820
and family. Back at home, Jeremy was married and the
210
00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:53.320
couple had two children, and Jeremy is said to have
211
00:12:53.340 --> 00:12:59.440
been an attentive and loving father and husband. On October 17, 2004, Jeremy,
212
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:03.399
his friend Shane Louie, and Shane's son, Shane Jr., hopped
213
00:13:03.419 --> 00:13:06.179
into their truck and headed into the Tillamook National Forest.
214
00:13:07.230 --> 00:13:09.610
The three agreed to head out into Tillamook County, Oregon,
215
00:13:09.769 --> 00:13:12.600
and they were excited about their upcoming hunt. The three
216
00:13:12.620 --> 00:13:15.080
set up a base camp equipped with everything they would need.
217
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:17.759
Later on in the day, the three were heading back
218
00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:21.759
to their camp when they became lost. Jeremy soon separated
219
00:13:21.820 --> 00:13:23.820
away from the group and he was now lost too.
220
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:27.850
Shane and Shane Jr. tried shouting for Jeremy and looking
221
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:30.570
for him, but it was as if he disappeared into
222
00:13:30.629 --> 00:13:33.509
thin air. The father and son duo finally made it
223
00:13:33.529 --> 00:13:35.450
back to camp and noticed that there was still no
224
00:13:35.490 --> 00:13:38.529
sign of Jeremy. He had left all his overnight equipment
225
00:13:38.570 --> 00:13:42.269
behind and everything else was untouched. Shane Louie knew that
226
00:13:42.309 --> 00:13:45.789
something was very wrong right away, and Jeremy, an experienced
227
00:13:45.830 --> 00:13:48.559
hunter and outdoorsman, would never have left his things behind.
228
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:52.720
Shane contacted the Tillamook County Sheriff's Office, and within the hour,
229
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:57.200
investigators were on the scene. According to Shane, he last
230
00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:59.919
saw Jeremy at Succa Creek Road and Boundary Road at
231
00:13:59.940 --> 00:14:05.059
around 4.30 p.m. before he mysteriously vanished. A wide-scale search
232
00:14:05.100 --> 00:14:08.389
for Jeremy was organized, with investigators and search and rescue
233
00:14:08.409 --> 00:14:13.129
teams painstakingly combing over the forest. Tillamook National Forest is
234
00:14:13.169 --> 00:14:16.149
filled with rocky and difficult terrain and it is plausible
235
00:14:16.230 --> 00:14:18.490
that Jeremy became injured while trying to find his way
236
00:14:18.529 --> 00:14:22.940
back to camp. His mother, Becky Grimes, told the Statesman Journal,
237
00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:26.019
I still have hope that one day he'll be found.
238
00:14:26.779 --> 00:14:28.480
I'd much rather have him here with us than up
239
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.259
there on that mountain. I still can't go up there.
240
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:34.750
This is not about me. I want this to focus
241
00:14:34.830 --> 00:14:38.309
on my son and that he's still missing. This needs
242
00:14:38.350 --> 00:14:41.450
to be kept out there. It's not the not knowing.
243
00:14:42.139 --> 00:14:47.299
but I do have hope. In 2006, Jeremy's wife had
244
00:14:47.340 --> 00:14:52.299
him declared deceased in absentia. Jeremy Childress was last seen
245
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:56.460
on October 17, 2004, and described as a white male
246
00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:59.929
with brown hair, brown eyes, standing 5 foot 10 inches
247
00:14:59.970 --> 00:15:03.990
tall and weighing 170 pounds. At the time of his disappearance,
248
00:15:04.230 --> 00:15:07.149
Jeremy was carrying a rifle, a wallet, his car keys,
249
00:15:07.730 --> 00:15:10.370
half a pack of Marlboro Red cigarettes, and possibly a
250
00:15:10.470 --> 00:15:14.379
pocket knife. Jeremy has previous fractures to the fingers on
251
00:15:14.419 --> 00:15:17.620
his right hand, two crooked upper front teeth with the
252
00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:21.440
left one being chipped. He also has the following tattoos,
253
00:15:22.370 --> 00:15:26.190
a dolphin and the number 14376 on his right shoulder
254
00:15:26.669 --> 00:15:30.450
and a rising phoenix on his left shoulder. At the
255
00:15:30.470 --> 00:15:33.190
time of his disappearance, he was also sporting a mustache.
256
00:15:34.690 --> 00:15:37.269
He was last seen wearing a dark brown Carhartt jacket,
257
00:15:37.889 --> 00:15:42.250
blue Levi jeans, a blue Nike cap, brown Copeland hiking boots,
258
00:15:42.929 --> 00:15:46.090
a silver citizen watch, and a gold wedding band with
259
00:15:46.129 --> 00:15:51.100
five diamonds set diagonally. Anyone with any information is asked
260
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:53.639
to please contact the Tillamook County Sheriff's Office at 503-842-2561
261
00:15:53.659 --> 00:15:57.080
and reference case 2004-14591. And number one, David Milton Crouch.
262
00:16:09.509 --> 00:16:12.929
27-year-old David Milton Crouch of Stevensville, Maryland, was an avid
263
00:16:12.970 --> 00:16:16.799
cyclist and enjoyed everything bike-related. He even owned a bike
264
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:19.159
shop with his wife, and the two were living their
265
00:16:19.179 --> 00:16:24.179
dreams and pursuing their passion while also making money. Unfortunately,
266
00:16:24.340 --> 00:16:26.440
the bubble of freedom and bliss was broken on a
267
00:16:26.460 --> 00:16:32.009
breezy autumn day. August 31, 1997, David left his home
268
00:16:32.250 --> 00:16:35.610
for what would be the last time. David, along with
269
00:16:35.629 --> 00:16:39.220
three friends, were hiking through the Bridger-Teton National Forest thanks
270
00:16:39.259 --> 00:16:43.159
to the help of a guide. The Bridger-Teton National Forest
271
00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:46.259
is located in western Wyoming, over 2,000 miles away from
272
00:16:46.299 --> 00:16:48.799
his home in Maryland, and it's unlikely that any of
273
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:52.000
the group would have been familiar with the forest. During
274
00:16:52.019 --> 00:16:55.860
the hike on August 31st of 1997, David became separated
275
00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:58.419
from the group, and according to reports, it appears as
276
00:16:58.460 --> 00:17:00.820
though he headed off on a solo hike to Island Lake.
277
00:17:01.899 --> 00:17:04.079
The Doe Network states that David was last seen at
278
00:17:04.099 --> 00:17:07.660
the lake, although this has not been confirmed by law enforcement.
279
00:17:09.140 --> 00:17:11.809
David intended to fish at Island Lake before returning to
280
00:17:11.849 --> 00:17:15.589
the group, but that unfortunately never happened. When the group
281
00:17:15.630 --> 00:17:18.750
realized he was missing, they retraced their steps and began
282
00:17:18.789 --> 00:17:22.150
looking for him everywhere. As night fell, the group were
283
00:17:22.190 --> 00:17:24.380
forced to retreat to their base camp at Lost Lake
284
00:17:24.650 --> 00:17:27.559
and wait out the night. The next morning, the four
285
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:29.359
peered out of their tent to find that David was
286
00:17:29.380 --> 00:17:32.519
still missing, and that's when they contacted the Sublette County
287
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:37.180
Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff's Office, along with search and rescue teams,
288
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:41.119
flooded into the Bridger-Teton National Forest looking for any sign
289
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:44.170
of the man. Over the evening of August 31st into
290
00:17:44.210 --> 00:17:47.769
September 1st, the temperatures had plummeted and now there were
291
00:17:47.809 --> 00:17:51.789
great concerns for David's well-being. As the solo fishing trip
292
00:17:51.829 --> 00:17:54.049
had been impromptu, he had not taken any of his
293
00:17:54.089 --> 00:17:58.759
supplies with him, including a sleeping bag or warm clothing. Eventually,
294
00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:01.400
the search was called off and despite combing the forest,
295
00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:04.220
the Sublette County Sheriff's Office was unable to find any
296
00:18:04.259 --> 00:18:08.069
sign of David. Investigators believe that he perished due to
297
00:18:08.089 --> 00:18:11.150
the elements and low temperatures that night and it's possible
298
00:18:11.230 --> 00:18:13.230
that he may have been injured along the way and
299
00:18:13.250 --> 00:18:17.460
was unable to call for help. David Milton Crouch was
300
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:21.920
last seen on August 31, 1997 in the Bridger-Teton National Forest.
301
00:18:23.259 --> 00:18:25.319
He is described as a white male with brown hair,
302
00:18:25.940 --> 00:18:30.930
standing 5'10 tall and weighing 175 pounds. He was last
303
00:18:30.970 --> 00:18:34.180
seen wearing jeans and a flannel shirt And anyone with
304
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:37.089
any information is asked to contact the Sublette County Sheriff's
305
00:18:37.170 --> 00:18:49.180
Office at 307-367-4378 and reference case number 97-2891. Number 10,
306
00:18:49.180 --> 00:18:53.900
Michael William Doan. 47-year-old Michael Doan of Las Vegas, Nevada
307
00:18:54.019 --> 00:18:55.640
had hit a rough patch in his life in 2009.
308
00:18:55.619 --> 00:18:58.640
He had been out of work for some time and
309
00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:02.440
this was causing him anguish and mental pain. Michael's living
310
00:19:02.460 --> 00:19:05.910
girlfriend said that in January of 2009, Michael was depressed
311
00:19:05.970 --> 00:19:09.549
and unhappy and desperately wanted life to get better. On
312
00:19:09.569 --> 00:19:13.549
January 28th, 2009, Michael and his girlfriend got into an argument,
313
00:19:13.690 --> 00:19:16.490
which resulted in Michael getting into his car and leaving home.
314
00:19:17.710 --> 00:19:19.859
His girlfriend believed that Michael was just trying to drive
315
00:19:19.900 --> 00:19:23.380
to clear his head, but he never returned home. There
316
00:19:23.420 --> 00:19:26.539
are a few details about Michael's disappearance, and all we
317
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.099
know is that on January 29th, 2009, His car was
318
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:33.359
found in the Desert National Wildlife Range by Park Ranger.
319
00:19:34.299 --> 00:19:37.140
The car was found 40 miles away from Interstate 95
320
00:19:37.140 --> 00:19:41.130
and Lee Canyon Road. According to the Charlie Project, the
321
00:19:41.170 --> 00:19:44.250
Ranger saw footprints leading away from the vehicle, but there
322
00:19:44.269 --> 00:19:47.430
was no sign of Michael. There have been little to
323
00:19:47.470 --> 00:19:49.970
no reports about Michael's disappearance, and we do not know
324
00:19:50.230 --> 00:19:53.230
to what extent the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police searched for him.
325
00:19:54.410 --> 00:19:56.779
Phone records indicated that shortly after he walked out of
326
00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:59.220
the house, he tried to call his girlfriend, but the
327
00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:03.119
call never went through. This is the last known movement
328
00:20:03.220 --> 00:20:05.859
of Michael Doan and he has been missing ever since.
329
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:09.079
Michael Doan is described as a white male with gray
330
00:20:09.099 --> 00:20:12.640
and brown hair blue eyes, stands approximately 5 foot 10
331
00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:17.170
inches tall and weighs around 180 pounds. Michael has the
332
00:20:17.210 --> 00:20:21.490
following tattoos, a longhorn skull on his chest, an eagle
333
00:20:21.630 --> 00:20:24.529
on his back, a Tasmanian devil on his left shoulder,
334
00:20:25.089 --> 00:20:27.480
and a picture of the Beatles on his right shoulder.
335
00:20:28.619 --> 00:20:31.900
According to both NamUs and The Charlie Project, Michael was
336
00:20:31.940 --> 00:20:35.019
last seen wearing a yellow jacket, blue jeans, and black shoes.
337
00:20:36.390 --> 00:20:39.809
Anyone with any information regarding Michael or his disappearance is
338
00:20:39.890 --> 00:20:42.769
asked to contact Dan Holley of the Las Vegas Metropolitan
339
00:20:42.789 --> 00:20:45.539
Police Department at 702-828-3111. Reference case number 090131-0936. Number 9.
340
00:20:45.539 --> 00:20:49.700
Lee Sterling Cutler 18-year-old Lee Sterling Cutler was described as
341
00:20:49.740 --> 00:21:08.289
a kind, responsible, an outgoing person who wanted nothing more
342
00:21:08.390 --> 00:21:12.460
than to ease the pain of others. While attending Adlai E.
343
00:21:12.470 --> 00:21:16.039
Stevenson High School in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, Lee founded a
344
00:21:16.059 --> 00:21:20.740
group called BBYO, a Jewish youth organization that hosted events
345
00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:23.160
and acted as support for those who observed the Jewish
346
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:26.829
faith within the community. Lee was a shining star within
347
00:21:26.849 --> 00:21:29.869
the group and was dedicated to them. He never missed
348
00:21:29.910 --> 00:21:32.210
an event and was always there to support someone when
349
00:21:32.230 --> 00:21:36.380
they needed it. In 2006, Lee started showing signs of
350
00:21:36.420 --> 00:21:40.099
depression and expressed that he wanted to harm himself, possibly
351
00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:44.019
take his own life. This manifested in Lee taking a
352
00:21:44.059 --> 00:21:46.440
knife into school as he explained he could bear the
353
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:50.740
pain no longer. Thankfully, Lee got the help he needed
354
00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:54.950
and was hospitalized and given therapy. After this, Lee was
355
00:21:54.990 --> 00:21:57.630
slowly getting his life back on track and was looking
356
00:21:57.690 --> 00:22:00.890
forward to the future. He had plans to either continue
357
00:22:00.910 --> 00:22:06.109
his education or maybe start something different altogether. By 2007,
358
00:22:06.109 --> 00:22:09.150
Lee was in his senior year, and it was time
359
00:22:09.170 --> 00:22:12.920
to decide his future. Lee had many plans and thought
360
00:22:12.980 --> 00:22:15.380
long and hard about what he wanted to do, but
361
00:22:15.420 --> 00:22:18.259
before he could enact those plans, he would disappear under
362
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:23.839
bizarre circumstances. On October 19, 2007, Lee spent the night
363
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:26.359
at a friend's house and promised to call his mother, Beth,
364
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:29.339
in the morning. Beth waited all morning for her son
365
00:22:29.369 --> 00:22:30.619
to call her and let her know that he was
366
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:33.329
safe and that he made it to work. Sadly, that
367
00:22:33.369 --> 00:22:36.470
call never came. Lee was due to start his shift
368
00:22:36.509 --> 00:22:39.069
at the clothing store where he worked part-time the next morning,
369
00:22:39.450 --> 00:22:41.890
and his employers knew that he was a reliable employee.
370
00:22:42.549 --> 00:22:44.849
So when he failed to show up, no call, no show,
371
00:22:45.349 --> 00:22:48.970
they knew something was wrong. His mother also sensed that
372
00:22:49.009 --> 00:22:52.299
something was wrong. It wasn't unusual for him to forget
373
00:22:52.339 --> 00:22:55.660
to charge his phone, but this time things just somehow
374
00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:59.500
felt different. Throughout the day, Beth called the store where
375
00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:02.019
Lee worked and asked if he'd shown up, but he hadn't.
376
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:06.559
By 5 p.m., Beth was beside herself with worry, and
377
00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:09.140
after calling the clothing store for a final time, she
378
00:23:09.180 --> 00:23:14.440
then immediately dialed 911. The Buffalo Grove Police Department responded
379
00:23:14.460 --> 00:23:17.599
to the call and arrived at the Cutler household. An
380
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:21.180
initial search of Lee's room showed no clues, but investigators
381
00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:23.890
did notice that his overnight bag was missing, which he
382
00:23:23.930 --> 00:23:25.829
most likely took when he spent the night at a
383
00:23:25.869 --> 00:23:31.210
friend's house. Investigators then began retracing Lee's steps and found
384
00:23:31.250 --> 00:23:34.049
that the last sighting of him was around 9.50 a.m.
385
00:23:34.210 --> 00:23:39.259
on the morning of October 20, 2009. As investigators interviewed
386
00:23:39.339 --> 00:23:42.779
Lee's friends, they found out that on the morning he disappeared,
387
00:23:43.220 --> 00:23:44.839
Lee had dropped a friend off at his home in
388
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:49.019
Buffalo Grove at around 9.50 a.m. before leaving and presumably
389
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:52.960
heading toward his workplace. From there, the trail goes cold.
390
00:23:54.099 --> 00:23:56.579
Beth made hundreds of calls to Lee's phone, but they
391
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.259
either didn't connect or went straight to voicemail. After finding
392
00:24:00.339 --> 00:24:02.200
no sign of Lee in or around his home or
393
00:24:02.220 --> 00:24:06.029
near his workplace, the search radius expanded. Just a day
394
00:24:06.109 --> 00:24:09.170
after Lee disappeared, investigators would get their first break in
395
00:24:09.190 --> 00:24:13.089
the case when his 2007 Toyota Corolla was discovered abandoned
396
00:24:13.130 --> 00:24:16.750
in Wisconsin near the Baraboo River. The car was locked
397
00:24:16.789 --> 00:24:19.150
and abandoned and there was no sign of Lee anywhere.
398
00:24:20.170 --> 00:24:23.250
After the car was discovered, Investigators theorized that Lee had
399
00:24:23.269 --> 00:24:25.390
likely gone into the woods and it was known that
400
00:24:25.430 --> 00:24:28.049
Lee liked to hike in camp and was familiar with
401
00:24:28.069 --> 00:24:31.410
the Baraboo River area. To further add to this theory,
402
00:24:31.930 --> 00:24:35.180
investigators found a receipt from the Kettle Moraine State Forest
403
00:24:35.460 --> 00:24:41.759
which was dated October 20th, 2009 at 1.41pm. Investigators now
404
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:44.519
channeled their search on the Kettle Moraine State Forest and
405
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:48.250
the Baraboo River area. Search and rescue crews along with
406
00:24:48.289 --> 00:24:51.539
Lee's family and volunteers began to scour the area and
407
00:24:51.579 --> 00:24:55.720
they quickly found their next clue. Somewhere near the Baraboo River,
408
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:58.859
searchers found Lee's overnight bag that he had taken out
409
00:24:58.900 --> 00:25:01.900
with him the night before his disappearance. Some of his
410
00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:06.200
personal items, including pants, ID card, wallet, cash, and car keys,
411
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:09.289
were in this bag found by the Baraboo River. Also
412
00:25:09.349 --> 00:25:13.329
inside the bag, searchers found pain medication, sleep aid tablets,
413
00:25:13.930 --> 00:25:17.089
the book Into the Wild, and handwritten letters to his
414
00:25:17.150 --> 00:25:21.339
family and his girlfriend. Into the Wild is a popular
415
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:24.809
book that follows the journey of Christopher McCandless. Christopher sets
416
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:27.910
out of the wilderness of Alaska, only to perish while
417
00:25:27.970 --> 00:25:31.130
out looking for his next big adventure. None of the
418
00:25:31.190 --> 00:25:34.569
notes mention anything about his disappearance, but there was another
419
00:25:34.630 --> 00:25:37.890
note found inside the book. This note was addressed to
420
00:25:37.930 --> 00:25:40.430
his mother and read, My head is too big for
421
00:25:40.470 --> 00:25:44.130
my shoulders. Finally, I'll be able to sleep. I know
422
00:25:44.170 --> 00:25:47.490
I'm not crazy. I love you, Mom. Please be happy.
423
00:25:48.500 --> 00:25:50.740
He also apologized to his mother for being a coward,
424
00:25:51.140 --> 00:25:54.660
but did not refer to harming himself. The search was
425
00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:58.470
now focused exclusively on the Baraboo River, but despite days
426
00:25:58.509 --> 00:26:01.410
of intensive searching, no sign of Lee was ever found.
427
00:26:02.549 --> 00:26:05.230
His mother and father, who had divorced years earlier, came
428
00:26:05.269 --> 00:26:08.680
together to try and find their son. Beth made various
429
00:26:08.700 --> 00:26:12.359
TV appearances, pleading for her son to come home. Private
430
00:26:12.380 --> 00:26:14.920
investigators and dive teams had been called in to search
431
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:19.309
for Lee, but nothing was ever uncovered. Investigators believe that
432
00:26:19.349 --> 00:26:21.589
Lee left of his own volition and is living a
433
00:26:21.650 --> 00:26:25.569
new life elsewhere and doesn't want to be contacted. Lee's
434
00:26:25.609 --> 00:26:28.769
case was officially closed by law enforcement, however, he is
435
00:26:28.809 --> 00:26:31.170
still listed as a missing person and his friends and
436
00:26:31.230 --> 00:26:33.490
family have never given up the fight to find him.
437
00:26:34.910 --> 00:26:38.579
Lee Sterling Cutler was last seen on October 20th, 2009
438
00:26:38.579 --> 00:26:41.920
in Buffalo Grove, Illinois. He is described as a white
439
00:26:41.980 --> 00:26:44.980
male with light brown hair and brown eyes, standing six
440
00:26:45.019 --> 00:26:49.160
foot tall and weighing about 150 pounds. Lee always wore
441
00:26:49.180 --> 00:26:52.180
a yarmulke and expressed an interest in moving to Israel
442
00:26:52.259 --> 00:26:55.420
after he graduated. He has a small bump on his
443
00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:57.980
upper lip and slight webbing between two of his toes.
444
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:01.400
Lee was last seen wearing khaki pants and a dark
445
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:05.680
blue jacket with a red stripe. Anyone with any information
446
00:27:05.980 --> 00:27:09.200
is asked to please contact Detective Tara Anderson of the
447
00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:14.069
Buffalo Grove Police Department at 847-459-2583 and reference case M. 8.
448
00:27:18.900 --> 00:27:31.079
Celeste Wyna Hensley Grube 20-year-old Celeste Wyna Hensley Grube was
449
00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:34.420
last seen on August 10, 1976, in the Cloud Peak
450
00:27:34.460 --> 00:27:39.140
Wilderness in the Bighorn Mountains in Casey, Wyoming. On August 10,
451
00:27:39.140 --> 00:27:41.920
Celeste and two of her female friends entered the wilderness
452
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:45.400
area intending to hike to Cloud Peak. According to those
453
00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:48.849
two friends, Celeste decided to rest on the trailhead while
454
00:27:48.869 --> 00:27:51.730
they continued up to Cloud Peak, and the arrangement was
455
00:27:51.789 --> 00:27:53.599
that they would meet her on the way back down.
456
00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:57.200
By 5pm, the two friends had completed their hike, and
457
00:27:57.240 --> 00:27:59.400
as they made their way down to the trailhead, they
458
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:02.769
saw that Celeste was gone. Her friends searched for her,
459
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:06.059
calling her name, but found no sign of her. The
460
00:28:06.099 --> 00:28:08.509
two rushed to the nearest ranger station to report their
461
00:28:08.549 --> 00:28:13.069
friend missing. Within a few hours, the Johnson County Sheriff's
462
00:28:13.109 --> 00:28:15.990
Office had responded to the incident, and had officially begun
463
00:28:16.009 --> 00:28:20.470
their search. Now, according to the Charlie Project, between 200
464
00:28:20.470 --> 00:28:22.910
and 300 people turned up to help search for Celeste.
465
00:28:23.970 --> 00:28:26.829
Many of these were search and rescue professionals, while others
466
00:28:26.869 --> 00:28:30.750
were simply volunteers. This group covered about 80 square miles,
467
00:28:31.210 --> 00:28:34.670
but failed to find any sign of Celeste. There were
468
00:28:34.809 --> 00:28:37.869
rumors that, at the time of her disappearance, Celeste was
469
00:28:37.890 --> 00:28:40.430
having marital issues, which may have led her to run
470
00:28:40.490 --> 00:28:43.430
away and start a new life. However, we will point
471
00:28:43.490 --> 00:28:47.650
out that these rumors have never been confirmed. After two
472
00:28:47.690 --> 00:28:50.450
long weeks, the search for Celeste Grueb was called off
473
00:28:50.549 --> 00:28:53.150
as the Johnson County Sheriff's Office and the group of
474
00:28:53.190 --> 00:28:56.930
volunteers failed to find any sign of her. When she disappeared,
475
00:28:57.170 --> 00:28:59.470
she had no supplies with her and only a small
476
00:28:59.529 --> 00:29:03.730
number of sweets on her person. Since August 10th, 1976,
477
00:29:03.730 --> 00:29:06.329
there's been no sign of Celeste and she remains a
478
00:29:06.490 --> 00:29:10.779
missing person. Celeste Grueb is described as a white female
479
00:29:11.250 --> 00:29:14.230
standing 5 foot 2 inches tall and weighing 115 pounds.
480
00:29:15.009 --> 00:29:18.059
Anyone with any information is asked to please contact Deputy
481
00:29:18.099 --> 00:29:22.039
Paul Kozasek of the Johnson County Sheriff's Office at 307-684-5581
482
00:29:22.299 --> 00:29:35.069
and reference case number 18S0075. Number 7. Delicia Annette Waddy
483
00:29:36.109 --> 00:29:39.970
Before she disappeared, 24-year-old Delicia Annette Waddy left a message
484
00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:42.960
on her Facebook page which read, it's never too late
485
00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:46.400
to do the right thing. Don't get discouraged. Speaking to
486
00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:51.269
myself also. Just days later, Delicia would be reported missing
487
00:29:51.710 --> 00:29:55.049
and there's been no sign of her since. According to reports,
488
00:29:55.170 --> 00:29:57.849
Delicia was last seen in the King's Dominion Camp Wilderness
489
00:29:57.890 --> 00:30:02.819
Campground in the 1000 block of King's Dominion Boulevard, in Doswell, Virginia.
490
00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:07.869
On March 9th, 2017, Delicia entered the campground and tried
491
00:30:07.890 --> 00:30:12.109
to get a spot. Unfortunately, the campground was full, and
492
00:30:12.150 --> 00:30:15.309
no matter how hard she begged, Delicia wasn't given a spot.
493
00:30:16.569 --> 00:30:20.259
After being refused a spot, Delicia left the campground on foot,
494
00:30:20.740 --> 00:30:24.640
leaving her silver Ford Explorer behind. Reports indicate that her
495
00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:26.900
car was in good working condition and had plenty of
496
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:29.869
gas in sight, so why would she leave it behind?
497
00:30:31.089 --> 00:30:33.710
There's also a large chunk of time where Delicia's movements
498
00:30:33.769 --> 00:30:36.710
are unaccounted for, and the next sighting of her wasn't
499
00:30:36.750 --> 00:30:40.470
made until around 3 or 4 p.m. that afternoon. According
500
00:30:40.569 --> 00:30:44.750
to an NBC article, witnesses saw Delicia walking barefoot along
501
00:30:44.769 --> 00:30:49.309
Meadow Farm Road in Caroline County, Virginia. Delicia's behavior both
502
00:30:49.369 --> 00:30:52.769
worried and disturbed passersby, and two people even filmed her
503
00:30:52.809 --> 00:30:57.359
walking along the road barefoot. These same passersby tried to
504
00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:00.880
intervene and offer her help, but according to them, she declined.
505
00:31:01.900 --> 00:31:04.799
These are the last known movements of Delicia, and after this,
506
00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:08.569
she simply dropped off the map. Her absence was noted
507
00:31:08.630 --> 00:31:10.849
by her family, and her mother knew that she always
508
00:31:10.890 --> 00:31:15.109
kept in contact. After failing to reach Delicia, her mother
509
00:31:15.150 --> 00:31:19.269
contacted the authorities and reported her missing. From there, the
510
00:31:19.289 --> 00:31:22.900
two forces, Hanover County Sheriff's Office and the Caroline County
511
00:31:22.940 --> 00:31:27.460
Sheriff's Office, began retracing Delicia's last movements. It wasn't long
512
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:30.259
until they found her abandoned silver Ford Explorer in the
513
00:31:30.299 --> 00:31:34.779
King's Dominion Camp wilderness campground. Investigators noticed, as we said,
514
00:31:34.819 --> 00:31:37.099
that the car was in good working order and had
515
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:42.950
plenty of gas. Bizarrely, Delicia's phone, purse, wallet, and license
516
00:31:42.990 --> 00:31:45.890
were scattered behind the Meadow Event Park, which was close
517
00:31:45.910 --> 00:31:49.250
to where she'd abandoned her car. As news of Delicia's
518
00:31:49.289 --> 00:31:52.190
disappearance went public, witnesses came forward with a video of
519
00:31:52.230 --> 00:31:56.859
her walking barefoot in Caroline County. The search radius expanded
520
00:31:56.940 --> 00:31:58.900
and scent dogs were also brought in to aid in
521
00:31:58.940 --> 00:32:02.990
the search. According to the Charlie Project, dogs also tracked
522
00:32:03.029 --> 00:32:07.009
her scent to a home in Caroline, Virginia. Was Delicia
523
00:32:07.089 --> 00:32:10.430
headed to a specific location or was she perhaps taken
524
00:32:10.470 --> 00:32:13.789
against her will? Another twist in the case came days
525
00:32:13.849 --> 00:32:16.230
later when a friend of Delicia's reported seeing her on
526
00:32:16.470 --> 00:32:21.750
Bendale Avenue in Richmond, Virginia on March 12, 2017. This
527
00:32:21.809 --> 00:32:24.309
friend told investigators that she was not aware that Delicia
528
00:32:24.329 --> 00:32:27.259
was missing and no further information about this sighting has
529
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:31.599
been released. These sightings, and the fact that Delicia did
530
00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:34.839
not ask passersby for help, have led investigators to believe
531
00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:37.809
that she may not have been in trouble, although given
532
00:32:37.869 --> 00:32:39.910
how much time has passed since she was last seen,
533
00:32:40.470 --> 00:32:45.130
their viewpoint has most likely changed. Delicia's mother told the
534
00:32:45.190 --> 00:32:47.450
media that it was out of the ordinary for Delicia
535
00:32:47.490 --> 00:32:49.809
not to contact her friends or family, and that her
536
00:32:49.849 --> 00:32:54.380
behavior was bizarre. Delicia's friends and family want her home,
537
00:32:54.779 --> 00:32:57.380
and are asking the public to help. She has not
538
00:32:57.460 --> 00:33:00.279
accessed her social media or bank accounts since she disappeared,
539
00:33:00.660 --> 00:33:04.400
and her family now fears for her safety. Delicia Waddy
540
00:33:04.579 --> 00:33:08.400
is described as an African-American female with black hair, hazel eyes,
541
00:33:08.980 --> 00:33:15.279
standing 5'1, and weighing 145 pounds. Delicia has the following tattoos.
542
00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:19.569
Hearts on both sides of her collarbone, leopard spots on
543
00:33:19.670 --> 00:33:23.349
one arm and shoulder, brine on her breast, and anchor
544
00:33:23.470 --> 00:33:26.670
on the other breast, and script writing that runs across
545
00:33:26.710 --> 00:33:30.259
her abdomen, the name Matria on her wrist and tattoos
546
00:33:30.339 --> 00:33:33.819
on her lower abdomen, hip, and calf. Delicia also has
547
00:33:33.859 --> 00:33:37.079
her nose and ears pierced, and some agencies may spell
548
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:44.299
her name D-E-L-I-C-I-A rather than D-E-L-E-C-I-A. She was last seen
549
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:46.920
wearing a black and white tank top, black pants with
550
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:49.740
a white stripe down the leg, a multicolored ball cap,
551
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:53.660
and no shoes. Anyone with any information is asked to
552
00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:57.420
contact Monica Fagan of the Caroline County Sheriff's Office at
553
00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:10.909
804-663-1120 or the Hanover County Sheriff's Office at 804-365-6140. Number 6.
