100 National Park Disappearances with Steve Stockton

Whatever is doing this does it with a hundred percent effectiveness and they've

never made a mistake because if they had made a mistake you or I would have

heard about it. National Park mysteries, case files. In the United States National

Park System alone there are more than 84 million acres of preserved woods,

deserts, mountains and other wilderness so it's no surprise that in the past

hundred years there have been a number of cases of reported missing persons.

Well what's most disturbing is these numbers are increasing at an alarming

rate and the circumstances behind these disappearances are beyond bizarre.

Today we'll discuss 10 of the strangest disappearances in our National Parks.

Number 10, Kyle Britton. 27-year-old Kyle Britton was last seen on August 20th 2019

as he was heading into Hawaii Peele Valley State Park for hike. Hawaii County

firefighters have been searching the area ever since. Prior to his disappearance

Kyle told his father that he was headed to Hawaii Peele Valley for a day hike. The

area Kyle was going to hike in as well maintain his hike frequently by

others. Kyle's cell phone last pinged around noon August 30th 2019. His vehicle

was parked at the trail's entrance but his keys couldn't be found. His father,

Attorney Steve Britten, said his son is an experienced hiker. He's been hiking

since he was three so this is not a new adventure for him. It rained on the day

that Kyle disappeared so his family said there was a possibility that he'd

slipped and gotten injured in the valley. They said there's also very little cell

service in the area which would explain why his phone stopped pinging. Search teams

have been looking for Kyle by land and air. They've also grown in size, having

added helicopters, dogs and rescuers. Kyle's father is offering a award for any

information that leads to resolution. As of December 2018 the search for Kyle is

still active but limited and there have been no leads. Number nine, Chiara Henry.

Twenty-year-old Chiara Henry was reported missing July 26th 2019 after the

vehicle she'd rented in Maui was found abandoned in Wai Anapanapa State Park in

Hanna Hawaii. Chiara was last seen on surveillance video on July 21st at 2 p.m.

Departing her its rent a car alone where she rented a car for just one night. It

appears her intended destination was Wai Anapanapa State Park a place she'd

visited two days earlier on a tour and reportedly loved. The car's mileage

indicates it was driven from the rental car agency to the park. While it could

have stopped along the Hanna Highway path, mileage shows it did not veer from

the route. The same day Chiara rented the car she attempted to make a hotel

reservation in Kihei starting the next day from July 22nd to 29th and

Shalcea booked a flight home on July 29th 2019. By all accounts it appears

she planned on being in Hanna for just one night returning to Kihei the next

day and then flying back to her home in San Diego. We've not been able to find

a hotel or camping reservations in Hanna for that night although it is

possible she planned to find one when she arrived or maybe she planned to

sleep in her car stated Chiara's family on a Facebook post. Chiara's phone was

last used on Wi-Fi at 11.04 a.m. the day she disappeared. The park officials

told us her car was noticed on July 23rd and it was officially called in as

abandoned on July 25th. It was towed back to the rental agency on July 26th.

Chiara's credit card had been used almost daily since the trip began both as a

credit card and as an ATM card which she used to take out small amounts of cash

every few days. Her small black backpack, car key and rose gold

iPhone have not been found. Her cell goes straight to voicemail and has not been

used since the morning of her disappearance. Police and community search

efforts in the Wai Anuponapa park and surrounding areas are so far been

unsuccessful. We would like to thank the Maui search and rescue members for

their tenacious efforts in trying to locate Chiara, stated Chiara's family in

Facebook post. Chiara's family announced that a $10,000 reward is being

offered for information leading to her whereabouts. Despite ongoing searches Chiara

remains missing and there have been no leads in her disappearance.

Number 8 Daniel Reza 35-year-old Daniel Reza disappeared on August 25th 2019

while hiking Mount Charleston in Nevada also known as the Spring Mountains

National Recreation Area. Information regarding Daniel's disappearance is

limited but here's what is known. Daniel was spotted over the week of various

trails but he had not returned to his car. When Daniel did not return to his

car search and rescue volunteers engaged in an active search to locate him. In

addition to search and rescue the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police and the

Air Force 34 Squadron which is based at Dallas Air Force Base along with

several hikers and four before drivers also joined in the search for Daniel. We

found out later that he had actually gone up to the Vista Center and purchased

quite a bit of food, a coat, gloves and a couple of other items that gave us

hope that we bought some time since God haze of Red Rock Search and Rescue. Among

the items that Daniel purchased were the following a blue light white nylon

backpack and LED lantern with a blue shade top and a blue and black base. Black

a dark gray landway brand jacket with spring mountain and black embroidery. A

khaki colored booney tie pat with spring mountains embroidered on it.

A rustic wooden hiking stick. Several bottles of bottled water first straight

and Kirkland brands. Additionally purchased food and gloves. It should be noted

that none of these items are located during the searches for Daniel. In October

2019 search and rescue volunteers were put on standby. Volunteers would read

deploy if new details came to light regarding Daniel's whereabouts.

Number seven John Clinton Walker. John Walker was 48 years old at the time of his

disappearance on November 11th 2014. Police are asking for the public's help

locating a Mr. John C. Walker who was last seen in Bellingham, Washington

early in the morning on Thursday November 13th. John is an avid hiker who was

last seen by his landlord and roommate leaving his home on November 11th 2014 at

6 a.m. John's vehicle of white 1997 Chevrolet Luminor was located on

Britain Road near his home where we'd often leave his car to walk to bus stop

on Sunset Drive. He would frequently leave his vehicle to his bus stop near his

home to take public transportation to reach hiking destinations. It is believed

he went hiking that day in remote wooded area based on his interest in hiking

and surveillance video showing him exiting a public transportation bus on a road

leading to remote wooded areas in the foothills of Mt. Baker and into the

snowclawing National Forest. At the time of his disappearance John was

wearing a black beanie on an orange vest. He may also have had a forest green

backpack with him. He has blonde hair long on the sides and bawling at the top

and blue eyes. There is no search and rescue information available

currently regarding John's case.

Number six, Nicholas Hyde Puss. 22-year-old Nicholas Horton Nick Hyde Puss was

last seen on April 1st 2019. Nick's parents reported missing to

Appleton Police on April 1st 2019. At the time of his disappearance his white

German shepherd named Samantha was with him. On April 18th 2019 18 days after

disappeared his black 2012 Ford Fusion was found along the forest road in the

1.5 million acre Chiquamaghan, Nicolay and National Forest near Highway 64 in

Shadow Lake Road west of Mountain, Wisconsin and Oconto County. It looked like

it had been there for some time. There was some snow on it apparently from the

snow that fell April 11th said the Appleton Police in a Facebook post. A

tarp and camping gear were found near Nick's vehicle and his dogs unclashed

collar was found a half mile away. Three deputies checked the immediate area until

dark. Deputies returned to search dogs on April 19th and 20th in search to

wider area. Nick's parents describe him as follows. hometown of

Appleton, Wisconsin aged 22, light male, six-week tall 200 pounds normal

built. Brown eyes, short brown hair, small ribbon-type tattoo on the inside of

left wrist, likely wearing a green letter to get your Gucci on black hooded

sweatshirt, American Eagle Blue jeans and mustard colored steel tote

work boots. Nick was accompanied by Samantha, his white German shepherd, 65

pounds brown eyes spayed, not chipped. Number five, Joseph Wilford Barrett, 42-year-old

Joseph Ford. Joe Barrett was last seen on his home video surveillance system on

July 12th, 2019. He was showed on camera to be having a very heated discussion

around 5.30 p.m. July 12th. The neighbors sent the cops over to his house for

a check at 8.30 p.m. and Joe was not there. At 2.45 a.m. July 13th, 2019, police

pinged his phone around Ulheri National Forest in Montgomery County, North

Carolina. Around the same time cops were able to get Joe on the phone and he

said he was okay and his car was having some trouble and then he was waiting

for a friend to take him home. At some point he stopped responding to text

messages from his friends. Early morning on July 14th at around 4.18 a.m. police

found his car off the road between the airport and a 24-hour store. Joe's

2012 dark blue Buick Conclave had gone off the road down a very steep hill and

had been abandoned at the scene. Joe's accident was reported to police and they

arrived at the scene within 15 minutes but Joe was nowhere to be found. Inside

the car he left his wallet which contained all his credit cards and

driver's license. He also left his cell phone, $453 in cash and the car keys

were still at the ignition. Police were able to tell by the GPS that Joe went

into Spencer, Virginia, then went west and appeared like he was driving

aimlessly turning down roads just to turn around again and so forth then

eventually start going east for some reason. They have surveillance video of

him in Virginia but the police are not disclosing as to what is on the

surveillance. Authorities sent out search and rescue but a detailed record of

what took place is not available. As of December 2019 Joe remains missing and

there's not been any updates on his case. Number 4 Jason Lee Love Lady Jason

Love Lady was 38 years old at the time of his disappearance on October 5th 2013.

Jason went missing while picking pine cones with his mother and stepfather near

Baker Lake on 4th Service Road 12 on the elbow-like trailhead in the Mount Baker

snow qualmy National Forest. He went on ahead of his parents and was not seen

again. He had a three-gallon plastic white bucket with him. He was wearing a red

and black final shirt like green shorts and brown ankle high-work boots. An

extensive search of the area turned up no sign of him or his bucket. The

Hawkecombe County Sheriff's Office is handling the investigation and said that

no foul play is suspected but his disappearance is considered suspicious.

A search and rescue operation using tracking dogs, helicopters and

volunteers failed to locate Jason Love Lady after he was last seen off Forest

Service Road 12 near Wanda Lake Creek just north of the Hawkecombe Skagged

County border but he remains missing.

Number 3 Nate Ashby 22-year-old Nate Ashby was last seen on July 31st 2019 in

Warrenton, Missouri. Nate and his white 1994 Chevy Silverado extended cab

are both missing and there have been no sightings of Nate or his pickup truck

since the morning he left home. Even though Nate's disappearance is not near

National Park or Forest, I wanted to include his case within this episode. It's

very rare to have both a person and their vehicle go missing and considering

this is in the area where others have gone missing and it's also surrounded by

woods it made sense to add it. With that said there have been a number of

searches for Nate but no clues of surfaced and Nate remains missing.

Number 2 Garin Kirk at the time of his disappearance Garin Kirk was 31 years

old. He left home on December 3rd 2014 to hike in the Mount Hood National

Forest with plaster turned December 6th. However on this occasion he didn't

leave family members with any details. Garin's sister filed a missing

person report but the search was delayed until December 8th because search and

rescue crews cannot be dispatched until his vehicle is located to establish

the starting point. His vehicle was found in the parking lot at Frog Lake

campground off US 26 by family member. It was at that point that the search

focused on that area and the heavily wooded areas nearby. Police were able to

ping his cell phone and locate it east of Frog Lake heading in a

southwestern direction. That route would have brought him from Clackamas County

into Wasco County so jurisdiction for the search switch over to the Wasco County

Sheriff's Office. Searchers included Pacific Northwest search and rescue mountain

wave emergency communications Clackamas County Sheriff's search and rescue

Multnomah County search and rescue click attack County Sheriff's Office Lake

County search and rescue. While our County Sheriff search and rescue clats up

County Sheriff's Office the Salvation Army trauma intervention program and

businesses and government camp zigzag welches and sandy plus buds towing of

Oregon City and the Milwaukee Presbyterian Church. Despite the search

efforts no trace of Garin has been found. It was strange that a cell phone was

speaking to the southwest of Frog Lake in the direction of Clear Lake. The

search efforts seemed to focused on the area to the northeast in the area of

Twin Lakes unless the media misreported the location. To this day Brian and

Annette Kirk and siblings keep his memory alive at the Facebook page in

Loving Memory of Garin Kirk.

Number one Melvin Mel Nadel. Melvin Nadel was 61 at the time of his

disappearance on September 6th 2009. He was last seen bohunting with two

friends in the Alc Mountain area in the Santa Fe National Forest near Pecos, New

Mexico. He took a 44 special revolver and a camouflage print martin bow with

black and white zebra striped arrows with him. At 4.30 p.m. Mel left the campsite

telling his friends he would not travel far and will be back by nightfall but

he never returned and was never seen or heard from again. He left his 2001 Jeep

Cherokee near the campsite with most of his gear locked inside including his

backpack cell phone and GPS unit. He normally carried the GPS with him while

he hunted to keep him getting lost. On Wednesday September 9th 2009 a snowstorm

moved into the Pecos area and the search was called off and then restarted the

next day. Heat sensing equipped helicopters were never used because the Santa

Fe Police Department claimed it none were available at the time of the search.