554
00:34:10.909 --> 00:34:15.269
Leonard Taku 44-year-old Leonard Taku was last seen on Christmas
555
00:34:15.289 --> 00:34:19.110
Day 2006 at the Tampa International Airport in Tampa, Florida.
556
00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:22.940
At the time of his disappearance, Leonard was on vacation
557
00:34:22.980 --> 00:34:26.199
in Florida from Ramsgate, England, where he worked as a schoolteacher.
558
00:34:27.260 --> 00:34:29.960
Leonard was excited about his vacation and told his colleagues
559
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:32.039
that he would be back on January 3, 2007, to
560
00:34:32.260 --> 00:34:36.739
start the school year afresh. Those who knew Leonard said
561
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:38.980
he was kind and outgoing and loved his life and
562
00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:42.400
his job. Leonard was last seen at the car rental
563
00:34:42.420 --> 00:34:44.739
desk at the airport, where he was attempting to renew
564
00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:48.340
his contract for a rented car. He'd been driving a
565
00:34:48.340 --> 00:34:52.750
2005 black Chrysler Crossfire convertible around Florida, and this would
566
00:34:52.769 --> 00:34:55.170
have been the third time he would have extended the contract.
567
00:34:56.449 --> 00:34:59.489
After leaving the rental desk, Leonard was never seen again,
568
00:35:00.190 --> 00:35:02.869
but when his family realized he was missing, there were
569
00:35:02.889 --> 00:35:06.650
a few puzzling clues left behind. When Leonard failed to
570
00:35:06.690 --> 00:35:09.730
return home to England, his family and colleagues knew something
571
00:35:09.750 --> 00:35:13.650
had gone wrong. Leonard was due back on January 3rd, 2007,
572
00:35:13.650 --> 00:35:17.989
and it was unlike Leonard to miss work. His family
573
00:35:18.030 --> 00:35:21.449
contacted the authorities in Florida and officially reported him missing.
574
00:35:22.340 --> 00:35:25.579
The Altamonte Springs Police Department responded to the report and
575
00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:29.519
the search for Leonard officially began. Leonard was openly gay
576
00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:33.420
and the police appealed to Florida's LGBTQ plus community to
577
00:35:33.460 --> 00:35:37.699
help them search for him. Investigators began retracing his steps
578
00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:39.559
and found that his credit card had been used on
579
00:35:39.619 --> 00:35:44.409
December 26, 2006 at a Gap store. Whoever used the
580
00:35:44.449 --> 00:35:49.130
card purchased $ 46. 55 worth of clothes. Now, it's never been
581
00:35:49.170 --> 00:35:52.690
confirmed whether this transaction was made by Leonard himself. It
582
00:35:52.710 --> 00:35:57.449
was also found that Leonard's emails were accessed on December 28, 2006,
583
00:35:57.449 --> 00:36:00.449
but again, investigators have never been able to confirm whether
584
00:36:00.469 --> 00:36:04.659
it was actually Leonard or not accessing the account. The
585
00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:07.480
trail went cold for a while, and his family desperately
586
00:36:07.539 --> 00:36:12.659
waited for updates. Then, on February 9, 2007, they received
587
00:36:12.699 --> 00:36:16.159
a call from an investigator The Altamonte Springs Police had
588
00:36:16.219 --> 00:36:20.079
found the Chrysler Crossfire abandoned deep in the Ocala National Forest,
589
00:36:20.420 --> 00:36:24.539
close to the Little Lake George Wilderness Area. At the time,
590
00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:27.940
the Department of Agriculture was performing a controlled burn, and
591
00:36:28.090 --> 00:36:30.349
while the car was unharmed, any evidence that may have
592
00:36:30.369 --> 00:36:34.389
been around it was destroyed. With diminished evidence, the police
593
00:36:34.429 --> 00:36:36.750
concluded that there was no sign of a struggle, and
594
00:36:36.769 --> 00:36:39.570
the car did not hold any clues as to Leonard's whereabouts.
595
00:36:40.789 --> 00:36:43.699
Investigators found themselves stuck at square one, and with no
596
00:36:43.739 --> 00:36:48.369
clues to work with, the case quickly ran cold. Florida's
597
00:36:48.590 --> 00:36:52.670
LGTBQ Plus community banded together to help find Leonard, and
598
00:36:52.710 --> 00:36:56.170
the community kept a watchful eye out for him. Unfortunately,
599
00:36:56.590 --> 00:36:59.610
no sign of Leonard has ever been found. There was
600
00:36:59.750 --> 00:37:02.380
one final transaction on his credit card in January of 2007,
601
00:37:02.369 --> 00:37:07.219
when a room was purchased at a fancy hotel in Orlando, Florida.
602
00:37:08.139 --> 00:37:10.920
Leonard was not known to stay in lavish hotels while traveling,
603
00:37:11.119 --> 00:37:13.030
and this is when his family knew that Leonard was
604
00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:16.690
probably not the one using the card. It does not
605
00:37:16.730 --> 00:37:19.070
appear that the hotel was able to verify who checked in,
606
00:37:19.610 --> 00:37:22.389
and if this information is available, police are keeping it
607
00:37:22.449 --> 00:37:27.110
close to their chest. Leonard Taku remains missing, and his
608
00:37:27.150 --> 00:37:29.550
family and friends in the UK and the US are
609
00:37:29.590 --> 00:37:32.849
searching for justice and answers. His family believe that he
610
00:37:32.889 --> 00:37:36.070
met with foul play, although investigators have stated there is
611
00:37:36.130 --> 00:37:40.670
no evidence to point to this. Leonard Taku is described
612
00:37:40.730 --> 00:37:44.550
as a Pacific Islander, has black hair, brown eyes, stands
613
00:37:44.590 --> 00:37:48.690
about 5 foot 9 inches tall, and weighs about 175 pounds.
614
00:37:49.670 --> 00:37:52.510
Leonard has the following tattoos, some of which are relevant
615
00:37:52.610 --> 00:37:56.659
to his Pacific Islander culture. A checkerboard pattern and circles
616
00:37:56.739 --> 00:37:59.900
on his upper right arm. Solid triangles with lines from
617
00:37:59.920 --> 00:38:02.980
his elbow to wrist, also on his right arm. A
618
00:38:03.000 --> 00:38:05.380
zigzag pattern from elbow to wrist on his left arm.
619
00:38:06.260 --> 00:38:08.679
a travel design with swirling patterns on his legs running
620
00:38:08.699 --> 00:38:11.440
from the knee to the thigh, a Celtic design on
621
00:38:11.480 --> 00:38:14.300
his lower back, and Gothic lettering on his upper back.
622
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:18.650
Leonard has a distinctive Kiwi or New Zealand accent and
623
00:38:18.710 --> 00:38:22.110
is an active and out member of the LGBTQ plus community.
624
00:38:23.130 --> 00:38:26.170
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Altamonte
625
00:38:26.190 --> 00:38:29.969
Springs Police Department at 407-571-8280 and reference case number 2008CJ.
626
00:38:37.130 --> 00:38:37.190
001-125.
627
00:38:38.170 --> 00:38:46.639
Number five, Ronald Gale Salih. 40-year-old Ronald Gale Salih moved
628
00:38:46.659 --> 00:38:49.480
from his home in Vallejo to Fresno County in August
629
00:38:49.500 --> 00:38:52.320
of 1989 to take a job as an x-ray technician
630
00:38:52.500 --> 00:38:56.210
at one of the Fresno County hospitals. Unfortunately, there's not
631
00:38:56.250 --> 00:38:58.570
a lot of information about Ronald, and the only information
632
00:38:58.610 --> 00:39:04.170
available is pertaining to his disappearance. On September 2nd, 1989, Ronald,
633
00:39:04.329 --> 00:39:07.139
along with three other men, entered the Ansel Adams Wilderness
634
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:10.599
Area in Madeira County and planned to hike there. Ronald
635
00:39:10.619 --> 00:39:13.119
was last seen at around 4.30 p.m., and after that,
636
00:39:13.219 --> 00:39:15.880
he became separated from the group as the rough terrain
637
00:39:15.980 --> 00:39:19.940
forced them apart. According to a news article from the Times-Herald,
638
00:39:20.260 --> 00:39:22.510
the group had planned to camp overnight, and the three
639
00:39:22.550 --> 00:39:25.090
men headed towards their campsite in the hopes that Ronald
640
00:39:25.110 --> 00:39:30.010
would eventually catch up with them. As September 3rd, 1989
641
00:39:30.010 --> 00:39:32.400
rolled around, and there was still no sign of their
642
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:36.460
traveling companion, they reported missing to the Madeira County Sheriff's Department.
643
00:39:37.340 --> 00:39:40.099
The Sheriff's Department, along with search and rescue crews, searched
644
00:39:40.139 --> 00:39:44.340
the 20-square-mile area before calling off the search. Crews were
645
00:39:44.380 --> 00:39:45.960
in the air and on the ground, but failed to
646
00:39:46.019 --> 00:39:49.800
find any sign of Ronald. Tommy Tomlinson, the Sheriff's Sergeant
647
00:39:49.820 --> 00:39:54.429
of Madera County Sheriff's Office, told the Times-Herald, No signs, evidence,
648
00:39:54.570 --> 00:39:57.670
or any of his gear has been found. It's unusual
649
00:39:57.809 --> 00:40:01.010
for nothing to be found. There's no evidence of foul play.
650
00:40:01.690 --> 00:40:05.480
It doesn't mean it's been ruled out. In the same article,
651
00:40:05.719 --> 00:40:09.360
Ronald's sister, Pam Durazo, told reporter Glenn Carty how she
652
00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:13.699
planned to still celebrate Ronald's upcoming 41st birthday. She told Glenn,
653
00:40:14.260 --> 00:40:16.630
I've bought him a birthday card already, and I'm not
654
00:40:16.670 --> 00:40:20.000
going to let him go. To this day, his family
655
00:40:20.019 --> 00:40:22.300
still holds out hope that Ronald will be found and
656
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:26.550
that they can finally get the answers they deserve. His mother, Marcine,
657
00:40:27.050 --> 00:40:29.469
believes that Ronald may have had amnesia and may have
658
00:40:29.489 --> 00:40:33.650
forgotten who he was. Almost 33 years later and there's
659
00:40:33.670 --> 00:40:35.969
still no sign of Ronald and it's unlikely that he
660
00:40:36.010 --> 00:40:38.030
simply ran away and started a new life as some
661
00:40:38.070 --> 00:40:41.619
have suggested. Ronald is described as a white male with
662
00:40:41.659 --> 00:40:45.260
brown hair, green eyes, standing six foot tall and weighing
663
00:40:45.260 --> 00:40:47.699
185 pounds. He has a tattoo of a sun with
664
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:50.090
rays and the Charlie Project notes that he may have
665
00:40:50.130 --> 00:40:53.730
suffered from a head injury prior to his disappearance. Ronald
666
00:40:53.769 --> 00:40:56.010
was last seen wearing a red and white striped tank top,
667
00:40:56.510 --> 00:41:00.230
cut-off Levi jeans, hiking boots, and a straw cowboy hat,
668
00:41:00.670 --> 00:41:02.469
and he was carrying a blue backpack with a red
669
00:41:02.510 --> 00:41:07.320
sleeping bag. Anyone with any information has to please contact
670
00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:11.320
Detective Louise Padgett of the Madera County Sheriff's Office at
671
00:41:11.340 --> 00:41:25.429
559-664-4908 and reference case number 010- 1-8175. Number four, Simon Owen.
672
00:41:25.449 --> 00:41:28.570
21-year-old Simon Owen was described as a kind and easygoing
673
00:41:28.610 --> 00:41:31.889
young man, and at just 21 years old, the world
674
00:41:31.929 --> 00:41:35.929
was his oyster. During term time, Simon lived in Fort Worth,
675
00:41:35.969 --> 00:41:40.179
Texas and attended the Texas Wesleyan University. But during the summers,
676
00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:43.039
Simon spent his time in Hawaii with plenty of sun
677
00:41:43.099 --> 00:41:46.559
and endless beaches. Hawaii was the perfect place for Simon
678
00:41:46.579 --> 00:41:48.900
to relax and earn some extra money for school next year.
679
00:41:49.739 --> 00:41:52.980
And in 1994, he went to the islands, but would
680
00:41:53.019 --> 00:41:58.010
never come back. In June of that year, 1994, Simon
681
00:41:58.030 --> 00:42:00.590
arrived in Hawaii and got himself a job at Chili's
682
00:42:00.750 --> 00:42:04.530
restaurant in Waikiki. He was also renting a room and
683
00:42:04.670 --> 00:42:07.969
planned to split his time between work and play. Simon
684
00:42:07.989 --> 00:42:10.650
was a keen outdoorsman, which made Hawaii the perfect place
685
00:42:10.710 --> 00:42:13.469
for him. He loved to climb and hike, and what
686
00:42:13.510 --> 00:42:16.489
better place to do it than Hawaii? Simon was seen
687
00:42:16.530 --> 00:42:20.570
for the last time on June 29, 1994. After that,
688
00:42:20.789 --> 00:42:24.840
he seemed to simply disappear. When his colleagues and family
689
00:42:24.949 --> 00:42:28.280
realized he was missing, they reported this to the police and,
690
00:42:28.460 --> 00:42:32.760
days later, a large-scale search was in operation. According to
691
00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:37.059
an article by the Honolulu Advertiser, billionaire Ross Perot even
692
00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:39.820
aided financially in the search by paying for a private
693
00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:43.739
helicopter to look for Simon. Volunteers turned out in their
694
00:42:43.780 --> 00:42:46.679
hundreds to help search for the promising student, but they
695
00:42:46.820 --> 00:42:51.699
only ever found one clue. Days into the search, investigators
696
00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:54.639
found Simon's bicycle chained to a tree at the base
697
00:42:54.679 --> 00:42:58.289
of Manoa Falls. The search expanded to Manoa Falls, but
698
00:42:58.429 --> 00:43:02.170
no sign of Simon has ever been found. Investigators believe
699
00:43:02.210 --> 00:43:05.110
that Simon had an accident while out climbing and possibly
700
00:43:05.230 --> 00:43:09.349
fell from a considerable height. Simon was well-versed in hiking
701
00:43:09.389 --> 00:43:13.179
and climbing. but the landscape of Manoa Falls can be unpredictable.
702
00:43:14.159 --> 00:43:17.039
The Honolulu Police Department does not believe that foul play
703
00:43:17.139 --> 00:43:21.480
is involved in Simon's case. Simon Owen was seen for
704
00:43:21.500 --> 00:43:25.880
the last time on June 29, 1994, in Waikiki, Hawaii,
705
00:43:26.139 --> 00:43:30.619
and investigators are now seeking information. Simon is described as
706
00:43:30.659 --> 00:43:34.190
a white male with brown eyes, standing 6 foot tall
707
00:43:34.409 --> 00:43:38.610
and weighing 155 pounds. He has the Christian fish symbol
708
00:43:38.650 --> 00:43:41.050
tattooed on his right ankle and has scars on the
709
00:43:41.090 --> 00:43:44.690
back of his neck, right hip, and left shoulder. When
710
00:43:44.730 --> 00:43:47.349
last seen, he was wearing beige shorts and was possibly
711
00:43:47.389 --> 00:43:51.769
carrying his maroon backpack. Anyone with any information or who
712
00:43:51.809 --> 00:43:54.269
may have spotted the young man is asked to please
713
00:43:54.309 --> 00:43:57.690
contact the Honolulu Police Department at 808-529-3111 and reference case
714
00:43:58.170 --> 00:44:13.610
number 94-273-903. Number 3 Michael Hugh Cameletti 56-year-old Michael Hugh
715
00:44:13.619 --> 00:44:16.389
Cameletti is a retired Army colonel, and his time in
716
00:44:16.409 --> 00:44:19.289
the Army taught him many valuable survival and outdoor skills.
717
00:44:20.130 --> 00:44:23.250
Michael loved to explore the great outdoors, and according to reports,
718
00:44:23.269 --> 00:44:25.969
it is believed that he entered the Cranberry Wilderness on
719
00:44:26.030 --> 00:44:30.039
May 23, 2011. His family said that it was unlike
720
00:44:30.099 --> 00:44:32.420
Michael to go on a hiking trip without telling anyone,
721
00:44:32.760 --> 00:44:35.360
and after he failed to return home, he was reported missing.
722
00:44:35.380 --> 00:44:40.050
A month later, on June 27, 2011, Michael's car was
723
00:44:40.110 --> 00:44:43.769
found abandoned by State Trooper Marka G. The State Trooper
724
00:44:43.809 --> 00:44:46.769
found Michael's car abandoned on Williams River Road, and when
725
00:44:46.809 --> 00:44:49.150
he checked the license plate, he found it belonged to
726
00:44:49.190 --> 00:44:53.559
Michael Camiletti, who had been reported missing weeks earlier. Inside
727
00:44:53.579 --> 00:44:55.719
the car was a handwritten note that stated he was
728
00:44:55.760 --> 00:44:58.960
planning to hike on the North-South Trail from May 23rd
729
00:44:59.019 --> 00:45:03.320
to May 27th. This discovering alarmed officers and a search
730
00:45:03.360 --> 00:45:06.230
of the North-South Trail was conducted, but they were unable
731
00:45:06.269 --> 00:45:09.949
to find any evidence of Michael. Sent dogs, search and
732
00:45:09.989 --> 00:45:13.769
rescue crews, and volunteers all flocked to the Cranberry Wilderness
733
00:45:13.809 --> 00:45:16.889
to aid in the search for Michael. But despite all this,
734
00:45:17.030 --> 00:45:20.989
the searchers came up empty-handed. Since then, there's been no
735
00:45:21.050 --> 00:45:23.650
sign of Michael, and his family is now looking for
736
00:45:23.750 --> 00:45:27.820
answers and closure. Michael Cameletti is described as a white
737
00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:31.400
male with brown hair, blue eyes, standing 5 foot 5
738
00:45:31.400 --> 00:45:35.820
inches tall, weighing 165 pounds. He has a scar on
739
00:45:35.860 --> 00:45:39.789
his chin. Anyone with any information is asked to contact
740
00:45:39.829 --> 00:45:50.929
the West Virginia State Police at 304-799-4101. Number 2. Harold
741
00:45:51.030 --> 00:45:55.679
Loris Drake 76-year-old retired math teacher Harold Loris Drake was
742
00:45:55.719 --> 00:45:58.760
enjoying his retirement after dedicating many decades of his life
743
00:45:58.900 --> 00:46:03.500
to teaching newer generations. Harold was especially excited to get
744
00:46:03.579 --> 00:46:05.699
out and about, and he loved nothing more than hiking.
745
00:46:06.599 --> 00:46:09.059
was said to be in great physical condition for his age.
746
00:46:10.380 --> 00:46:14.280
On July 8, 2015, Harold entered the Pfeiffer-Big Sur State
747
00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:16.829
Park with a friend, and the two planned on camping
748
00:46:16.869 --> 00:46:20.809
and hiking there over the coming days. According to Harold's friend,
749
00:46:21.130 --> 00:46:23.349
on July 8, Harold told him that he was going
750
00:46:23.389 --> 00:46:25.510
for a hike and would be back by that afternoon.
751
00:46:25.530 --> 00:46:28.610
But as the afternoon came and went, there was no
752
00:46:28.670 --> 00:46:32.440
sign of Harold. His friend began to panic. As the
753
00:46:32.480 --> 00:46:35.710
hours ticked by and his friend still hadn't returned, Harold's
754
00:46:35.750 --> 00:46:39.190
camping companion reported missing to the Monterey County Sheriff's Department,
755
00:46:39.409 --> 00:46:42.820
and a search was underway within a few hours. The
756
00:46:42.840 --> 00:46:46.019
Sheriff's Department, along with search and rescue crews, searched throughout
757
00:46:46.039 --> 00:46:49.280
the park for Harold, but ultimately found no sign of him.
758
00:46:50.360 --> 00:46:52.900
The friend who Harold was camping with told investigators that
759
00:46:52.940 --> 00:46:55.460
Harold had left with a gallon of water and some snacks,
760
00:46:55.760 --> 00:46:57.719
but it appears that he left his sleeping bag and
761
00:46:57.780 --> 00:47:02.960
camping gear behind. Despite searching the Pfeiffer-Big Sur State Park,
762
00:47:03.079 --> 00:47:06.409
which spans over 1,000 acres, No sign of Harold has
763
00:47:06.469 --> 00:47:10.070
ever been located. The most likely theory is that he
764
00:47:10.110 --> 00:47:12.809
got lost or injured during his hike and was unable
765
00:47:12.849 --> 00:47:16.510
to cry for help. Harold's friends and family have never
766
00:47:16.570 --> 00:47:20.489
given up hope that one day they'll find him. Harold
767
00:47:20.590 --> 00:47:23.829
Lawrence Drake is described as a white male with white hair,
768
00:47:24.389 --> 00:47:28.750
blue eyes, he stands five foot nine inches tall, weighs
769
00:47:28.750 --> 00:47:33.010
165 pounds, and wears prescription glasses. Harold was last seen
770
00:47:33.050 --> 00:47:39.360
wearing a gray shirt, black pants, black suspenders, and hiking boots. Unfortunately,
771
00:47:39.500 --> 00:47:41.940
Harold's case has not yet been submitted to NamUs and
772
00:47:41.980 --> 00:47:45.679
no further details are available at this time. Anyone with
773
00:47:45.739 --> 00:47:49.289
any information or may have seen Harold that day, please
774
00:47:49.329 --> 00:47:52.949
contact the Monterey County Sheriff's Department at 831-755-3722. At number one,
775
00:47:52.969 --> 00:48:05.320
Richard Harvell. 67-year-old Vietnam veteran Richard Harvell and his friend
776
00:48:05.360 --> 00:48:09.280
set off into the Mojave Desert in October 2015, hoping
777
00:48:09.320 --> 00:48:12.280
to set up camp and eventually hike to the Tehachapi Mountains.
778
00:48:13.239 --> 00:48:16.170
While not caring for his family, Richard loved to be outdoors,
779
00:48:16.329 --> 00:48:18.510
and his family even joked that he preferred the wilderness
780
00:48:18.550 --> 00:48:23.550
to people. On October 15, 2015, tragedy would strike when
781
00:48:23.610 --> 00:48:25.369
Richard and his friend were camping at the foot of
782
00:48:25.389 --> 00:48:29.429
the Tehachapi Mountains. According to reports, the two were camping
783
00:48:29.449 --> 00:48:32.860
in a trailer near 150th Street and Highgate Avenue when
784
00:48:32.900 --> 00:48:35.579
the heavens opened up at around 10 p.m. and torrential
785
00:48:35.659 --> 00:48:38.780
rains began to pour down. No one could have anticipated
786
00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:40.989
just how bad the rains were about to be, and
787
00:48:41.010 --> 00:48:44.389
those in Kern County, California were completely caught off guard.
788
00:48:45.530 --> 00:48:48.010
Within minutes, the rains had turned lethal and began to
789
00:48:48.050 --> 00:48:51.150
sweep the mud and sand through the Mojave Desert. This
790
00:48:51.210 --> 00:48:54.400
flood quickly overwhelmed residents and those hiking in the area,
791
00:48:54.699 --> 00:48:57.539
and Richard and his friend were sadly at the epicenter
792
00:48:57.579 --> 00:49:00.960
of it. As the rains poured down, Richard went outside
793
00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:02.599
the trailer to try and move his car out of
794
00:49:02.619 --> 00:49:06.360
the way and that is when tragedy struck. His friend
795
00:49:06.420 --> 00:49:08.389
watched as Richard was hit by a rock and was
796
00:49:08.449 --> 00:49:12.190
knocked under the current as his body floated away. With
797
00:49:12.210 --> 00:49:14.730
little time to react, his friend desperately tried to grab
798
00:49:14.789 --> 00:49:17.329
hold of Richard, but the current was just too strong.
799
00:49:18.070 --> 00:49:20.800
Within seconds, Richard had been pulled away from his trailer,
800
00:49:20.920 --> 00:49:24.659
and he was now missing. His family were understandably devastated
801
00:49:24.699 --> 00:49:26.800
when the news hit them, and they vowed to never
802
00:49:26.860 --> 00:49:30.500
give up looking for his body. When the rains finally
803
00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:33.679
calmed and the flood subsided, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's
804
00:49:33.699 --> 00:49:37.110
Department and the KCSO Desert Search and Rescue Team took
805
00:49:37.130 --> 00:49:40.400
to the skies to try and find Richard. Searches were
806
00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:43.389
temporarily suspended due to conditions, but when it was safe
807
00:49:43.409 --> 00:49:46.510
to do so, ground teams were also dispatched, but even
808
00:49:46.530 --> 00:49:48.710
they were unable to find any sign of the man.
809
00:49:50.050 --> 00:49:52.789
The LA Times reported that the Harvell's family also let
810
00:49:52.829 --> 00:49:55.250
his dog loose, hoping the animal would be able to
811
00:49:55.309 --> 00:49:58.059
locate him. But the dog sat near the trailer for
812
00:49:58.099 --> 00:50:01.039
three days. It was unfortunately clear that the dog didn't
813
00:50:01.059 --> 00:50:05.780
know where to start. Despite wide-scale searches, no sign of
814
00:50:05.840 --> 00:50:08.639
Richard has ever been found, but his family still haven't
815
00:50:08.659 --> 00:50:12.230
given up hope of closure. He's described as a strong
816
00:50:12.250 --> 00:50:16.190
and determined person and a keen survivalist. His family hopes
817
00:50:16.210 --> 00:50:18.389
that his army days and time in the great outdoors
818
00:50:18.590 --> 00:50:20.809
might have given him the skills to stay alive and
819
00:50:20.829 --> 00:50:24.730
that one day they may be reunited. Richard Harvell is
820
00:50:24.769 --> 00:50:27.300
described as a white male with brown hair, brown eyes,
821
00:50:27.639 --> 00:50:33.099
standing 5'11, and weighing 185 pounds. Anyone with any information
822
00:50:33.179 --> 00:50:35.780
is asked to please contact the Kern County Sheriff's Department
823
00:50:36.420 --> 00:50:51.460
at 661-391-7623 And reference case number SR-1527379. Number 10, Michelle
824
00:50:51.719 --> 00:50:56.099
Rae Vanik. 35-year-old Michelle Rae Vanik was a dedicated mother
825
00:50:56.119 --> 00:50:58.519
to her four children who also loved to climb and
826
00:50:58.539 --> 00:51:01.800
hike in her spare time. Michelle loved nothing more than
827
00:51:01.840 --> 00:51:04.219
being in the great outdoors and soaking in everything nature
828
00:51:04.260 --> 00:51:08.440
had to offer. But one climb in 2005 would unfortunately
829
00:51:08.460 --> 00:51:11.019
be her last, and ever since then, Her whereabouts have
830
00:51:11.039 --> 00:51:16.760
been a complete mystery. On September 24th, 2005, Michelle, along
831
00:51:16.780 --> 00:51:19.119
with her friend Eric Sawyer, geared up to hike up
832
00:51:19.159 --> 00:51:22.239
the Mount of the Holy Cross in Colorado. Mount of
833
00:51:22.260 --> 00:51:25.340
the Holy Cross sits at an elevation of around 14,000 feet,
834
00:51:25.760 --> 00:51:29.539
and luckily for Michelle, Eric had climbed similar summits numerous times.
835
00:51:30.900 --> 00:51:33.800
The pair felt confident in their abilities to navigate whatever
836
00:51:33.840 --> 00:51:36.260
the landscape put before them, and they were excited to
837
00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:39.699
see how the trip would go. Michelle was a triathlete,
838
00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:43.079
but was not experienced in hiking in altitudes. Trust me,
839
00:51:43.099 --> 00:51:46.320
from personal experience, altitude is not something to play around with.
840
00:51:47.369 --> 00:51:49.469
This hike had been a year in the making, and
841
00:51:49.550 --> 00:51:52.030
nothing was going to hold them back. But right from
842
00:51:52.070 --> 00:51:54.610
the get-go, there were signs that the trip was doomed.
843
00:51:55.710 --> 00:51:59.070
At 6.30 a.m., Michelle and Eric left Half Moon Campground
844
00:51:59.550 --> 00:52:02.780
and began their grueling hike up to the summit. Unfortunately,
845
00:52:02.820 --> 00:52:04.699
the two had taken the wrong trail and had found
846
00:52:04.739 --> 00:52:08.519
themselves on the Halo route. According to reports, the Halo
847
00:52:08.579 --> 00:52:11.679
route is much more physically demanding than other trails, and
848
00:52:11.719 --> 00:52:15.539
only the most experienced and even professional hikers are advised
849
00:52:15.559 --> 00:52:18.880
to take that route. Michelle and Eric had in fact
850
00:52:19.000 --> 00:52:21.860
wanted to head along the Northridge Trail, which had much
851
00:52:21.960 --> 00:52:26.059
smoother terrain. Not wanting to reverse and lose their progress,
852
00:52:26.440 --> 00:52:29.059
the two continued along the trail and consulted their maps,
853
00:52:29.360 --> 00:52:32.340
hoping to find an easier way to the top. Another
854
00:52:32.440 --> 00:52:35.820
realization struck the duo. when they suddenly remembered that their
855
00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:38.960
food and their water purifier had been left behind in
856
00:52:39.019 --> 00:52:42.639
Eric's car. With no way of getting off the halo route,
857
00:52:43.019 --> 00:52:44.960
the two were forced to press on and pray that
858
00:52:44.980 --> 00:52:47.699
they make it to the top. The two continued on
859
00:52:47.739 --> 00:52:50.949
their way, with Michelle regularly complaining of headaches and tiredness,
860
00:52:51.269 --> 00:52:54.929
most likely due to the altitude. Michelle found it difficult
861
00:52:54.969 --> 00:52:57.389
to keep up with Eric, and soon enough, she'd begun
862
00:52:57.429 --> 00:53:00.309
to lag behind. The high altitude on the ascent had
863
00:53:00.329 --> 00:53:02.769
crept up on Michelle. She wasn't used to hiking in
864
00:53:02.809 --> 00:53:06.449
such heights, and then, just 400 yards from the summit,
865
00:53:06.909 --> 00:53:11.050
Michelle stopped. The altitude, lack of food and water, and
866
00:53:11.090 --> 00:53:13.829
the grueling path and the pace had taken its toll
867
00:53:13.889 --> 00:53:16.409
on Michelle, and she knew that she had reached her limit,
868
00:53:16.690 --> 00:53:20.760
both physically and mentally. Eric wanted Michelle to make the
869
00:53:20.780 --> 00:53:22.659
last part of the hike with him and was upset
870
00:53:22.719 --> 00:53:26.119
when she suggested that he go it alone. Eric agreed
871
00:53:26.159 --> 00:53:28.099
that Michelle could either wait where she was or could
872
00:53:28.119 --> 00:53:30.739
start heading toward the East Cross Creek Trail, where the
873
00:53:30.760 --> 00:53:34.769
two would eventually meet up later. Disappointed, Eric continued on
874
00:53:34.809 --> 00:53:37.489
to the top of Mount of the Holy Cross. This
875
00:53:37.530 --> 00:53:40.179
was the last time that Michelle was ever seen alive again.
876
00:53:40.199 --> 00:53:44.280
Eric finished the hike, letting out a huge sigh of relief.