Mel's footprints were found by search dogs during the initial stages of the

search but the Prince led 50 to 100 yards away from the camp down a trail.

After this point the snow for dogs could find no trace of a scent. During a

subsequent search that was performed on September 13th 2009 which included

members of his family. The scent was found by police dogs along the Pecos River

but was quickly lost just like the initial search.

You've got to look at the evidence and the evidence says that around these

scenes and from where these people have disappeared there's no tracks there's

no scent. So how is something getting out of that area without leaving behind

evidence they were even there and that doesn't make any sense?

Number 10 Terrence Woods 27-year-old Terrence Woods was last seen at the

Penman Mine near Aurora Grande, Idaho on October 5th 2018. At the time of his

disappearance Terrence had been working with the British Film Crew on a

documentary about abandoned gold mines in Idaho County. According to the film

crew Terrence had been acting strange on the day disappeared. Terrence was last

seen when they suddenly jumped off a steep drop and started running away. Some

members with the film crew tried to run after him but they quickly lost

sight of Terrence and their efforts to locate him were unsuccessful. The Sheriff's

Department took immediate action and had crews searching from the air and

ground. Despite an extensive search and expanded search area Terrence remains

missing.

Number 9 Connie Johnson 76-year-old Connie Johnson along with her

border collie Ace were last seen on Thog Mountain near Big Rock, Idaho on October

5th 2018. The area Thog Mountain is very remote and is only accessible by

horseback or by foot. Connie was cuck for the hunting camp ground and she had

arrived early to the campsite prior to the other hunters. The last

communication with Connie was between a group of hunters who were traveling to

their remote campsite. When they made radio contact with Connie they were

unable to understand what she was saying. When the hunters finally arrived to

the camp the next day they were unable to locate her. Connie was a well-trained

outdoors woman who had previously worked as a US Forest Service Ranger and she

frequently led young people and groups on tours of the backcountry. The Idaho

County Sheriff's Office was notified and search efforts were organized. In

addition to Idaho County personnel, the Forest Service, the US Air Service, and

backcountry rescue helicopter assisted in the search. The search was called off

on October 16th 2018. Three weeks later Connie's dog Ace turned up at the most

Creek Ranger station around 15 miles from the camp but without Connie. As of

December 2019 Connie remains missing and there have not been any updates. In a

bizarre coincidence Terrence Woods who was mentioned prior to this case went

missing on the same day and just a few miles away from where Connie disappeared.

Number 8 Floyd Roberts III 52-year-old Floyd Roberts was last seen on June 17th 2016.

Floyd became separated from a group of companions during extreme heat

conditions at approximately 4.45 pm. The group had planned a nine-day hike on

the Shivwoods Plateau that would exit the canyon via separation canyon. He was

last seen near Kelly Tank heading towards Trail Canyon slash 2-14 mile

canyon in the Shanley Spring area towards the river but may have descended into

209 mile canyon. The National Park Service conducted a six-day search effort

but found no clues to guide them on a direction where to continue searching.

Floyd's friends and family members have also conducted searches for Floyd

but their searches yielded no new information. In addition,

flies with Floyd's picture and description remain posted at various South

Rim locations and in the search area at Grand Canyon Parachandt National

Monument. Number 7 Drake Cramer 21-year-old Drake Cramer was last seen on

February 1st 2015 in the vicinity of Brian Angel Lodge on the South Rim of

the Grand Canyon National Park. Drake stayed the night as a guest at the

Brian Angel Lodge and checked out the next morning. Prior to Drake's

disappearance, he sent his family bizarre text message that stated he had to

give his body to mother Earth. Drake's parents believe that the text message may

have just been a reference to need to escape to the outdoors. It was very unlike

him to travel to the wilderness alone but he had been to the Grand Canyon

area two or three times before. However, he was very experienced in the outdoors.

Park Ranger's search and rescue team searched the South Rim area from

hermits rest on the west side to Grandview on the east for around six days.

The park service said, quote, teams of searchers have walked miles along the

Canyon Rim, search heavily forested areas, utilized dog teams performed several

over-the-rim technical searches and conducted multiple aerial reconnaissance

missions to support ground searchers, end quote. With the searchers to know

avail, despite nearly five years later in continued searches, Drake remains

missing. Number six, Morgan Hymer. 22 old Morgan Hymer was last seen on June

2nd, 2015, in the vicinity of Pumpkin Springs in the Grand Canyon National Park.

At the time of his disappearance, Morgan was working his commercial guide for

Rafton Company. The group was on day six of an eight-day trip on the Colorado River

when he went missing. A member of Morgan's group stated that he last saw Morgan

stand at the river's edge. He said when he turned to face Morgan moments later,

Morgan had simply vanished. Park Ranger's and search and rescue team searched the

river and the land around Pumpkin Springs followed by an extended search to

Diamond Creek about 12 miles west of Pumpkin Springs. All the members who were

with Morgan's group were interviewed but no new information came to light.

Despite nearly five years later and continued searches, Morgan remains

missing. Number five, Jason Namp. 20-year-old Jason Namp was last seen in his

residence in the University Terrace Department at Clemson University in

South Carolina on April 11th, 1998. When family and friends were unable to

contact him, a missing person before was filed. Ten days later, his 1990 white

Chevy Barreda was found locked in park to Table Rock State Park in Pickin's

South Carolina, approximately 30 miles from Clemson University in a very

rugged area. Authorities found a receipt from a local Wendy's restaurant dated

April 12th, 1998 at 1.30 p.m. inside the car. Investigators believe that Jason

drove to the park on April 12th but they're uncertain if he was alone. There

was no sign of foul play at the vehicle's location. Authorities searched the

surrounding terrain for two weeks and found nothing of interest. Jason withdrew

$20 from his bank account on the day he disappeared. There hasn't been any

activity on the count since then. He left behind most of his belongings including

his camping gear. He had planned to search for another apartment the weekend

after his disappearance. Jason was an ROTC student at Clemson University at the time

of his disappearance. He majored in mechanical engineering and was doing well

academically. He is originally from Pennsylvania and graduated from Central York

High School in 1996. Despite 3,400 hours of searching by volunteers and

search and rescue professionals including dog teams from North and South

Carolina, Jason remains missing after 20 years. Number four, Barbara Thomas.

69-year-old Barbara Thomas was last seen on July 12th, 2019 while hiking in

the Mojave Desert in California. Barbara and her husband Robert were hiking in

the hidden hill area of the Mojave Desert north of Interstate 40 in east of

Cal Baker Road. Robert stated they were making their way back to their camper when

Barbara walked ahead of him when he stopped to take a photo of a rock

formation. Robert said he saw Barbara around the trails corner but a few

minutes later when he rounded the same corner he couldn't find her. He immediately

got panicked, started waving his arms up in the air while calling out Barbara's

name. He looked around the area and saw that she was nowhere to be found.

Robert then called 911 and that launched a large aerial and ground search from

Barbara. Search and rescue members from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's

Department were deployed into the field with canine units. In addition, members

certifying cave searches, rope climbing and desert terrain ground searches were

called into search. After 14 days the search is finally called off. Number three,

Samantha Sears. 28-year-old Samantha Sears disappeared on August 1st, 2018 on a

solo hike on the West Peak Trail in the North Cascade Mountains in state of

Washington. Samantha started to trail around 8 a.m. was expected to be home by 6 p.m.

that evening to check in with her boyfriend. The following day Samantha's

family filed a missing persons report. She was an experienced hiker and had

hiked the best per area before. The search for Samantha was one of the largest and

longest searches that authorities have undertaken in that area. After three

weeks of continued search efforts, the search was officially called off. Search

and rescue sergeant John Adams stated, quote, we've exhausted all our leads and

tips. We've interviewed every witness that has come forward and have double

checked every possible route that Samantha could have taken. If there was a place

we thought she could get to, we put people there to look in the quote. Despite the

extensive search, no evidence relating to Samantha's whereabouts have been

found and she remains missing. Number two, Paul Miller. 51-year-old Paul

Miller disappeared on July 13th, 2018 in the Joshua Tree National Park in

California. All was on vacation with his wife Stephanie to celebrate their

26th wedding anniversary. As they were getting ready to leave their hotel room in

29 palms, Paul told his wife that he wanted to go out on one last hike in hopes of

photographing some of the big horned sheep that are native to the area. Paul left

the hotel alone at around 9 a.m. and drove to the 49 palms oyster trail in Joshua

Tree National Park. Paul promised Stephanie that he would be back later that

morning. Stephanie wanted to go with Paul, but due to time constraints

pressuring him on their last day, she decided to stay at the hotel in Park. The

couple had both hiked in Joshua Tree National Park one day prior to this and on

previous trips to the area. So Paul knew the trails in area fairly well. When Paul

had returned by 11 a.m., Stephanie called Park officials who began to search for

Paul approximately 12.30 p.m. Paul's rental car was quickly located at the 49 palms

oyster trailhead and his cell phone was left behind at the hotel. Despite an

extensive search involving 600 people putting in over 6,000 hours, over 20

dog teams, and ATV search team and helicopters, no sign of Paul has ever been

found. Despite a large number of K-9 teams, the dogs are unable to pick up a

cent. The search was scaled back on July 18th. Over one year later, Paul remains

missing. Number one, Devon Williams. The last week of May in the year 1995, a

29-year-old truck driver who named Devon Williams headed out towards California to

make a delivery. Even though Devon had taken this route several times before, he

would never make it back home. Devon would also leave behind a baffling mystery that

goes unsolved to this very day. The mystery starts in the Tonto National Forest

near King, Arizona. Devon's massive 10-ton 18-hoiler semi-truck had suddenly

appeared out of nowhere and went barreling through a campground, sending people

running and scattering in a panic trying to seek cover. The truck didn't

cling to way down the narrow campground and out of sight. The next time anyone

would see the truck, it would be stalled in the field surrounded by woods some

distance away. It was then the two hikers stumbled upon the truck and a

seemingly dazed and confused Devon Williams. As the hikers wondered what to do,

Williams allegedly said to them, they made me do it. I'm going to jail. Authorities

were notified immediately, but by the time they arrived, Devon was nowhere to be

found. Considering the testimony of the hikers, it was thought that some sort of

foul play was going on, but the inside of the truck was found to be clean and

well cared for with no sign of any struggle. Devon had left behind his briefcase,

nothing seemed to be missing, and the cargo was completely intact. The truck

was positively identified as being Devon's, but no one could figure out what it

possessed to take a detour to Arizona off the highway to go rampaging through

a crowded campground he had never been to before, only to drive out into the

forest and abandon his truck and cargo. Things would get even stranger when the

next day two campers driving through the park drove by Devon. They described

him as walking along in some sort of trance and talking to himself. They then

stopped to ask him if he needed help. Devon responded by saying, quote, I got

a light to grill. He then proceeded to take a rock and strike it against a

$20 bill he was holding. Then without warning, Devon threw the rock at their

car and they decided to drive off. That would be the last encounter that anyone

would ever have with Devon. Extensive searches turned up absolutely nothing,

leaving authorities trying to find answers, but there wasn't much to go on. It

wasn't until May 2, 1997 when a human skull was found just a quarter of a mile

from where it was last seen. The skull was positively identified as belonging to

Devon Williams, but considering that there was no trauma or injury found on it,

it's impossible to know how he died. The proximity of the skull to where he had

disappeared was also a conundrum. As the area had been searched quite extensively

in the days after he disappeared, and far from some remote wilderness, this is a

very popular outdoor recreation area visited by scores of people. So how did

his skull go unnoticed for all those years? It doesn't make sense. None of it

does. There's been no real theory that neatly ties it all together and it all

remains an enigma. What do you think happened to Devon Williams? Please let me

know what you think in the comment section below. Case updates. There were a

couple of potential updates on two of the cases we've covered. The case of Nate

Ashby from episode number one. Last week, Nate's truck was pulled from

Missouri River. Inside of the truck, authorities found human remains believed to

be that of Nate Ashby. Once more information is available, we'll keep you

updated. Also, Paul Miller from today's episode. Human remains were found in

Joshua Tree Park last week. Those remains are believed to be that of Paul

Miller. Again, information is limited, but once there's more information available,

we'll update these cases in detail. With that said, we would like to send

their thoughts and prayers to the families of Nate and Paul as they await

confirmation. Number 10. Sharon Buas. Forty-eight-year-old Sharon Buas was

reported missing by our longtime hiking partner Anne Johnson on May 24, 2014.

Anne Johnson called police after Sharon missed a hike with the Opine Club. They're

supposed to hike Hawthorne Peak at 9 a.m., but Sharon didn't turn up, and this was

very unusual for. Anne had a bad feeling about Sharon being a no-show, and she

left a wedding reception early to drive around the trailheads to find Sharon's

car. On 24th of May, 2014 at around 9.30 p.m., Anne found Sharon's car at the

Mount Roberts Trailhead. The local search and rescue community was

coordinated by the Alaskan State Troopers. The search for Buas began about 1 a.m.

on May 25, 2014. Juno Mountain Rescue, southeast Alaska dogs organized for

ground search, U.S. Coast Guard, Opine Club, and many friends scoured the

Mount Juno Trail System looking for. The search widened to encompass the back

country, and then on May 26, 2014, searchers scaled back the perimeter and

combed back over Mount Roberts and Mount Juno. On May 27, 2014, they focused on

Mount Juno and the lower, less rugged end of the Mount Roberts Trail. A

Coast Guard helicopter equipped with a flier infrared system that

can detect heat sources and darkness was used at night. Searchers said we've

been all over these hillsides, and again assessing where it's likely she has

been. We have thoroughly searched that area, and then we searched and double

searched areas outside of that, and then searched again areas that she could have

gone but isn't likely. Even those areas have been double searched. Search dogs

were also used, but they've not picked up her scent. Dogs showed interest, which

is different and more ambiguous than a learning to a scent, and two different

areas on Mount Roberts on Sunday and on Tuesday. But nothing came of these

incidents. She owned a handheld emergency activation device with GPS, but

unfortunately, it was found at her home. Despite an extensive search in the

area, Sharon has never been found.

Number nine, Richard Lee. 47-year-old Richard Lee was last seen on September

9, 2004, when he left his home in King County for a two-day hiking trip in

the Winnachi, Okanogan National Forest in Washington State. Richard was an

experienced hiker in the wilderness and planned to explore the Kulchuk Lake

area, part of the Cascades. The area was rugged, but the weather was perfect when

Richard set out. During the two days, he phoned his brother and using a cell phone

to tell him all was well. On September 11, 2004, Richard failed to return to his

home in King County, and the authorities were eventually informed of his

disappearance on Saturday the 15th by his wife, who wasn't initially concerned

when he didn't return home on the 11th. Searchers quickly set up a 70 square

mile search area, focusing on Lake Stewart, Kulchuk Lake, and the enchantment

lakes to the southwest of Levinworth. Unfortunately, up to eight inches of

snow fell in the area at the same time, making the efforts of the search and

rescue teams more difficult. Three planes from the State Department of

Transportation were used, and Chenle and County Mountain Rescue crews were

assisted by volunteers from King, Yakima, and Kittitas counties. Searchers found

Richard's car and eventually his campsite while off the trail. His kit, like his

sleeping bag and food, was found in a tree to prevent bears getting to it, but

nothing else relating to Richard Lee was ever located. Nobody, bones, equipment,

clothing, or signs of a struggle or blood associated with an animal tag. They

reports by some searches that they had an uncomfortable feeling around Richard's

camp, but weren't specific on why.

Number eight, Eric Lewis. 57-year-old Eric Lewis was reported missing near the

top of Mount Renere while mountain climbing July 1, 2010. Eric vanished when he

became separated from his two climbing companions. He went missing when they

discovered that he had unclipped from the climbing rope at 14,000 feet and

suddenly disappeared. The three-man team was ascending the Gibraltar

ledges route and encountered bad weather with high wind and visibility of his

littlest five feet. According to park officials, the climber in the lead, Don

Storms, stopped and was joined by the second climber on the rope, Trevor Lane.

As they waited for Eric to join them, who was last on the rope, reeling it in,

they discovered only a coil of rope with a knot. They'd cut glimpses of him on

the rope just moments before and immediately searched the slope below them. They

proceeded to the summit ridge in case he had skirted around them. Then they

returned to camp mirror at the climbing high camp at 10,200 feet and reported

the incident to climbing rangers. The team of climbers searched in this

equally ice fall and Gibraltar shoot area and a chinoke helicopter flew climbing

areas that seems possibly could have ended up in. Climbing Ranger Tom Payne and

two mountain guides climbed to the summit looking for Eric on light Thursday the

day of the disappearance. The day after the search expanded with more than 40

people involved. Ground searchers included National Park Service Climbing Rangers,

climbing guides from a near mountain nearing incorporated, Alpine Assents

International and International Mountain Guides, as well as volunteers from

Olympic Mountain Rescue. Park Rangers aboard a military chinoke helicopter from

Fort Lewis and a commercial helicopter from Northwest Helicopters searched

from the air. Searchers did locate Eric's backpack climbing harness and

snow show at 13,600 feet and a small snow cave at 13,800 feet. He did not

have a sleeping bag, tent, food or down jacket with him. Incident Commander Glenn

Kassler said at the time the search area is high elevation glacial terrain and

demands a high level of technical skill. The odds of finding the missing

climber live must be weighed against the risk to searchers operating in such

hazardous conditions. We've thoroughly searched the areas where we're likely to

find Eric Lewis and believe it's now time to scale back. Normal patrols of the

mountain with a vigil and eye toward finding clues pertaining to the missing

climber will continue. Why did Eric cut himself from the rope? Why is his body

never been found? To this day there are no answers and he has yet to be discovered.

Number 7 Matthew Green 39-year-old Matthew Green was last heard from on

July 16, 2013 when he called his parents and an automotive repair shop to

check on progress and exchanged text messages with friends. Matthew was a

high school mathematics teacher in Nazareth, Pennsylvania and lived in Bethlehem

and was a very experienced hiker and outdoorsman. Matthew arrived in the

area of the Eastern Sierra Mountains in the Asimony National Park on June 27,

2013 to climb with friends. But when a Subaru car broke down they continued

on while he stayed behind at a campground called Shady Rest near mammoth lake to

wait for repairs. The last contact was on July 16 when he called his parents and

the car repair shop to check on progress and exchanged text messages with some

of his friends. At the campsite authorities found some of his gear missing

and a guidebook with pages torn out of it. Friends said he often tore out the

pages for hikes he wanted to go on and when he completed them he would put

them back in his book. In this case the pages was from the Minerad area including

Mount Ritter and Mount Banner but Green didn't sign his name on either

summit's log. His friends returned to the campsite on July 17 and he was

nowhere to be seen. They had discovered that his car had been repaired but he

never picked it up and he hadn't returned to the Shady Rest campground for over a

week. The mammoth lake police department was informed. Several of Matthew's

friends flew to California in canvas must drivers, store owners, librarians

and others in mammoth lakes, posted fliers at trailheads, checked summit

registers and spent several days in the backcountry looking for clues. The

search has gone airborne too with a helicopter flying over the rugged terrain

and one of Green's friends shooting high resolution video from a private plane.

California search and rescue personnel have also volunteered their time.

Despite this extensive search, no trace of Matthew was found.

Number six, Jared Negrette. 13-year-old Jared Negrette was a boy scout who's on

his first overnight backpacking trip. He was last seen on Friday 19 July 1991 at

about 6 p.m. when he fell behind his fiddle scouts on a hike to the summit of

the 11,500-foot Mount San Gorgonio in the San Bernardino National Forest,

Southern California. Another group of hikers spotted Jared

straggling behind and notified the scout troop leader at the mountain summit

but the leader, an experienced hiker, said he would pick up Jared on the way

down. When the leader finally decided to descend the mountain, Jared was nowhere

to be seen. As soon as the troop leader realized that Jared had disappeared, he

accompanied his five other scouts back to the base camp and then hiked about

five miles in the dark to get help. San Bernardino County Sheriff's Deputies along

with search and rescue teams from afar as way of Sierra Madre and San

Demas began searching 130 square mile area of the San Gorgonio wilderness, a

rocky, treeline terrain. Within three days their search was focused on a six

square mile area where a footprint to believe to match one of Jared's

high-top tennis shoes was found. Searchers also discovered beef jerking

candy wrappers believed to have been dropped by the scout and most importantly

his camera was located. On the film role were 12 pictures. Most of the photos

were landscape scenes apparently taken before Jared went missing but the final

picture on the role of film was a photograph of the scouts eyes and nose taken

with the aid of the camera's flash possibly at night after he disappeared.

Family members said it appeared Jared had pointed the camera at his face and

snapped the picture. It seemed possible that the boy had lost the camera while

sliding down a portion of the mountainside. At least 70 officers some of whom were

lifted by an helicopter into the forest and horseback riders as well as

helicopters of infrared were deployed. Over the next two weeks as many as

3,000 people had logged 45,000 hours scouring 50 square miles of the San

Bernardino National Forest from Angela Sokes to Whitewater Canyon. Almost 30

years later no other clues to Jared's disappearance of surfaced and he remains

missing. Number five Joe Domen 68-year-old Joe Domen was last seen on Monday

November 8th 2010 before he headed to the Mount Peely Trailhead. He went for a

solo hike without leaving an eye-tenerate with anyone and as a result no one

realized that he was missing until a week later. Joe was also known as GPS Joe on

the various Arizona outdoor websites such as hikersona.com and

Arizona hikers.com. He posted regularly on those sites it was a keen hiker. He

profiled the trails he explored on his website with pictures and descriptions

www.gps Joe.net which is now sadly defunct. His car was found at the Mount Peely

Trailhead northeast of Phoenix and close to Pason. Friends said Joe was

interested in finding an off trail route to summit Sheep Mountain on the

Mazazal divide TR-23. He had attempted to climb the rugged north south ridge

line that runs up and down to the summit of Sheep Mountain at 6,996 feet three

times a four since the late autumn of 2009. The area is covered with thick

vegetation. An extensive search and rescue effort was mounted to try and find

him. On November 16th the search and rescue responsibility was transferred from

Hila County to the Maricopa County search and rescue team. The Maricopa

mountain airing team, 10 to 15 highly qualified members, were deployed via

helicopter drops to concentrate on the more rugged areas around up and down

the slopes and cliffs of Sheep Mountain. The area around Mount Peely Trailhead

to Sheep Mountain can be treacherous. However, given Joe's significant off trail

experience, it was surprising he just vanished that week in November 2010.

Despite his advanced years, even after the huge official search and then

unofficial search bears on hikers, no sign of GPS Joe has ever been found. No

clothing, gear or body Joe remains missing to this day.

Number four, Harold Drake. 76-year-old Harold Drake was last seen on July 8th, 2015

when he told a friend that he was going on a long hike while they were camping

together in the five for Big Sur State Park in Monterey County, California. He

took a gallon of water and a small pack containing snacks with him for the

hike and planned to return that afternoon to the campsite. But Harold never

returned and his friend reporting and missing to authorities at around 10 p.m.

that evening. The Monterey County search and rescue team along with the

Monterey County urban search and rescue team conducted a search of Pine Ridge

Trail and Mount Manuel Trail, which are the main trails leading out of the

park. California State Park Rangers conducted a search of five for State

Park and adjacent short trails. Another search and rescue team conducted a search

of the Big Sur River Gorge, which is another popular destination leading away

from the park. On August 10th, search and rescue teams from Monterey, Marin and

Santa Cruz County arrived to conduct a further search of the trail and a

helicopter from Neville, Arizona, Lamor and CHP also assisted with the search.

After an intensive five-day search by Aaron Graham, the Monterey County Sheriff's

Search and Rescue team called off the effort. No sign of Harold was found and to

this day his body remains missing in the wilderness. Number three,

Srinivas Sri, Marcapati. 52-year-old Srinivas Sri, Marcapati, was last seen on

December 8th, 2019, while hiking Mount Baldi with three companions. Sri set

out for the summit from the village at Bear Flats in the early morning hour

Sunday, December 8th, 2019, and at some point during the hike, Sri

muttered something to his friend Justin Williams, then just kept walking towards

the snow-covered wilderness on Mount Baldi. His companions contacted the

authorities after they got back to their car around 4 p.m. Due to incoming

inclement weather, the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department immediately smashed

search and rescue. Search and rescue teams from San Bernardino, Los Angeles,

Orange, Kern and San Diego counties with assistance from two sheriff's

helicopters, searched the mountain for any sign of Sri. Search and rescue teams

search in snow-covered conditions at elevations of about 7,000 feet and at

some higher elevations, the snow was waist deep and still accumulating. On the

six-day 32-year-old Timothy Staples, a search and rescue employee, fell to his

death down an ice shoot while looking for Sri. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's

Department immediately called off the search for Sri on December 14th, 2019.