877
00:53:44.980 --> 00:53:46.980
This trip had been a year in the making and
878
00:53:47.019 --> 00:53:49.679
he was glad that he had finally achieved it. After
879
00:53:49.739 --> 00:53:53.030
talking to some other hikers, Eric said goodbye and began
880
00:53:53.070 --> 00:53:57.190
his descent. As he neared the agreed waiting spot, he
881
00:53:57.210 --> 00:53:59.769
saw that there was no sign of Michelle. He looked
882
00:53:59.809 --> 00:54:02.809
around and began shouting for her, but there was no response.
883
00:54:03.599 --> 00:54:05.780
Eric's voice echoed through the mountains and his cries for
884
00:54:05.820 --> 00:54:10.099
Michelle went unheard. Eric began retracing his steps and following
885
00:54:10.119 --> 00:54:11.739
the trail that would lead him back to his car,
886
00:54:12.219 --> 00:54:15.679
but still found no sign of Michelle. When he reached
887
00:54:15.699 --> 00:54:18.639
Half Moon Campground and failed to see Michelle, he immediately
888
00:54:18.699 --> 00:54:22.079
contacted the Eagle County Sheriff's Office and reported her missing.
889
00:54:23.030 --> 00:54:26.800
Within hours, groups of rangers, officers, and helicopter crews were
890
00:54:26.840 --> 00:54:30.389
out looking for Michelle. As word of Michelle's disappearance hit
891
00:54:30.409 --> 00:54:33.510
the news, The Vail Mountain Search and Rescue Team joined
892
00:54:33.590 --> 00:54:35.840
in and a number of people out looking for Michelle
893
00:54:36.119 --> 00:54:39.659
quickly reached the hundreds, making this search and rescue operation
894
00:54:39.699 --> 00:54:44.300
the biggest in Colorado's history at the time. Helicopters, ground crews,
895
00:54:44.400 --> 00:54:46.800
and scent dogs were all deployed, but no one could
896
00:54:46.860 --> 00:54:49.159
find any trace of Michelle. It was as if she
897
00:54:49.199 --> 00:54:53.110
had simply vanished off the mountain. And then two days later,
898
00:54:53.510 --> 00:54:57.309
the Eagle County Sheriff's Office found their first clue. On
899
00:54:57.349 --> 00:55:01.420
September 26, 2005, Two days after Michelle was last seen,
900
00:55:02.139 --> 00:55:04.840
searchers came across a duffel bag and a shotgun close
901
00:55:04.880 --> 00:55:09.079
to the Cross Creek trailhead. Other hikers also told investigators
902
00:55:09.119 --> 00:55:11.639
of a bizarre man who hid behind a tree and
903
00:55:11.679 --> 00:55:15.309
refused to show his face. Now, it's unknown whether either
904
00:55:15.409 --> 00:55:17.630
or any of these clues are connected to Michelle's case,
905
00:55:18.130 --> 00:55:21.909
and there are still more disturbing clues to come. As
906
00:55:21.969 --> 00:55:24.789
searchers trudged through the thick snow, they saw something bright.
907
00:55:25.250 --> 00:55:28.639
It was blood. It's never been revealed whether this blood
908
00:55:28.679 --> 00:55:30.880
was tested to confirm whether it was human or animal,
909
00:55:31.320 --> 00:55:33.880
and it appears no DNA tests have been performed on
910
00:55:33.940 --> 00:55:38.610
it either. During the entire search for Michelle, over 700
911
00:55:38.610 --> 00:55:41.349
people joined in and spent weeks carefully combing the area
912
00:55:41.429 --> 00:55:43.469
of the Mount of the Holy Cross, but there was
913
00:55:43.510 --> 00:55:47.519
just no sign of her. No backpack, no shoes, no body,
914
00:55:47.880 --> 00:55:53.679
no trace, nothing. Investigators came across another puzzling individual who
915
00:55:53.719 --> 00:55:56.599
called himself Peter Martin. Peter was camped out in a
916
00:55:56.639 --> 00:55:58.880
tent along one of the trails and was resistant to
917
00:55:58.920 --> 00:56:02.489
police questioning. He would not open up and reveal any
918
00:56:02.550 --> 00:56:05.690
details about himself, and investigators have never been able to
919
00:56:05.730 --> 00:56:09.750
determine whether this elusive Peter Martin is connected anyway to
920
00:56:09.789 --> 00:56:16.130
Michelle's case. There are many uncertainties in Michelle's case. Did
921
00:56:16.150 --> 00:56:18.250
she meet with foul play during her descent to Half
922
00:56:18.289 --> 00:56:20.889
Moon Campground, or did she lose her way due to
923
00:56:20.949 --> 00:56:26.119
tiredness and altitude sickness? Investigators believe that Michelle likely became
924
00:56:26.159 --> 00:56:29.090
disoriented due to lack of food and water and possibly
925
00:56:29.150 --> 00:56:32.809
fell somewhere. But foul play cannot be ruled out in
926
00:56:32.849 --> 00:56:36.329
Michelle's case. However, without a body, it's hard to discern.
927
00:56:37.909 --> 00:56:41.110
Michelle Vanek was last seen on September 24, 2005, on
928
00:56:42.030 --> 00:56:45.619
the Mount of the Holy Cross. She is described as
929
00:56:45.659 --> 00:56:48.820
a light female with blonde hair, blue eyes, standing 5'7''
930
00:56:49.500 --> 00:56:53.690
tall and weighing about 145 pounds. Michelle was last seen
931
00:56:53.730 --> 00:56:56.670
wearing a blue lightweight ski jacket with white stripes on
932
00:56:56.690 --> 00:57:00.769
the sleeves, a black or red shirt, black stretch pants,
933
00:57:01.090 --> 00:57:03.829
hiking boots, a blue hat with a white stripe, and
934
00:57:03.869 --> 00:57:07.340
blue and white mitts. Anyone with any information is asked
935
00:57:07.360 --> 00:57:11.199
to please contact Detective Gianni Robinson of the Eagle County
936
00:57:11.260 --> 00:57:24.969
Sheriff's Office at 970-328-8682 and reference case number 2005-1969. Number nine,
937
00:57:25.699 --> 00:57:30.599
Melvin George Heaps. 74-year-old Melvin George Heaps was described by
938
00:57:30.639 --> 00:57:33.079
his family as a warm and loving person who loved
939
00:57:33.099 --> 00:57:36.320
to hike anytime he visited them in Salt Lake City, Utah.
940
00:57:37.119 --> 00:57:41.300
July 31st, 2017 was no exception, and after visiting his family,
941
00:57:41.739 --> 00:57:43.760
Melvin headed out on a day hike to the Crystal
942
00:57:43.780 --> 00:57:47.840
Lake area of the Wasatch National Forest in Utah. Melvin
943
00:57:47.860 --> 00:57:50.019
was familiar with this area, and his family believed that
944
00:57:50.039 --> 00:57:52.940
they would see him later that evening. However, when he
945
00:57:52.980 --> 00:57:55.769
failed to return home they knew something had gone wrong.
946
00:57:57.500 --> 00:58:01.019
After failing to return by nightfall, his family reported him missing,
947
00:58:01.420 --> 00:58:04.079
and within hours, the Summit County Sheriff's Office and search
948
00:58:04.119 --> 00:58:06.960
and rescue teams were out in the Wasatch National Forest
949
00:58:07.000 --> 00:58:10.550
looking for him. The search teams were at a disadvantage
950
00:58:10.670 --> 00:58:13.829
as Melvin has a hearing impairment, making it unlikely that
951
00:58:13.849 --> 00:58:17.070
he would hear them shouting his name. Search and rescuers
952
00:58:17.110 --> 00:58:20.300
were dispatched on horseback, by foot and by air, and
953
00:58:20.320 --> 00:58:23.260
were also accompanied by dogs but no sign of Melvin
954
00:58:23.320 --> 00:58:28.090
has ever been found. The search continued for Melvin, however,
955
00:58:28.269 --> 00:58:30.769
after a few weeks, the search was scaled back due
956
00:58:30.809 --> 00:58:34.670
to a lack of leads. Since then, Melvin remains missing,
957
00:58:34.750 --> 00:58:37.150
and his family and investigators believe that he likely got
958
00:58:37.210 --> 00:58:43.719
lost in the forest. In August of 2017, Melvin's family
959
00:58:43.739 --> 00:58:47.920
made a statement to ABC4 News, telling them, Our family
960
00:58:47.960 --> 00:58:50.340
appreciates all the support we have received from the search
961
00:58:50.360 --> 00:58:53.170
and rescue units, and a concern and interest of friends
962
00:58:53.210 --> 00:58:56.570
and family. We continue to be hopeful because we know
963
00:58:56.610 --> 00:58:59.780
Mel and his love of the outdoors. We respectfully ask
964
00:58:59.800 --> 00:59:04.840
for privacy at this time. 74-year-old Melvin George Heaps was
965
00:59:04.880 --> 00:59:06.889
last seen on July 31, 2017, in the Crystal Lake
966
00:59:06.989 --> 00:59:12.659
area of the Wasatch National Park. Forest. He is described
967
00:59:12.699 --> 00:59:16.079
as a white male with gray hair, blue eyes, stands
968
00:59:16.219 --> 00:59:20.099
5'9 inches tall and weighs about 180 pounds. Melvin is
969
00:59:20.159 --> 00:59:22.389
deaf in his left ear and is hearing impaired in
970
00:59:22.449 --> 00:59:24.969
his right, and also wears a hearing aid in his
971
00:59:25.030 --> 00:59:28.889
right ear. He has a surgical scar behind his left
972
00:59:28.969 --> 00:59:32.670
ear and wears prescription glasses. Melvin was last seen wearing
973
00:59:32.690 --> 00:59:36.780
a long-sleeved red or rust-colored shirt with beige stripes, blue jeans,
974
00:59:37.280 --> 00:59:42.480
clip-on suspenders, brown hiking boots, a Mormon temple undergarment, and
975
00:59:42.500 --> 00:59:45.579
a straw hat with a brown band. Anyone with any

Scott Allen Hilbert was your average teenager. He was also
980
01:00:13.010 --> 01:00:15.889
enrolled as a student at Moorhead State University in Kentucky,
981
01:00:16.449 --> 01:00:18.550
and he was slowly figuring out his way in life.
982
01:00:19.289 --> 01:00:21.690
Scott had grown up in Milford, Ohio, and saw the
983
01:00:21.730 --> 01:00:24.340
move to Kentucky as a move toward independence and freedom.
984
01:00:26.150 --> 01:00:29.190
Like most teenagers his age, he was slowly feeling his
985
01:00:29.250 --> 01:00:32.190
way through into adulthood and things were going pretty well
986
01:00:32.250 --> 01:00:36.329
for him. On March 13, 1988, Scott was back home
987
01:00:36.389 --> 01:00:38.730
in Milford for spring break and he was glad to
988
01:00:38.750 --> 01:00:42.389
get some time away from his studies. That evening, his
989
01:00:42.429 --> 01:00:44.510
parents returned home to find a note on the fridge
990
01:00:44.570 --> 01:00:46.780
from Scott that said he was headed out to visit
991
01:00:46.800 --> 01:00:50.280
some friends at Ohio State. This university was around 100
992
01:00:50.280 --> 01:00:52.900
miles from their home in Milford and his parents assumed
993
01:00:52.940 --> 01:00:56.000
he would be back in a day or two. Scott
994
01:00:56.039 --> 01:00:59.780
never returned. When Scott failed to return home or make
995
01:00:59.840 --> 01:01:02.900
contact with his parents, they knew something had gone wrong.
996
01:01:03.980 --> 01:01:06.119
His parents contacted his friends and said that they had
997
01:01:06.159 --> 01:01:10.329
not seen him on March 13th. By March 21st, the
998
01:01:10.349 --> 01:01:12.690
Herberts knew their son had not simply gone away to
999
01:01:12.710 --> 01:01:16.369
visit a friend. Scott had not returned home and had
1000
01:01:16.409 --> 01:01:19.090
not returned to college to start the new semester, and
1001
01:01:19.110 --> 01:01:22.130
that is when the family contacted the Union Township Police
1002
01:01:22.489 --> 01:01:27.010
and reported their son missing. Investigators would interview Scott's friends
1003
01:01:27.070 --> 01:01:29.530
and family and confirm that nobody saw him in Ohio
1004
01:01:29.570 --> 01:01:32.909
State that day. The search for Scott was now on,
1005
01:01:33.090 --> 01:01:35.050
and it would take almost two weeks for the first
1006
01:01:35.130 --> 01:01:41.619
puzzling clue to surface. On April 1, 1988, investigators found
1007
01:01:41.679 --> 01:01:47.019
a black 1984 Ford Tempo with a license plate 807-JPF
1008
01:01:47.599 --> 01:01:50.300
on a dead-end road in the desert in the Beaver
1009
01:01:50.380 --> 01:01:52.969
Dam Mountain Wilderness Area, close to the border with Utah.
1010
01:01:54.920 --> 01:01:57.079
A quick scan of the license plates confirmed that the
1011
01:01:57.119 --> 01:02:00.030
car belonged to the Hilberts, and Scott's parents confirmed that
1012
01:02:00.110 --> 01:02:02.670
indeed he had been driving the family car that day.
1013
01:02:03.869 --> 01:02:07.650
Investigators were now left wondering how Scott's car ended up
1014
01:02:07.690 --> 01:02:11.469
over 1,700 miles away. Now, this wasn't the only puzzling
1015
01:02:11.489 --> 01:02:15.150
clue left behind, though. According to the Charlie Project, quote,
1016
01:02:15.670 --> 01:02:19.440
this is, meaning the location where the car was found, 1,700
1017
01:02:19.440 --> 01:02:22.469
miles from the Hilberts' home. but the car's odometer showed
1018
01:02:22.510 --> 01:02:25.920
it had been driven for 3,800 miles since its disappearance.
1019
01:02:27.000 --> 01:02:30.579
Over 2,000 miles could not be accounted for, end quote.
1020
01:02:31.820 --> 01:02:34.139
Why had Scott's car been abandoned in a desert in
1021
01:02:34.159 --> 01:02:37.750
a wilderness area, and who had driven it there? Ohio
1022
01:02:37.769 --> 01:02:40.289
State University was only around 100 miles from the Hilbert's
1023
01:02:40.309 --> 01:02:43.469
home in Milford, so why had the car registered almost
1024
01:02:43.550 --> 01:02:47.920
an additional 4,000 miles? The car had been completely abandoned
1025
01:02:47.940 --> 01:02:50.230
and investigators noted that someone had tried to push the
1026
01:02:50.269 --> 01:02:53.190
car off a cliff. The car didn't go off the
1027
01:02:53.230 --> 01:02:55.449
cliff as it had been caught on a tree and
1028
01:02:55.469 --> 01:02:58.329
a forensic examination of the inside of the car would
1029
01:02:58.349 --> 01:03:02.570
show more puzzling details. Two sets of fingerprints were found
1030
01:03:02.610 --> 01:03:05.639
inside the car. One set of prints belonged to Scott
1031
01:03:06.000 --> 01:03:10.099
and the other belonged to an unidentified person. Scott's dorm key,
1032
01:03:10.480 --> 01:03:12.800
a bottle of shampoo and a kitchen knife were found
1033
01:03:12.840 --> 01:03:15.960
scattered around the car but his other belongings have never
1034
01:03:16.000 --> 01:03:20.550
been located. There are two more items of interest to investigators.
1035
01:03:21.130 --> 01:03:24.050
The first is a matchbook from Denver, Colorado, and the
1036
01:03:24.110 --> 01:03:26.849
second is a page from a Long Beach, California phone book.
1037
01:03:27.849 --> 01:03:30.849
Are these items related, or is someone trying to leave
1038
01:03:30.969 --> 01:03:36.030
cryptic clues or maybe even red herrings? Since the discovery
1039
01:03:36.090 --> 01:03:39.460
of the abandoned vehicle, there's been little movement in Scott's case,
1040
01:03:39.840 --> 01:03:43.929
and investigators are considering all possibilities at this point. There
1041
01:03:43.969 --> 01:03:47.789
are endless theories, but without solid evidence, it's impossible to
1042
01:03:47.849 --> 01:03:51.380
say either way. Scott's family are desperate for answers to
1043
01:03:51.420 --> 01:03:53.920
what happened to their son and are urging anyone with
1044
01:03:53.980 --> 01:03:58.159
information to please come forward. Scott's case will likely be
1045
01:03:58.199 --> 01:04:02.559
solved when the right person with the right information comes forward. Remember,
1046
01:04:02.739 --> 01:04:05.750
no matter how small or insignificant you think your tip
1047
01:04:05.809 --> 01:04:08.829
might be, it might just be the missing piece to
1048
01:04:08.849 --> 01:04:13.760
this bizarre puzzle. Scott Hilbert was last seen on March 13, 1988,
1049
01:04:13.760 --> 01:04:17.510
and is described as a white male with brown hair
1050
01:04:17.530 --> 01:04:20.650
and green eyes, standing about 5 foot 10 inches tall
1051
01:04:20.730 --> 01:04:25.210
and weighing 150 pounds. Anyone with any information is asked
1052
01:04:25.230 --> 01:04:28.329
to contact the Union Township Police Department at 513-752-1230 and
1053
01:04:28.469 --> 01:04:39.920
reference case number 88-000744. Or you can contact the Ohio
1054
01:04:39.980 --> 01:04:44.219
Bureau of Criminal Investigation at 740-845-2000 and reference their case SI-13-01-01-2211.
1055
01:04:44.599 --> 01:04:49.579
Number 7. Charles Austin Holman In May 1978, Charles Austin
1056
01:04:49.719 --> 01:04:53.920
Holman married the love of his life, Mary Lee Lovelace.
1057
01:05:09.590 --> 01:05:11.699
The marriage would not last, however, and by 1982, the
1058
01:05:11.719 --> 01:05:16.840
pair had divorced. Following his divorce, Curtis moved to Montana,
1059
01:05:17.039 --> 01:05:19.260
where he worked as a math teacher at Target Range
1060
01:05:19.300 --> 01:05:24.469
Elementary School in Missoula. Curtis was described as an avid outdoorsman,
1061
01:05:24.820 --> 01:05:27.309
and the Charlie Project notes that he and Mary Lee,
1062
01:05:27.389 --> 01:05:31.050
his first wife, who we mention later divorced, had worked
1063
01:05:31.070 --> 01:05:34.949
for the National Park Service. Curtis was also into survivalism
1064
01:05:34.989 --> 01:05:37.110
and was said to have a large stockpile of supplies
1065
01:05:37.199 --> 01:05:40.670
and food. Now, it wasn't unusual for Curtis to go
1066
01:05:40.769 --> 01:05:43.309
on long hikes through the wilderness of the U.S., but
1067
01:05:43.329 --> 01:05:45.369
he always made sure to keep in contact with his
1068
01:05:45.409 --> 01:05:49.260
family and friends. This all changed, though, on July 22, 1984,
1069
01:05:49.250 --> 01:05:53.849
when Curtis left his home in Missoula, Montana, and has
1070
01:05:53.889 --> 01:05:57.989
never been seen or heard from again. His girlfriend at
1071
01:05:58.030 --> 01:06:00.679
the time later told investigators that Curtis left his home
1072
01:06:00.719 --> 01:06:02.920
that evening, knowing her he was going to change the
1073
01:06:02.960 --> 01:06:07.150
battery in his truck, and then simply never returned. The
1074
01:06:07.170 --> 01:06:08.989
two were due to meet up the next day, but
1075
01:06:09.030 --> 01:06:13.440
Curtis was a no-show. Now, as previously mentioned, it wasn't
1076
01:06:13.500 --> 01:06:16.019
unusual for Curtis to go off for long periods of time,
1077
01:06:16.619 --> 01:06:19.239
but he would always let someone know where he was going,
1078
01:06:19.800 --> 01:06:23.199
and this time was different. Curtis' girlfriend waited for a
1079
01:06:23.219 --> 01:06:25.719
call or a letter, but neither of those ever came.
1080
01:06:26.239 --> 01:06:28.300
It would take two weeks for the first bizarre clue
1081
01:06:28.360 --> 01:06:34.030
in Curtis' disappearance to emerge. On August 3rd, 1984, A
1082
01:06:34.050 --> 01:06:36.760
hiker making their way down a desolate road in Placid
1083
01:06:36.800 --> 01:06:41.300
Lake State Park came across an abandoned 1976 Toyota pickup truck.
1084
01:06:42.260 --> 01:06:45.019
The hiker knew that this road was disused and contacted
1085
01:06:45.039 --> 01:06:48.989
the authorities to report the car. A scan of the
1086
01:06:49.030 --> 01:06:51.769
license plate revealed that the truck belonged to Curtis Holman.
1087
01:06:52.210 --> 01:06:54.670
That is when the authorities and his loved ones realized
1088
01:06:54.690 --> 01:06:59.329
he was indeed missing. The Missoula Police Department attended the
1089
01:06:59.369 --> 01:07:02.420
scene and immediately began sweeping the area, looking for any
1090
01:07:02.480 --> 01:07:05.670
sign of Curtis. On the front seat of his truck,
1091
01:07:06.090 --> 01:07:09.570
investigators found a forest map, his glasses, and his wallet.
1092
01:07:10.369 --> 01:07:12.780
No keys were found inside the truck, and there was
1093
01:07:12.820 --> 01:07:16.880
no other sign of Curtis. A wide-scale search of Placid
1094
01:07:16.920 --> 01:07:19.519
Lake was conducted, with volunteers flooding in to aid with
1095
01:07:19.559 --> 01:07:23.659
the search. Search and rescue crews combed the forest, but ultimately,
1096
01:07:24.039 --> 01:07:27.699
no sign of Curtis has ever been found. According to investigators,
1097
01:07:28.079 --> 01:07:30.219
there was no sign of a struggle, and the only
1098
01:07:30.300 --> 01:07:32.500
evidence they found of Curtis being in the area were
1099
01:07:32.519 --> 01:07:34.739
his footprints, that had been covered by the prints of
1100
01:07:34.780 --> 01:07:38.300
a grizzly bear. Now, just a few days after his
1101
01:07:38.320 --> 01:07:42.280
abandoned truck was discovered, investigators would receive a bizarre tip.
1102
01:07:43.840 --> 01:07:47.030
Campers at a Girl Scout camp reported seeing a disheveled
1103
01:07:47.070 --> 01:07:51.150
man who resembled Curtis wandering around the area. According to
1104
01:07:51.190 --> 01:07:55.070
the scout leader, the man appeared disoriented and was rambling
1105
01:07:55.150 --> 01:07:58.889
about the Vietnam War. There are no reports that indicate
1106
01:07:58.909 --> 01:08:02.159
that Curtis ever served in the military, and investigators have
1107
01:08:02.239 --> 01:08:06.099
never been able to verify this sighting. Since then, there
1108
01:08:06.139 --> 01:08:09.280
has been little movement in Curtis' case, and investigators believe
1109
01:08:09.320 --> 01:08:11.599
that he was either attacked by a bear, as a
1110
01:08:11.639 --> 01:08:14.619
female grizzly was spotted in the area, or that he
1111
01:08:14.659 --> 01:08:17.840
simply got lost while out hiking and succumbed to the element.
1112
01:08:19.060 --> 01:08:22.229
Curtis' brother, though, has his own theory. He believes that
1113
01:08:22.250 --> 01:08:25.890
the mysterious disappearance of John Patrick Kerrigan is linked to
1114
01:08:25.949 --> 01:08:31.600
his brother's disappearance. John disappeared on July 20th, 1984 from Ronan,
1115
01:08:31.640 --> 01:08:34.920
Montana and his car was found abandoned around 40 miles
1116
01:08:34.979 --> 01:08:38.319
away from where Curtis's car was found. This theory has
1117
01:08:38.359 --> 01:08:41.319
never been backed up by investigators and there's no solid
1118
01:08:41.359 --> 01:08:45.869
evidence that links the two cases together. Web Sleuth users
1119
01:08:46.130 --> 01:08:48.649
also proposed that Curtis may have been the Sand Canyon
1120
01:08:48.689 --> 01:08:51.909
John Doe who was discovered in Sand Canyon, Nevada in
1121
01:08:51.949 --> 01:08:57.689
March of 1992. However, in 2021, The Sand Canyon John
1122
01:08:57.729 --> 01:09:02.260
Doe was positively identified as Vincent Marion Trapp, who disappeared
1123
01:09:02.380 --> 01:09:08.439
sometime around 1991. In the years after his disappearance, Curtis
1124
01:09:08.479 --> 01:09:11.680
was declared deceased in absentia by his family, and now
1125
01:09:11.720 --> 01:09:13.840
they're looking for answers so they can finally put him
1126
01:09:13.880 --> 01:09:18.119
to rest. Curtis Austin Holman is described as a white
1127
01:09:18.159 --> 01:09:22.079
male with blonde or strawberry blonde or reddish hair, blue eyes,
1128
01:09:22.479 --> 01:09:27.399
standing 6'5, and weighing 210 lbs. Anyone with any information
1129
01:09:27.500 --> 01:09:30.239
is asked to contact the Missoula Police Department at 406-552-6303
1130
01:09:30.310 --> 01:09:49.590
and reference case number C-840-708-800. 6. Jesse Albertine Hoover In
1131
01:09:49.649 --> 01:09:54.619
November 1982, Jesse Albertine Hoover unexpectedly lost her husband and
1132
01:09:54.640 --> 01:09:57.680
the love of her life, Eugene Hoover. The two had
1133
01:09:57.699 --> 01:10:00.520
been married for 35 years and they had shared many
1134
01:10:00.640 --> 01:10:05.279
precious memories and moments together. The unexpected passing of her
1135
01:10:05.319 --> 01:10:08.079
beloved knocked Jesse off her feet, but with the help
1136
01:10:08.140 --> 01:10:11.079
of her children and family, she slowly pulled herself back
1137
01:10:11.119 --> 01:10:14.970
together and found her fighting spirit once more. Jessie was
1138
01:10:15.010 --> 01:10:17.909
described as a strong-willed woman who was determined to prove
1139
01:10:17.949 --> 01:10:20.970
that nothing could hold her back. If Jessie wanted to
1140
01:10:21.029 --> 01:10:23.350
do something, she was going to do it, and no
1141
01:10:23.449 --> 01:10:26.109
one could talk her out of it. After the passing
1142
01:10:26.149 --> 01:10:29.250
of her cherished husband, Jessie began talking to her children
1143
01:10:29.270 --> 01:10:32.449
about walking the length of the Appalachian Trail after she'd
1144
01:10:32.489 --> 01:10:37.029
read an article in a magazine. Her children later recalled
1145
01:10:37.050 --> 01:10:40.210
to Banger and Maine Daily News how this new mission
1146
01:10:40.250 --> 01:10:43.069
gave their mother a brighter outlook and something to focus
1147
01:10:43.100 --> 01:10:46.789
her energy on. Also, according to the Banger Daily News article,
1148
01:10:47.350 --> 01:10:49.970
Jessie had crafted an itinerary of when she would arrive
1149
01:10:50.029 --> 01:10:52.970
at major stops along the trail, pick up supplies, and
1150
01:10:53.010 --> 01:10:56.029
wire for money. She even made arrangements with the family
1151
01:10:56.050 --> 01:10:58.729
doctor to get refills of her medication along the way.
1152
01:11:00.010 --> 01:11:03.149
As we said, Jessie had a fighting spirit, and after
1153
01:11:03.210 --> 01:11:05.989
months of hard work and preparation, she was ready to
1154
01:11:06.029 --> 01:11:10.149
tackle the mighty Appalachian Trail. Naturally, her family worried about
1155
01:11:10.189 --> 01:11:12.409
the trip, but they had come to an agreement that
1156
01:11:12.449 --> 01:11:14.310
Jesse would call them if she felt like she could
1157
01:11:14.329 --> 01:11:19.020
no longer carry on. Armed with her supplies, route maps,
1158
01:11:19.449 --> 01:11:23.359
and itineraries, 53-year-old Jesse Hoover left her home in Fort Worth,
1159
01:11:23.399 --> 01:11:26.560
Texas and hopped on a Greyhound bus headed towards Maine
1160
01:11:27.079 --> 01:11:32.319
on May 16, 1983. Her daughter, Mary Yadon, accompanied her
1161
01:11:32.359 --> 01:11:34.720
mother to the bus station and the two said what
1162
01:11:34.760 --> 01:11:38.180
would be their final goodbyes. A quick kiss on the
1163
01:11:38.220 --> 01:11:42.039
cheek and then her mother was gone. Mary watched as
1164
01:11:42.079 --> 01:11:44.439
the bus rolled out of the station, not knowing that
1165
01:11:44.479 --> 01:11:46.600
she would never see or hear from her mother again.