No sign of him was ever found and he remains missing to this day. Number two,

Jerry McKin. 48-year-old Jerry McKin was last seen at approximately 4.30 a.m. to

25.30 a.m. on September 21st, 2002 at his home near the 24-200 block of old

Maryland Highway in Maryland, Oregon, halfway between Maryland, Maryland. Jerry

drove away from the house in his brown of white in 1986 GMC pickup truck which

had a distinctive camper show that runs the link to the bed with a Honda 185

XL motorcycle inside the canopy. He used the motorbike to explore wilderness

areas. Jerry was no novice to the outdoors and was renowned in the area as an

avid outdoorsman. He grew potatoes, alfalfa and grain on his family's farm and

lived with his parents Clifford and Bertha McKin. Jerry was single, very

independent, and while he lived at home on the family farm, he would come and

ghostly pleased. Jerry was planning a hunt with his usual bull and arrows

preferring this method to firearms, but he never returned home and has never been

heard from again. There was no search and rescue information regarding this

case and Jerry remains missing.

Number one, Ryan Stuka. 20-year-old Ryan Stuka vanished on February 17th, 2018

after leaving Asparti on Burfield Drive in Sandpeaks, British Columbia in Canada.

60 kilometers northwest of Kamloops, which is northeast of Vancouver, at around

2.10am. Despite a huge search, no close have emerged as to his whereabouts.

Ryan was a seasonal worker from Beaumont, Alta, and was working as a lift

operator at the Sunpeaks Resort. He came to Sunpeaks on December 1st, 2017 to

spend the season snowboarding. It was believed that he was planning to walk the

shortness until his home, but is unclear how affected he was by alcohol at the

party. When he didn't show up to work later that day, friends reported him

missing. That night his parents received a text message from Ryan's roommate,

but initially didn't think much of it until she read the entire message. They

then reported him missing to the authorities. Since his disappearance, hundreds

of volunteers from Alberta and British Columbia, along with local search and

rescue teams in the RCMP, searched the village and surrounding forest, trails,

and mountains, looking for anything. But nothing has turned up. The initial

theory from search and rescue teams was that Ryan had fallen into a gully, which

was covered by heavy snow later that weekend. But when the snow melted after the

winter, no sign of him was ever found, and he remains missing to this day.

Number 10 Janet Castajon.

44-year-old Janet Castajon was last seen on June 19th, 2015, when she

vanished from her camping trip in the Chirca Highway Mountains in Southern

Arizona with her parents, Dr. Eduardo and Lydia Castajon, all of

us crucious. Janet, the oldest of four siblings, suffered a traumatic brain

injury in a car accident in 1988 when she was 18 years old, causing memory

problems and partial blindness. At the time of the crash, she had just completed

her first semester at New Mexico State University, where she was studying

computer science. Janet was last seen outside of campground, bathroom, and

rusted park. It is a wildflower-carpeted meadow high in the mountains,

rimmed with Douglas fir and ponderosa pine. The family arrived at the rusted

park campground between 1.32 p.m., and when they had finished setting up their

camp, Eduardo made a launch of casities, beans, and rice for the family around

4 p.m. Janet and her mother then walked about a thousand feet from their

motor home down a curved path to the pay station, where Janet deposited the

payment envelope. About 300 feet from the pay station, Lydia decided to go the

bathroom, but Janet didn't need the restroom, so she stayed behind. Janet said

she was going to wait outside, but when her mother came out of the bathroom,

Janet was gone. Lydia estimated that she was in the bathroom only for a few

minutes, and soon became worried when she returned to the motor home and discovered

Janet was not there either. Update. At the time we were investigating cases for

this episode, Janet was still missing. However, with heavy hearts, we must report

that her remains were found in remote area of Arizona in September of 2019. DNA

confirmed the remains were Janet's, and her family was notified immediately. We

would like to send their thoughts and prayers to the family. May Janet rest in peace.

Number 9. Rachel Lackaduck. 28-year-old Rachel Lackaduck was last seen on October

16, 2019, when she left home from overnight hike to a cabin in Hidden Lake Lookout,

in the Mount Bakers, Nakame National Forest in the state of Washington. On October

17, 2019, the Skaggy County Sheriff's Office started a full-scale search and

rescue mission. During the search, Rachel's car was located at the trailhead. In

addition, two hikers came forward and said they witnessed Rachel on the trail,

leading up to Hidden Lake Lookout. The two hikers also stated that heavy snow began to fall

around the same time they witnessed Rachel on the trail. This sighting gave Rachel's

family hope that she had made it to the lookout and found shelter in the cabin.

But when search and rescue workers finally searched the lookout, there was no sign or evidence

that Rachel had ever made it that far. During the search on October 17, 2019,

a search and rescue employee slipped and fell over 100 feet. The search and rescue employee

used his axe and plunge to self-rest into the mountainside to save his fall. The employee survived

the fall but fractured his elbow and introduced hip and thigh and ultimately had to be rescued

from the mountainside by helicopter. Then on October 28, 2019, the search and rescue effort

transitioned to a recovery effort after searches and the hikers family gave up all hope of finding

her life. On October 30, 2019, Skagit County Sheriff's Office said the recovery efforts have

been put on hold due to snow and weather conditions in the mountains. However, the recovery

effort for Rachel resumed in November with air and ground searches. On November 10, the recovery

efforts for Rachel were completely called off. The recovery efforts to locate Rachel were

resuming the spring of 2020. The Skagit County Sheriff's Office prohibited any private searches

for Rachel due to the hazardous icy conditions and continued inclement weather conditions.

Once the family has the approval from the Sheriff's Office, they will organize their own recovery

searches and efforts to find Rachel. If you have any information regarding Rachel's disappearance,

please call the Skagit County Sheriff's Office at 360-416-1911.

Number 8. Catherine Anne Truitt. 37-year-old Catherine Anne Truitt was last seen by a roommate at

their residence in Alameda, California on January 6, 2010. On January 9, her tan 2003 Ford Ranger

Pickup truck was found by federal park rangers at McClure's Beach at Point Reyes National Seashore

in Marin County, California. Two of her dogs were inside the truck. The third was leash to a rock

nearby. Catherine was an avid hiker and had gone on many day trips to Point Reyes and was very

familiar with the area. Catherine is a graduate of the California Culinary Academy and worked as a

pastry chef in various restaurants before she injured her neck on the job and was left disabled.

She took walks as a way of controlling her chronic pain, took classes in computer graphics,

and taught art to children. On January 10, 2003, when Catherine's truck had not moved,

rangers called in search and rescue. The search included upwards of 80 people on foot and at sea.

Search and rescue teams from various jurisdictions were called in to conduct the search,

but were unable to locate Catherine. The surf at the time Catherine was visiting the area was high

and very rough. Catherine's family formerly made a missing persons report with Alameda Police

Department on January 11, 2010. There was no indication of foul play in the immediate area

of where Catherine's truck was parked. Search and rescue continued to search for Catherine

then on January 13, 2003. All search efforts were called off. Park officials believe that Catherine

got into a mishap while hiking at the park or may have been swept to sea during the high tide

and rough seas. The foul play is not suspected and 10 years later, Catherine remains missing.

If you have any information regarding Catherine and Truett's disappearance,

please call the Alameda Police at 510-337-830 or the National Park Service at 415-464-5170.

7. Christopher Chris Sylvia

28-year-old Chris Sylvia was last heard from on February 16, 2015. When he spoke with his roommate

and asked him to meet him at a Buddhist temple in Warner Springs, California the next day.

Chris's roommate went to the designated spot at the agreed upon time, but Chris never showed up.

And for his roommate to simply just decide not to go to the temple after all,

but when the roommate had not heard anything from Chris the following day, he reported him missing.

Chris left his home on February 13, 2015, and his goal was to hike the Pacific Crest Trail

from As of Arrego in Riverside County, California, south to Campo near the US Mexican border in San Diego

County, California. He left on his trip wearing green camouflage pants, a dark fleece jacket and brown

hiking boots. More than 30 volunteers from various agencies gave their time and skills to help in

the search. Search crews included people from Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange

counties. Other hikers found his identification, sleeping bag, backpack, and other belongings lying

in an open area near the temple. Chris's mother, Nancy Sylvia, said he isn't experienced outdoorsman,

and it will be uncharacteristic for him to go hiking alone or to leave his gear behind.

The San Diego County Sheriff's Department said Chris disappearance is not a criminal investigation.

Multiple searches of the area turned up no sign of Chris, and he remains missing.

If you have any information regarding Christopher Sylvia's disappearance,

please contact the San Diego County Sheriff's Department at 858-565-5200.

Number six, Asus Rivera Sr. Asus Rivera Sr. was last seen on March 11, 2019 in running

Springs, California, inside the San Bernardino National Forest. Asus came to running springs for

a job on Catalina Drive, a car pulled with another worker coming from Victorville. The man working

with Asus said he was having a panic attack the evening of March 11, and stepped outside for

some air. When he did not return a little bit later, the man looked for him and could not find

him anywhere. A missing person's report was filed, however, law enforcement said they considered

this a voluntary missing person due to his age. Asus is married with children and does not have a

history of leaving for any period of time. His diabetic, though not insulin dependent,

and he did not take his medication, cell phone, or his wallet with him that day. His man

a smaller stature and speaks primarily Spanish, but does no enough English to get by.

If you have any information regarding Asus Rivera Sr. Disappearance, please contact the Big Bear

Police Department at 909-866-0100 and cite case number 051-900-355.

Number five, Colin Gillis. 18-year-old Colin Gillis was last seen on March 11, 2012.

You've seen walking on State Route 3 between Tupper Lake and Piercefield. These locations are

in the Adirondacks in New York. After spending time with friends at a house party on Pasconga,

Mae Road, Colin left around 1.30am and began walking down a dark highway in a small hometown

of Tupper Lake, New York. Colin was last seen walking near the area of setting Paul Dam Road on Route 3.

A passing motor reported a suspicious person to the Tupper Lake Police Department who fit Colin's

description. When police arrived less than 40 minutes later, a State Trooper checked the area

and no one was found. When Colin did not come home the next day, his family and friends began

searching. State Police in New York State's Department of Environmental Conservation were called

in that evening around 5.30pm. Before he went missing, he had returned from college while on

break. Colin, a pre-med student, was home from studying at SU in my Brockport the night it was

disappearance. Searches for Colin were launched by park rangers in the State Police.

Military helicopters and Fort Drum and more than a thousand volunteers were also utilized in

the search efforts. During these intensive searches, his driver's license and his tobacco pipe

were eventually discovered, but no trace of Colin was ever found. If you have any information

regarding Colin Gilles' disappearance, please contact the New York State Police at 518-897-20000.

When venturing outdoors and into the wilderness, don't forget how important your personal safety is.

Always have a plan for survival and always tell someone where you're going and when you plan

to return. If you're leaving for a day's hike, take enough food and water for three days,

and don't forget to bring something warm to change into an event you become lost. Remember

that even though temperatures can reach well beyond 100 degrees during the day in some areas,

at night time, these temperatures can easily drop below freezing.

Number four, Michael Fickery. 51-year-old Michael Fickery was reported missing when he did not

return home from a four-day hike. On June 15th, 2005, Michael, an avid experienced hiker and

backpacker, visited the north side of the Hatch Hatchy Reservoir in Yosemite National Park for

solo hike. It planned this hike to take him to Rancheria Falls, Tiltel Mountain, Lake Vernon,

and then through Bi before returning back to the Hatchy Reservoir. At some point during the day,

he decided to begin walking to the north up to the Pacific Crest Trail towards Tiltel Mountain.

His family became concerned when he did not return to June 19th, four days after Mike went on his

hike and when his wilderness permit expired. On June 21st, they called the park service and an

intensive search of the area around the reservoir and Pacific Crest Trail was launched. However,

all that was found was a backpack near Tiltel Mountain just off the trail containing a topographical

map, a camera, and a bottle of water. The search and rescue operation involved personnel from five

counties with aircraft and tracker dogs. Apart from the pack, nothing else was found. Nearly 15

years later, Michael remains missing. If you have information regarding the disappearance of Michael

Fickery, please contact Hatchy Ranger Station at 209-379-1928.

Number three, George Pinka. 30-year-old George Pinka disappeared on July 17th,

2011, while hiking at the Upper Yosemite Falls in Yosemite National Park.

George was from Hawthorne, California, and was visiting the National Park with his church

group of 80 people, which around 20 people were walking the Upper Yosemite Falls Trail that day.

The group separated the top with the hikers going back down at their own pace. George likely

fell behind the main group. George's friends assumed he'd hike back to the Yosemite Valley floor

earlier and didn't report him missing until 9 p.m. George completely vanished off the trail.

He was last seen wearing gray sweat pants with white stripes, a black t-shirt that says DNB

across the chest, or a black tank top and gray blue running shoes. He was carrying a blue cloth bag

and some limited food and water. Initial search efforts began that same evening,

and a full-scale search and rescue operation was initiated on Saturday morning, June 18th.

Around 105 search and rescue personnel from around the state were deployed,

along with helicopters and six search dogs, including Yosemite National Park search and rescue,

Inyo County, Mono County, Mariposa County, Marin County, Fresno County,

Two Illumina County, China Lake, Los Angeles County, Vodka County,

Sierra Madere, Yosemite Search and Rescue Dog Teams,

Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, and California Explorer Search and Rescue.

On June 23rd, 2011, search efforts transitioned to a limited continuous search.

After nearly one week of extensive searching, park rangers did not find any clues as to George's

squareabouts. In nearly nine years since George vanished, none of his belongings have turned up

and George remains missing. If you have any information regarding George Pankas disappearance,

please contact the National Park Service at 888-653-0009.

Number two, Stuart Isaac. Forty-eight-year-old Stuart Isaac was last seen in mid-September,

2010, when he parked his black 2009 Lexus IS-250 sedan at Craig Pass,

eight miles east of the old faithful geyser on Yellowstone National Park's Grand Loop Road in

Wyoming. Craig Pass is an elevation of 8,262 feet or 2,518 meters, and is a mountain pass located on

the Continental Divide. The small Esa Lake is located just west of the pass on Grand Loop Road and

is noted for striding the Continental Divide and draining into two different watersheds,

the Atlantic via the Missouri River and the Pacific via the Snake River. Stuart's car was found

abandoned during a routine patrol of the parking area on the evening of September 26th of the National

Park Service. A search was started immediately, but repeated ground and air searches failed to

find any clues or any sign of Stuart. One of Stuart's former high school classmates, Matt Sue Evans,

spoke to Stuart on September 24th, 2010, at around 6.30 pm, her time in Guam, which would

have been about 3.30 am in Maryland. She said that this last two-hour phone call during which Isaac

said he was on his way to Yellowstone was kind of odd. I was kind of surprised to hear from him

because he seldom made calls. We text each other and we do email. Now I know that he's missing,

but why would he call me two days before something happened? Stuart was not an experienced

tiger or outdoorsman. Why did he decide to go to Yellowstone National Park that day in September

2010? A hike that went wrong or something more sinister? Unfortunately, there was little coverage of

this missing person's case in the media and Isaac remains missing. If you have any information

regarding Stuart Isaac's disappearance, please contact Yellowstone National Park's 24-hour

communication center at 307-344-7381. Number one, Thomas Seabold. 31-year-old Thomas Seabold went

missing in the Alaska wilderness during a solo adventure near the end of September in 2012.

Thomas traveled to Alaska in June 2012 to put years of survival's training into practice in the

state's backcountry. A native of Germany, Thomas had spent the previous six years teaching and

training at Three Rivers Drum Outdoor School, a survival school that teaches Native American values

along with weather forecasting, shelter building, and primitive hunting and gathering techniques.

He spent much of his time under the tutelage of the school's founder, Tamarack Song,

who described Seabold as a very experienced outdoorsman and a wandering spirit. To make the trip

to the Arctic, Seabold had taken a six-month leave of absence from the outdoor school.

Thomas began his trip at an Alaskan native fish camp in the south-eastern part of the state,

and from there traveled north along the Tanana River near Fairbanks, all while living on the land.

By September 2012, Thomas had arrived in the northwest Alaska Village of Ambler.

From there, he trekked about 30 miles up the Ambler River to the cabin home of a woman and her 13-year-old

son whom his mentor at the outdoor school had put him in touch with. On September 27th,

Thomas said goodbye and headed off into the gates of the Arctic. That was the last time he was

ever seen. He was expected to be back in touch between the end of October and the beginning

of November, with November 10th being the cut-off date to catch his flight back to Wisconsin on

November 15th. It is clear that something happened which prevented Thomas from following his plans

of tracking 30 miles to the town of Kobuk, where he would have taken his plane back to Fairbanks

and then on to Wisconsin. Alaska State Police were alerted on November 11th, 2012,

when he failed to show for the flight, and they quickly focused their search near the confluence

of the Ambler River and Ulaniak Creek, where they believed sea-bold may have built a base camp.

Searchers immediately launched a search, and were initially confident in finding him as he'd

camped alone in extreme northern wintertime climates before, including reindeer hunts in Norway

and minus 25 below Fahrenheit temperatures. Thomas was highly trained in primitive survival skills,

including building snow shelters, ice safety, making fire and orientering without mapper compass.

Troopers found Thomas's diary in the cabin in the last entry was October 7th,

which stated he was preparing to go on a several-day exploration. The Troopers found no evidence

of being at the cabin after that approximate date. In the diary, he described his hiking and camping

high-repping the mountains exploring for a potential campsite. He also talked about cleaning and

preparing wood for the cabin for the colder weather ahead, what suggested he was planning to return

to the cabin. Search and rescue team inspected the cabin and found that he'd taken most of his gear,

including at least 22 caliber rifle and enough meat and provisions to last him for a while,

but found no sign to guide them to his whereabouts. Due to the severe weather conditions, minus 23

degrees Fahrenheit, the short daylight hours and remoteness of the area, the search faced logistical

issues in getting planes to the target areas. Snowblebills were not able to be used in the search

area because they were only three inches of snow on the mountainous terrain at that time.

On November 20th, the Alaska State Troopers put everything into one last effort to find Thomas.

Up until then, they had been flying a two-seater supercub, a slow-flying plane which was ideal

for the valleys, but it had trouble negotiating the winds in the Highlands, which is where Thomas

was drawn to. They used a piper novelho, a six-seater, so they can put four or five spotters up in the

air. After three days of searching, one plane found a circle drawn on a gravel bar for up the

amber river, 8 miles north of Ullaniac Creek. They landed and checked out whether it could be the

O from SOS, yet found no indication that the circle was connected to seabulls. Thomas could have

made the sign from self-to-market place where he left provisions. Because the circle has such

strong meaning to Thomas, it seems more than possible that he etched the sign. The plane returned

to the site a day later, takes more of the surrounding area for more clues and to take photos.

After six flights over 13 days, the Troopers suspended their search on November 24th,

as temperatures hit minus 35 degrees Fahrenheit. But the task was taken up by family and friends

after they had read about successful rescues of others who survived in arctic conditions for

up to 49 days without food, equipment, or training. And Thomas had at least some of all three.

The family and friends contracted privately with two of the bush pilots previously employed by

the Troopers. If you have any information regarding Thomas seabulls' disappearance, please contact

Alaska State Troopers Cutsebo office at 907-442-3222. Number 10. Ronald Scott Gray.

On September 23rd, 2008, 62-year-old Ronald Scott Gray, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and a

retired Massachusetts state police captain, went missing during an elk hunting trip in the NES

Perst National Forest, Idaho. Ronald's friend, whom he was hunting with, had to leave and

Ronald decided that he would stay in the woods and hunt on his own for a few more days.

Ronald was supposed to meet up with friends in the sew-way area of the NES Perst National

Forest that day, but he never arrived. Ronald was reported missing on September 26th, 2008,

and was last known to be hunting in the bitter root sew-way area from a remote camp on

Mare Lake Ridge in the NES Perst National Forest. There have been unconfirmed reports

of a radio transmission in which Ronald mentions that he injured his knee and was trying to get back

to camp. Ronald never made it back to camp. Ronald was in good health at the time of his parents.

He'd visited the area twice before and was somewhat familiar with the terrain.

He apparently visited the supply cache before he vanished,

and extensive search of the forest turned up no sign of him, and to this day he remains missing.

Number nine, Gordon Sago. On August 14th, 2016, 50-year-old Gordon Sago was last seen when

he ventured ahead of his two friends while running on Mount Cheam Trail near Chiloac, Canada.

Gordon was an experienced trail runner and was said to be in very peak athletic shape at the time

of his disappearance. It's believed Gordon disappeared to an alternate baby Monday peak

in the Cheam Mountain range in Canada. Gordon was familiar with the area and near the terrain well.

He had a cell phone with him at the time of his disappearance, but there was no cell phone

reception in the area where he was hiking. Searched him some Chiloac,

Lions Bay, and Surrey all contributed to searching in the area. The search also involved ground

teams, helicopters, drones, and police dogs, but no trace of Gordon was ever found,

and he remains missing.

Number eight, Roger Sawyer.

67-year-old Roger Sawyer was last seen at a remote campground in the Fumigoo area at Everglades

National Park in Monroe County, Florida, on March 5th, 2011. Rodgers from Oregon, and had taken

a cross-country trip with his family in a motorhome. Some of Roger's relatives went to the

visitor's center, leaving Roger and his wife behind. Roger and his wife were in different areas

of the campground at the time he went missing. He was last seen at the beach at approximately 6 pm.

By 8.30 pm, everyone had returned to the mobile home except Roger and his loved ones alerted

authorities. An extensive search of the area turned up no indication of Roger's whereabouts,

and it isn't clear where they became lost or something else caused his disappearance. His

family describes him as an experienced outdoorsman. Nearly nine years have passed, and Roger remains

among the missing. Number seven, James Taylor Wall. This case has very limited information,

but what we do know is that 30-year-old James Taylor Wall was last seen on January 25th, 2015,

as residents on County Road 2 in Double Springs, Alabama. James may have been involved in a

serious physical altercation around the time his disappearance, but again, the information regarding

the case is very limited. There were reports that said he may have been cited in the Bankhead

National Forest in the vicinity of Houston, Alabama. There is no search and rescue information

available, and James has never been seen or heard from again. Number six, Randall Young.

51-year-old Randall Young was last seen in San Luis Obispo County, California on April 28th, 2010.

He left for a camping trip at Plasket Creek Campground in the Los Padres National Forest,

and was expected to return a few days later, but never did. When his friends went to the campsite

to check on him, they found all his belongings missing. Young's truck was parked on Highway 1 south

of the campground, and the white kayak he had brought with him was gone. The kayak was later

found on Sand Dollar Beach, along with four ores. An extensive search of the area turned up no

side of Randall, and his case remains unsolved. Number five, Bill Owasco.

65-year-old Bill Owasco vanished into the Joshua Tree National Park back on June 24th, 2010.

He had originally planned to only do day hikes in the area and return at the end of each day's

hike. Before leaving, he gave his wife a schedule of the day hikes he was planning to do,

and told her that he would keep in contact with her. When Owasco failed to call her the next day,

she contacted authorities in the area. Searches were initiated, and his car was eventually found

at the Jennifer Flatts Backcountry Registration Board Parking Area Trailhead, for an apparent

hike towards Cuell Mountain. This was not the area he had originally planned to hike on his first day,

and neither his wife or the searchers are sure why he changed what he had given her on the schedule.

The last confirmed contact with Owasco was three days after the search was launched.

A ping from his cell phone was accorded that showed the phone was about 10 miles away from

a cell phone tower in Yucca Valley. There was only the one tower in the area, so they were not

able to pinpoint the exact location of the phone, but extensive searches of all areas

about 10 miles from the tower were conducted to know a veil. About 100 search and rescue personnel,

along with volunteers from Joshua Tree National Park, Riverside County, and the San Bernardino

County Sheriff's Office is participated in the intensive searches. Sent dogs were also deployed

along with helicopters and searches on horseback, but no trace of Owasco was ever found.