1166
01:11:48.140 --> 01:11:50.770
Jesse did make a few phone calls back home, but
1167
01:11:50.810 --> 01:11:56.109
after May 20th, 1983, these calls suddenly stopped. According to reports,
1168
01:11:56.590 --> 01:11:59.529
Jesse attempted to climb Mount Katahdin on May 20th, but
1169
01:12:00.069 --> 01:12:03.890
was stopped by rangers. These park rangers would tell investigators
1170
01:12:03.930 --> 01:12:06.800
that they did not let Jesse pass and climb because
1171
01:12:06.819 --> 01:12:09.439
they believed she was unprepared and would be unable to
1172
01:12:09.479 --> 01:12:13.119
make it safely up the mountain. Again, Jessie was a
1173
01:12:13.159 --> 01:12:16.680
strong-willed woman, so she changed up her plans slightly and
1174
01:12:16.739 --> 01:12:18.859
she was seen for the last time at the trailhead
1175
01:12:19.430 --> 01:12:23.869
of the 100-mile wilderness on the Appalachian Trail. At the
1176
01:12:23.909 --> 01:12:27.569
time of her disappearance, Jessie was only carrying around $ 15
1177
01:12:27.149 --> 01:12:30.010
to $ 20 in cash and had a limited supply of
1178
01:12:30.050 --> 01:12:34.630
her epilepsy medicine. Reports also indicate that strangely she was
1179
01:12:34.710 --> 01:12:37.850
only carrying beef jerky which is nowhere near enough food
1180
01:12:38.229 --> 01:12:43.119
to sustain a person traversing the 100-mile wilderness area. An
1181
01:12:43.159 --> 01:12:46.060
attendant at a house located on the trail remembered seeing
1182
01:12:46.100 --> 01:12:50.439
Jessie and recalled how unprepared she seemed. She was wearing
1183
01:12:50.479 --> 01:12:53.380
light clothing and not carrying the recommended 8 to 10
1184
01:12:53.380 --> 01:12:57.340
days' worth of food. The Banger Daily News also reported
1185
01:12:57.779 --> 01:12:59.880
the Texan had stood out to the attendant and felt
1186
01:12:59.939 --> 01:13:02.920
she was ill-equipped for a stay in the woods. The
1187
01:13:02.960 --> 01:13:05.420
attendant reportedly had asked her if she had bug spray
1188
01:13:05.810 --> 01:13:08.449
but she didn't even have that. This was the first
1189
01:13:08.489 --> 01:13:12.510
and last time the attendant saw her. When Jessie failed
1190
01:13:12.529 --> 01:13:15.600
to make contact with her family, they immediately knew something
1191
01:13:15.609 --> 01:13:20.000
was wrong. Jessie had purchased prepaid AT & T calling
1192
01:13:20.039 --> 01:13:21.960
cards so she didn't need to worry about having money
1193
01:13:21.979 --> 01:13:24.920
to call home. She'd promised to call at least once
1194
01:13:24.960 --> 01:13:28.840
a week, but now the lines had fallen silent. Jessie's
1195
01:13:28.880 --> 01:13:32.039
family contacted Park Rangers. The search team was put together,
1196
01:13:32.520 --> 01:13:35.329
but even after weeks of arduous searching, No sign of
1197
01:13:35.390 --> 01:13:39.470
Jessie was ever found. Warden David Sewall, who had been
1198
01:13:39.489 --> 01:13:42.649
assigned to Jessie's case, told the Banger Daily News, quote,
1199
01:13:43.170 --> 01:13:45.770
We went over the woods with a fine-tooth comb. If
1200
01:13:45.810 --> 01:13:48.510
she was there, we would have found her. We don't
1201
01:13:48.569 --> 01:13:52.500
ignore people in the woods, end quote. No pieces of
1202
01:13:52.560 --> 01:13:55.399
clothing or equipment were ever recovered, and to this day,
1203
01:13:55.760 --> 01:13:59.979
Jessie's body has also never been found. Investigators believe that
1204
01:14:00.020 --> 01:14:02.640
Jessie got lost along the trail and simply succumbed to
1205
01:14:02.680 --> 01:14:05.630
the elements. seeing as how she was unprepared for the
1206
01:14:05.670 --> 01:14:11.010
landscape and lacked adequate food and clothing. However, Jessie's children
1207
01:14:11.069 --> 01:14:13.869
and family have never forgotten about her, although almost 40
1208
01:14:13.869 --> 01:14:17.220
years have passed since she disappeared. They still hold out
1209
01:14:17.270 --> 01:14:20.859
hope that there are answers out there. Her children have
1210
01:14:20.880 --> 01:14:24.420
submitted DNA samples to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons
1211
01:14:24.479 --> 01:14:27.380
Network and are hoping that one day there may be
1212
01:14:27.439 --> 01:14:32.350
a match. Jessie is described as a white female with
1213
01:14:32.409 --> 01:14:35.600
gray or partially gray hair blue eyes, standing about 5
1214
01:14:35.600 --> 01:14:40.300
foot 9 inches tall and around 240 pounds. She's missing
1215
01:14:40.340 --> 01:14:43.319
her two bottom teeth and has epilepsy, which she takes
1216
01:14:43.359 --> 01:14:46.810
medication for. She was last seen wearing a blue windbreaker,
1217
01:14:46.989 --> 01:14:49.090
blue jeans, and a blue shirt, and was carrying a
1218
01:14:49.109 --> 01:14:53.090
blue knapsack. Anyone with any information is asked to please
1219
01:14:53.130 --> 01:14:56.939
contact Detective Jennifer Fisk of the Maine State Police at
1220
01:14:56.949 --> 01:15:12.659
207-973-3700 and reference case number MC- Number 5. Dennis Eugene
1221
01:15:12.699 --> 01:15:18.449
Johnson On April 12, 1966, 8-year-old Dennis Eugene Johnson was
1222
01:15:18.489 --> 01:15:21.250
enjoying a camping trip in the Yellowstone National Park with
1223
01:15:21.289 --> 01:15:25.590
his mom, dad, and sister. The family had driven from Inyokern,
1224
01:15:25.630 --> 01:15:29.810
California to take a relaxing weekend in the park. For
1225
01:15:29.840 --> 01:15:32.680
Dennis and his younger sister, Yellowstone was the perfect place
1226
01:15:32.699 --> 01:15:35.460
to run around and explore, seeing what new animals they
1227
01:15:35.500 --> 01:15:39.100
could see. At first, the trip was going well. The
1228
01:15:39.119 --> 01:15:43.159
family gathered around their tent, making food and exploring. But then,
1229
01:15:43.359 --> 01:15:46.149
on April 12th, the trip would take an unexpected and
1230
01:15:46.189 --> 01:15:50.689
tragic turn. That afternoon, the Johnsons gathered their picnic basket
1231
01:15:50.989 --> 01:15:54.390
and headed for the Cascade Picnic area. The basket was
1232
01:15:54.449 --> 01:15:57.180
filled to the brim with sandwiches, drinks, and snack cakes,
1233
01:15:57.770 --> 01:16:00.010
but all Dennis and his younger sister wanted to do
1234
01:16:00.069 --> 01:16:03.449
was explore. While the family were in the picnic area,
1235
01:16:03.850 --> 01:16:06.510
Dennis' little sister wandered off out of sight of their parents.
1236
01:16:07.449 --> 01:16:09.489
Dennis was the first to notice that his little sister
1237
01:16:09.510 --> 01:16:13.180
had wandered off and immediately let his parents know. The
1238
01:16:13.220 --> 01:16:15.539
family agreed to split up and search different parts of
1239
01:16:15.560 --> 01:16:20.239
the picnic area. According to reports, Dennis' father was confident
1240
01:16:20.319 --> 01:16:22.680
in his son's abilities in the outdoors as they had
1241
01:16:22.720 --> 01:16:24.699
spent time together out there where he had taught him
1242
01:16:24.739 --> 01:16:29.399
important lessons and survivalism. With that, the three split up,
1243
01:16:29.579 --> 01:16:33.420
hoping to become four again. After a while, three people
1244
01:16:33.479 --> 01:16:36.210
emerged from the bushes and into the picnic area, but
1245
01:16:36.409 --> 01:16:41.329
Dennis wasn't one of them. The Johnsons had their daughter back,
1246
01:16:41.609 --> 01:16:44.770
but now their son was missing. Once again, they began
1247
01:16:44.789 --> 01:16:48.239
their search, this time shouting Dennis' name, but he was
1248
01:16:48.300 --> 01:16:52.659
nowhere to be found. After searching every possible spot, the
1249
01:16:52.699 --> 01:16:55.819
Johnsons summoned a park ranger and reported their son missing.
1250
01:16:57.659 --> 01:17:00.859
Over the coming days, park rangers, search and rescue teams,
1251
01:17:00.920 --> 01:17:04.079
and volunteers would pile into Yellowstone National Park to aid
1252
01:17:04.140 --> 01:17:06.840
in the search, but no sign of Dennis was ever found.
1253
01:17:08.159 --> 01:17:10.760
After two weeks, the search was scaled back after failing
1254
01:17:10.840 --> 01:17:13.850
to find any sign of little Dennis. There were no
1255
01:17:14.060 --> 01:17:18.750
items of clothing, no footprints, and ultimately no Dennis. The
1256
01:17:18.770 --> 01:17:21.989
lack of footprints or tracks astounded officers, leading them to
1257
01:17:22.029 --> 01:17:24.550
believe that Dennis may have wandered onto a nearby road
1258
01:17:24.970 --> 01:17:28.399
and was picked up by an unknown individual. No one
1259
01:17:28.420 --> 01:17:31.539
has ever come forward with any viable information, but since
1260
01:17:31.600 --> 01:17:35.859
April 12, 1966, Dennis Johnson has never been seen again.
1261
01:17:37.220 --> 01:17:40.600
If still alive today, Dennis Eugene Johnson would be 64
1262
01:17:40.600 --> 01:17:43.500
years old. At the time of his disappearance, he was
1263
01:17:43.539 --> 01:17:47.020
described as a white male with sandy blonde hair, brown eyes,
1264
01:17:47.439 --> 01:17:50.079
standing 3 foot 8 inches tall and weighing 60 pounds.
1265
01:17:51.039 --> 01:17:53.960
Dennis' nickname was Denny, and he had a 6-inch scar
1266
01:17:54.060 --> 01:17:57.510
on his abdomen that runs through his navel. He was
1267
01:17:57.550 --> 01:18:00.529
last seen wearing a dark red or magenta long-sleeved t-shirt,
1268
01:18:00.989 --> 01:18:05.149
tan Levi's pants, and size 8 laced moccasin-type leather hiking
1269
01:18:05.170 --> 01:18:09.529
boots with crepe soles. Anyone with any information is asked
1270
01:18:09.550 --> 01:18:12.810
to contact Daniel Kirshner of the National Park Service at 307-344-2122.
1271
01:18:12.810 --> 01:18:27.010
Number 4. Brian Christopher Jones 37-year-old Brian Christopher Jones was
1272
01:18:27.050 --> 01:18:29.890
last seen climbing the North Sister Mountain in the Three
1273
01:18:29.949 --> 01:18:33.720
Sisters Wilderness Area in Eugene, Oregon, on September 24, 2011.
1274
01:18:33.720 --> 01:18:38.220
Brian and his friend were climbing the North Sister when
1275
01:18:38.239 --> 01:18:41.399
at around 1 p.m., Brian slipped just short of the summit.
1276
01:18:42.260 --> 01:18:45.390
Deputy John Miller of the Lane County Sheriff's Office later
1277
01:18:45.449 --> 01:18:48.930
commented to Oregon Live, quote, he was scrambling on some
1278
01:18:48.970 --> 01:18:51.989
of the terrain near his climbing partner, and he slipped,
1279
01:18:52.369 --> 01:18:57.949
started sliding, and then cartwheeled down the mountain, unquote. Unfortunately,
1280
01:18:58.109 --> 01:18:59.939
there was nothing his friend could do, and he was
1281
01:18:59.979 --> 01:19:02.340
forced to watch on as Brian fell down the mountain.
1282
01:19:03.640 --> 01:19:06.520
The incident was quickly reported to the Lane County Sheriff's Office,
1283
01:19:06.800 --> 01:19:09.430
but the harsh conditions on the North Sister made it
1284
01:19:09.489 --> 01:19:14.189
near impossible for helicopter crews to recover Brian's body. Multiple
1285
01:19:14.210 --> 01:19:17.130
attempts were made, but it appears that so far, search
1286
01:19:17.170 --> 01:19:20.729
crews have been unable to recover Brian's remains. The friend
1287
01:19:20.750 --> 01:19:23.470
who hiked with Brian later told newspapers that he called
1288
01:19:23.550 --> 01:19:25.529
out to him after he heard him slip but got
1289
01:19:25.569 --> 01:19:27.909
no response, which is when he began making his way
1290
01:19:27.930 --> 01:19:31.729
to the nearest ranger station. As Brian has never been recovered,
1291
01:19:31.840 --> 01:19:34.960
he is still classified as lost slash injured and missing,
1292
01:19:35.260 --> 01:19:37.460
and his family is desperate to find out what happened.
1293
01:19:38.100 --> 01:19:41.770
Investigators highly believe that Brian perished, but everyone involved would
1294
01:19:41.810 --> 01:19:44.699
like resolution to this case. If you have any additional
1295
01:19:44.739 --> 01:19:48.010
information that may help, please contact the Lane County Sheriff's
1296
01:19:48.090 --> 01:19:58.109
Office at 541-682-4150 and reference case number 11-7087. Number three,
1297
01:19:58.630 --> 01:20:03.510
David Christopher Kemper. 27-year-old David Christopher Kemper was last seen
1298
01:20:03.550 --> 01:20:07.520
in the Sherman Island area in Sacramento County, California. According
1299
01:20:07.539 --> 01:20:10.680
to the web, Sherman Island is part of Sacramento's regional
1300
01:20:10.720 --> 01:20:13.380
parks and offers a wide variety of things to do.

01:20:14.260 --> 01:20:16.229
David and his friend had chosen to head down to
1302
01:20:16.279 --> 01:20:18.890
Sherman Island to fish, and the park is home to
1303
01:20:18.909 --> 01:20:22.090
the Sacramento River and the Mayberry Slough, which gave them
1304
01:20:22.130 --> 01:20:25.930
the perfect resources. There are very few details available in
1305
01:20:25.970 --> 01:20:28.569
David's case, and all we know for sure is that
1306
01:20:28.640 --> 01:20:32.039
on March 12, 2018, David and his friend headed down
1307
01:20:32.079 --> 01:20:35.300
to Sherman Island to do some fishing. Sometime during their trip,
1308
01:20:35.689 --> 01:20:38.260
the two friends became separated, and that was the last
1309
01:20:38.319 --> 01:20:41.220
time David was ever seen or heard from. The story
1310
01:20:41.239 --> 01:20:43.720
has come under heavy fire from David's family, who have
1311
01:20:43.779 --> 01:20:46.380
publicly stated that David didn't even have a fishing license
1312
01:20:46.760 --> 01:20:49.640
or own fishing equipment. When he failed to show up
1313
01:20:49.699 --> 01:20:52.390
for his job as an electrician, his family knew something
1314
01:20:52.430 --> 01:20:55.449
was wrong, and they contacted the Concord Police Department and
1315
01:20:55.489 --> 01:20:58.409
reported him missing. At the time of his disappearance, David
1316
01:20:58.449 --> 01:21:00.609
lived in Concord, and this is why they are the
1317
01:21:00.670 --> 01:21:04.489
agency in charge of his disappearance. David's friends and family,
1318
01:21:04.819 --> 01:21:07.880
along with officers, took to the Sherman Island area looking
1319
01:21:07.920 --> 01:21:10.439
for any signs of David, and just two days later,
1320
01:21:10.699 --> 01:21:14.880
they found their first clue. On March 14, 2018, David's
1321
01:21:14.939 --> 01:21:18.300
Toyota truck was found abandoned off the 18,400 block of
1322
01:21:18.319 --> 01:21:22.100
Highway 60. The only items found were David's wool hat
1323
01:21:22.189 --> 01:21:25.050
and his vest, and nothing else has ever been recovered.
1324
01:21:25.869 --> 01:21:28.609
Since then, David's case has gone cold, and his family
1325
01:21:28.649 --> 01:21:32.529
are desperate for justice and answers. David Christopher Kemper is
1326
01:21:32.569 --> 01:21:35.250
described as a white male with brown hair brown eyes,
1327
01:21:35.590 --> 01:21:39.609
standing six foot tall and weighing 160 pounds. He has
1328
01:21:39.750 --> 01:21:42.850
acne scars on his chest and a range of tattoos.
1329
01:21:43.689 --> 01:21:46.289
The tattoos are a portrait of his grandmother wearing a
1330
01:21:46.350 --> 01:21:48.310
red scarf on the right side of his rib cage,
1331
01:21:48.329 --> 01:21:51.529
a portrait of a woman on his right calf, a
1332
01:21:51.550 --> 01:21:54.229
full sleeve tattoo on his left arm which includes the
1333
01:21:54.289 --> 01:21:58.569
astrological sign for Virgo, the name Megan on his underarm,
1334
01:21:59.189 --> 01:22:02.390
an outline of the state of California, a Burning Man logo,
1335
01:22:03.159 --> 01:22:05.710
a family tree with initials on the inside of his forearms,
1336
01:22:06.569 --> 01:22:10.770
and the words R.I.P. Joshua Freeman with birds, clouds, and
1337
01:22:10.789 --> 01:22:14.109
the moon on his bicep. He was reportedly last seen
1338
01:22:14.130 --> 01:22:17.689
wearing a sweatshirt, a dark blue t-shirt, blue jeans, and
1339
01:22:17.729 --> 01:22:21.600
a wool hat. Anyone with any information is asked to
1340
01:22:21.640 --> 01:22:24.390
contact the Concord Police Department at 925-671-3333. 2. Patrick E.
1341
01:22:24.399 --> 01:22:35.060
King 32-year-old Patrick E. King was last seen on November 21, 1995,
1342
01:22:35.060 --> 01:22:40.060
in Gibson County, Indiana. According to reports, Patrick left his
1343
01:22:40.100 --> 01:22:42.930
workplace at around 3.30 p.m. and is assumed that he
1344
01:22:42.970 --> 01:22:46.470
headed home. Later that night, witnesses recall seeing Patrick get
1345
01:22:46.489 --> 01:22:49.529
into a gray car with two undentified people. This will
1346
01:22:49.550 --> 01:22:53.069
be the last time that Patrick was seen alive. Michelle Peters,
1347
01:22:53.189 --> 01:22:55.649
Patrick's girlfriend, was supposed to be going on a date
1348
01:22:55.680 --> 01:22:59.310
with him that night, but Patrick never showed. Michelle knew
1349
01:22:59.350 --> 01:23:00.960
that he had not stood her up, and when he
1350
01:23:01.000 --> 01:23:03.359
failed to contact her or report for work, she knew
1351
01:23:03.420 --> 01:23:06.380
something was wrong. It wasn't until his car was found
1352
01:23:06.420 --> 01:23:09.420
abandoned the next day that Patrick's friends and family knew
1353
01:23:09.460 --> 01:23:14.130
he was in danger. According to reports, Patrick's 1991 Ford
1354
01:23:14.170 --> 01:23:17.289
Ranger was found in the Snakey Point Wilderness Area near
1355
01:23:17.310 --> 01:23:21.189
the Patoka River in Indiana. The car had been completely abandoned,
1356
01:23:21.510 --> 01:23:23.649
and as soon as investigators laid eyes on the car,
1357
01:23:23.989 --> 01:23:27.199
they knew it was a possible crime scene. In the truck,
1358
01:23:27.689 --> 01:23:31.760
Investigators found human hair, human blood, and fingerprints. All of
1359
01:23:31.800 --> 01:23:34.300
these signs pointed to a struggle, and now they had
1360
01:23:34.319 --> 01:23:37.560
to find Patrick. Years later, two men would be ordered
1361
01:23:37.579 --> 01:23:40.460
to take DNA tests and submit other forensic evidence for
1362
01:23:40.500 --> 01:23:45.520
comparison as they were being investigated in connection with Patrick's disappearance. However,
1363
01:23:45.899 --> 01:23:48.329
it does not appear as though anything conclusive came of
1364
01:23:48.369 --> 01:23:52.850
these tests. Just eight days after her boyfriend disappeared, Michelle
1365
01:23:52.930 --> 01:23:56.489
found herself in a perilous situation too. Michelle told police
1366
01:23:56.529 --> 01:23:58.470
that she was driving along when two men in a
1367
01:23:58.529 --> 01:24:01.470
gray and black Oldsmobile shot at her and smashed into
1368
01:24:01.510 --> 01:24:04.850
her car. Thankfully, Michelle was unharmed, but she was left
1369
01:24:04.909 --> 01:24:08.409
severely shaken by the incident. Investigators have not been able
1370
01:24:08.430 --> 01:24:11.750
to conclusively link the two incidents together, although we think
1371
01:24:11.789 --> 01:24:14.029
it's more than fair to say that they are most
1372
01:24:14.090 --> 01:24:18.909
likely connected. Since 1995, Patrick's case has continued to go cold.
1373
01:24:19.710 --> 01:24:23.310
The courts of Indiana have subpoenaed DNA samples, fingerprints, and
1374
01:24:23.380 --> 01:24:26.680
searches of numerous properties but nothing has ever come of this.
1375
01:24:27.699 --> 01:24:30.189
There were whisperings around Gibson County that Patrick had been
1376
01:24:30.210 --> 01:24:35.550
buried underneath someone's garage floor, but again, these claims remain unsubstantiated.
1377
01:24:36.590 --> 01:24:39.869
In the years following his disappearance, Patrick was declared deceased
1378
01:24:39.909 --> 01:24:43.189
in absentia, but his loved ones are still yearning for answers.
1379
01:24:43.949 --> 01:24:46.020
Patrick E. King is described as a white male with
1380
01:24:46.069 --> 01:24:49.140
long brown hair, a mustache, and a beard. His height
1381
01:24:49.180 --> 01:24:52.140
and weight are recorded as unknown, as is his eye color.
1382
01:24:53.029 --> 01:24:55.869
Anyone with any information is asked to please contact Detective
1383
01:24:55.890 --> 01:25:02.430
Brad Cieslak with the Indiana State Police at 800-852-3970 and
1384
01:25:03.109 --> 01:25:14.010
reference case 35-14390. At number one, Vladimir Petrovich Kostenko. 41-year-old
1385
01:25:14.069 --> 01:25:18.229
Vladimir Petrovich Kostenko was a man on a mission. He
1386
01:25:18.270 --> 01:25:21.609
had moved from Zelenokomusk, Russia to Washington State with his
1387
01:25:21.649 --> 01:25:25.960
family as they faced religious persecution in Russia. For his
1388
01:25:26.020 --> 01:25:28.859
entire time on the planet, Vladimir had been in search
1389
01:25:28.920 --> 01:25:31.439
of something more. He had a thirst for life and
1390
01:25:31.460 --> 01:25:36.430
was desperate to understand it. In 2018, Vladimir embarked on
1391
01:25:36.479 --> 01:25:39.510
another one of his soul-searching hikes, but this time he
1392
01:25:39.550 --> 01:25:43.989
would never return. Vladimir was dedicated to his spirituality and
1393
01:25:44.090 --> 01:25:47.770
finding the meaning of life. According to Oregon Live, he
1394
01:25:47.810 --> 01:25:52.819
lived an almost monk-like existence, fasting regularly, meditating for hours,
1395
01:25:53.199 --> 01:25:56.920
and reading widely on religion. By the time Vladimir had
1396
01:25:56.960 --> 01:25:59.399
reached the U.S., he'd learned enough English to get by
1397
01:25:59.779 --> 01:26:02.319
and worked odd jobs as a mechanic to support himself.
1398
01:26:03.560 --> 01:26:06.560
As he settled into Walla Walla, Washington, he picked up
1399
01:26:06.600 --> 01:26:10.529
more English and continued his quest for enlightenment. Vladimir was
1400
01:26:10.590 --> 01:26:13.609
one of 13 children in a devout Christian household, and
1401
01:26:13.649 --> 01:26:16.810
his siblings recalled that nobody was as spiritual or as
1402
01:26:16.869 --> 01:26:21.550
devoted as Vlad. In August 2018, Vladimir set out on
1403
01:26:21.569 --> 01:26:25.329
the 14-mile hike to the Purchase Creek Valley in Hatcher Pass, Alaska.
1404
01:26:26.109 --> 01:26:28.770
Alaska had been on Vladimir's bucket list, and now he
1405
01:26:28.789 --> 01:26:31.689
was finally there. He told his friends and family that
1406
01:26:31.729 --> 01:26:33.609
he was going to stay in a small cabin along
1407
01:26:33.630 --> 01:26:37.899
the trail for the next few months. Naturally, Vladimir's family
1408
01:26:37.939 --> 01:26:40.399
were concerned, but their worries were put to bed when
1409
01:26:40.420 --> 01:26:43.060
he confirmed that the cabin had already been fully stocked.
1410
01:26:43.680 --> 01:26:46.380
In August, he said goodbye to his family and headed
1411
01:26:46.439 --> 01:26:50.100
north to Alaska. When he set off on his hike,
1412
01:26:50.479 --> 01:26:53.739
Vladimir was only carrying a backpack, which contained his phone,
1413
01:26:54.180 --> 01:26:57.640
a power bank with solar recharging capabilities, and five pounds
1414
01:26:57.680 --> 01:27:01.020
of oatmeal. With that, he set off into the wilderness.
1415
01:27:01.939 --> 01:27:04.439
The first part of the trip went well, and Vladimir
1416
01:27:04.539 --> 01:27:08.460
thrived in his solitude. From August to October, Vladimir would
1417
01:27:08.479 --> 01:27:10.960
text his friends and family, and some even stopped by
1418
01:27:11.000 --> 01:27:14.600
the cabin to see him. However, the messages abruptly stopped
1419
01:27:14.640 --> 01:27:18.239
in October, and by November, Vladimir's friends knew something had
1420
01:27:18.300 --> 01:27:22.550
gone wrong. Despite the solitude of the trip, Vladimir had
1421
01:27:22.569 --> 01:27:25.140
kept in contact with his friends throughout, so when the
1422
01:27:25.180 --> 01:27:29.220
text messages ended, they knew they had to act. Two
1423
01:27:29.239 --> 01:27:31.260
of his friends had access to a plane and they
1424
01:27:31.279 --> 01:27:34.640
decided to fly over the desolate cabin. Here, they saw
1425
01:27:34.720 --> 01:27:37.560
Vladimir outside of the cabin, waiting to receive the food
1426
01:27:37.600 --> 01:27:40.779
and gifts. As the plane circled overhead and headed for
1427
01:27:40.819 --> 01:27:43.979
Washington once more, they caught a glimpse of Vladimir outside
1428
01:27:44.000 --> 01:27:46.260
of the cabin. This would be the last time he
1429
01:27:46.300 --> 01:27:49.829
would ever be seen or heard from again. In December,
1430
01:27:50.029 --> 01:27:52.880
his absence was noted once more and his friends deployed
1431
01:27:52.909 --> 01:27:55.119
the same strategy they had used the first time around,
1432
01:27:55.579 --> 01:27:58.279
but it was of no use. This time, there was
1433
01:27:58.359 --> 01:28:01.960
no sign of Vladimir. His friends decided to disembark and
1434
01:28:01.979 --> 01:28:04.699
approach the cabin and as they grew closer, they realized
1435
01:28:04.739 --> 01:28:06.500
that the door had been nailed shut with a piece
1436
01:28:06.539 --> 01:28:09.920
of metal over it. Fearing for their friend's life, the
1437
01:28:09.939 --> 01:28:12.939
men forced themselves inside, only to find that the cabin
1438
01:28:13.000 --> 01:28:17.260
was completely empty. The only clue left behind was a
1439
01:28:17.300 --> 01:28:21.479
message written in Russian that read, frankincense aroma do not burn.
1440
01:28:22.460 --> 01:28:24.640
His supplies were missing and there was no trace of
1441
01:28:24.659 --> 01:28:28.729
Vladimir in the snowy woods outside. His friends looked far
1442
01:28:28.770 --> 01:28:32.390
and wide and contacted Alaska State Troopers who sent land
1443
01:28:32.449 --> 01:28:36.430
and air crews. Despite an extensive search, no sign of
1444
01:28:36.449 --> 01:28:40.380
Vladimir has ever been found. Vladimir's family believed that he
1445
01:28:40.439 --> 01:28:43.819
likely succumbed to the elements while hiking. According to the
1446
01:28:43.859 --> 01:28:46.680
Charlie Project, Vladimir may have been fasting at the time
1447
01:28:47.060 --> 01:28:49.500
and had arrived at the cabin with very minimal clothing,
1448
01:28:49.819 --> 01:28:53.020
which was not suited for the Alaskan winter. His family
1449
01:28:53.039 --> 01:28:55.199
hopes he is now at peace but still wants to
1450
01:28:55.239 --> 01:28:59.729
know what happened to him. Vladimir Petrovich Kostenko is described
1451
01:28:59.770 --> 01:29:02.960
as a white male with brown hair, green eyes, standing
1452
01:29:02.960 --> 01:29:07.119
6 foot 1 inches tall and weighing 145 pounds. Vladimir
1453
01:29:07.159 --> 01:29:10.899
speaks limited English, with Russian being his mother tongue. He
1454
01:29:10.920 --> 01:29:14.119
was last seen wearing a light jacket and black jogging bottoms.
1455
01:29:15.319 --> 01:29:17.979
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Alaska
1456
01:29:18.000 --> 01:29:32.090
State Troopers at 907-269-5511 and reference case number AK18090660. Number 10,
1457
01:29:32.090 --> 01:29:37.010
Matthew Charles Kraft. 24-year-old Matthew Charles Kraft will always be
1458
01:29:37.090 --> 01:29:39.289
remembered by those who knew him and loved him as
1459
01:29:39.329 --> 01:29:43.130
a kind and caring young man. In 2019, Matthew was
1460
01:29:43.170 --> 01:29:46.069
an infantry Marine and platoon leader with the 1st Battalion,
1461
01:29:46.439 --> 01:29:49.399
7th Marines at Camp Pendleton in California, and he was
1462
01:29:49.460 --> 01:29:54.579
well-liked and respected among his platoon. In February 2019, Matthew
1463
01:29:54.619 --> 01:29:57.300
took leave from the Marines to complete a two-week backpacking
1464
01:29:57.340 --> 01:29:59.899
holiday which would take him along the High Sierra Route.
1465
01:30:00.710 --> 01:30:04.229
According to sources, the route parallels the John Muir Trail,
1466
01:30:04.329 --> 01:30:09.449
with elevations ranging from 9,000 to 11,500 feet. Matthew had
1467
01:30:09.510 --> 01:30:12.409
planned to complete the 200-mile hike over 10 days before
1468
01:30:12.479 --> 01:30:15.260
returning to Bridgeport, California, where he and his group will
1469
01:30:15.279 --> 01:30:19.500
be deployed to Afghanistan. Unfortunately, Matthew never made it back
1470
01:30:19.539 --> 01:30:22.119
to base as planned, and the mystery of his disappearance
1471
01:30:22.180 --> 01:30:27.220
began on February 24, 2019. On that day, Matthew started
1472
01:30:27.260 --> 01:30:29.779
his 10-day long journey and had planned to be back
1473
01:30:29.819 --> 01:30:33.579
by March 4th or 5th. The Orange County Register reports
1474
01:30:33.619 --> 01:30:37.140
that on February 22nd, Matthew spoke to his father, Greg,
1475
01:30:37.479 --> 01:30:40.840
for what would be the last time. Greg reported that
1476
01:30:40.880 --> 01:30:43.000
Matthew was in good spirits and the two went over
1477
01:30:43.060 --> 01:30:46.640
Matthew's plans, which included his arrival date on March 4th
1478
01:30:46.659 --> 01:30:50.579
or 5th. When March 5th rolled around, Matthew's parents and
1479
01:30:50.619 --> 01:30:53.000
his Marine buddies became concerned that they had not heard
1480
01:30:53.060 --> 01:30:56.000
from him. But the next day, when Matthew had still
1481
01:30:56.020 --> 01:30:59.260
not made contact with him, everyone knew something was wrong
1482
01:30:59.359 --> 01:31:02.819
and the search for him began in earnest. The search
1483
01:31:02.859 --> 01:31:05.890
for Matthew was a multi-agency approach with the Mono County
1484
01:31:05.930 --> 01:31:09.890
Sheriff's Office, the Inyo County Sheriff's Office, the Fresno County
1485
01:31:09.909 --> 01:31:13.430
Sheriff's Office, and the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Unit all
1486
01:31:13.470 --> 01:31:18.539
joining the investigation. On March 8, 2019, The gray Jeep
1487
01:31:18.600 --> 01:31:21.239
Wrangler that Matthew had been renting was discovered near Gray's
1488
01:31:21.310 --> 01:31:25.130
Meadows Campground above Independence, and reports indicate that there was
1489
01:31:25.189 --> 01:31:28.430
evidence of an avalanche in the area. According to the
1490
01:31:28.470 --> 01:31:31.409
Orange County Register, the search and rescue effort by Marines
1491
01:31:31.449 --> 01:31:34.520
from the Mountain Warfare Training Center in Bridgeport and 13
1492
01:31:34.520 --> 01:31:37.539
agencies covered an area larger than the state of Rhode Island.
1493
01:31:38.420 --> 01:31:40.800
Helicopters and ground crews were sent out along the High
1494
01:31:40.840 --> 01:31:43.600
Sierra Route, which runs through parts of the Sequoia and
1495
01:31:43.659 --> 01:31:47.739
Kings National Parks, along with other wilderness areas. However, no
1496
01:31:47.779 --> 01:31:51.289
sign of Matthew was found. Heat signals were captured by
1497
01:31:51.350 --> 01:31:54.210
one of the helicopters. However, this was later discovered to
1498
01:31:54.250 --> 01:31:58.430
be a hibernating bear. Adverse weather conditions hampered the efforts
1499
01:31:58.489 --> 01:32:01.449
of search and rescue crews, and heavy snowfall forced the
1500
01:32:01.470 --> 01:32:04.369
group to suspend their efforts until it was safe to proceed.
1501
01:32:05.189 --> 01:32:08.859
Despite this huge multi-agency approach, no sign of Matthew has
1502
01:32:08.899 --> 01:32:11.460
ever been found and is believed that he perished while
1503
01:32:11.520 --> 01:32:14.479
out on the trail. In the wake of his disappearance,
1504
01:32:14.760 --> 01:32:17.810
the Marine Corps posthumously promoted him to the rank of captain.
1505
01:32:18.869 --> 01:32:21.350
Memorial service was held for Matthew with the Marine Corps
1506
01:32:21.430 --> 01:32:25.189
writing that Matthew Kraft passed away after being overcome by
1507
01:32:25.250 --> 01:32:28.899
severe winter storms. No sign of Matthew has ever been
1508
01:32:28.960 --> 01:32:31.720
found and his family are desperate to find his body
1509
01:32:31.979 --> 01:32:35.779
and get closure. Anyone with any information is asked to
1510
01:32:35.819 --> 01:32:43.239
contact the Mono County Coroner at 760-932-7549 and reference case
1511
01:32:43.279 --> 01:32:52.989
number 19-86. Number 9. Alois Jacob Kroost In 2013, Alois
1512
01:32:53.069 --> 01:32:56.210
Jacob Kroost arrived in the United States to attend a conference,
1513
01:32:56.350 --> 01:32:58.369
and while he was in the country, he decided to
1514
01:32:58.409 --> 01:33:01.449
go on a few hikes. Alois worked as a professor
1515
01:33:01.489 --> 01:33:04.090
at the University of Mandenberg in Germany and was well-liked
1516
01:33:04.130 --> 01:33:08.479
and respected among his colleagues. On August 1, 2013, he
1517
01:33:08.979 --> 01:33:11.659
headed out to the San Bernardino Mountains in California with
1518
01:33:11.680 --> 01:33:14.630
a hiking group. The plan was for the group to
1519
01:33:14.670 --> 01:33:17.789
hike the Pinnacle Trail in the Lake Arrowhead area. However,
1520
01:33:17.970 --> 01:33:22.180
at around 5.45 p.m., Alois became separated from the group.
1521
01:33:23.140 --> 01:33:26.779
According to reports, Alois was an experienced hiker. However, at
1522
01:33:26.819 --> 01:33:28.920
the time of his disappearance, he was not carrying any
1523
01:33:28.979 --> 01:33:32.939
hiking equipment. He was also proficient in hunting, but without
1524
01:33:32.960 --> 01:33:35.060
the right equipment, the group knew that he would not
1525
01:33:35.119 --> 01:33:38.819
survive for long. When his absence was noted, the San
1526
01:33:38.840 --> 01:33:42.310
Bernardino County Sheriff's Office was notified and began their extensive
1527
01:33:42.350 --> 01:33:47.050
search for Alois. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office, search
1528
01:33:47.090 --> 01:33:50.850
and rescue groups, and volunteers scoured the San Bernardino Mountains
1529
01:33:50.869 --> 01:33:53.909
for Alois, but ultimately no sign of him was ever found.
1530
01:33:54.750 --> 01:33:59.289
Since October 2013, Alois Case has sat cold and his
1531
01:33:59.350 --> 01:34:03.460
family and friends in Germany are desperate for answers. Alois
1532
01:34:03.520 --> 01:34:06.399
is described as a white male with brown hair, blue eyes,
1533
01:34:06.760 --> 01:34:11.970
around 5'10'' tall and 185 lbs. He speaks fluent English
1534
01:34:12.050 --> 01:34:14.890
and German and was last seen wearing a long-sleeved, light
1535
01:34:14.930 --> 01:34:18.770
blue button-down shirt, dark blue jeans, and lightweight hiking shoes.
1536
01:34:19.989 --> 01:34:22.289
The Charlie Project notes that his name may be spelled
1537
01:34:22.329 --> 01:34:28.270
A-L-O-I-S or A-L-Y-O-F. Anyone with any information is asked to
1538
01:34:28.329 --> 01:34:31.909
contact Detective Scott Tease of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's
1539
01:34:31.979 --> 01:34:46.109
Office at 909-336-0600 and reference case number 051. 301-914. Number eight,
1540
01:34:46.949 --> 01:34:53.390
Vernon Cody Matthews. In June 2014, 23-year-old Vernon Cody Matthews,
1541
01:34:53.550 --> 01:34:55.829
who went by Cody, was excited to stay at his
1542
01:34:55.869 --> 01:34:58.939
family's cabin in the lower Sierra Nevada mountains in California.
1543
01:35:00.069 --> 01:35:02.479
At the time, Cody was an anthropology student and he
1544
01:35:02.520 --> 01:35:04.619
was looking forward to spending the summer living off the
1545
01:35:04.659 --> 01:35:07.180
land and putting to use the techniques he had learned
1546
01:35:07.199 --> 01:35:11.609
during his studies. In early June 2014, Cody headed down
1547
01:35:11.630 --> 01:35:13.949
to his family's summer cabin to get a head start
1548
01:35:14.029 --> 01:35:16.930
on his parents. The agreement was that in a few days,
1549
01:35:17.369 --> 01:35:21.130
they would join him and they would enjoy their vacation together. However,
1550
01:35:21.310 --> 01:35:23.630
when his parents Vern and Cindy arrived at the cabin,
1551
01:35:23.909 --> 01:35:26.770
they found it empty. Not only was there no sign
1552
01:35:26.789 --> 01:35:29.630
of their son, but the cabin had been completely ransacked
1553
01:35:29.909 --> 01:35:34.399
and around $ 18, 000 worth of items had been stolen. Cody
1554
01:35:34.409 --> 01:35:36.680
had called them within the first days of his arrival
1555
01:35:36.770 --> 01:35:38.819
to let them know that the cabin had been broken
1556
01:35:38.859 --> 01:35:41.760
into and that he planned to secure it in anticipation
1557
01:35:41.779 --> 01:35:46.550
of their arrival. The MT Democrat reported that a large saw,
1558
01:35:46.989 --> 01:35:49.109
only capable of being moved by more than one person,
1559
01:35:49.289 --> 01:35:53.170
was sitting in the driveway. A camera, meant to catch wildlife,
1560
01:35:53.489 --> 01:35:56.569
set up in the front driveway area, was missing. Another
1561
01:35:56.630 --> 01:35:59.720
security camera's line had been cut. The side of the
1562
01:35:59.760 --> 01:36:02.779
house had been forcibly opened by bending the locking bar
1563
01:36:02.899 --> 01:36:06.699
and destroying the door frame. Byrne and Cindy knew that
1564
01:36:06.760 --> 01:36:09.899
something was very wrong. Their cabin had been broken into
1565
01:36:09.939 --> 01:36:12.609
and ransacked, and now there was no sign of their son.
1566
01:36:13.149 --> 01:36:16.050
They contacted the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office to report
1567
01:36:16.090 --> 01:36:20.090
both incidents, and during the initial investigation, the Sheriff's Office
1568
01:36:20.130 --> 01:36:23.970
did not believe that the two incidents were connected. With
1569
01:36:24.010 --> 01:36:27.210
Cody now missing, the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office launched
1570
01:36:27.250 --> 01:36:30.329
a missing person investigation, and it's been reported that Cody
1571
01:36:30.350 --> 01:36:35.590
was last seen on June 6, 2014. The Charlie Project
1572
01:36:35.609 --> 01:36:38.229
reports that on that day, Cody left a family cabin
1573
01:36:38.250 --> 01:36:40.659
to go on a hike, leaving behind most of his
1574
01:36:40.699 --> 01:36:44.220
personal belongings. Cody had called his mother beforehand to let
1575
01:36:44.239 --> 01:36:46.300
her know he was going on that short hike, and
1576
01:36:46.319 --> 01:36:49.119
that he would call her later, but sadly, that call
1577
01:36:49.159 --> 01:36:52.819
never came. Cody only intended to go for a short hike,
1578
01:36:52.899 --> 01:36:54.789
and as such, the only things he took with him
1579
01:36:54.829 --> 01:36:57.909
was a water bottle, a hunting knife, a compass, a
1580
01:36:57.930 --> 01:37:01.670
bag of trail mix, and his phone. Investigators did manage
1581
01:37:01.710 --> 01:37:04.909
to track Cody's phone and it last pinged at around 6.30 p.m.
1582
01:37:04.949 --> 01:37:07.590
that night around the south fork of the American River.
1583
01:37:08.649 --> 01:37:11.720
The Democrat-led reported that the ping showed him going back
1584
01:37:11.760 --> 01:37:14.180
in the direction of the cabin before ending in the water.
1585
01:37:15.119 --> 01:37:17.500
But there's no evidence Cody is in the river or
1586
01:37:17.579 --> 01:37:21.079
on the banks. Footsteps were found leading out of the river,
1587
01:37:21.560 --> 01:37:26.069
which were thought to likely be Cody's. Search and rescue teams, volunteers,
1588
01:37:26.189 --> 01:37:28.729
and the El Dorado Sheriff's Office continue to search the
1589
01:37:28.750 --> 01:37:31.350
American River and the area around the cabin for eight
1590
01:37:31.390 --> 01:37:35.010
days until the search was finally called off. Despite the
1591
01:37:35.050 --> 01:37:37.489
sheer amount of ground that was covered, no sign of
1592
01:37:37.569 --> 01:37:40.649
Cody was ever found. Cody's parents noted that he was
1593
01:37:40.689 --> 01:37:43.340
an experienced hiker and also loved to kayak and canoe,
1594
01:37:43.840 --> 01:37:46.560
although there is no evidence that Cody went into the river.
1595
01:37:47.840 --> 01:37:51.380
Just two months after Cody's disappearance, the family's cabin burned
1596
01:37:51.420 --> 01:37:55.180
down during a wildfire that ravaged the area. The perpetrator
1597
01:37:55.220 --> 01:37:58.050
of the fire was arrested and charged, but investigators do
1598
01:37:58.090 --> 01:38:00.529
not believe that the fire is linked to Cody's disappearance.
1599
01:38:01.510 --> 01:38:04.710
Since 2014, Vern and Cindy have been at the forefront
1600
01:38:04.729 --> 01:38:06.829
of the search for their son, with Vern quitting his
1601
01:38:06.869 --> 01:38:10.090
job in order to dedicate himself to the investigation full-time.
1602
01:38:11.010 --> 01:38:14.369
In a 2014 interview, Vern told the Democrat, With his
1603
01:38:14.409 --> 01:38:17.029
skills and knowledge of the backcountry, the chance of him
1604
01:38:17.050 --> 01:38:27.390
not being able to thrive is slim. Vernon Cody Matthews
1605
01:38:27.569 --> 01:38:30.600
is still missing and his family needs your help. Cody
1606
01:38:30.609 --> 01:38:32.920
is described as a white male with blonde hair, a
1607
01:38:32.979 --> 01:38:36.600
reddish beard, blue eyes, standing 6 foot 3 inches tall
1608
01:38:36.699 --> 01:38:39.859
and weighing 220 pounds. He has a slight scar on
1609
01:38:39.880 --> 01:38:42.199
the left side of his nostril and was last seen
1610
01:38:42.260 --> 01:38:46.640
wearing shorts, no t-shirt, and toe shoes or barefoot style
1611
01:38:46.680 --> 01:38:50.770
shoes that leave a footprint. Anyone with any information is
1612
01:38:50.869 --> 01:38:53.550
asked to please contact the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office
1613
01:38:54.130 --> 01:39:08.300
at 530-621-6600 and reference case number 14-052-327. Number 7. Terry J.
1614
01:39:08.460 --> 01:39:12.939
Medder On October 19, 2018, Terry Medder headed out on
1615
01:39:12.979 --> 01:39:15.779
a solo hiking trip in Rock Springs, Wyoming and has
1616
01:39:15.819 --> 01:39:19.310
never been seen or heard from again. There are scant
1617
01:39:19.369 --> 01:39:22.229
few details in Terry's case, and it has been reported
1618
01:39:22.270 --> 01:39:25.989
that Terry had previously been hospitalized for psychiatric intervention and
1619
01:39:26.029 --> 01:39:29.170
was taking medication for the bipolar disorder he suffered and
1620
01:39:29.210 --> 01:39:32.449
was stable at the time of his disappearance. Terry was
1621
01:39:32.510 --> 01:39:34.649
known to go off into the wilderness alone to hike
1622
01:39:34.729 --> 01:39:37.050
and hunt, but when he failed to return home or
1623
01:39:37.090 --> 01:39:41.710
make contact by October 25, 2018, his family reported him missing.
1624
01:39:42.729 --> 01:39:46.489
Shortly after he was reported missing, His 2013 Chevrolet pickup
1625
01:39:46.529 --> 01:39:49.229
truck was found abandoned on an access road two and
1626
01:39:49.250 --> 01:39:52.989
three-quarter miles from the summit of Pine Mountain in Sweetwater County, Wyoming.
1627
01:39:54.020 --> 01:39:57.359
According to the Cowboy State Daily, it was found high-centered
1628
01:39:57.399 --> 01:40:01.140
in a large rut with Terry's rifle, binoculars, hunting license,
1629
01:40:01.239 --> 01:40:03.800
and a small cooler containing a couple of bottles of
1630
01:40:03.840 --> 01:40:06.039
water and a can of soda, along with some other
1631
01:40:06.079 --> 01:40:09.739
snacks still inside. The driver's window was found rolled down
1632
01:40:09.939 --> 01:40:12.359
to allow Terry to presumably climb out of the vehicle
1633
01:40:12.720 --> 01:40:16.079
given the steep angle of the truck. The Cowboy State
1634
01:40:16.119 --> 01:40:19.220
Daily also wrote that dried mud inside the vehicle and
1635
01:40:19.300 --> 01:40:21.119
on a shovel tossed in the back of the truck
1636
01:40:21.260 --> 01:40:23.819
indicated that Terry had attempted and failed to dig his
1637
01:40:23.859 --> 01:40:27.800
truck out of the rut. Investigators found footprints leading away
1638
01:40:27.840 --> 01:40:30.899
from the truck and onto an access road. However, these
1639
01:40:30.979 --> 01:40:35.979
prints mysteriously stopped. A half-smoked cigarette was also found, with
1640
01:40:36.010 --> 01:40:38.090
Terry's son confirming that it was the brand that his
1641
01:40:38.130 --> 01:40:42.010
father smoked. It appears that DNA testing was performed on
1642
01:40:42.029 --> 01:40:46.729
the cigarette, However, the results came back inconclusive. A wide-scale
1643
01:40:46.770 --> 01:40:50.250
search showed no clues, and on November 14, 2018, the
1644
01:40:50.810 --> 01:40:55.229
search was officially called off. The Sweetwater County Search and Rescue,
1645
01:40:55.649 --> 01:40:58.979
Tip Top Search and Rescue, the University of Utah Air Med,
1646
01:40:59.579 --> 01:41:03.859
dog units, volunteers, and the Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office all
1647
01:41:03.899 --> 01:41:06.060
turned out to help in the search for Terry, but
1648
01:41:06.100 --> 01:41:09.560
no sign of him has ever been found. His family
1649
01:41:09.600 --> 01:41:11.640
do not believe that he left of his own volition,
1650
01:41:12.109 --> 01:41:14.350
and ensured investigators that he was stable at the time
1651
01:41:14.369 --> 01:41:18.470
of his disappearance. Terry had previously confided in friends that
1652
01:41:18.489 --> 01:41:20.390
he would like his life to end on his terms
1653
01:41:21.010 --> 01:41:23.069
and that he would like to do it alone, but
1654
01:41:23.090 --> 01:41:25.590
there were no indications that Terry wanted to take his
1655
01:41:25.670 --> 01:41:28.550
own life at the time of his disappearance. His family
1656
01:41:28.569 --> 01:41:31.869
are still desperately seeking answers and are appealing to anyone
1657
01:41:32.069 --> 01:41:36.670
with information to please come forward. Terry J. Medder is
1658
01:41:36.710 --> 01:41:39.409
described as a white male with gray hair, blue eyes,
1659
01:41:39.609 --> 01:41:42.720
standing 5 foot 10 inches tall, and weighing 180 pounds.
1660
01:41:43.760 --> 01:41:47.500
Terry requires medication for his bipolar disorder, and he's previously
1661
01:41:47.520 --> 01:41:51.060
been hospitalized as a result of this condition. Terry is
1662
01:41:51.079 --> 01:41:53.359
known to smoke cigarettes and was last seen wearing an
1663
01:41:53.420 --> 01:41:57.359
orange jacket. Anyone with any information is asked to please
1664
01:41:57.399 --> 01:42:01.659
contact Detective Matthew Wharton of the Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office
1665
01:42:01.689 --> 01:42:14.810
at 307-922-5300 and reference case numbers S-18-10. 1-8-5-3-8 and R-1-8-3-2-0-8-9.
1666
01:42:15.510 --> 01:42:23.609
Number six, Ralph Allen Newcomb. On April 17th, 1989, Ralph
1667
01:42:23.689 --> 01:42:26.180
Newcomb kissed his wife goodbye as she headed out the
1668
01:42:26.189 --> 01:42:29.739
door of their Seattle, Washington home. She had no idea
1669
01:42:29.760 --> 01:42:31.420
this would be the last time she would ever see
1670
01:42:31.479 --> 01:42:33.600
or hear from her husband, and when she returned home
1671
01:42:33.640 --> 01:42:36.859
later that night, he was gone. There are very few
1672
01:42:36.939 --> 01:42:39.750
details available in Ralph's case, But what we do know
1673
01:42:40.069 --> 01:42:44.310
is that in 1988, he moved from Kodiak, Alaska to Seattle,
1674
01:42:44.350 --> 01:42:48.630
Washington to set up his business. In Alaska, Ralph worked
1675
01:42:48.689 --> 01:42:51.310
as a carpenter and somewhat of a house flipper and
1676
01:42:51.369 --> 01:42:55.489
also attended college in Alaska. After realizing that her husband
1677
01:42:55.510 --> 01:42:58.470
had disappeared, Mrs. Newcomb reported him missing to the King
1678
01:42:58.489 --> 01:43:03.189
County Sheriff's Office and on April 18th, 1989, Ralph's red
1679
01:43:03.220 --> 01:43:09.510
and white Ford 300 series truck, Washington Plate A69-514 was
1680
01:43:09.550 --> 01:43:12.470
found abandoned across the road from the Alaska Ferry Terminal
1681
01:43:12.529 --> 01:43:17.250
in Seattle. Inside the truck were his tools, wallet, and ID.
1682
01:43:18.130 --> 01:43:20.649
According to the Charlie Project, Ralph had left both his
1683
01:43:20.689 --> 01:43:24.479
glasses and contact lenses at home along with an uncashed check.
1684
01:43:25.579 --> 01:43:29.100
Since April of 1989, Ralph has never made contact with
1685
01:43:29.140 --> 01:43:31.579
his family or friends and they are desperate to find
1686
01:43:31.659 --> 01:43:35.100
out what happened to him. Many believe that Ralph simply
1687
01:43:35.140 --> 01:43:37.939
walked away and started a new life and according to
1688
01:43:37.979 --> 01:43:41.050
the Charlie Project, There are indications that Ralph was in
1689
01:43:41.090 --> 01:43:46.119
Wyoming and Montana after his disappearance. Ralph also has connections
1690
01:43:46.180 --> 01:43:48.560
to Missouri, and that is where he grew up, and
1691
01:43:48.699 --> 01:43:53.640
Illinois as he attended Southern Illinois University. His wife, family,
1692
01:43:53.680 --> 01:43:56.310
and friends are desperate to hear from him or hear
1693
01:43:56.350 --> 01:43:58.569
any news as to what happened to him all those
1694
01:43:58.609 --> 01:44:01.869
years ago. Ralph is described as a white male with
1695
01:44:01.930 --> 01:44:05.550
brown hair, a full beard, blue eyes. He stands 5
1696
01:44:05.550 --> 01:44:10.010
foot 11 inches tall and weighs 170 pounds. Anyone with
1697
01:44:10.069 --> 01:44:13.529
any information is asked to contact Detective Jim Allen of
1698
01:44:13.550 --> 01:44:16.949
the King County Sheriff's Office at 206-296-4155 and reference case
1699
01:44:16.989 --> 01:44:32.829
number 89-096850. Number 5. Charles Edwin Palmer In June 1999,
1700
01:44:32.829 --> 01:44:37.149
the Palmer family were blindsided by tragedy when their 15-year-old son, Michael,
1701
01:44:37.329 --> 01:44:41.310
mysteriously disappeared after attending a graduation party near Meadow Lake
1702
01:44:41.439 --> 01:44:45.560
in Wasilla, Alaska. The disappearance of Michael hit the family hard,
1703
01:44:45.760 --> 01:44:50.479
including his older brother, Charles, Chucky Palmer. The family did
1704
01:44:50.520 --> 01:44:53.239
the best they could to find Michael, but then they
1705
01:44:53.279 --> 01:44:57.020
had to move on without him. Just 11 years after
1706
01:44:57.079 --> 01:45:00.649
Michael Palmer disappeared, the Palmer family would find themselves facing
1707
01:45:00.689 --> 01:45:05.869
a similar scenario when Chucky also disappeared. Since then, the
1708
01:45:05.909 --> 01:45:08.810
Palmer family have been fighting for justice and answers for
1709
01:45:08.850 --> 01:45:12.909
their two beloved sons. Chucky was one of five children
1710
01:45:12.989 --> 01:45:15.659
with his older brother Chris and younger brother Michael, who
1711
01:45:15.680 --> 01:45:19.539
was also the youngest child. By 2010, Chucky was a
1712
01:45:19.579 --> 01:45:22.399
father himself to three children and was working towards securing
1713
01:45:22.439 --> 01:45:26.140
a bright future for them. April 10th of 2010, though,
1714
01:45:26.300 --> 01:45:28.279
would be the day that the lives of the Palmers
1715
01:45:28.310 --> 01:45:33.170
would be turned upside down yet again. On April 10th, Chucky, Chris,
1716
01:45:33.310 --> 01:45:36.930
their stepfather, and two friends headed out to the Talkeetna Mountains.
1717
01:45:37.710 --> 01:45:39.989
The group of fellows had planned to ride their snowmobiles
1718
01:45:40.010 --> 01:45:42.449
through the thick blankets of snow that had fallen and
1719
01:45:42.489 --> 01:45:45.960
also do some camping and hunting. The boys' trip was
1720
01:45:45.979 --> 01:45:48.239
the perfect break for Chucky, and he was looking forward
1721
01:45:48.279 --> 01:45:51.189
to being out in nature once more. The men piled
1722
01:45:51.229 --> 01:45:56.659
into a cabin near Sheep Creek and began their snowmobiling adventures. Unfortunately,
1723
01:45:57.079 --> 01:46:00.340
just hours into the trip, the handlebar on Chucky's snowmobile
1724
01:46:00.399 --> 01:46:03.479
snapped which forced him to use a different one. This
1725
01:46:03.539 --> 01:46:06.310
change of equipment didn't spoil their fun and after acquainting
1726
01:46:06.350 --> 01:46:09.350
himself with a new snowmobile, the group quickly rode off
1727
01:46:09.430 --> 01:46:12.470
into the distance. Chucky was seen by the group for
1728
01:46:12.489 --> 01:46:15.810
the last time at 7.15 pm. According to those with
1729
01:46:15.850 --> 01:46:17.449
him that day, he was at the back of the
1730
01:46:17.470 --> 01:46:19.840
group and took a wrong turn which separated him from
1731
01:46:19.880 --> 01:46:23.560
the rest. When they realized that Chucky was missing, it
1732
01:46:23.600 --> 01:46:25.680
was already too late and he had driven off along
1733
01:46:25.699 --> 01:46:29.279
the wrong track on his snowmobile. The group hoped that
1734
01:46:29.359 --> 01:46:31.819
Chucky would find his way back to the cabin, but
1735
01:46:31.840 --> 01:46:33.659
as the morning sun rose and there was still no
1736
01:46:33.729 --> 01:46:36.229
sign of him, they called the Alaska State Troopers and
1737
01:46:36.270 --> 01:46:39.529
reported him missing. The Palmers now had two members of
1738
01:46:39.550 --> 01:46:43.489
their family who had disappeared into the wilderness. A search
1739
01:46:43.510 --> 01:46:46.210
was coordinated by the Alaska State Troopers and local search
1740
01:46:46.250 --> 01:46:49.699
and rescue teams, and shortly after Chucky was reported missing,
1741
01:46:50.199 --> 01:46:54.420
the Alaska State Troopers found his snowmobile. The vehicle was
1742
01:46:54.439 --> 01:46:57.199
several miles away from the cabin at Sheep Creek and
1743
01:46:57.220 --> 01:47:00.180
had been covered with several feet of snow. There was
1744
01:47:00.239 --> 01:47:02.689
no sign of Chucky and no footprints in the snow,
1745
01:47:03.529 --> 01:47:05.710
and the fact that there were no tracks or footprints
1746
01:47:05.869 --> 01:47:11.069
deeply puzzled investigators. So where was Chucky? He was dressed
1747
01:47:11.090 --> 01:47:13.409
appropriately for the weather but had no food or water
1748
01:47:13.430 --> 01:47:17.899
with him and no GPS personal locator device. Despite a
1749
01:47:17.920 --> 01:47:20.779
wide-scale search that was eventually called off due to bad weather,
1750
01:47:21.310 --> 01:47:24.289
no sign of Chucky has ever been found. With no
1751
01:47:24.350 --> 01:47:26.930
tracks or footprints to suggest where he may have been headed,
1752
01:47:27.050 --> 01:47:29.869
his family has since had him declared deceased in absentia.
1753
01:47:30.810 --> 01:47:33.010
His family are desperate to find out what happened to
1754
01:47:33.050 --> 01:47:36.020
Chucky and are appealing to anyone with information to please
1755
01:47:36.060 --> 01:47:40.880
come forward. Charles Chucky Edwin Palmer is described as a
1756
01:47:40.920 --> 01:47:44.319
white male with brown hair, blue eyes, standing approximately 5
1757
01:47:44.319 --> 01:47:46.979
foot 11 inches tall, and weighing about 150 pounds. He
1758
01:47:47.000 --> 01:47:51.180
was last seen wearing a black Gore-Tex jacket and vest,
1759
01:47:51.800 --> 01:47:55.199
black snow pants, black boots, and a black snowboarding helmet.
1760
01:47:55.859 --> 01:47:58.970
Anyone with any information is asked to please contact Melia
1761
01:47:58.979 --> 01:48:02.369
Miller of the Alaska State Troopers at 907-269-5511 and reference
1762
01:48:02.529 --> 01:48:18.729
case number 100-029-713. Number four. Timothy Verne Perryman In late 2002,
1763
01:48:18.729 --> 01:48:21.649
Timothy Verne Perryman's world fell down around him after he
1764
01:48:21.689 --> 01:48:25.380
lost his job as a financial analyst. Timothy had obtained
1765
01:48:25.420 --> 01:48:28.199
his degree in business administration years earlier and had worked
1766
01:48:28.300 --> 01:48:33.060
incredibly hard to establish his career. By early 2004, however,
1767
01:48:33.420 --> 01:48:36.159
the shock and depression of losing his job went full swing.
1768
01:48:36.939 --> 01:48:39.960
For now, the 53-year-old and the lives of the Perrymans
1769
01:48:40.000 --> 01:48:42.760
would be further turned upside down on one March day.
1770
01:48:44.020 --> 01:48:48.399
March 28, 2004, Timothy left his home at around 2 p.m.
1771
01:48:49.159 --> 01:48:52.039
on the 29,000 block of Garden Oak Court apartment in
1772
01:48:52.079 --> 01:48:55.760
Agora Hills, California. That day, he and his wife got
1773
01:48:55.800 --> 01:48:58.350
into an argument, and it's unclear whether Timothy left during
1774
01:48:58.359 --> 01:49:02.649
the argument or after. His neighbors recalled seeing him walking
1775
01:49:02.689 --> 01:49:05.789
briskly south along Daylight Drive, and that was the last
1776
01:49:05.829 --> 01:49:08.720
time he was ever seen. When he failed to return
1777
01:49:08.760 --> 01:49:11.520
home later that day, his wife reported him missing to
1778
01:49:11.539 --> 01:49:15.859
the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The concern for Timothy's
1779
01:49:15.920 --> 01:49:18.310
welfare grew as time went by with his family and
1780
01:49:18.350 --> 01:49:22.729
authorities fearing that he may have harmed himself. Reports indicate
1781
01:49:22.750 --> 01:49:25.090
that he took his driver's license and some photographs when
1782
01:49:25.130 --> 01:49:30.890
he left the house, leaving behind his social security card, automobile, medicine, phone,
1783
01:49:31.189 --> 01:49:35.180
credit cards, and cash. Timothy's son, Steve, later told the
1784
01:49:35.340 --> 01:49:38.439
LA Times, he's a very methodical man, who thinks things
1785
01:49:38.449 --> 01:49:42.560
through clearly before doing them. It's pretty scary. Timothy had
1786
01:49:42.579 --> 01:49:44.739
served as a Boy Scout leader for over 18 years,
1787
01:49:45.020 --> 01:49:47.739
which meant he was adept at surviving in the great outdoors.
1788
01:49:48.560 --> 01:49:51.579
He had many hunting, hiking, and survival skills up his sleeve,
1789
01:49:51.800 --> 01:49:53.840
and his son believes that he likely headed to the
1790
01:49:53.880 --> 01:49:57.720
Santa Monica Mountains to go for a hike. Timothy enjoyed hiking,
1791
01:49:57.800 --> 01:49:59.779
and his son theorized that his father went to the
1792
01:49:59.819 --> 01:50:02.279
mountains to take such a hike to clear his mind.
1793
01:50:03.399 --> 01:50:06.199
Multiple searches have been conducted, however, but no sign of
1794
01:50:06.260 --> 01:50:09.609
Timothy has ever been found. His family does not believe
1795
01:50:09.630 --> 01:50:12.010
that he would abandon them and his wife confirmed that
1796
01:50:12.029 --> 01:50:15.329
the argument that day was only minor. Timothy Pearman is
1797
01:50:15.369 --> 01:50:18.270
still missing and his family is desperate to find out
1798
01:50:18.310 --> 01:50:22.529
what happened to him. Timothy was last seen on March 28,
1799
01:50:22.529 --> 01:50:25.369
2004 at around 2 p.m. and is described as a
1800
01:50:25.409 --> 01:50:28.449
white male with brown hair, hazel eyes, standing 5 foot
1801
01:50:28.449 --> 01:50:32.810
9 inches tall and weighing 185 pounds. Timothy has scars
1802
01:50:32.819 --> 01:50:34.909
from skin grafts on the side of his nose and
1803
01:50:34.930 --> 01:50:37.470
behind his left ear, and a red and purple port
1804
01:50:37.510 --> 01:50:40.069
wine birthmark on the left side of his face, from
1805
01:50:40.109 --> 01:50:42.470
his eyebrow to his upper lip, and he also wears
1806
01:50:42.510 --> 01:50:47.130
prescription glasses. He depends on medication to manage his conditions,
1807
01:50:47.670 --> 01:50:49.489
and at the time of his disappearance was suffering from
1808
01:50:49.550 --> 01:50:53.380
chronic heart, urinary tract, and kidney problems. According to the
1809
01:50:53.409 --> 01:50:56.420
Charlie Project, his kidneys were infected and he was undergoing
1810
01:50:56.460 --> 01:50:58.939
tests to see if he was suffering from prostate cancer.
1811
01:50:59.750 --> 01:51:03.310
Without his medication, Timothy could become seriously ill or even die.