Number four, Jacob Oliveri. On August 24, 2011, 23-year-old Texas resident, Jacob Oliveri

drove his 1998 Asusra truck to the Pine Glades Lake Trailhead in the Everglades National Park for a

small hike. Video surveillance showed him entering the park, but never leaving. Jacob's family filed

a missing persons report when he failed to return home. A search team of more than 45 park

rangers and police officers was conducted, and after a couple of days, the search intensified,

with additional canine units and helicopters which combed through the thousands of acres of the park,

but after several days, the search was called off. Jacob's father said his son had been working

as a mechanic in a shop in Conroe, Texas. His father added that he was a good kid who was always

optimistic about his future. Jacob loved the outdoors, and it was not liking to simply vanish or

run away without contacting his loved ones first. Several additional searches have taken place in

the past three years, but no sign of Jacob has ever been found, and he remains missing.

Number three, Gilbert Mark Gilman. 47-year-old Gilbert Mark Gilman was last seen on June 24,

2006, in Thurston County, Washington. He went for a day hike in Olympic National Park,

carrying a camera, but no backpack. He was supposed to meet a co-worker that day, but missed the

appointment. Gilbert's co-worker reported missing on June 25, 2006. Gilbert's Silver 2005 Ford

Thunderbird Convertible was found at staircase ranger station of State Route 101 in the Olympic

National Park a few days after his disappearance. Authorities believed the car had been there since

the day he was last seen. Olympic National Park has extremely rugged terrain with dense forest and

steep rocky hills. At the time of his disappearance, Gilbert was in good health and had good survival

skills from his military training. Gilbert was also at the time of his disappearance, the deputy

director of the Washington State Pension Fund. He formerly worked as a military interrogator and

took assignments in counterterrorism and counterintelligence. He had also worked with the United

Nations and was very active in politics. He had traveled to many places around the world including

Belgium, the United Kingdom, China, Panama, Israel, Kuwait, Somalia, and Iraq. He moved to Washington

from New York shortly before his disappearance. Gilbert's mother believed he may have decided to

become a spy for the United States government and disappeared as a result. However, there is no

evidence to support this theory. Searchers spent 10 days looking for any clue of Gilbert in the

staircase area. They use tracking dogs, helicopters, and a plain equipped with heat sink equipment

along with 62 searchers on the ground. There have been a number of disappearances in the staircase

hiking area, all of which including Gilbert's remain unsolved.

Number two, Justin Richardson. 13-year-old Justin Richardson was last seen in Kaibob National

Forest in Arizona on June 29, 2001. Justin, along with three friends who were all between the ages

of 18 and 21, had gone into an area a few miles south of Grand Canyon National Park and five

miles west of Mokulaj, which has since been torn down. Let's believe that Justin and his friends

are under the influence the day he went missing. Justin and his three friends got separated and two

of them got lost. Justin and another friend went to Tussian, Arizona, and asked another friend to

help look for the missing pair. In the meantime, the two missing ones were located by Grand Canyon Railway

employees south of Tussian, Arizona, but Justin didn't know this. Justin and another of his friends

returned to the Kaibob National Forest at a spot five miles from Tussian and 15 miles from where

their friends had been found sometime earlier. His companion went to sleep at 9 a.m. and when he woke

up at 5 p.m., Justin was gone. Justin had been to the area four times before he disappeared and

was very familiar with the area. He had never gotten lost before. Authorities aren't sure whether he

did, in fact, lose track of his surroundings. He had run away from home once before and it's

possible he tried to do so again and was picked up hitchhiking by a passing motorist. An extensive

search and rescue operation took place, but no sign of Justin was ever found. We have included

the age progression picture of what Justin could look like today. Number one, Karl Landers.

69-year-old experienced climber, runner, and hiker Karl Landers was last seen on May 22, 1999.

Karl disappeared on Mount Shasta while hiking with friends. The group of friends were camping

in a location called 50-50, a place on the mountain where climbers can stop and rest before reaching

the summit. According to his friends, Karl complained of feeling poorly and left ahead of them to

get a head start toward Lake Helen. When Karl's friends arrived at Lake Helen, they asked Ranger

if he had seen anyone passing through on his way to the mountain. The Ranger replied that he had

only seen one person. At this point, Karl's friends believed the Ranger saw Karl,

so they tried to catch up to that person, but subsequently discovered the person they were in

pursuit of was way too fast to be Karl. In addition, the person was wearing different clothes than

what Karl was last seen wearing. At this point, Karl's friends headed back to 50-50 and

hopes that Karl would be there. But when they arrived, Karl was nowhere to be found. Karl's friends

reported him missing, but search and rescue would not start until the next morning on May 23, 1999.

The Siskiw County Sheriff's Department immediately set out on a search through the National Guard

covering the air using infrared helicopter and the U.S. Rangers volunteered to cover the ground

on foot and skis, but no trace of Karl was ever found. The area from which Karl disappeared

is a very large open area. There would be no way for him to have left the area without being noticed.

So where did he go? What happened to all his gear? This case is a very bizarre. If not for the

simple fact that there was nowhere for him to go, yet he simply vanished.

Number 10 Michael Heron

51-year-old Michael was last seen on August 23rd, 2008. Michael lived in Marvel Tennessee at the

end of Bill Branch Road in Happy Valley. Michael was a contractor with two sons in their early 20s.

His parents lived in an adjacent property and enjoyed living in the Smoky Mountains National Park.

Michael's parents lived on the northern edge of the park and Michael liked to head over to their

property to mow the lawn. That was exactly what Michael's intentions were the day he went missing.

Michael's truck with a trailered mower in the back was parked at the end of his driveway

as he was prone to do. Before heading over, Michael emptied his pockets of his keys,

money clip, wallet, cell phone, and his gun, which he left on the counter.

Michael then walked out to the garage and hopped on the ATV driving back up his street.

Chill Howey Lake was less than three miles from his house with a large metal adjacent to his property.

The large river twisted through the landscape, less than three quarters of a mile to the south.

Michael never made it to mow his parents lawn. His truck was found in the driveway with a mower

still on the trailer. His first property lay on the counter, where he left it undisturbed.

His parents waited, hoping it would come back, but after a day passed with no Michael, his parents

called his two sons who responded immediately. His two sons contacted lawn force.

The sheriff's deputies located the Yamaha Wolverine ATV one mile from Michael's residence near Adam's

Creek. The ATV was found to have been shut off using the kill switch, something his two sons

said he would never do. The ATV was found less than three quarters of a mile from the great

Smoky Mountains National Park's northern border. After an extensive search by the sheriff's

department using canines, ground teams, helicopters and searches on horseback, nothing was found.

The blunt county sheriff's department said they did not believe any foul play was involved

in his disappearance, although Michael was never seen again.

Number 9 Joe Cluley

73-year-old Joe Cluley was reported missing July 13, 2018. Joe, a US Navy veteran, was born in

Lansing, Michigan. He was married with five children. After studying electrical design,

he moved the family to Russ Common, Michigan. Russ Common Lake lies about 120 miles south of

Tacuament on State Park. Joe had an engineering services company that he operated successfully

for 25 years. Joe and his wife Lorraine spent their winners in Panama, Florida and would go north

to the Higgins Lake area on the lower peninsula of Michigan. Family owned a two-room log cabin

built in the 1920s, located near the Whitefish Township on the northern bank of the Tacuamenton

River. The cabin was without running water or electricity. They got their water from a local

spraying near the cabin. Joe loved the cabin, but his wife didn't share his appreciation for the

rustic nature of the home. Lorraine would head to the cabin on weekends while Joe would spend

weeks there. Joe drove a 1992 Silver Olesmobile silhouette van that he parked on the north side of

the Tacua Trail in the State Park the day he went missing. His dog, a nine-year-old springer

child mix, accompanied him on that faithful day. Family members say Joe's dog Chip would never

leave his side and was a loyal companion. After parking his van, he opened the door and let

Chip out as they started the one-mile hike to his cabin. Joe called his wife every morning at 9am

and every night at 9pm to stay in touch and report that all was good. That day, Joe and Chip went

on their usual hike and made it back to the van. It was at this point that both the man and his

dog disappeared. Law enforcement found Joe's keys in the unlocked van, something his family says

he would never do. The search for Joe Cluey was the largest in Michigan's history. The search

included the sheriff's search and rescue team, A9 units, the Michigan State Police, and BIA officers

along with a large contingency of volunteers. The search area covered 10,000 acres and although

it was officially suspended after four days, volunteers continued to search for weeks.

Oddly enough, less than a month later, the family dog Chip was found sitting at the front door

of the cabin. A bit thinner, but otherwise in good health. The dog did not look as though it had

been in the forest for several weeks and Chip didn't bark for three days after his return to the

cabin, something very unlike the dog's normal behavior. Joe was the second person within four years

to have disappeared from this region. He was never seen again.

Number eight, Larry Davenport.

20-year-old Larry Davenport disappeared on July 17th of 1983 in the Roan Mountain State Park

in North Carolina. Larry was on a camping trip with friends. Roan Mountains started

North Carolina in Tennessee and are part of the same mountain range as the Great Smoky Mountains.

Larry was seated at a wooden table with friends when he got up and headed into the woods.

His friends assumed he was going into the woods to relieve himself. Larry never returned.

His friends called in the park rangers and for three days, searchers looked for Larry,

no found no evidence before he could have gone.

Three days later and eight miles from the campsite, Larry was found naked and hallucinating.

He had no idea what happened and had a curtain wrapped around his shoulder that he

said he'd gotten from a abandoned cabin. He was in coherent and had scratches over his entire body.

Hundreds of searches had failed to find Larry and he had no recollection of what had happened to him.

He was later transported to hospital and treated for acute brain syndrome. Larry was the second

individual that's had happened to him in the same park in a two week time span. Both males,

both found naked and hallucinating.

Number seven, Charles McCullough. In 1974, 19 year old Charles or Chuck McCullough left his

home state of Virginia for an extended photography and hiking trip. Charles was a keen photographer

and he was planning to visit all the national parks to take photographs. It was inexperienced in

the wilderness and was said to be very ill-prepared. It seems that he had planned to hike to

crater lake along the north road. I have a snowfall during the previous two weeks dropped over

five feet of fresh snow on the area. Cross-country skiers reported that at the time the snow was so

soft and powdery that even with skis they were sinking up to their waist. Charles had told his

friend that if they did not hear from him by February 1st to call the report of missing.

When Charles failed to call his friends they filed a missing person to report.

Immediately an extensive air and ground search of the northern section of the park was started

but no clues as to Charles' disappearance were uncovered. A year later two hikers from Texas took

a wrong turn and ended up in a remote canyon when they stumbled upon an old dirty ripped backpack

in a place called Bibi Creek. The hikers called in the park rangers and one of the seasonal

rangers remembered the description of Charles' backpack. So another search took place in the area

where the backpack was found and the very next day Charles' remains were located.

The skeletal remains were described as bizarre. There were foot bones in the socks but Charles

jeans were empty except for the broken off ends of his shin bones sticking up.

Strangely the jeans were unbuttoned and the belt buckle left undone. The rest of him was simply

gone as if he just melted away. The official cause of death was determined to be natural causes.

Number 6 Michael Malinowski

37-year-old Michael Malinowski was last seen on October 24, 1996 in the Gaines, Pennsylvania area.

The area is very close to Pine Creek Gorge which is known as Pennsylvania's Grand Canyon.

Michael was attending a psychology conference at the time of his disappearance.

Michael was a clinical psychologist with the next wife and son who both lived in San Francisco.

Michael was staying in a lodge near Gaines, Pennsylvania and it stayed there in the past so it was

familiar with the area. The lodge was surrounded by state and federal land it was originally built

back in the 1930s. Michael checked into the lodge, turned on the heater and settled in for the night.

He was scheduled to stay a second night but never showed up.

After a cleaning person noticed he left all his belongings in the room and the bed wasn't made,

they called the police. Michael's 1995 Nissan Center was found parked at the head of a trail on

November 2nd. The trail was an access point to the Barber Rock overlook of the Pine Creek Gorge.

Along with a box of half-eaten snacks a pair of hiking boots were found on the floor of the Nissan

and cell phone was in a backpack on the seat but he was nowhere to be found.

The Hogue Accounting Law Enforcement immediately began a search using volunteers, search and rescue

team helicopters and canine. However, no evidence was found. The search for Michael was the largest

and most expensive in the history of the Hogue Accounting. There was never any activity on any of

Michael's credit cards or social security number following his disappearance and his son says

he was never heard from again.