1812
01:51:04.170 --> 01:51:06.170
He may have also been depressed at the time of
1813
01:51:06.210 --> 01:51:09.680
his disappearance. Timothy was last seen wearing a blue and
1814
01:51:09.720 --> 01:51:14.460
white striped long-sleeved polo Oxford dress shirt, blue jeans, white
1815
01:51:14.560 --> 01:51:18.930
tennis shoes, and a gold Seiko watch. Anyone with any
1816
01:51:18.970 --> 01:51:22.750
information is asked to contact Detective Tamar Abram of the
1817
01:51:22.789 --> 01:51:32.239
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department at 323-890-5500 Reference Case 04-018-9022 3.
1818
01:51:32.239 --> 01:51:44.409
Shannon Joy Schell 34-year-old Shannon Joy Schell was determined to
1819
01:51:44.449 --> 01:51:47.479
hike the Tanque Verde Ridge Trail to Manning Camp in
1820
01:51:47.500 --> 01:51:51.640
Segarro National Monument East in Arizona. She had previously tried
1821
01:51:51.659 --> 01:51:53.859
to hike this rugged terrain but had failed and had
1822
01:51:53.899 --> 01:51:57.359
her sights set on finishing what she started. The trail
1823
01:51:57.399 --> 01:51:59.899
was over 32 miles long and covered some rough and
1824
01:51:59.960 --> 01:52:03.000
rugged terrain, but Sharon was an experienced hiker and knew
1825
01:52:03.039 --> 01:52:04.520
that she would be able to push through her limit
1826
01:52:04.579 --> 01:52:08.850
and make it. On October 12th, 1994, Shannon parked her
1827
01:52:08.869 --> 01:52:12.329
Camaro at the trailhead, grabbed her hiking bag, which contained
1828
01:52:12.409 --> 01:52:16.829
water bottles, snacks, clothes, cigarettes, lip gloss, and some cough drops,
1829
01:52:17.170 --> 01:52:19.710
and headed out on her way. At the time of
1830
01:52:19.729 --> 01:52:22.550
the hike, Shannon was recovering from the flu, and despite
1831
01:52:22.590 --> 01:52:24.770
the advice of those around her, she decided to push
1832
01:52:24.789 --> 01:52:28.569
through the pain and discomfort. Unfortunately, Shannon never made it
1833
01:52:28.590 --> 01:52:30.869
to Manning Camp, and when she failed to return to
1834
01:52:30.909 --> 01:52:34.010
her parents' home in Tucson, Arizona, she was reported missing
1835
01:52:34.050 --> 01:52:37.569
to the Pima County Sheriff's Office. The Pima County Sheriff's
1836
01:52:37.649 --> 01:52:39.989
Office and search and rescue crews headed out into the
1837
01:52:40.029 --> 01:52:42.989
Segarro National Monument East in search of Shannon, but they
1838
01:52:43.029 --> 01:52:45.609
failed to find her. All they found was a fire
1839
01:52:45.689 --> 01:52:48.689
ring six miles from the trailhead and a few footprints.
1840
01:52:49.550 --> 01:52:52.430
Investigators were never able to confirm whether this fire or
1841
01:52:52.489 --> 01:52:56.260
footprints belonged to Shannon. This was the only pieces of
1842
01:52:56.319 --> 01:52:59.000
evidence they found in their search, and after failing to
1843
01:52:59.039 --> 01:53:03.739
find her, the search was eventually called off. In 2014,
1844
01:53:03.739 --> 01:53:06.789
Bob Love, chief ranger at Segarro National Park at the time,
1845
01:53:07.149 --> 01:53:11.350
spoke to Tucson.com telling them her, Shannon's, intent was to
1846
01:53:11.390 --> 01:53:14.310
go to Manning Camp, which is a significant hike. It's
1847
01:53:14.409 --> 01:53:17.970
very steep terrain. The 15 miles of trail to Manning
1848
01:53:17.989 --> 01:53:20.430
Camp would have been a challenge for even experienced hikers.
1849
01:53:21.750 --> 01:53:23.710
Shannon wouldn't have been able to do the round trip
1850
01:53:23.750 --> 01:53:27.399
in one day. Dehydration and exposure are risks even in
1851
01:53:27.439 --> 01:53:31.779
the cooler months, including October. Hikers can underestimate the amount
1852
01:53:31.819 --> 01:53:34.000
of water they need and the extra clothing they should
1853
01:53:34.020 --> 01:53:38.340
carry when the weather is temperate. Since October, Shannon's family
1854
01:53:38.359 --> 01:53:40.729
have been desperately searching for her and as of yet,
1855
01:53:40.890 --> 01:53:44.550
there is no sign of her. Shannon Joy Schell is
1856
01:53:44.569 --> 01:53:47.590
described as a white female with brown hair, hazel eyes,
1857
01:53:48.050 --> 01:53:51.149
standing 4 foot 9 inches tall and weighing approximately 85 pounds.
1858
01:53:52.760 --> 01:53:54.600
Shannon was recovering from the flu at the time of
1859
01:53:54.640 --> 01:53:59.340
her disappearance and also suffers from bronchitis. Anyone with any
1860
01:53:59.380 --> 01:54:02.779
information is asked to please contact David Sedlak of the
1861
01:54:02.800 --> 01:54:06.300
Pima County Sheriff's Office at 520-351-4600 and reference case number 941013016.
1862
01:54:06.279 --> 01:54:21.010
Number 2, Teresa Schmidt. 53-year-old Teresa Schmidt was last seen
1863
01:54:21.069 --> 01:54:25.100
on September 6, 2002, near the Lost Valley Guest Ranch, which,
1864
01:54:25.189 --> 01:54:27.819
according to their website, is surrounded by the Rocky Mountains.
1865
01:54:28.819 --> 01:54:31.039
Teresa was visiting the ranch with her husband, and on
1866
01:54:31.100 --> 01:54:34.260
September 6, 2002, she decided to go on a day
1867
01:54:34.300 --> 01:54:38.020
hike while her husband attended a conference. Witnesses recall seeing
1868
01:54:38.039 --> 01:54:40.560
Teresa at around 3 p.m. that day on a trail
1869
01:54:40.600 --> 01:54:43.189
that leads to Rocky Overlook east of the Guest Ranch.
1870
01:54:44.229 --> 01:54:47.100
Teresa and her husband had traveled from Avon, Indiana to
1871
01:54:47.159 --> 01:54:50.180
Jefferson County, Colorado, so that Mr. Schmidt could attend a
1872
01:54:50.199 --> 01:54:53.380
medical conference. When he returned to the guest ranch after
1873
01:54:53.420 --> 01:54:56.039
the conference, he found no sign of his wife and
1874
01:54:56.060 --> 01:54:59.930
immediately reported her missing. There is a lack of information
1875
01:54:59.970 --> 01:55:03.090
in Teresa's case, and it's reported by the Charlie Project
1876
01:55:03.329 --> 01:55:05.409
that while she was reported missing on the evening of
1877
01:55:05.489 --> 01:55:08.890
September 6, 2002, the search for her did not commence
1878
01:55:08.970 --> 01:55:13.630
until 2 a.m. on September 7, 2002. Over the coming days,
1879
01:55:13.710 --> 01:55:17.909
the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, search and rescue personnel, scent dogs,
1880
01:55:18.029 --> 01:55:21.520
and volunteers scoured the area surrounding the Lost Valley Guest Ranch,
1881
01:55:21.939 --> 01:55:25.779
but ultimately failed to find any sign of Teresa. Since
1882
01:55:25.840 --> 01:55:29.760
September 2002, Teresa's case has been cold and it's believed
1883
01:55:29.779 --> 01:55:33.189
she likely got lost while hiking. Two sets of her
1884
01:55:33.199 --> 01:55:35.909
footprints were found near Cheesman Overlook on each side of
1885
01:55:35.930 --> 01:55:40.090
the ridge, but nothing else was ever found. Her family
1886
01:55:40.130 --> 01:55:42.729
are still seeking answers and closure, and are appealing for
1887
01:55:42.850 --> 01:55:46.500
anyone with any information to please come forward. Teresa Schmidt
1888
01:55:46.579 --> 01:55:49.319
is described as a white female with blonde hair, brown eyes,
1889
01:55:49.640 --> 01:55:53.180
standing 5 foot 5 inches tall and weighing 125 pounds.
1890
01:55:54.159 --> 01:55:57.689
She was last seen wearing a turquoise windbreaker, a light-colored t-shirt,
1891
01:55:58.010 --> 01:56:01.989
stonewashed jeans, and a black fanny pack. She was also
1892
01:56:02.029 --> 01:56:04.710
carrying a backpack which contained a heavier jacket and two
1893
01:56:04.750 --> 01:56:08.109
bottles of water. Anyone with any information is asked to
1894
01:56:08.149 --> 01:56:11.300
please contact Jennifer Jones of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office
1895
01:56:11.939 --> 01:56:23.140
at 303-271-5195 and reference case number 02-22973. At number one,
1896
01:56:23.739 --> 01:56:28.399
Robert Dwayne Scott. 63-year-old Robert Dwayne Scott was last seen
1897
01:56:28.439 --> 01:56:33.510
in Grand Junction, Colorado on July 30th, 2002. According to authorities,
1898
01:56:33.750 --> 01:56:36.229
Robert took a nine millimeter handgun with him and left
1899
01:56:36.270 --> 01:56:38.829
behind a note that outlined his intentions to harm himself.
1900
01:56:39.689 --> 01:56:42.579
Once this note was discovered, Robert's disappearance was reported to
1901
01:56:42.600 --> 01:56:45.960
the Mesa County Sheriff's Office, who launched an official investigation.
1902
01:56:46.899 --> 01:56:50.909
Shortly after Robert disappeared, his white 1995 Chevrolet pickup truck
1903
01:56:50.930 --> 01:56:53.930
was found abandoned at the Flat Tops Wilderness Area in
1904
01:56:53.970 --> 01:56:57.970
Garfield County, Colorado. There was no sign of Robert and
1905
01:56:57.989 --> 01:57:00.989
the case went cold until August 16, 2002, when the
1906
01:57:01.029 --> 01:57:04.720
Post-Independent reported that Surgerson found his black backpack along the
1907
01:57:04.760 --> 01:57:08.479
short trail between Jet Lake and the trailhead. According to reports,
1908
01:57:08.600 --> 01:57:10.800
the only thing missing from the bag was a float tube,
1909
01:57:11.100 --> 01:57:13.659
and Robert's family confirmed that he enjoyed fishing and hunting
1910
01:57:13.689 --> 01:57:17.390
in that area. Multiple agencies joined in the search for Robert,
1911
01:57:17.670 --> 01:57:20.729
with the Post Independent reporting that agencies from Garfield County,
1912
01:57:21.170 --> 01:57:25.770
Mesa County, Delta County, Crested Butte, Eagle County, Aspen, and
1913
01:57:25.810 --> 01:57:29.750
Grand County assisted in the search. These teams brought helicopters,
1914
01:57:29.869 --> 01:57:33.659
dog units, ground searchers, and even cavers to help find Robert. However,
1915
01:57:33.760 --> 01:57:37.500
no sign of him was ever detected. Robert Dwayne Scott
1916
01:57:37.640 --> 01:57:40.840
is considered endangered missing and his family are desperate for closure.
1917
01:57:41.640 --> 01:57:44.420
Robert was described as a white male with blonde, strawberry
1918
01:57:44.460 --> 01:57:47.720
blonde hair, blue eyes, standing six foot tall and weighing
1919
01:57:47.720 --> 01:57:51.720
160 pounds. Anyone with any information is asked to contact
1920
01:57:51.760 --> 01:57:54.649
Danny Norris of the Mesa County Sheriff's Office at 970-244-3500
1921
01:57:54.729 --> 01:58:05.119
and reference case 02L6537. And remember, If you or someone
1922
01:58:05.159 --> 01:58:08.050
you know is having difficulty and are considering harming yourself,
1923
01:58:08.670 --> 01:58:12.609

1924
01:58:12.829 --> 01:58:16.229
mental health center or the authorities. There are people out
1925
01:58:16.270 --> 01:58:18.680
there that care about you and that are willing to help.
1926
01:58:19.909 --> 01:58:26.300
In the late 1990s, David Douglas Boone enjoyed success through
1927
01:58:26.319 --> 01:58:29.970
his job as a golf club designer. David worked for Lynx,
1928
01:58:30.149 --> 01:58:32.399
a company that supplied some of the world's greatest golf
1929
01:58:32.439 --> 01:58:35.460
players with clubs, and as a result, David and his
1930
01:58:35.520 --> 01:58:40.140
family lived a comfortable life. Unfortunately, in 1998, the company
1931
01:58:40.159 --> 01:58:42.699
went out of business, forcing David to move on to
1932
01:58:42.739 --> 01:58:46.500
another company. He quickly rose through the ranks at Zevo Golf,
1933
01:58:46.979 --> 01:58:49.930
but they too would follow the path of liquidation and bankruptcy.
1934
01:58:50.710 --> 01:58:52.869
To top it all off, David was in the midst
1935
01:58:52.909 --> 01:58:55.430
of a divorce from his wife, Terry, and the two
1936
01:58:55.489 --> 01:58:58.550
now had to decide the custody agreement of their four children.
1937
01:58:59.369 --> 01:59:03.270
Fast forward to 2006, David was now 56 years old
1938
01:59:03.609 --> 01:59:06.640
and he and Terry maintained a good relationship following their divorce.
1939
01:59:07.680 --> 01:59:11.300
David found employment with yet another golf club manufacturer and
1940
01:59:11.340 --> 01:59:14.039
things had seemed to calm down for him. That's not
1941
01:59:14.060 --> 01:59:16.239
to say that David wasn't under a lot of stress,
1942
01:59:16.760 --> 01:59:18.579
but the stresses of being in a company that was
1943
01:59:18.640 --> 01:59:22.899
liquidating were well behind him. Despite their divorce, David and
1944
01:59:22.939 --> 01:59:25.550
Terry were on good terms and the two would regularly
1945
01:59:25.590 --> 01:59:27.590
catch up with each other and take care of their
1946
01:59:27.630 --> 01:59:32.319
children together. In 2006, David was living in the 26,000
1947
01:59:32.319 --> 01:59:35.569
block of Town Center Drive, Lake Forest, California, in an
1948
01:59:35.630 --> 01:59:38.689
apartment he shared with his youngest son, Davis, who was
1949
01:59:38.689 --> 01:59:43.270
17 at the time. On December 5th, 2006, David was
1950
01:59:43.329 --> 01:59:45.750
last seen leaving his home between 2 or 3 p.m.,
1951
01:59:46.210 --> 01:59:47.850
and this will be the last time he was ever
1952
01:59:47.909 --> 01:59:50.939
seen or heard from again. When his father failed to
1953
01:59:50.979 --> 01:59:54.779
return home that evening, Davis, David's youngest son, called his
1954
01:59:54.819 --> 01:59:57.930
mother Terry and his brothers. The family huddled into the
1955
01:59:57.970 --> 02:00:00.850
apartment that the father and son shared and desperately tried
1956
02:00:00.899 --> 02:00:03.699
to call him and locate him. David had left behind
1957
02:00:03.739 --> 02:00:07.960
his credit card, ID, wallet, phone, car, and mountain bike.
1958
02:00:08.840 --> 02:00:10.779
His family believed that he had likely headed out to
1959
02:00:10.800 --> 02:00:13.300
the Whitting Ranch Wilderness Park for a hike to clear
1960
02:00:13.340 --> 02:00:16.489
his head. This was a spot that David knew and loved,
1961
02:00:16.770 --> 02:00:18.989
so his sons hopped onto their mountain bikes and began
1962
02:00:19.029 --> 02:00:21.770
riding through the trails looking for their father, but there
1963
02:00:21.810 --> 02:00:25.810
was no sign of him. On Wednesday, December 6th, David's
1964
02:00:25.829 --> 02:00:29.189
family contacted the Orange County Sheriff's Department and reported him missing.
1965
02:00:29.890 --> 02:00:32.189
The OC Sheriff's Department did not begin its search until
1966
02:00:32.229 --> 02:00:38.039
December 8, 2006. Orange County Sheriff's Department spokesman Jim Amormino
1967
02:00:38.180 --> 02:00:41.579
told the LA Times, We initially thought maybe he's under
1968
02:00:41.600 --> 02:00:44.439
stress and needed to get away. We get many calls
1969
02:00:44.520 --> 02:00:47.380
a day like that, quite honestly. But the more we
1970
02:00:47.420 --> 02:00:50.399
kept talking to his wife and the kids, we thought, wow,
1971
02:00:50.739 --> 02:00:53.930
he's had two days to come home. Usually in these situations,
1972
02:00:54.050 --> 02:00:57.090
it's one, two, three days, and they come back home
1973
02:00:57.149 --> 02:01:02.250
to make contact. On December 8th, 2006, it was clear
1974
02:01:02.270 --> 02:01:04.850
that David was in trouble. The Orange County Sheriff's Department
1975
02:01:04.949 --> 02:01:07.930
finally assembled a team to look for him. Over the
1976
02:01:07.989 --> 02:01:11.710
next coming days, David's sons, his friends and family, and
1977
02:01:11.750 --> 02:01:14.899
the OC Sheriff's Department combed the Whitting Ranch Wilderness Park
1978
02:01:14.949 --> 02:01:17.920
and surrounding areas, but no sign of David was ever found.
1979
02:01:18.619 --> 02:01:21.199
Officers were deployed on foot and in the air, but
1980
02:01:21.220 --> 02:01:24.079
these officers failed to locate him. The only trace of
1981
02:01:24.119 --> 02:01:26.850
David was found by bloodhounds who tracked his scent from
1982
02:01:26.890 --> 02:01:29.590
his home on Town Center Drive, four miles into the
1983
02:01:29.630 --> 02:01:33.949
Whitting Ranch Wilderness Park. Despite extensive efforts, no sign of
1984
02:01:34.010 --> 02:01:36.609
David has ever been found, and his family are desperate
1985
02:01:36.630 --> 02:01:39.960
to find out what happened to him. Terry Boone, David's
1986
02:01:40.000 --> 02:01:42.899
estranged wife, along with David's four sons, have been the
1987
02:01:42.939 --> 02:01:46.220
driving force behind his case. His family pushed the Orange
1988
02:01:46.260 --> 02:01:49.279
County Sheriff's Department to investigate and also went to great
1989
02:01:49.319 --> 02:01:51.930
lengths to get his case out there. Terry and the
1990
02:01:51.939 --> 02:01:54.970
kids would visit local businesses and place flyers around town,
1991
02:01:55.449 --> 02:01:59.130
hoping that someone knew something. Now, there are theories out
1992
02:01:59.170 --> 02:02:01.310
there that speculate that David was eaten by a mountain
1993
02:02:01.329 --> 02:02:04.489
lion or another big creature that stalks the park. While
1994
02:02:04.529 --> 02:02:06.890
other hikers have been attacked by animals in the Whitting
1995
02:02:06.930 --> 02:02:10.409
Ranch Wilderness Park, there's no evidence to suggest this is
1996
02:02:10.449 --> 02:02:14.329
what happened to David. Again, David's family are desperate for
1997
02:02:14.409 --> 02:02:17.890
answers and are appealing to anyone with information to come forward.
1998
02:02:18.770 --> 02:02:21.850
David Douglas Boone was last seen on December 5th, 2006
1999
02:02:21.850 --> 02:02:25.029
and was believed to have headed into the Whitting Ranch
2000
02:02:25.109 --> 02:02:28.569
Wilderness Park, an area he was extremely familiar with. He
2001
02:02:29.409 --> 02:02:31.710
is described as a white male with graying brown hair,
2002
02:02:31.949 --> 02:02:37.170
blue eyes, sounding approximately 6'3'' tall and weighing about 220 pounds.
2003
02:02:38.010 --> 02:02:40.050
David is missing a tooth in the middle right side
2004
02:02:40.069 --> 02:02:43.130
of his mouth. Anyone with any information is asked to
2005
02:02:43.170 --> 02:02:46.189
please contact the Orange County Sheriff's Department at 714-647-7000 and
2006
02:02:46.289 --> 02:02:51.210
reference case number 06-235-798. Alan Clarence Theus 52-year-old Alan Clarence
2007
02:02:51.250 --> 02:02:54.149
Theus was last seen on November 22, 2003 while vacationing
2008
02:02:54.180 --> 02:03:10.350
in Lewiston, Minnesota. Allen had traveled from Montana, and according
2009
02:03:10.369 --> 02:03:12.789
to reports, he'd planned on hiking and hunting in the
2010
02:03:12.850 --> 02:03:16.449
Upper Missouri River Breaks area. According to the few reports
2011
02:03:16.560 --> 02:03:19.449
out there about Allen's disappearance, he'd previously lived in the
2012
02:03:19.520 --> 02:03:21.880
Upper Missouri River Breaks area and had moved back to
2013
02:03:21.920 --> 02:03:25.140
Montana to pursue his hunting. He also worked for a
2014
02:03:25.159 --> 02:03:27.840
global positioning company, which enabled him to move throughout the
2015
02:03:27.859 --> 02:03:31.020
country while getting paid. Those who knew Allen described him
2016
02:03:31.079 --> 02:03:35.359
as hardworking and dependable, and shortly before leaving Montana for Minnesota,
2017
02:03:35.909 --> 02:03:37.710
Allen told his mother he would be back by the
2018
02:03:37.750 --> 02:03:43.149
end of November. Allen's absence was first noted on November 24, 2003,
2019
02:03:43.149 --> 02:03:45.390
when the motel that Allen had been staying in noticed
2020
02:03:45.430 --> 02:03:47.880
he had failed to check out of his room. Allen
2021
02:03:47.909 --> 02:03:51.279
never settled his bill, and after this, the motel staff
2022
02:03:51.399 --> 02:03:55.319
alerted the Fergus County Sheriff's Office on November 26, 2003.
2023
02:03:55.319 --> 02:03:59.020
The Fergus County Sheriff's Office entered the room that Allen
2024
02:03:59.060 --> 02:04:00.739
had been staying in to find that most of his
2025
02:04:00.819 --> 02:04:03.600
clothes and personal items were still in the room. When
2026
02:04:03.649 --> 02:04:06.029
he left, Allen had taken only his hunting clothes and
2027
02:04:06.069 --> 02:04:09.890
his rifle. Law enforcement opened their investigation and began their
2028
02:04:09.930 --> 02:04:13.270
search for Allen right away. The sheriff's office along with
2029
02:04:13.289 --> 02:04:16.229
search and rescue personnel scoured the area for Allen and
2030
02:04:16.250 --> 02:04:20.000
within hours they found the first clue. A crew flying
2031
02:04:20.060 --> 02:04:22.819
over the area found Allen's abandoned truck near the Stafford
2032
02:04:22.880 --> 02:04:26.220
Ferry on the Missouri River. Inside the truck were a
2033
02:04:26.220 --> 02:04:29.100
pair of boots and an empty rifle case. There was
2034
02:04:29.140 --> 02:04:31.680
no sign of Allen in or around the truck and
2035
02:04:31.720 --> 02:04:34.609
to this day, This remains the only piece of evidence
2036
02:04:34.670 --> 02:04:39.109
found in his case. By December 7th, 2003, the search
2037
02:04:39.149 --> 02:04:42.449
had been temporarily halted due to poor weather conditions. The
2038
02:04:42.489 --> 02:04:45.949
Billings Gazette reported there was, quote, heavy snow and gumbo
2039
02:04:46.020 --> 02:04:48.859
mud that made the area too treacherous to continue the search,
2040
02:04:49.420 --> 02:04:54.239
end quote. Despite extensive searches, Alan Theus has never been located,
2041
02:04:54.779 --> 02:04:58.619
and in 2011, his family had him declared deceased in absentia.
2042
02:04:59.539 --> 02:05:01.960
Alan Clarence Theus is described as a white male with
2043
02:05:02.000 --> 02:05:06.199
gray hair Hazel Eyes, standing 5'10 inches tall and weighing
2044
02:05:06.199 --> 02:05:09.680
160 pounds. Anyone with any information is asked to please
2045
02:05:09.720 --> 02:05:19.210
contact the Fergus County Sheriff's Office at 406-535-3415. Next, Timmy
2046
02:05:19.390 --> 02:05:23.989
Gene Thompson. 36-year-old Timmy Gene Thompson left his home on
2047
02:05:24.029 --> 02:05:28.159
the 5000 block of Hess Road off Highway 138 in Phelan,
2048
02:05:28.220 --> 02:05:33.039
California for the last time on August 3, 2002. Reports
2049
02:05:33.100 --> 02:05:35.340
indicate that Timmy was heading out on a hiking trip
2050
02:05:35.699 --> 02:05:38.100
with the Charlie Project, noting that he was likely headed
2051
02:05:38.140 --> 02:05:41.020
to the Salton Sea area on the Colorado Aqueduct to
2052
02:05:41.039 --> 02:05:44.140
the Colorado River. The hiking trip was only supposed to
2053
02:05:44.180 --> 02:05:46.899
be for three days, but when Timmy, known to his
2054
02:05:46.939 --> 02:05:49.340
friends as Tim, failed to turn up for work or
2055
02:05:49.380 --> 02:05:52.520
make contact with his family, they knew something had gone wrong.
2056
02:05:53.340 --> 02:05:56.060
Tim had a houseboat in the Park Moabi area that
2057
02:05:56.100 --> 02:05:58.359
he frequently liked to visit and appears that he had
2058
02:05:58.390 --> 02:06:02.779
planned to hike through Salton Sea before reaching his houseboat. Unfortunately,
2059
02:06:03.229 --> 02:06:05.789
Tim never made it to his destination nor back home,
2060
02:06:06.229 --> 02:06:08.710
and his friends and family knew something had gone wrong.
2061
02:06:09.569 --> 02:06:11.710
Tim was a dependable person, and the fact that he'd
2062
02:06:11.750 --> 02:06:14.710
just dropped off the map sent alarm bells ringing for
2063
02:06:14.750 --> 02:06:17.770
his friends and family. Tim was reported missing when he
2064
02:06:17.810 --> 02:06:20.909
failed to return home, and it wouldn't be until September 23, 2002,
2065
02:06:20.899 --> 02:06:25.199
that investigators with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office would
2066
02:06:25.239 --> 02:06:28.750
stumble upon their first clue. On that day, searchers found
2067
02:06:28.810 --> 02:06:33.270
Tim's light golden brown 1986 Buick Skylark abandoned on a
2068
02:06:33.329 --> 02:06:37.649
road four miles away from Highway 177 on Phelan Pass Road.
2069
02:06:38.630 --> 02:06:42.189
According to NamUs, investigators found a campsite three miles east
2070
02:06:42.229 --> 02:06:44.430
of the car and at the campsite was a full
2071
02:06:44.470 --> 02:06:48.079
beer can, a packet of unopened cigarettes, and Tim's knife.
2072
02:06:48.720 --> 02:06:51.579
In the days before his disappearance, Tim had quit his job,
2073
02:06:51.739 --> 02:06:55.079
but he seemed happy within himself. His mother, whom he
2074
02:06:55.140 --> 02:06:57.500
lived with, reported that her son was in good spirits
2075
02:06:57.819 --> 02:07:00.100
and showed no signs of wanting to take his own life.
2076
02:07:01.149 --> 02:07:03.609
The days leading up to his disappearance were mundane and
2077
02:07:03.630 --> 02:07:07.430
there were no signs of what was to come. Since 2002,
2078
02:07:07.430 --> 02:07:10.729
Tim's case has run cold and investigators are desperate to
2079
02:07:10.789 --> 02:07:15.569
solve it. Timmy Tim Gene Thompson was last seen on
2080
02:07:15.649 --> 02:07:20.369
August 3, 2002, near his home in Phelan, California. He
2081
02:07:20.390 --> 02:07:23.100
is described as a white male with brown hair, might
2082
02:07:23.140 --> 02:07:26.560
have a beard, has brown eyes, stands 5 foot 9
2083
02:07:26.560 --> 02:07:30.119
inches tall, and weighs about 180 pounds. Tibb has a
2084
02:07:30.140 --> 02:07:32.399
tattoo of a California brown bear on the back of
2085
02:07:32.439 --> 02:07:35.680
his left shoulder. He was possibly last seen wearing a
2086
02:07:35.699 --> 02:07:39.840
brown button-down shirt, Levi blue jeans, and brown lace-up work boots.
2087
02:07:40.819 --> 02:07:44.079
Anyone with any information is asked to please contact Detective
2088
02:07:44.119 --> 02:07:48.079
Joe Janowitz or Detective Michelle Brand of the San Bernardino
2089
02:07:48.100 --> 02:07:55.579
County Sheriff's Department at 760-552-6833. and reference case number 0702-0347.
2090
02:07:50.149 --> 02:08:07.399
Now we have Tyler Joel Christensen. 16-year-old Tyler Joel Christensen
2091
02:08:07.439 --> 02:08:10.020
was a bright and sprightly teenager who was dedicated to
2092
02:08:10.039 --> 02:08:13.369
his faith and his education. Tyler lived with his parents
2093
02:08:13.409 --> 02:08:16.930
and four sisters in Snohomish County, Washington, and by all accounts,
2094
02:08:17.029 --> 02:08:20.260
he was a regular teenage boy. When not working hard
2095
02:08:20.300 --> 02:08:23.260
toward his grades, Tyler would often attend youth meetings at
2096
02:08:23.279 --> 02:08:27.560
his local church or simply relax with friends. However, the
2097
02:08:27.600 --> 02:08:30.250
lives of the Christensen family would be turned upside down
2098
02:08:30.369 --> 02:08:34.430
one tragic day in April of 2016. Tyler was seen
2099
02:08:34.449 --> 02:08:37.869
for the last time on April 19, 2016, in the
2100
02:08:37.869 --> 02:08:42.319
5300 block of Picnic Point Road in Edmonds, Washington. It
2101
02:08:42.359 --> 02:08:45.060
was around 6.30 p.m., and his parents reported that he
2102
02:08:45.079 --> 02:08:46.880
had told them he was going for a jog before
2103
02:08:46.939 --> 02:08:49.300
heading on to the youth meeting at the church, but
2104
02:08:49.340 --> 02:08:52.609
Tyler never arrived. When the meeting drew to a close
2105
02:08:52.829 --> 02:08:56.010
and the church's youth returned to their respective homes, Tyler's
2106
02:08:56.050 --> 02:08:59.069
parents began to worry. He was a dependable young man
2107
02:08:59.109 --> 02:09:00.789
who would let them know if he'd plan to be
2108
02:09:00.909 --> 02:09:04.180
out late. Hours had passed since the Christensen's had last
2109
02:09:04.220 --> 02:09:07.199
seen their son, and panic began to set in. So
2110
02:09:07.239 --> 02:09:09.899
they picked up the phone and contacted the Snohomish County
2111
02:09:09.939 --> 02:09:13.420
Sheriff's Office. Officers were sent to the Christensen home in
2112
02:09:13.500 --> 02:09:19.060
Mukilteo and an investigation was opened immediately. However, officers initially
2113
02:09:19.100 --> 02:09:21.909
declared that Tyler was a runaway, not a missing person,
2114
02:09:22.250 --> 02:09:25.449
and stuck by their initial thoughts on the case. Officers
2115
02:09:25.470 --> 02:09:27.729
were insistent that Tyler had left of his own accord
2116
02:09:28.010 --> 02:09:30.529
and a witness sighting days later would only affirm this
2117
02:09:30.569 --> 02:09:34.449
in their minds. When Tyler's disappearance was publicized, thanks to
2118
02:09:34.489 --> 02:09:36.899
the efforts of his family, a witness came forward and
2119
02:09:36.939 --> 02:09:39.260
told investigators that he had picked up a young man
2120
02:09:39.300 --> 02:09:42.789
who bore a strong resemblance to Tyler. This witness claimed
2121
02:09:42.810 --> 02:09:45.670
that Tyler had been hitchhiking and was heading towards Shelton
2122
02:09:45.810 --> 02:09:49.729
and the Olympic National Park area. Investigators also believed that
2123
02:09:49.760 --> 02:09:52.180
Tyler had taken a ferry from Kingston in order to
2124
02:09:52.239 --> 02:09:55.979
reach the park. According to this witness, Tyler was happy
2125
02:09:56.020 --> 02:09:58.619
and upbeat and seemed excited about going hiking in the
2126
02:09:58.659 --> 02:10:02.439
Olympic National Park. Investigators had never been able to conclusively
2127
02:10:02.520 --> 02:10:05.079
prove that the person seen hitchhiking that day was in
2128
02:10:05.159 --> 02:10:10.289
fact Tyler, however. In May 2016, the backpack he was
2129
02:10:10.329 --> 02:10:12.689
carrying the day he disappeared was found near the high
2130
02:10:12.729 --> 02:10:17.939
steel bridge near Shelton, Washington. Still inside were emergency blankets, clothing,
2131
02:10:17.979 --> 02:10:21.899
and food. Since this lead, Tyler's case has gone cold
2132
02:10:22.439 --> 02:10:24.279
and now the family are fighting to keep his name
2133
02:10:24.319 --> 02:10:27.659
in the media. His family have a Facebook page dedicated
2134
02:10:27.680 --> 02:10:29.960
to his case and have put up flyers and posters
2135
02:10:30.020 --> 02:10:33.699
all around town. Investigators believe that Tyler had made plans
2136
02:10:33.739 --> 02:10:36.300
to run away and likely became injured while out in
2137
02:10:36.340 --> 02:10:40.119
the wilderness. But, according to Tyler's family, there were no
2138
02:10:40.199 --> 02:10:42.300
issues in the home and Tyler was as bright and
2139
02:10:42.319 --> 02:10:45.550
happy as ever. His family is now desperate for answers
2140
02:10:46.069 --> 02:10:49.989
and is asking anyone with information to come forward. Tyler
2141
02:10:50.069 --> 02:10:52.789
Joel Christensen is described as a white male with light
2142
02:10:52.829 --> 02:10:57.960
brown hair, blue eyes, standing 5'11 and weighing 145 pounds.