Number 5, Trenny Gibson

Trenny Gibson was 16 years old when she disappeared from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park

on October 8th, 1976. A group of students from Bearden High School set out for a hike in the

National Park. There were 40 students in all and they were hiking the Appalachian Trail

from Andrew's Ball to Cleanman's Dome. Trenny Gibson was part of the group of students taking

the hike. Trenny had been hiking with different groups throughout the day chatting with one

group before moving on to the next as they made their way along the route. At around 3 pm,

Trenny was with a group that was positioned about a half mile from the Cleanman's Dome parking area.

It was around this time that Trenny disappeared. The area where she was last seen was on an

established trail with an expansive dense forest lying to the sides. There would be no reason to

step off the trail into this hazardous area. The weather for that evening of October 8th,

1976 produced strong winds and heavy rain while temperatures dropped into the 30s.

While all descriptions, Trenny was athletic, very responsible and not the type to run away.

One of the people on the trip described being about 200 feet from Trenny when she saw her lean

over to look at something on the side of the trail and then disappeared to the right of the trail.

A student that was hiking with Trenny when she disappeared described how she was on the trail when

I last saw her. I checked the area where Trenny was last seen. No trail leading off very rough,

small stream, Russian trees, yelled but no answer. The National Park Service and law enforcement

followed up on every conceivable angle. Trenny was never seen again. On one of my live streams on

this channel, I guess Laura Rizt, who is considered by many to be the expert on the Trenny Gibson

Disappearance, you like more information? Have a look for that live stream on the channel,

it's worth a listen. Number four, Carol Van Huller.

Julio Carol Van Huller went missing on June 28th, 1959 in the Dickinson County picnic grounds in

Michigan. The Van Hullers had four daughters and took them to the Dickinson County picnic grounds

at Norway like an afternoon of outdoor fun. Carol's mother was writing the group for dinner when

she noticed Carol was missing. After a quick search, law enforcement was notified. A large scale

search was conducted using 500 searchers, a helicopter and canines. Although the canines picked up

on her scent, they would then lose it. About 13 hours into the search, the search and rescue team

could hear a faint cry from a child. In an area having laden with swamp and underbrush,

authorities found Carol. The previous September, a four-year-old boy had vanished under similar

circumstances, but he was found dead of exposure four days after he went missing. Carol was taken

to the hospital, was scratches and signs of exposure. Number three, LC Davis.

Twenty-four-year-old LC Davis disappeared from Hal Hill, Maine, July of 1911.

LC was an organist at a church in Bethel, Maine when she went missing on Sunday, July 30th, 1911.

LC had played for the morning services at the church and then headed home in Hal Hill.

Around noon, that Sunday, LC disappeared. Initially, her parents thought she may have walked

into the woods behind their house, searching soon. Over 800 people volunteered in the search.

Desperate to find their daughter after three days of searching, the Davis received a handwritten

note from a psychic who stayed that LC would be found, but that she would be in a tree and that

searchers needed to look up. On the afternoon of the fifth day of the search, searchers come through

very rugged terrain three miles into the woods. They found personal belongings of LC scattered

around the area. After hearing a noise, they looked up and found LC about 20 feet up in a tree

with little clothing. LC was brought down and seemed incoherent. She had no recollection of what

happened after she left the church. Through all the questioning, law enforcement wasn't able to

get any information as to how she survived the five days in the woods. She had no memories of what

happened. Number two, John Long. John Long was 58 when he went missing in Eli, Minnesota on April

10th, 1963. John was a logger and had been working at the tomorrow timber company near Echo Trail.

John left that day to go on a hike along the Moose River to watch spawning fish.

For protection, John and brought along his 22 caliber rifle. He never returned so his fellow

workers went to search for him. After coming up in, he handed the workers notified the local law

enforcement. A four-day search was organized by the Sheriff's Department using planes and

search teams on foot, but John was never located.

Number one, Milda McQuillan. Milda McQuillan was 72 years old at the time of her disappearance.

Milda vanished while driving her pee-green two-door at 1968 Dodge on east bad medicine-like road

on the outskirts of Ponsford, Minnesota. Recent rain had made the unpaid roads muddy and a few

miles into the 18-mile trip McQuillan's car stalled. A postal carrier she knew helped her get

it started again. Later on in the trip, just a mile from her friend's home, she made a wrong turn

and asked a truck driver for directions. She never arrived at her friend's house and that truck driver

was the last person to have seen Milda. Milda was reported missing two days later by her friends.

Search and rescue efforts were immediately deployed. Then, three days later, her car was found

abandoned, stuck in the mud on an unused logging road, approximately 100 feet off east bad medicine

-like road, 30 miles west of Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. Then, after another three days had passed,

52 members of the National Guard were deployed to search the same area and found her scarf and

a belt hanging from bush in plain sight. The area where Milda vanished was in a heavily wooded

swamp area about 20 minutes from Maplewood State Park. Milda has not been seen or heard from since.

Brendan Nippon

37-year-old Brendan Nippon was last seen on September 27, 2020, near the Snow Lake Trailhead

at Snow Kwame Pass in the Mount Baker Snow Kwame National Forest located in Washington State.

Brandon and his dog, a mixed-buried named SETA, are said to have hiked in the area every single week

and it's believed that they were headed to Jim Lake. The entire trip to Jim Lake is 11 miles

and is rated difficult with a 2670 foot elevation gain. On September 28, 2020, Brendan's mother

reported missing when he didn't return as expected. A search and rescue effort by the King

County Sheriff's Department and King County Rescue Teams was immediately started. In addition,

366 search and rescue volunteers joined the search, looking for any sign of Brendan

or his dog. Brendan is 37-year-old white male with brown hair and brown eyes. His height is

approximately five foot nine inches tall, anyways around 170 pounds. Unfortunately on October 5,

2020, King County Rescue Teams suspended their search after 2,000 hours of searching.

The search involved ground teams, helicopters, drones, and police dogs,

but no trace of Brendan or his dog was ever found and they both remained missing.

9. Alexander Pish

35-year-old Alexander Pish of Discovery Bay, California,

vanished on October 8, 2020, after setting up an easel for a painting along Diablo Lake

in the North Cascades National Park located in Washington State. Alex was last seen by park

visitors near the Colonial Creek Campground on the shores of the lake. Alex White Toyota Corolla

was parked along Highway 20, where he had set up an easel for painting. On October 10, 2020,

a National Park Service employee noticed that the car and the easel were still there in the same

location with no indication that Alex was in the area. Upon investigation of the surrounding area,

the easel and canvas Alex had been using was still standing. The canvas on the easel had a half

painted image of the surrounding landscape. Alex is described as a 35-year-old white male with brown

hair, but at the time of his disappearance he had a shaved head. His height is approximately

6 feet 1 inches tall and he weighs around 160 pounds. Park Rangers began searching for Alex on

October 10, 2020. Field searchers worked the area near Colonial Creek Campground in Diablo Lake.

Approximately 20 people were in the field looking for Alex. Search efforts continued through

October 14, 2020, but no sign of Alex ever surfaced. As of the making of this video,

search efforts are now minimal. Number 8 Michael Bryson

27-year-old Michael Bryson of Eugene, Oregon was last seen by his parents on Monday,

August 3, 2020. Michael had stopped by their house in Harrisburg, Oregon. He told them he was

riding up with a friend to a week-long birthday party to slash camping trip at Hobo Camp Campground

in the Umpqua National Forest in Oregon. We know he was up there Monday and Tuesday,

and that the DJ at this party that was actually arrived invited him up on stage to do a set,

but by the next morning he was gone, said Parrish Bryson. According to Detective Richard Smith

with the Lane County Sheriff's Office, it was 4.30 a.m. on August 5, 2020 when Michael reportedly

wandered away from a group of friends at the campground in an unknown direction. He added that

Michael had left his camping gear behind, his phone was powered off, and he hasn't accessed his

bank account since. Michael's parents weren't alerted to their son's disappearance until the next day

at 5 p.m. They immediately drove to the area where Lane County Sheriff's Office search and

rescue had already deployed search teams to search by land and water. For days, hundreds of

volunteers showed up to scour miles of heavily wooded wilderness in the area. They searched on foot,

on horseback, and with drones, but there was no trace of Michael. We stayed at the campgrounds

for 19 days looking for our son, and we're truly grateful for those who stayed and helped,

said Parrish Bryson. Michael's parents both described their son the same way. He has a big heart,

and it's always for other people. Michael had previously traveled twice to Africa on mission trips,

and came back with an urge to move there and continue to help others.

If you remember his time there, he got a tattoo of shaking hands with the words,

stay strong, my brother, said Parrish. Michael's family and friends turned to social media to help

spread the word of his disappearance with the hashtags bring Michael Bryson home. Let's find Michael

60-year-old Dr. Margaret Baker of Port Angeles, Washington was reported missing on April 24th, 2020.

Margaret was reported missing by a family member after being unable to contact her.

Margaret's vehicle, a black BMW X5 SUV, was located in a pullout on East Beach Road.

Park Rangers were notified the vehicles located and a hasty search began at Lake Crescent.

On April 25th, 2020, at 6.45 pm, Park Rangers found her submerged red kayak on a rocky shoreline

along US Highway 101, about a mile east of Barnes Point in the Olympic National Park in Washington.

On April 26th, 2020, multiple searches were conducted via boat by Park Rangers with the

assistance of the Clalum County Sheriff's Office and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Park Rangers were also assisted by a search and rescue dive team and search dogs from Ketsup County,

as well as the German Shepherd Search Dogs of Washington State.

Park Rangers continue to search at Lake Crescent today and to organize additional dive team

or services. Park Rangers are also conducting this investigation in coordination with the Clalum

County Sheriff's Office, Port Angeles Police Department, and the investigative services branch

or ISB of the National Park Service. Margaret is described as a 60-year-old white female with brown

and gray hair. Her height is approximately five foot six inches tall and she weighs around 180 pounds.

The search for Margaret has been suspended. Anyone who may have information about Margaret's

whereabouts is asked to contact the National Park Service Investigative Service Branch at 888-653-009.

Number six, Dr. Sam DeBal. 34-year-old Dr. Sam DeBal was reported missing on October 12th, 2020,

after he didn't come home from an overnight hiking trip to Mount Rainier National Park in Washington

State. Sam was last known to be hiking the Mother Mountain Loop out of the Moewitch Trailhead.

During this time, several winter storms blanketed much of the area and temperatures

were in the high 20s to low 30s. Sam is a professor at the University of Washington's Anthropology

Department. His sister said that Sam is a humble guy, a lover of nature, and someone who seeks to

find the humanity in everyone. He is very fit and is considered a skilled hiker with tremendous

experience. For the first nine days, a group including Park Rangers, volunteer hikers, and helicopter

crews from the National Park Service and US Air Force searched for Sam on the ground and by air.

But poor weather conditions on October 14th and 15th, 2020 limited the abilities of rescuers

continue searching on the ground. Sam's family started to petition on October 22nd, 2020,

pleading that rescue teams continue searching for him aggressively for at least 72 more hours.

Three days later, the National Park Service announced that teams had resumed the search for Sam

with ground crews, K-9 teams, flare technology, drones, and helicopters.

Mount Rainier National Park has seen a record number of searches this year with more than 60 so far.

Several hikers remain missing and one mountaineer was located but cannot be recovered due to

hazardous icefall conditions. Sam is described as a 34-year-old male with black hair or short

black beard and brown eyes. Inside is approximately five foot nine inches tall and he weighs around

155 pounds. As weather permits, ground crews, K-9 teams, drones, and helicopters have been out

searching for Sam. The National Park Service asked that anyone who may have information that

would be helpful to investigators, please contact the National Park Service Investigative Service

branch at 888-653-0009.

Number 5. Sandra Johnson Hughes

54-year-old Sandra Johnson Hughes of California was last heard from on June 26, 2020.

Sandra had embarked on a solo camping trip in the Sierra, south of Yosemite,

to escape from the current pandemic. Sandra had recently moved from Maui, Hawaii to California

in June of 2020. She had trained to be a park ranger in college and was experienced in the outdoors.

On July 5, 2020, the Madera County Sheriff's Office asked for the public's help in

locating Sandra after they found her campsite in disarray near the Johnson's metal section of the

forest. On the same day, authorities located her silvered sob in Chiquito Creek to the north of

the campsite. They sent a depredive crash into the tree at a speed of less than 20 miles per hour

before rolling into the ravine. Eichers reported seeing Sandra on July 4, 2020, said she was

barefoot and had a bruise on her face. They offered to help her, but she declined medical assistance.