2143
02:10:58.739 --> 02:11:01.140
He has a half-inch scar on his left ankle and
2144
02:11:01.180 --> 02:11:03.439
was last seen wearing a light blue shirt and dark
2145
02:11:03.479 --> 02:11:07.130
blue shorts. Anyone with any information is asked to contact
2146
02:11:07.170 --> 02:11:14.329
Detective Rich Emmons of the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office at 425-388-3839.
2147
02:11:18.279 --> 02:11:23.479
Wallace Wilkinson Dunn 81-year-old Wallace Wilkinson Dunn was last seen
2148
02:11:23.539 --> 02:11:28.119
on July 12, 2013 at around 11 a.m. in Anchorage, Alaska.
2149
02:11:28.979 --> 02:11:31.699
Wallace had dedicated his life to his patients in Anchorage
2150
02:11:32.090 --> 02:11:35.180
and had worked as a doctor for four decades. He
2151
02:11:35.239 --> 02:11:38.340
quickly became a well-known and well-liked figure within the community,
2152
02:11:38.859 --> 02:11:41.420
and when it was time for his retirement, everyone was
2153
02:11:41.479 --> 02:11:44.880
pleased that Wallace could now get a well-deserved break. On
2154
02:11:44.920 --> 02:11:48.970
July 11, 2013, Wallace attended a football game in Waldron
2155
02:11:49.010 --> 02:11:52.670
Lake with family members. As the family members parted ways,
2156
02:11:53.029 --> 02:11:55.289
they had no idea that it was the last time
2157
02:11:55.609 --> 02:11:59.569
they would ever see Wallace. The next confirmed eyewitness sighting
2158
02:11:59.590 --> 02:12:01.680
of Wallace was made the next day on July 12, 2013,
2159
02:12:01.670 --> 02:12:08.250
in Anchorage. Wallace was reported missing on July 16, 2013,
2160
02:12:08.250 --> 02:12:11.289
when he failed to make contact with his family. In
2161
02:12:11.310 --> 02:12:13.930
the days before his disappearance, he told his family that
2162
02:12:13.970 --> 02:12:16.250
he wanted to make the most of the sunshine and
2163
02:12:16.289 --> 02:12:19.489
was going to his cabin in Big Lake. The Anchorage
2164
02:12:19.529 --> 02:12:22.810
PD received the missing person report and began searching for
2165
02:12:22.869 --> 02:12:27.510
Wallace immediately. In the days following his disappearance, Wallace's gray
2166
02:12:27.569 --> 02:12:30.840
Ford F-150 truck was found abandoned at the end of
2167
02:12:30.909 --> 02:12:35.550
West Suscentna Parkway. Inside was his shotgun, a container of
2168
02:12:35.729 --> 02:12:40.149
now-spoiled food, a chainsaw, and a generator. There was no
2169
02:12:40.210 --> 02:12:45.630
sign of Wallace, and the search radius expanded. According to Frontiersman.com, quote,
2170
02:12:46.109 --> 02:12:50.619
multiple agencies, including Mat-Su Search and Rescue, Search Dogs, and
2171
02:12:50.640 --> 02:12:53.720
the Hello2 team joined in the search for Wallace, end quote.
2172
02:12:54.640 --> 02:12:58.260
Despite these extensive searches, no sign of Wallace was ever found.
2173
02:12:59.060 --> 02:13:02.260
Wallace's disappearance hit the local news, and then days after
2174
02:13:02.279 --> 02:13:05.359
his disappearance, a bizarre tip came in to the Alaska
2175
02:13:05.399 --> 02:13:09.300
State Troopers. Witnesses had reported seeing a man fitting Wallace's
2176
02:13:09.340 --> 02:13:13.029
description at the Montana Creek Campground in Alaska on July 13.
2177
02:13:13.029 --> 02:13:16.510
This man told the witnesses that he planned to either
2178
02:13:16.569 --> 02:13:20.829
walk or hitchhike to the Denali National Park. Now, investigators
2179
02:13:20.869 --> 02:13:23.430
have been unable to verify these sightings and are appealing
2180
02:13:23.470 --> 02:13:27.239
to anyone with any information to please come forward. Since 2013,
2181
02:13:27.229 --> 02:13:31.359
there have been very few updates on Wallace's case and
2182
02:13:31.399 --> 02:13:34.119
his family told investigators and the media that it is
2183
02:13:34.189 --> 02:13:37.369
extremely out of character for Wallace to leave without notice.
2184
02:13:38.350 --> 02:13:41.670
Wallace Wilkinson Dunn was last seen on July 12, 2013,
2185
02:13:41.670 --> 02:13:45.550
in Anchorage, Alaska. He is described as a white male
2186
02:13:46.029 --> 02:13:50.310
with white hair, blue eyes, standing about 5'7'' tall and
2187
02:13:50.350 --> 02:13:54.939
weighing around 160 pounds. Wallace has large, distinctive freckles on
2188
02:13:54.979 --> 02:13:58.220
his face and walks with a shuffling gait in slow steps.
2189
02:13:59.359 --> 02:14:02.770
Walsh was also showing early signs of Alzheimer's disease, which
2190
02:14:02.829 --> 02:14:07.069
affected his memory and physical abilities. Anyone with any information
2191
02:14:07.130 --> 02:14:10.189
is asked to contact Melia Miller of the Alaska State
2192
02:14:10.210 --> 02:14:13.569
Troopers at 907-269-5511 and reference case number AK-130-51623. And now,
2193
02:14:14.060 --> 02:14:30.149
James Taylor Wall. 33-year-old James Taylor Wall was last seen
2194
02:14:30.210 --> 02:14:35.350
on January 25, 2015. There are extremely few details available
2195
02:14:35.399 --> 02:14:39.060
in James' case, and even the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency
2196
02:14:39.140 --> 02:14:43.460
Community Information Center website is lacking any background detail about him.
2197
02:14:44.340 --> 02:14:47.000
According to the few reports that are out there, James'
2198
02:14:47.060 --> 02:14:49.220
mother was informed that he might have been involved in
2199
02:14:49.260 --> 02:14:52.319
a serious altercation at the time of his disappearance, but
2200
02:14:52.399 --> 02:14:56.369
exactly what happened and with who remain a mystery. He
2201
02:14:56.390 --> 02:14:58.829
was last seen at his home on County Road 2
2202
02:14:58.829 --> 02:15:03.159
in Double Springs, Alabama on January 25th. He walked out
2203
02:15:03.180 --> 02:15:05.699
of his home, said goodbye to his loved ones and
2204
02:15:05.739 --> 02:15:10.159
simply never returned. This case has continued to baffle investigators
2205
02:15:10.279 --> 02:15:13.319
and loved ones alike and nothing makes sense at all.
2206
02:15:14.079 --> 02:15:16.340
It appears that James left his home in Double Springs
2207
02:15:16.420 --> 02:15:19.479
and was headed for the Bankhead National Forest. This is
2208
02:15:19.520 --> 02:15:23.050
where the information stops and the leads dry up. James
2209
02:15:23.069 --> 02:15:25.899
Taylor Wall is still missing and is considered to be
2210
02:15:26.000 --> 02:15:29.159
an endangered missing person. He is described as a white
2211
02:15:29.199 --> 02:15:32.539
male with sandy blonde hair, blue eyes, standing five foot
2212
02:15:32.579 --> 02:15:37.470
tall and 150 pounds. James has the following tattoos, a
2213
02:15:37.510 --> 02:15:40.430
sleeve from wrist to elbow on his right arm, a
2214
02:15:40.449 --> 02:15:43.569
tribal symbol on his right upper arm, a dragon on
2215
02:15:43.609 --> 02:15:46.170
his back, and the name Haley on the left side
2216
02:15:46.210 --> 02:15:49.130
of his chest. He was last seen wearing a yellow
2217
02:15:49.250 --> 02:15:53.430
John Deere t-shirt and camo shorts. Anyone with information is
2218
02:15:53.489 --> 02:15:56.649
asked to please contact Billy Holland of the Winston County
2219
02:15:56.689 --> 02:16:12.300
Sheriff's Office at 205-489-8765 and reference case number 201-501-000325. Next up,
2220
02:16:12.840 --> 02:16:18.140
Michael Hugh Camiletti. 56-year-old Michael Hugh Camiletti was a retired
2221
02:16:18.220 --> 02:16:20.319
Army colonel who loved nothing more than being in the
2222
02:16:20.359 --> 02:16:23.979
great outdoors. Michael's family knew that if he was unreachable,
2223
02:16:24.270 --> 02:16:26.539
he was likely out hiking or caving and that he
2224
02:16:26.560 --> 02:16:30.159
would be back home safely soon. Michael was last seen
2225
02:16:30.239 --> 02:16:35.459
on May 22, 2014. Although the Charlie Project reports 2011,
2226
02:16:35.459 --> 02:16:39.600
that appears to be a clerical error. Michael was last
2227
02:16:39.620 --> 02:16:44.190
seen on May 22, 2014 at his home in Standardsville, Virginia.
2228
02:16:44.770 --> 02:16:46.610
His family knew that if they couldn't reach him, he
2229
02:16:46.629 --> 02:16:50.030
was likely out hiking. but as June 2014 came around,
2230
02:16:50.329 --> 02:16:53.649
his family began to get an uneasy feeling. Michael was
2231
02:16:53.709 --> 02:16:56.889
prone to leaving for trips without notice, but now almost
2232
02:16:56.930 --> 02:17:00.450
a month had passed without any contact. His brother reported
2233
02:17:00.510 --> 02:17:04.030
missing on June 12, 2014, and the Greene County Sheriff's
2234
02:17:04.090 --> 02:17:08.049
Office began their search shortly after. Investigators have stated that
2235
02:17:08.069 --> 02:17:10.750
they believe Michael went to the Cranberry Wilderness in the
2236
02:17:10.790 --> 02:17:16.799
Monongahela National Forest in West Virginia. On June 27, 2014,
2237
02:17:16.799 --> 02:17:19.920
State troopers came across Michael's car, and after running the
2238
02:17:19.979 --> 02:17:23.239
license plates, they discovered it belonged to this missing man.
2239
02:17:24.040 --> 02:17:26.750
When they searched the car, they found a handwritten note
2240
02:17:26.809 --> 02:17:32.909
from Michael, stating that between May 23, 2014 and May 27, 2014,
2241
02:17:32.909 --> 02:17:36.190
he planned to hike the North-South Trail. The state troopers,
2242
02:17:36.309 --> 02:17:38.870
along with the Greene County Sheriff's Office and other various
2243
02:17:38.889 --> 02:17:41.670
search and rescue teams, began to search for Michael in
2244
02:17:41.690 --> 02:17:47.739
the Cranberry Wilderness, which spans 47,815 acres. However, the search
2245
02:17:47.770 --> 02:17:50.850
for Michael proved fruitless and after searching high and low
2246
02:17:50.909 --> 02:17:54.450
for him, the search was eventually called off. To this day,
2247
02:17:54.729 --> 02:17:57.069
no sign of Michael has ever been found, and his
2248
02:17:57.129 --> 02:18:01.030
family are desperate to find out the truth. Michael Hugh
2249
02:18:01.090 --> 02:18:04.180
Cameletti is described as a white male with brown hair,
2250
02:18:04.680 --> 02:18:08.079
blue eyes, standing 5 foot 5 inches tall, and weighing
2251
02:18:08.079 --> 02:18:12.010
165 pounds. He has a distinctive scar on his chin.
2252
02:18:12.809 --> 02:18:15.370
Anyone with information is asked to please contact the Greene
2253
02:18:15.409 --> 02:18:17.840
County Sheriff's Office at 434-985-2222 and reference case number 2011-016317.
2254
02:18:18.209 --> 02:18:22.170
And now we have Rosemary Teresa Kunst. In 1999, 69-year-old
2255
02:18:22.209 --> 02:18:38.290
Rosemary Kunst and her husband, Bud, were involved in a
2256
02:18:38.329 --> 02:18:43.049
serious car accident which took Bud's life. Rosemary miraculously survived,
2257
02:18:43.329 --> 02:18:46.350
but was left with serious injuries. In the midst of
2258
02:18:46.409 --> 02:18:48.690
losing her beloved husband and dealing with the recovery from
2259
02:18:48.709 --> 02:18:52.610
her injuries, Rosemary decided she wanted to try a different approach.
2260
02:18:53.569 --> 02:18:56.639
She loved being outdoors and enjoyed hiking and being one
2261
02:18:56.680 --> 02:18:59.799
with nature, so she decided to join the Earth Circle
2262
02:18:59.819 --> 02:19:03.319
Association in the Marble Mountains Wilderness in the Klamath National
2263
02:19:03.379 --> 02:19:06.700
Forest in California. The group was led by a Native
2264
02:19:06.739 --> 02:19:10.920
American elder, Charlie Redhawk, and Rosemary hoped that the backpacking
2265
02:19:10.959 --> 02:19:13.940
trip and spiritual retreat would help soothe their aching heart
2266
02:19:14.000 --> 02:19:18.819
and body. On August 17, 2000, Charlie, the Earth Circle
2267
02:19:18.840 --> 02:19:22.930
Association leader, along with Rosemary, now 70, and 19 other
2268
02:19:22.950 --> 02:19:25.969
people headed into the Klamath National Forest, bound for an
2269
02:19:26.010 --> 02:19:29.829
area called Woolly Creek. According to reports, this area is
2270
02:19:29.870 --> 02:19:33.280
considered to contain some of California's harshest terrain and it's
2271
02:19:33.360 --> 02:19:36.059
not a forgiving trail to Spirit Lake where the group
2272
02:19:36.079 --> 02:19:40.340
held their ceremonies and meetings. Despite her injuries, Rosemary carried
2273
02:19:40.440 --> 02:19:43.229
on with the group and within hours they completed the
2274
02:19:43.250 --> 02:19:46.549
12-mile hike to Spirit Lake. The group set up their
2275
02:19:46.590 --> 02:19:48.790
tents and cooking equipment and spent the rest of the
2276
02:19:48.829 --> 02:19:53.309
day engaging in spiritual activities led by Charlie. The next morning,
2277
02:19:53.670 --> 02:19:55.590
Charlie informed the group that he was headed off on
2278
02:19:55.610 --> 02:19:57.850
a day hike and the members grabbed their bags and
2279
02:19:57.889 --> 02:20:01.600
headed out with him. However, Rosemary decided that she wanted
2280
02:20:01.639 --> 02:20:05.139
to stay behind and just hours later, she would mysteriously
2281
02:20:05.200 --> 02:20:08.989
disappear from Spirit Lake. Soon after Charlie and the group
2282
02:20:09.010 --> 02:20:12.329
had left for a day hike, Rosemary told Charlie's son
2283
02:20:12.670 --> 02:20:14.969
that she wanted to go on a smaller hike to
2284
02:20:15.010 --> 02:20:17.209
the other side of Spirit Lake, but he didn't want
2285
02:20:17.250 --> 02:20:20.729
to join her, so she went alone. Rosemary walked away
2286
02:20:20.770 --> 02:20:23.610
from the campground carrying nothing more than a sandwich, some
2287
02:20:23.629 --> 02:20:27.489
trail mix, and her journal. Unfortunately, this was the last
2288
02:20:27.530 --> 02:20:30.030
time that Rosemary would ever be seen or heard from again.
2289
02:20:31.000 --> 02:20:33.079
The trail which Rosemary would have taken was on a
2290
02:20:33.120 --> 02:20:36.540
hillside with a 70 degree angle and very difficult terrain.
2291
02:20:37.239 --> 02:20:40.159
When Rosemary failed to return hours later, the group began
2292
02:20:40.180 --> 02:20:43.420
their own search for her. When this search was unsuccessful,
2293
02:20:43.870 --> 02:20:48.209
they contacted the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Department and reported Rosemary missing.
2294
02:20:48.889 --> 02:20:52.329
The Siskiyou County Sheriff's Department was assisted by the National
2295
02:20:52.370 --> 02:20:55.030
Guard and search and rescue crews, but they failed to
2296
02:20:55.079 --> 02:20:58.219
find any sign of her. A helicopter with a thermal
2297
02:20:58.280 --> 02:21:02.280
imaging camera Scent dogs and officers on horseback were also deployed,
2298
02:21:02.559 --> 02:21:06.139
but they too failed to find Rosemary. The only clue
2299
02:21:06.159 --> 02:21:08.120
that she left behind was a tuft of her hair,
2300
02:21:08.520 --> 02:21:10.940
which was found in some heavy brush just south of
2301
02:21:10.979 --> 02:21:13.879
Spirit Lake. It does not appear that these strands were
2302
02:21:13.899 --> 02:21:17.969
DNA tested, and since then, Rosemary's case has gone cold.
2303
02:21:18.860 --> 02:21:22.430
Rosemary's children and remaining family are desperate for answers and
2304
02:21:22.469 --> 02:21:26.489
believe that the answers lie somewhere around Spirit Lake. Rosemary
2305
02:21:26.549 --> 02:21:29.450
Constance is described as a white female with gray hair,
2306
02:21:29.889 --> 02:21:33.290
hazel eyes. She stands 5'3 and weighs 122 pounds. She
2307
02:21:34.889 --> 02:21:37.670
has numerous surgical scars and was last seen wearing a
2308
02:21:37.690 --> 02:21:41.030
blue fleece shirt, hiking boots, and a blue baseball cap.
2309
02:21:41.879 --> 02:21:44.600
Anyone with any information is urged to please contact the
2310
02:21:44.620 --> 02:21:59.010
Siskiyou County Sheriff's Department at 530-842-8300 and reference case number 010012. Next,
2311
02:21:59.670 --> 02:22:04.510
Douglas John Legg. In July of 1971, the Legg family
2312
02:22:04.549 --> 02:22:08.829
took a trip to the 12,500-acre Santanoni Estate near the
2313
02:22:08.909 --> 02:22:13.129
Adirondack Mountains in New York. This beautiful, sprawling estate was
2314
02:22:13.209 --> 02:22:15.639
owned by a relative of the Legg family, and the
2315
02:22:15.670 --> 02:22:20.379
family enjoyed many summer vacations at this estate. For eight-year-old Douglas,
2316
02:22:20.540 --> 02:22:23.219
the estate was the perfect place to run around and explore.
2317
02:22:24.020 --> 02:22:27.559
The family enjoyed hiking and being outdoors, and by age eight,
2318
02:22:27.899 --> 02:22:30.870
Douglas had already familiarized himself with the landscape of the
2319
02:22:30.930 --> 02:22:35.290
estate and knew how to keep himself safe outdoors. Unfortunately,
2320
02:22:35.649 --> 02:22:38.209
the trip in July of 71 would be their final
2321
02:22:38.250 --> 02:22:40.709
trip to the Santanoni estate as it was due to
2322
02:22:40.729 --> 02:22:44.069
be sold in the coming months. This somber affair would
2323
02:22:44.129 --> 02:22:48.010
end in further tragedy with the mysterious disappearance of little Douglas.
2324
02:22:48.850 --> 02:22:52.559
On July 10th, 1971, Douglas and his uncle went on
2325
02:22:52.579 --> 02:22:56.569
a final day hike into the Adirondack wilderness. Douglas ran
2326
02:22:56.629 --> 02:22:59.409
and skipped down the trails, bursting with excitement and energy.
2327
02:22:59.989 --> 02:23:03.069
At around 3.30 p.m., Douglas' uncle told him to go
2328
02:23:03.110 --> 02:23:06.469
back to camp and change. His uncle had instructed him
2329
02:23:06.510 --> 02:23:08.940
to do this as Douglas was wearing shorts and the
2330
02:23:08.979 --> 02:23:11.260
next part of the trail was covered with poison ivy.
2331
02:23:12.139 --> 02:23:15.180
Douglas had walked this trail a thousand times before and
2332
02:23:15.219 --> 02:23:16.659
his uncle knew that he could make it to the
2333
02:23:16.700 --> 02:23:20.489
camp by himself. After several minutes passed and Douglas had
2334
02:23:20.530 --> 02:23:24.200
not yet returned, his uncle waited for him patiently, but
2335
02:23:24.219 --> 02:23:26.200
when even more time elapsed and there was still no
2336
02:23:26.260 --> 02:23:29.040
sign of Douglas, his uncle ran back to the camp.
2337
02:23:30.079 --> 02:23:32.739
His uncle was horrified to discover that Douglas was not
2338
02:23:32.819 --> 02:23:35.899
at the camp. Some of the other leg children reported
2339
02:23:35.959 --> 02:23:38.319
seeing him near the main building and on a ridge.
2340
02:23:39.409 --> 02:23:41.770
The family at the camp called out Douglas' name, but
2341
02:23:41.790 --> 02:23:44.790
there was no response. Panic now filled the air as
2342
02:23:44.829 --> 02:23:47.209
the Legs and the rest of their extended family began
2343
02:23:47.270 --> 02:23:50.989
combing through the woodlands around them looking for Douglas. After
2344
02:23:51.030 --> 02:23:54.549
searching for some time and finding nothing, his parents contacted
2345
02:23:54.590 --> 02:23:57.930
the New York State Police and officially reported their son missing.
2346
02:23:58.770 --> 02:24:01.690
As the hours passed, the temperatures plummeted and the Legs
2347
02:24:01.750 --> 02:24:05.450
became incredibly concerned for their son. He knew how to
2348
02:24:05.530 --> 02:24:08.409
navigate the land around the estate and take care of himself,
2349
02:24:08.709 --> 02:24:11.090
but he would be no match for the freezing temperatures
2350
02:24:11.430 --> 02:24:15.280
without the proper clothing. Over the next six weeks, the
2351
02:24:15.319 --> 02:24:17.500
Legg family paid for search and rescue teams to go
2352
02:24:17.540 --> 02:24:21.049
over the area with a fine-tooth comb. Douglas' family were
2353
02:24:21.090 --> 02:24:23.149
also wealthy and had the means to pay for a
2354
02:24:23.190 --> 02:24:26.829
huge investigation. The New York State Police also threw all
2355
02:24:26.870 --> 02:24:31.090
available resources at the case. Despite this, no sign of
2356
02:24:31.129 --> 02:24:34.549
little Douglas Legg has ever been found. The search for
2357
02:24:34.590 --> 02:24:36.770
Douglas was one of the biggest in New York's history
2358
02:24:37.090 --> 02:24:40.639
and to this day, his case remains cold. Many people
2359
02:24:40.700 --> 02:24:43.930
believe that Douglas met with foul play although investigators say
2360
02:24:43.979 --> 02:24:46.879
that he likely became lost and perished due to the elements.
2361
02:24:47.639 --> 02:24:50.260
His surviving family are desperate to find out what happened
2362
02:24:50.280 --> 02:24:54.000
to their sweet, smiling little boy. Douglas Legg was last
2363
02:24:54.040 --> 02:24:58.219
seen on July 10, 1971. At the time of his disappearance,
2364
02:24:58.659 --> 02:25:01.590
he was described as a white male child with blonde hair,
2365
02:25:01.969 --> 02:25:05.309
blue eyes, standing 4 foot 6 inches tall, and weighing
2366
02:25:05.309 --> 02:25:09.190
76 pounds. Douglas had a slight speech impediment and was
2367
02:25:09.250 --> 02:25:12.510
last seen wearing a white short-sleeved polo shirt with navy
2368
02:25:12.530 --> 02:25:15.870
blue stripes on the collar, navy blue shorts, and black
2369
02:25:15.909 --> 02:25:20.030
hiking shoes with a circular sole pattern. Anyone with information
2370
02:25:20.090 --> 02:25:22.479
is asked to please contact Paul Hill of the New
2371
02:25:22.510 --> 02:25:25.379
York State Police at 518-897-2000 and reference case number BWES 016501.
2372
02:25:25.360 --> 02:25:43.319
And finally, Arvin Walter Nelson. 51-year-old Arvin Walter Nelson was
2373
02:25:43.360 --> 02:25:47.379
last seen on August 6, 2014, at China Camp in
2374
02:25:47.399 --> 02:25:51.200
the Los Padres National Forest. On August 6, Arvin was
2375
02:25:51.219 --> 02:25:52.979
dropped off at the camp as he planned to hike
2376
02:25:53.000 --> 02:25:57.180
through the forest and reach Big Sur Station by August 14.
2377
02:25:57.180 --> 02:25:59.489
Arvin was known to be an experienced and skilled hiker,
2378
02:25:59.850 --> 02:26:02.610
so the 23-mile hike to the Big Sur area was
2379
02:26:02.649 --> 02:26:05.870
surely going to be an easy one. According to some reports,
2380
02:26:06.350 --> 02:26:08.569
Arvin had even made an agreement with his friends to
2381
02:26:08.629 --> 02:26:11.950
ensure his safety. They agreed that if Arvin didn't contact
2382
02:26:11.969 --> 02:26:14.809
them by August 14th at Big Sur, they would report
2383
02:26:14.829 --> 02:26:19.209
him missing. Disturbingly, and somewhat prophetically, this plan would have
2384
02:26:19.229 --> 02:26:22.530
to be enacted on August 14th when Arvin never showed up.
2385
02:26:23.469 --> 02:26:25.430
His friends never believed that they would have to use
2386
02:26:25.489 --> 02:26:27.950
this plan, but as Arvin had not been seen or
2387
02:26:27.969 --> 02:26:30.629
heard from since August 6th, they knew what they had
2388
02:26:30.670 --> 02:26:34.510
to do. The Monterey County Sheriff's Department was contacted and
2389
02:26:34.559 --> 02:26:38.500
a report was filed. Soon after, the Sheriff's Department, along
2390
02:26:38.520 --> 02:26:43.079
with the California National Guard, U.S. Forest Service, California Highway Patrol,
2391
02:26:43.409 --> 02:26:46.370
and the Coast Guard led it into Las Padres National
2392
02:26:46.430 --> 02:26:50.370
Forest and began their search for Arvin. Using helicopters, dogs,
2393
02:26:50.409 --> 02:26:53.090
and ground crews, the search and rescue team scoured the
2394
02:26:53.129 --> 02:26:56.850
trail but found no sign of Arvin. Although Arvin was
2395
02:26:56.889 --> 02:26:58.969
an experienced hiker and he took along with him more
2396
02:26:59.010 --> 02:27:01.430
than a week's worth of supplies for this very instance,
2397
02:27:01.889 --> 02:27:05.450
neither Arvin nor his trusty backpack filled with supplies has
2398
02:27:05.510 --> 02:27:10.860
ever been found, leaving investigators baffled. Arvin Walter Nelson was
2399
02:27:10.899 --> 02:27:14.299
last seen on August 6, 2014. He is described as
2400
02:27:14.340 --> 02:27:17.840
a black male with black hair, brown eyes, standing 6
2401
02:27:17.840 --> 02:27:21.040
foot 3 inches tall and weighing 200 pounds. He was
2402
02:27:21.079 --> 02:27:24.379
last seen wearing brown hiking boots, a dark blue backpack,
2403
02:27:24.860 --> 02:27:31.329
and carrying leather flip-flop sandals. Number 10. Delmer Wayne Sample
2404
02:27:31.350 --> 02:27:36.110
53-year-old Delmer Wayne Sample was a well-known and well-liked member
2405
02:27:36.170 --> 02:27:40.520
of his community in Onalaska, Washington. Delmar. worked in the
2406
02:27:40.579 --> 02:27:43.780
local Walmart as a pharmacist and was well-acquainted with everyone
2407
02:27:43.819 --> 02:27:47.340
in town. According to those who knew him, he was
2408
02:27:47.399 --> 02:27:49.770
in good shape and loved to spend time outdoors, and
2409
02:27:49.790 --> 02:27:52.129
it wasn't unusual for him to spend long weekends in
2410
02:27:52.149 --> 02:27:56.450
the wilderness. Delmar sometimes changed his plans at the last minute,
2411
02:27:56.950 --> 02:27:58.870
but he always made sure to stay in touch with
2412
02:27:58.909 --> 02:28:01.790
family and co-workers, and it was highly unusual for him
2413
02:28:01.850 --> 02:28:05.290
not to show up to work. So, when he went missing,
2414
02:28:05.530 --> 02:28:08.959
his family knew that something was wrong. Over the weekend
2415
02:28:08.979 --> 02:28:12.879
of March 4th, 2005, Delmer planned to spend a nice, relaxing,
2416
02:28:12.959 --> 02:28:16.899
long weekend in the woods. Witnesses confirmed that they saw
2417
02:28:16.940 --> 02:28:19.940
Delmer at a gas station along Interstate 5 in Harrison
2418
02:28:20.120 --> 02:28:23.610
in Centralia, Washington at around 11 a.m. on March 4th.
2419
02:28:24.909 --> 02:28:27.309
It's believed that Delmer hopped back into his car and
2420
02:28:27.350 --> 02:28:31.709
continued his journey toward Tillamook, Oregon. Three days had passed
2421
02:28:31.750 --> 02:28:33.549
without a word from Delmer, and when he failed to
2422
02:28:33.569 --> 02:28:38.500
show up for work, his employer reported him missing. According
2423
02:28:38.520 --> 02:28:42.540
to a press release from the Chronicle, at around 1.15 p.m.,
2424
02:28:42.760 --> 02:28:45.500
the Lewis County Sheriff's Office was notified of an employee
2425
02:28:45.559 --> 02:28:48.079
who did not report to work at the Chehalis Wal-Mart.
2426
02:28:49.280 --> 02:28:51.760
That same article details how in the 15 years that
2427
02:28:51.780 --> 02:28:54.569
he had worked at Walmart, Delmar had never taken an
2428
02:28:54.620 --> 02:28:59.190
unexcused absence. After receiving this report, the Lewis County Sheriff's
2429
02:28:59.250 --> 02:29:02.690
Office opened their investigation and began their search for Delmar.
2430
02:29:03.790 --> 02:29:06.670
Delmar's friends were interviewed extensively, and this is where the
2431
02:29:06.709 --> 02:29:10.610
police would obtain their first clue. Delmar told his friends
2432
02:29:10.670 --> 02:29:13.940
that over the weekend of March 4, 2005, he planned
2433
02:29:13.979 --> 02:29:17.239
to travel to Tillamook, Oregon to visit the Tillamook Cheese Factory.
2434
02:29:18.680 --> 02:29:21.829
Tillamook is around 158 miles from old Alaska and would
2435
02:29:21.870 --> 02:29:25.309
have taken almost three hours to drive there. With this
2436
02:29:25.370 --> 02:29:28.510
new lead, investigators focused their efforts on Tillamook and the
2437
02:29:28.549 --> 02:29:31.829
roads that Delmer would have taken to get there. Just
2438
02:29:31.850 --> 02:29:35.729
hours into the investigation, officers would receive another vital tip.
2439
02:29:36.829 --> 02:29:40.819
Records showed that Delmer's white 1992 Ford Ranger pickup truck
2440
02:29:41.260 --> 02:29:43.520
had been checked by a park ranger in the Olympic
2441
02:29:43.559 --> 02:29:47.159
National Park close to Lake Quinault. The ranger had made
2442
02:29:47.200 --> 02:29:49.299
a note of the vehicle as it had been there
2443
02:29:49.340 --> 02:29:52.719
for some time, and it wasn't until Delmar's disappearance was
2444
02:29:52.760 --> 02:29:56.819
reported via the National Database that the Rangers and investigators
2445
02:29:56.879 --> 02:30:00.360
put two and two together. In the coming days, the
2446
02:30:00.399 --> 02:30:03.030
Lewis County Sheriff's Office would scour the wilderness in the
2447
02:30:03.049 --> 02:30:06.809
Olympic National Park, and two days after Delmar was reported missing,
2448
02:30:07.049 --> 02:30:10.920
they would make yet another discovery. On March 9th, the
2449
02:30:10.940 --> 02:30:14.180
Lewis County Sheriff's Office, along with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office,
2450
02:30:14.479 --> 02:30:18.559
found Delmer's abandoned 1992 Ford Ranger in a roadside pullout
2451
02:30:18.780 --> 02:30:23.120
on South Shore Road near Lake Quinault. Unfortunately, there was
2452
02:30:23.180 --> 02:30:25.440
no sign of Delmer, and the only things in his
2453
02:30:25.459 --> 02:30:28.889
truck were his sleeping bag and food. The Lewis County
2454
02:30:28.940 --> 02:30:31.649
Sheriff's Office was joined by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office
2455
02:30:31.750 --> 02:30:35.090
and search and rescue teams from Jefferson, Kitsap, Grays Harbor,
2456
02:30:35.430 --> 02:30:40.579
and Clallam Counties. After discovering his vehicle, Investigators and search
2457
02:30:40.600 --> 02:30:44.260
and rescue teams continued searching in the Olympic National Park. However,
2458
02:30:44.559 --> 02:30:47.569
no sign of Delmer has ever been found. There's been
2459
02:30:47.600 --> 02:30:50.120
no trace of Delmer since he left for Tillamook, and
2460
02:30:50.149 --> 02:30:51.969
many believe that he may be a victim of the
2461
02:30:52.030 --> 02:30:57.670
infamous serial killer Israel Keyes. User u slash sleuthingsome left
2462
02:30:57.729 --> 02:31:01.489
an interesting comment on Reddit, which is as follows. I
2463
02:31:01.510 --> 02:31:04.290
knew Del. He went to my church in Chehalis and
2464
02:31:04.329 --> 02:31:07.629
worked as a pharmacist at our local Walmart. He said
2465
02:31:07.649 --> 02:31:10.100
he was going to the Tillamook factory in Oregon yet
2466
02:31:10.120 --> 02:31:13.700
his car was found north near Lake Quinault. They didn't
2467
02:31:13.750 --> 02:31:16.629
find anything in his truck, but his bike was missing,
2468
02:31:16.790 --> 02:31:19.350
and they found a Diet Mountain Dew bottle beside his truck.
2469
02:31:20.870 --> 02:31:23.229
Israel Keys was known to be an avid Diet Mountain
2470
02:31:23.250 --> 02:31:26.649
Dew drinker, but Dell didn't think synthetic drinks were healthy
2471
02:31:26.809 --> 02:31:30.649
and didn't drink any soda. Keys also lived in Neah
2472
02:31:30.690 --> 02:31:34.440
Bay at the time, frequently camped near Lake Quinault, and
2473
02:31:34.479 --> 02:31:36.500
he can't be accounted for in the days leading up
2474
02:31:36.540 --> 02:31:41.729
to Dell going missing. Since Delmar disappeared in 2005, there
2475
02:31:42.350 --> 02:31:44.770
has been little movement in his case, but his family
2476
02:31:44.790 --> 02:31:48.239
and friends are not giving up hope. Delmar Wayne Sample
2477
02:31:48.450 --> 02:31:50.719
is described as a white male with gray and brown hair,
2478
02:31:51.420 --> 02:31:55.600
hazel or blue eyes, standing 5'8 inches tall and weighing
2479
02:31:55.600 --> 02:31:58.540
180 pounds. At the time of his disappearance, Delmar was
2480
02:31:58.559 --> 02:32:00.700
sporting a beard and a mustache and has a scar
2481
02:32:00.739 --> 02:32:03.049
on his big toe and a healed fracture on his
2482
02:32:03.090 --> 02:32:07.149
left arm. Anyone with any information is asked to contact
2483
02:32:07.190 --> 02:32:10.940
Detective Daniel Rorden. of the Lewis County Sheriff's Office at
2484
02:32:10.959 --> 02:32:25.260
306-748-9286 and reference case number 05-C2-774. Number nine, Brandon Lamont Brownlee.
2485
02:32:25.280 --> 02:32:28.590
43-year-old Brandon Lamont Brownlee was last seen on June 14th,
2486
02:32:28.590 --> 02:32:34.370
2018 in the Bob Marshall Wilderness in Missoula County, Montana. Unfortunately,
2487
02:32:34.569 --> 02:32:38.629
there are incredibly few details available in Brandon's case, Montana
2488
02:32:38.670 --> 02:32:41.979
Right Now reported that Brandon presumably walked along the Jenny
2489
02:32:42.020 --> 02:32:44.100
Creek Trail until the point where it meets up with
2490
02:32:44.139 --> 02:32:47.659
Young's Creek. Searchers were not able to determine where he
2491
02:32:47.680 --> 02:32:51.440
went after that. His profile on NamUs gives us further
2492
02:32:51.500 --> 02:32:55.120
insight into his disappearance, although the details mentioned in NamUs
2493
02:32:55.200 --> 02:32:59.049
have not been reported anywhere else. However, according to NamUs,
2494
02:32:59.709 --> 02:33:01.790
Brandon left his home at 3 a.m. and headed out
2495
02:33:01.829 --> 02:33:05.389
into the martial wilderness. Days later, his truck was found
2496
02:33:05.409 --> 02:33:08.250
abandoned in a trailhead with one of the windows smashed in.
2497
02:33:09.530 --> 02:33:12.049
There are no further details or update in Brandon's case,
2498
02:33:12.229 --> 02:33:15.049
and it continues to stun investigators as well as web sleuths.
2499
02:33:15.909 --> 02:33:18.709
Brandon Lamont Brownlee is described as a white male with
2500
02:33:18.750 --> 02:33:23.069
graying brown hair, green eyes, standing 5 foot 10 inches tall,
2501
02:33:23.610 --> 02:33:28.170
and weighing around 285 pounds. He was possibly wearing camouflage
2502
02:33:28.190 --> 02:33:32.079
hunting clothes and carrying a gray frame backpack. Anyone with
2503
02:33:32.139 --> 02:33:35.219
any information is asked to contact the Missoula County Sheriff's
2504
02:33:35.280 --> 02:33:37.860
Office at 406-258-4810 and reference case number 2019-7815. Number 8.
2505
02:33:37.860 --> 02:33:41.479
Angelo Nicola Gotti, Jr. Angelo Gotti will forever remember July 13, 1974.
2506
02:33:41.479 --> 02:33:46.639
On that morning, he drove his son, 21-year-old Nick Gotti, Jr.,
2507
02:33:59.409 --> 02:34:03.000
down along Ortega Highway towards the Cleveland National Forest in California.
2508
02:34:03.659 --> 02:34:05.500
As Nick got out of the car, he said goodbye
2509
02:34:05.520 --> 02:34:08.139
to his father. He was only supposed to be gone
2510
02:34:08.180 --> 02:34:10.860
for a long, solitary hike in the Cleveland National Forest,
2511
02:34:11.459 --> 02:34:16.659
but sadly, he would never return. July 13th, 1974 was
2512
02:34:16.680 --> 02:34:19.530
the last time that Angelo ever saw his son, and now,
2513
02:34:19.530 --> 02:34:22.569
48 years later, the Gotti family are still holding out
2514
02:34:22.610 --> 02:34:24.989
hope for his case to be resolved and for them
2515
02:34:25.010 --> 02:34:30.600
to finally have some closure. July 13th, 1974, Nick hopped
2516
02:34:30.659 --> 02:34:32.399
out of his dad's car and began to walk down
2517
02:34:32.420 --> 02:34:35.540
the Ortega Highway, down to San Juan Hot Springs, and
2518
02:34:35.579 --> 02:34:39.659
into the Cleveland National Forest. Nick enjoyed living off the
2519
02:34:39.700 --> 02:34:42.600
land and was constantly looking to push his survival skills.
2520
02:34:43.719 --> 02:34:45.479
This time, he had planned to stay out in the
2521
02:34:45.520 --> 02:34:49.479
wilderness for a week or so before returning home. As
2522
02:34:49.520 --> 02:34:52.440
the end of July came around, the Gaddies became concerned
2523
02:34:52.500 --> 02:34:55.659
that Nick hadn't returned home. It wasn't unusual for him
2524
02:34:55.680 --> 02:34:58.309
to be gone but he would always keep in contact.
2525
02:35:00.090 --> 02:35:01.950
When weeks had passed and there was still no sign
2526
02:35:01.989 --> 02:35:05.409
of Nick, his father, Angelo, contacted the Orange County Sheriff's
2527
02:35:05.430 --> 02:35:08.270
Department and the Newport Beach Police to report him missing.
2528
02:35:09.690 --> 02:35:12.500
But the Orange County Sheriff's Department were less than cooperative.
2529
02:35:13.280 --> 02:35:16.840
According to the LA Times, quote, Angelo said he was
2530
02:35:16.879 --> 02:35:18.840
told that he had waited too long to report Nick
2531
02:35:18.879 --> 02:35:21.760
missing and that there were no leads to follow, end quote.
2532
02:35:23.510 --> 02:35:27.290
The Gaddies were, understandably, angry and disappointed and decided to
2533
02:35:27.329 --> 02:35:30.979
take matters into their own hands. They reached out to
2534
02:35:31.000 --> 02:35:33.190
a private search and rescue team and the group headed
2535
02:35:33.250 --> 02:35:36.399
out into the Cleveland National Forest to conduct their own investigation.
2536
02:35:37.840 --> 02:35:41.700
Every Saturday for the next four years, the Gaddies navigated
2537
02:35:41.780 --> 02:35:44.139
through the many trails in the forest but found no
2538
02:35:44.180 --> 02:35:47.760
sign of their son. Every crevice and cave was searched thoroughly,
2539
02:35:48.079 --> 02:35:51.120
but Nick was nowhere to be found. There's only one
2540
02:35:51.180 --> 02:35:53.760
clue in Nick's case, and that clue comes from the
2541
02:35:53.799 --> 02:35:56.540
conversation he had with his father, Angelo, on their way
2542
02:35:56.559 --> 02:36:00.530
to the forest. According to Angelo, Nick was much more
2543
02:36:00.590 --> 02:36:02.909
free-spirited than he and his wife, and Nick thought that
2544
02:36:02.930 --> 02:36:06.209
their way of life was wrong. According to the article,
2545
02:36:06.409 --> 02:36:09.479
Nick had left his ID, wallet, watch, and social security
2546
02:36:09.559 --> 02:36:13.520
ID at home before his final trip. His parents did
2547
02:36:13.559 --> 02:36:16.059
notice that this was out of character, but didn't take
2548
02:36:16.100 --> 02:36:18.319
it as an indication that Nick planned on running away.
2549
02:36:19.620 --> 02:36:21.770
His father recalled that Nick took with him his sleeping
2550
02:36:21.809 --> 02:36:25.829
bag and a. 22 Smith & Wesson revolver. His parents
2551
02:36:25.909 --> 02:36:28.569
also pondered the possibility of Nick being a victim of
2552
02:36:28.629 --> 02:36:32.790
William Bonin, a freeway killer, or killer Randy Kraft, both
2553
02:36:32.809 --> 02:36:36.209
of which were active in California at the time. There's
2554
02:36:36.229 --> 02:36:38.590
been no evidence to link the two killers to Nick, however,
2555
02:36:38.969 --> 02:36:44.170
and since 1974, the case has gone cold. Angelo Nicola
2556
02:36:44.350 --> 02:36:47.170
Nick Gaddy Jr. is described as a white male with
2557
02:36:47.229 --> 02:36:51.569
reddish-brown hair, blue eyes, standing approximately 5 foot 3 inches
2558
02:36:51.600 --> 02:36:55.850
tall and weighing about 120 pounds. At the time of
2559
02:36:55.870 --> 02:36:58.709
his disappearance, Nick had a reddish-brown beard and a mole
2560
02:36:58.770 --> 02:37:01.729
on his chest. He was last seen wearing a white
2561
02:37:01.770 --> 02:37:07.110
Yamaha jacket, a white t-shirt, cut-off corduroy trousers, and tan
2562
02:37:07.209 --> 02:37:11.030
or yellow work boots. Anyone with any information is asked
2563
02:37:11.059 --> 02:37:14.159
to please contact the Orange County Sheriff's Office at 714-647-7000
2564
02:37:18.430 --> 02:37:21.319
and reference case number 504-450. Number seven, Andrew Bliss. On
2565
02:37:21.379 --> 02:37:32.879
June 23rd, 2002, 2002, 23-year-old Andrew Bliss was officially reported
2566
02:37:32.920 --> 02:37:35.879
missing by his family, and, according to them, the last
2567
02:37:35.920 --> 02:37:39.120
time they had seen Andrew was on June 20th. At
2568
02:37:39.139 --> 02:37:41.399
the time of his disappearance, Andrew was going through a
2569
02:37:41.420 --> 02:37:44.979
tough breakup and had been depressed. In the weeks before
2570
02:37:45.020 --> 02:37:47.700
his disappearance, Andrew had quit his job and his mood
2571
02:37:47.719 --> 02:37:52.870
had plummeted. After June 20th, 2002, Andrew failed to make
2572
02:37:52.930 --> 02:37:55.709
contact with family and friends, and due to his depression
2573
02:37:55.750 --> 02:37:58.370
and altered state of mind, they sprung into action and
2574
02:37:58.389 --> 02:38:01.670
tried to find him. But they found no sign of him.
2575
02:38:02.290 --> 02:38:05.510
Fearing the worst, his family contacted the authorities, and hours
2576
02:38:05.590 --> 02:38:09.379
after the report was filed, officers in Pulaski County, New
2577
02:38:09.399 --> 02:38:11.920
York received a call from the Sawyer County Sheriff's Office
2578
02:38:12.020 --> 02:38:17.870
in Wisconsin. Three days earlier, on June 20th, 2002, Sawyer
2579
02:38:17.889 --> 02:38:21.149
County Sheriff's Office had received a call about an abandoned
2580
02:38:21.149 --> 02:38:26.459
2001 gray Chevrolet Impala on Federal Forest Road 162 in
2581
02:38:27.200 --> 02:38:31.200
the Chequamegon National Forest. The officers had run the plates
2582
02:38:31.340 --> 02:38:34.659
and discovered that it belonged to Andrew Bliss. So what
2583
02:38:34.680 --> 02:38:36.739
was this car doing all the way out in Wisconsin?
2584
02:38:38.020 --> 02:38:40.680
According to officers, when they arrived at the scene on
2585
02:38:40.739 --> 02:38:43.600
June 20th, there was no sign of Andrew and the
2586
02:38:43.659 --> 02:38:45.739
reports noted that the keys were still in the ignition
2587
02:38:46.360 --> 02:38:48.500
The doors were unlocked and there was no gas in
2588
02:38:48.520 --> 02:38:52.809
the gas tank. Naturally, officers in Sawyer County wanted to
2589
02:38:52.870 --> 02:38:56.430
reunite the car with its owner, but their preliminary searches
2590
02:38:56.629 --> 02:39:00.149
showed no sign of him. It was until June 23, 2002,
2591
02:39:00.149 --> 02:39:04.729
when the nationwide missing person report pinged through their system,
2592
02:39:05.229 --> 02:39:09.840
did they realize the significance of their discovery. The Sawyer
2593
02:39:09.879 --> 02:39:13.739
County Sheriff's Office immediately contacted the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office
2594
02:39:14.209 --> 02:39:17.739
and the investigation continued between the two branches in different states.
2595
02:39:18.940 --> 02:39:21.680
Andrew's friends and family were informed of the news and
2596
02:39:21.700 --> 02:39:24.540
were shocked to hear that he had ended up over
2597
02:39:24.540 --> 02:39:28.500
940 miles away in Wisconsin. It was unlike Andrew to
2598
02:39:28.540 --> 02:39:31.389
take off without warning, and he had not told anyone
2599
02:39:31.440 --> 02:39:35.950
that he planned to visit Wisconsin or the Chequamegon National Forest.
2600
02:39:37.530 --> 02:39:41.030
After discovering Andrew's abandoned car and realizing that he was missing,
2601
02:39:41.979 --> 02:39:44.500
The Sawyer County Sheriff's Office, along with the Sawyer County
2602
02:39:44.549 --> 02:39:48.610
Fire Association, United Search and Rescue, the Civil Air Patrol,
2603
02:39:49.270 --> 02:39:51.809
the Sawyer County Search and Rescue Team, along with many
2604
02:39:51.870 --> 02:39:56.350
other agencies, began their search for Andrew. Crews searched via
2605
02:39:56.399 --> 02:39:58.680
land and air, and scent dogs were also brought in,
2606
02:39:58.959 --> 02:40:03.760
but ultimately, no sign of Andrew was found. Nearby cabins
2607
02:40:03.799 --> 02:40:06.819
and popular camping spots were checked, but Andrew wasn't there.
2608
02:40:07.920 --> 02:40:12.079
The search for Andrew would continue well into November 2002,
2609
02:40:12.079 --> 02:40:15.399
but despite the efforts of investigators and volunteers, no sign
2610
02:40:15.420 --> 02:40:19.040
of Andrew has been found to date. There was a
2611
02:40:19.059 --> 02:40:22.239
glimmer of hope in Andrew's case in September 2002 when
2612
02:40:22.280 --> 02:40:25.319
a leg bone was located in the Chequamegon National Forest.
2613
02:40:26.579 --> 02:40:29.459
The Sawyer County Record would later report, Photographs of the
2614
02:40:29.500 --> 02:40:32.319
bone were examined by an anthropologist, who said the bone
2615
02:40:32.379 --> 02:40:35.139
is not human and most likely is an old chewed-on
2616
02:40:35.180 --> 02:40:39.399
bear tibia, which resembles a human tibia. Since then, there
2617
02:40:39.420 --> 02:40:42.059
have been few updates in Andrew's case and his family
2618
02:40:42.079 --> 02:40:46.280
is hoping that one day someone will come forward. Andrew
2619
02:40:46.299 --> 02:40:50.319
Bliss was last seen on June 20th, 2003 on Federal
2620
02:40:50.360 --> 02:40:55.790
Forest Road 162 in the Chequamegon National Forest. He is
2621
02:40:55.809 --> 02:40:58.450
described as a white male with brown hair, brown eyes,
2622
02:40:59.030 --> 02:41:03.149
standing 6'3 and weighing 180 pounds. His left ear is
2623
02:41:03.190 --> 02:41:07.290
pierced and he wears glasses. Anyone with any information is
2624
02:41:07.350 --> 02:41:10.250
asked to contact the New York State Police at 315-668-2496
2625
02:41:10.270 --> 02:41:12.889
and reference case number 229948 or contact the Sawyer County
2626
02:41:12.930 --> 02:41:15.659
Sheriff's Office at 715-634-4858 and reference their case number 03-062-009.
2627
02:41:36.129 --> 02:41:42.069
Number six, Susan Seymour Adams. 42-year-old Susan Seymour Adams and
2628
02:41:42.110 --> 02:41:44.729
her husband, Tom, had been planning their dream trip to
2629
02:41:44.750 --> 02:41:49.149
the Bitterroot Wilderness in Idaho and Montana. The two had
2630
02:41:49.190 --> 02:41:51.879
spent the early half of 1990 saving and planning for
2631
02:41:51.899 --> 02:41:54.190
the trip, and they were delighted when they found the
2632
02:41:54.270 --> 02:41:56.959
Iron Horse Outfitters, a travel group that could take them
2633
02:41:56.979 --> 02:42:00.579
where they wanted to go. In September, the trip finally
2634
02:42:00.600 --> 02:42:03.139
came around, and the two bundled their gear into the
2635
02:42:03.180 --> 02:42:07.620
car and headed for Idaho. Unfortunately, the dream trip would
2636
02:42:07.700 --> 02:42:11.280
end in tragedy, and 32 years later, Susan is still missing.
2637
02:42:12.120 --> 02:42:15.620
According to her husband, Tom, Susan wasn't an experienced hiker
2638
02:42:15.639 --> 02:42:18.200
and camper, but was willing to put the work in
2639
02:42:18.239 --> 02:42:22.020
to get there. Susan loved spending time in the great outdoors,
2640
02:42:22.360 --> 02:42:24.399
and with Tom by her side and as her guide,
2641
02:42:24.719 --> 02:42:30.809
the two enjoyed many adventures together. On September 22nd, 1990,
2642
02:42:30.809 --> 02:42:33.729
the two left their home in Austin, Texas, and arrived
2643
02:42:33.790 --> 02:42:36.520
in Hamilton, Montana, There they met with the leader of
2644
02:42:36.540 --> 02:42:40.120
the tour company, a man named Art Griffith. From here,
2645
02:42:40.360 --> 02:42:42.100
they made their way to their camp in the Battle
2646
02:42:42.139 --> 02:42:45.750
Lake area. This saw them riding on horseback for seven hours,
2647
02:42:46.000 --> 02:42:49.969
and by the time they arrived, they were exhausted. After
2648
02:42:50.030 --> 02:42:51.969
setting up their camp and getting to know the others
2649
02:42:52.049 --> 02:42:56.610
on the trip, the Addams headed to bed. When morning broke,
2650
02:42:57.090 --> 02:42:59.409
Susan and Tom were excited to get into the activities
2651
02:42:59.450 --> 02:43:01.489
that had been arranged for them, and over the next
2652
02:43:01.549 --> 02:43:04.510
few days, they hiked and hunted in the Battle Lake area.
2653
02:43:05.569 --> 02:43:08.149
The two agreed that this was the perfect trip. They
2654
02:43:08.170 --> 02:43:10.790
were spending time together in the outdoors and were visiting
2655
02:43:10.809 --> 02:43:14.309
some of the most beautiful places in the U.S. The
2656
02:43:14.350 --> 02:43:17.729
next week was jam-packed with activities, but it would be
2657
02:43:17.809 --> 02:43:21.889
September 29, 1990, and it would forever be burned into
2658
02:43:21.930 --> 02:43:26.899
Tom's mind. On that day, September 29, Tom left the
2659
02:43:26.930 --> 02:43:29.200
base camp with a guide to go on an overnight hike.
2660
02:43:30.020 --> 02:43:32.139
Susan had decided to stay at the base camp with
2661
02:43:32.180 --> 02:43:35.780
another guide. Tom kissed his wife goodbye and told her
2662
02:43:35.799 --> 02:43:40.020
that he would be back soon. Unfortunately, when Tom returned
2663
02:43:40.040 --> 02:43:42.729
to the camp the next day, his wife had vanished
2664
02:43:42.760 --> 02:43:46.430
without a trace. Susan was seen for the last time
2665
02:43:46.530 --> 02:43:49.610
on September 30, 1990, when she left the base camp
2666
02:43:49.670 --> 02:43:52.690
in the Battle Lake area. The chef of the tour
2667
02:43:52.729 --> 02:43:55.319
group remembers Susan telling them that she was headed off
2668
02:43:55.379 --> 02:43:57.860
on a short solo hike to do some bird watching.
2669
02:43:58.520 --> 02:44:01.379
The chef watched as Susan walked into the wilderness, never
2670
02:44:01.399 --> 02:44:05.049
to be seen again. When Tom returned that afternoon, he
2671
02:44:05.110 --> 02:44:08.809
immediately noted his wife's absence. He was told that she
2672
02:44:08.829 --> 02:44:11.229
had gone for a short hike, but as darkness fell,
2673
02:44:11.770 --> 02:44:15.049
he began to worry. Tom and other members of the
2674
02:44:15.069 --> 02:44:18.190
group set out looking for Susan, and as they followed
2675
02:44:18.209 --> 02:44:22.260
the trail she took, they found a bizarre clue. Susan's
2676
02:44:22.299 --> 02:44:25.940
footprints were visible down the trail, and Tom hurriedly followed him.
2677
02:44:26.620 --> 02:44:29.479
But just before the meadow where Susan was headed, the
2678
02:44:29.500 --> 02:44:33.940
footprints abruptly stopped. There was no indication that Susan had
2679
02:44:33.979 --> 02:44:36.559
ever made it to the meadow, and no one has
2680
02:44:36.739 --> 02:44:40.040
ever been able to figure out why the footprints suddenly stopped.
2681
02:44:41.540 --> 02:44:43.959
Tom and the tour group continued to search for Susan,
2682
02:44:44.479 --> 02:44:46.969
but as the hours dragged on, it became clear that
2683
02:44:46.989 --> 02:44:50.610
they needed help. The Idaho County Sheriff's Office was called
2684
02:44:50.690 --> 02:44:53.450
and notified of Susan's disappearance, and by the next morning,
2685
02:44:53.649 --> 02:44:56.129
the Sheriff's Office and search and rescue teams had arrived
2686
02:44:56.170 --> 02:45:00.680
at the Battle Lake campground, ready to locate Susan. Despite
2687
02:45:00.719 --> 02:45:04.260
exhaustive efforts on foot, horseback, and via air, no sign
2688
02:45:04.280 --> 02:45:08.079
of Susan has ever been found. The sheriff's office believes
2689
02:45:08.120 --> 02:45:10.860
that she was likely injured or became lost during her
2690
02:45:10.899 --> 02:45:15.569
solo hike. At the time of her disappearance, Susan had
2691
02:45:15.590 --> 02:45:17.870
not taken any food with her and was also said
2692
02:45:17.909 --> 02:45:20.670
to have not been carrying warm clothing or vital supplies.
2693
02:45:22.049 --> 02:45:25.510
The authorities searched for weeks. However, the search was eventually
2694
02:45:25.530 --> 02:45:29.280
called off. Since then, Susan's family have held out hope
2695
02:45:29.309 --> 02:45:31.850
that one day her remains will be located and that
2696
02:45:31.870 --> 02:45:35.889
they will finally learn the truth. Susan's obituary gives us
2697
02:45:35.930 --> 02:45:38.750
further insight into how Susan was in life. It reads,
2698
02:45:39.510 --> 02:45:42.219
Susan left an enduring legacy of caring and a commitment
2699
02:45:42.239 --> 02:45:45.079
to making the world a better place. While a resident
2700
02:45:45.120 --> 02:45:48.079
of Washington DC, she worked for the rights of the disabled.
2701
02:45:48.799 --> 02:45:51.729
In Dallas, she led the fight for tax equity and
2702
02:45:51.770 --> 02:45:54.340
the rights of the elderly and the poor. As a
2703
02:45:54.360 --> 02:45:57.799
city of Austin industrial waste inspector and subsequently an assistant
2704
02:45:57.860 --> 02:46:00.840
district director for the Texas Water Commission, she worked to
2705
02:46:00.860 --> 02:46:05.899
ensure that environmental regulations were enforced fairly and firmly. Susan's
2706
02:46:05.979 --> 02:46:10.399
outstanding professionalism was reflected in several awards, including being named
2707
02:46:10.440 --> 02:46:13.860
in 1989 as one of Texas' two best hazardous and
2708
02:46:13.899 --> 02:46:18.479
solid waste program managers and field inspectors. Susan's breadth of spirit,
2709
02:46:18.879 --> 02:46:22.040
the dedication she brought to every task, her great curiosity
2710
02:46:22.059 --> 02:46:24.590
about all things great and small, and her love of
2711
02:46:24.649 --> 02:46:27.069
life and nature live on in the hearts and minds
2712
02:46:27.370 --> 02:46:31.850
of all those she touched and left behind. Susan Adams
2713
02:46:31.930 --> 02:46:35.079
was last seen on September 30, 1990, in the Bitterroot
2714
02:46:35.139 --> 02:46:38.620
Wilderness in Idaho and Montana. She is described as a
2715
02:46:38.639 --> 02:46:42.100
white female with brown hair, green eyes, standing 5'6 inches
2716
02:46:42.139 --> 02:46:46.000
tall and weighing 140 pounds. She was last seen wearing
2717
02:46:46.020 --> 02:46:50.420
camouflaged clothing and was carrying a camera and binoculars. should
2718
02:46:50.459 --> 02:46:53.059
not have any food, survival gear, or warm clothing with
2719
02:46:53.079 --> 02:46:56.760
her when she disappeared. Anyone with any information is asked
2720
02:46:56.780 --> 02:46:59.920
to please contact Lieutenant Jerry Johnson of the Idaho County
2721
02:46:59.959 --> 02:47:10.969
Sheriff's Office at 208-983-1100 and reference case number 90274005. Well friends,
2722
02:47:11.049 --> 02:47:14.909
there you have it, another set of mysterious National Park disappearances.
2723
02:47:15.950 --> 02:47:18.629
As always, look forward to your comments on these, but
2724
02:47:18.690 --> 02:47:22.729
please keep it friendly and respectful. Till we meet again,
2725
02:47:23.250 --> 02:47:25.629
be good to yourselves and each other. Stay safe out
2726
02:47:25.649 --> 02:47:29.250
there in the woods. As for me, I'll see you
2727
02:47:29.270 --> 02:47:32.329
a little farther on down the trail. I'm Steve Stockton,
2728
02:47:32.739 --> 02:47:35.079
and I'll talk to you next time. Tell your pets
2729
02:47:35.159 --> 02:47:35.680
I said hi.
2730
02:47:45.620 --> 02:47:51.430
Whispers in the dark night shadows vanish like a phantom's
2731
02:47:51.489 --> 02:47:59.469
breath where did they go only ghosts know mystery wrapped
2732
02:47:59.569 --> 02:48:12.709
in cold silent death I heard it, an echo's call Footsteps.
2733
02:48:11.829 --> 02:48:19.260
Fading to thin air Haunted tales that keep on crawling