Officers and volunteers from more than half dozen other sheriff's departments together with

dog teams, the California Highway Patrol, and the governor's office of emergency services

come to forest and with helicopters from the California Air National Guard did an aerial surge.

The search focused around the area where Sandra was last seen, but there was no sign of her.

Then on August 9, 2020, 200 spotted a woman leaning against the tree along road 5s01 near Beosal Road.

She did not wave them down, attempt contact or appear to be in distress.

Upon returning, they recognized her from a missing persons fire and contacted park rangers.

The hunter said that she appeared to be visibly thinner than her last known photograph.

Sandra is a 54-year-old white female with blue shoulder-linked hair,

her natural hair color is brown. She also has brown eyes, and her height is estimated

approximately 5 foot 3 inches tall, and she weighs around 150 pounds. The search for Sandra is

ongoing, but is limited. The artist asked anyone who may have information about Sandra's whereabouts,

please contact the NPS Investigative Service Branch at 888-653-009.

Number 4. Carlos, Alexander, Balthazar

35-year-old Carlos, Alexander, Balthazar's vehicle was located by the California Highway Patrol

on September 20, 2020. Carlos vehicles on Highway 18 and Delta Avenue in remote area Big Bear Lake

part of the San Bernardino National Forest. His backpack was found about 75 yards away

from where his car was parked. Carlos is a firefighter, and according to his family,

he left their home in San Bernardino and was on his way to work the day he disappeared.

They reported him missing four days later on September 24, 2020.

Information regarding this case is unfortunately very limited,

and what is available regarding Carlos' disappearance is nearly the same info in every article.

However, we did find one article that mentioned on September 20, 2020.

Carlos may have been picked up near his vehicle, near Highway 18 and Delta Way,

northeast of Big Bear Lake, by someone driving a Subaru.

With that said, there is no additional information regarding this investigation,

and Carlos remains missing. Carlos has described as a 35-year-old Hispanic male with a bald head

and brown eyes. His height is approximately five feet nine inches, and he weighs around 175 pounds.

Deputies are asking anyone who was in the area of Highway 18 and Delta Way on September 20,

the contact the Big Bear Sheriff Station at 909-866-0100, or the Sheriff's Dispatch at 909-866-7581.

3. Shelby Campbell

On September 8, 2020, 29-year-old Shelby Campbell left for a hike on the North Ogden-Divided

Trail in the Uinta, Wasatch, Cash, National Forest in Utah, and never returned.

Family members called police that evening when she didn't return,

sending Weber County search and rescue teams out into the area until 4 a.m. the following morning.

Shelby's vehicle, a tan-colored 2009 Nissan Maxmo, was later discovered at the South Skyline Trailhead

on North Ogden Canyon Road. The Weber County Sheriff's Department and Weber County

search and rescue crews have searched for Shelby with skilled back-to-efforts on September 11, 2020.

The Facebook page, Help Bring Shelby Home, was created and it sits mass more than 5,700 members.

According to this Facebook page, evidence Shelby left behind gave the family reasonably

she made plans to go up there but potentially did not have plans to return.

Since Shelby's disappearance, hundreds of hikers have volunteered time to search for her in the

terrain surrounding the parking lot where a car was found, but no sign of Shelby has been located.

Shelby's described as a 29-year-old white female with long brown hair. She has green eyes

and her height is approximately 5 foot 7 inches tall. She weighs around 145 pounds.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Weber County Sheriff's Office at 801-629-8221.

Number 2. Barry J. Tragan

On July 25, 2020, Rangers in Montana began to search in Glacier National Park for 68-year-old

Columbia Falls resident Barry Tragan. After he didn't return to his vehicle, which was near

Kentland Lake in the north fork area of the park. Barry's vehicle had reportedly been in that

location since July 22, 2020. The Flathead County Sheriff's Office, Flathead County Search and

Rescue, Two Bear Air, National Park Service Investigative Services, and the FBI have assisted Glacier

National Park with search efforts. The search included ground and canine search teams, aerial observation

using planes and drones, and water observations using a boat and remotely operated under water

vehicle. Beginning on July 27, 2020, the search effort was transitioned to limited search.

Then on August 4, search crews found a pair of sunglasses believed to belong to Barry and

Kent McCree. Gay 9 search units later showed interest in the outlet of Kentland Lake,

prompting further search in the area that no other signs were found.

Barry is described as a 68-year-old white male with gray hair and a gray moustache and has

hazel eyes. His height is approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall and he weighs approximately 220 pounds.

The search for Barry is now limited. Anyone who may have information about Barry's

squareabouts is asked to please contact the NPS Investigative Service Branch at 888-653-009.

1. Lara Vogel

Now, while the disappearance of Lara Vogel was not in a National Park first say,

we felt it should be included in this episode due to the fact that in the last 10 years,

so many people have gone missing without a trace in Hawaii. Here's Lara's story.

43-year-old Lara Vogel of Hawaii was last heard from on February 21, 2010,

while hiking by Paul Wella Point in the Haiku, Hawaii. That night, she sent a text message to

a friend saying she planned to camp out and was meeting all the locals. Lara was a self-employed

tutor and had a tutoring session at 9 a.m. on February 22, 2010, but she never arrived.

That's when her friends reported her missing to the police, but were told they would have to wait

24 hours to begin the search. Lara's friends who knew the area where she had been camping

decided to form their own search. On February 23, 2010, Lara's van was found abandoned

in a grassy area off the main road. The passenger side door was open and her keys were in the

ignition. Lara's wallet and cell phone were not in the car. While searching in the area where

a van was located, her friends found the back cover of Lara's cell phone. That was enough evidence

to finally get the police to investigate. According to investigators, the van was parked near a

transient camp where a group of homeless people live out of their cars. Police say they were

spoken to everyone living in and around that area and have come up with nothing. Police also

searched for days through heavy vegetation and steep cliffs and found no evidence of foul play

or an accident. However, her friends see this differently and feel something happened to her.

Lara was 43 years old at the time of her disappearance. She's described as a white female with

long blonde hair. She has blue eyes and is approximately five foot eight inches tall and weighs

around 140 pounds. The investigation into Lara's squareabouts is still active. If you have any

information, please call the Maui Police Department at 808-244-6425 and refer to case number 10-14126.

Number 10. Jacob Reynolds.

28-year-old Jacob Reynolds, along with three of his friends,

Lynn Lauder, Mitch Adams, and Ryan Stone, disappeared on March 13, 1997 from the

Estrella Mountain Regional Park area of Arizona. The friends were last seen riding off-road vehicles

at the foot of the Estrella Mountains south of the Phoenix International Raceway in Maricopa County.

The friends were reported missing to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. A suspect was later

arrested in connection with a disappearance, but was released due to lack of evidence. The

Maricopa County Medical Examiner's office stated they could have been victims of an animal attack

after bone fragments were later found in the area. An official statement from the Maricopa County

Medical Examiner however admitted there was not enough evidence to positively conclude whether

it remains belonged to any of the missing friends. On May 6, 2001, Arizona federal wildlife

officials killed a 300-pound black bear that was suspected of attacking campers. The county attorney's

office said this was likely the same animal responsive for killing these boys and the case of

the missing friends was closed. Arizona Fish and Game Officials however disagreed since there

had been only one reported fatality in Arizona over the past decade from a bear attack. Plus,

they believe it highly unlikely that an animal that size the bear that was killed would be capable

of attacking and killing four grown men in the same attack. The chances of that were astronomical

and simply too far-fetched. What happened to these four friends then who were just out for some

off-roading fun? Now around the time of their disappearance in 1997, there were large numbers of

reports from people all around the Phoenix area that they had seen UFOs in the sky. These

sightings have led some to speculate that Jacob and the other men may have been abducted by

something otherworldly. What do you think happened? The families of the four missing friends

are asking for the public's help and finding out what happened to their loved ones so they can

get some closure. Anyone having any information regarding their case is encouraged to contact the

Arizona Division of Missing Persons on the web at www.maricopa-missing.com. We're called toll-free

at 1-855-2-find-them. As of April 2021, Jacob, Glenn, Mitch, and Ryan remained missing and there

have been no further updates. Number nine, James Pruitt. Seventy-year-old James Pruitt went missing

on February 28th, 2019, from the Rocky Mountain National Park. He's described as a white male

standing five foot six inches tall and weighed 150 pounds. James had blue eyes and brown

slash gray hair. He was believed to have been wearing a dark blue jacket, a red orange

meaning style hat and blue jeans. I was also carrying a small camera bag with a Nikon Coolpix 900 camera.

James left from his car and the Glacier Gorge parking lot on February 28th were a day hike to an

unknown destination. US park rangers located his vehicle on March 3 and determined that although it

had been parked overnight, no permit was registered to the car. Park rangers contacted James'

family and advised him that Pruitt had no intentions of staying overnight in the park

and that they had last heard from him on February 28th. The National Park Service initiated extensive

search efforts. The search area covered approximately 15 square miles. There were concentrated

efforts in multiple heavily forested areas and searchers encountered chest-deep snow in numerous

places. Thousands of searchers, a dog team, and multiple agencies all assisted in the search and

rescue efforts. On Tuesday, March 5, a multi-mission aircraft, the MMA, from Colorado, assisted

the search and rescue with fixed wing aerial observation, but nothing was found. Due to lack of

evidence to go on, coupled with extreme winter conditions, with more than two feet of snow having

fallen in recent days, the search entered limited continuous operations on March 11th.

Additional searches were conducted on multiple occasions during the summer and fall of 2019.

And on Wednesday, October 9, around 50 Rocky Mountain National Park, search and rescue team members

were involved in an area search which concentrated on off-the-trial areas in the

Prospect Canyon drainage and the Glacier Gorge drainage, which are above Joule Lake.

Five separate teams conducted grid searches in areas populated with thick timber, downed trees,

shrubbery, tall grasses, and many streams. Despite these numerous search efforts, no trace of James

was ever found. As of this recording in April 2021, James remains missing and there have been no

further updates. Number eight, Saeed Imadi. 66-year-old Saeed Imadi disappeared on Wednesday,

July 8, 2020, from the crystal basin area of the Alderado National Forest near Strawberry Point,

east of Sacramento, California. Saeed was camping with friends at the Ice House Reservoir off

highway 50. Saeed was wearing a hat, headphones, buttoned down shirt, shorts, and tennis shoes.

He stood six foot two inches tall and weighed about 190 pounds. He was diabetic and it's unlikely

that he had his medication with him. Although he was in good physical shape with day hiking experience,

he was not familiar with the heavily wooded terrain and was non-experienced climber.

He and his friends went for a hike near Strawberry Point, but Saeed became separated from the group

while crossing the southern fork of Silver Creek. Saeed called his friends from his cell phone

at about 3.30 pm and told them he was on a hill near a road and that the lake was below him.

His friends immediately called authorities. Saeed did not make any further calls to the group.

The search was organized with a group of around 70 law enforcement officers and volunteers

who searched the area with no luck according to Sergeant Anthony Prince of Bay.

For about the first 10 days that Saeed went missing, search crews were operating around the clock.

Sergeant Anthony said, in that area there's a massive wilderness and it's a big open area.

He also said that the Sheriff's Office reduced the search to a limited ongoing one

after so many days of searching and coming up empty. Saeed's son,

Bijan Imati, said that search crews believe they found a print of his father's shoe,

which is located about a mile from where he was last seen.

My dad buys everything at Costco, he said, so we contacted Costco for any shoes he had bought in the

last year. We were able to send that to the search and rescue team and they were able to

determine a match to the shoe print pretty quickly. In mid-July, additional footprints were found

near Granite Springs Road more than a mile away from Strawberry Point. The family was initially

hopeful the match would lead to rescue, but unfortunately the clue led nowhere,

despite search and rescue crews from 19 counties using helicopters and drones.

The National Guard in California Highway Patrol helicopters joined the search,

but there was still no sign of Saeed or his belongings. How did Saeed disappear so quickly

and remain missing despite such extensive search efforts? Saeed's family said they believe he's

a fighter and they're hopeful the plentiful supply of water in the area has helped him survive.

The family's offered a $10,000 reward for information that helps locate Saeed.

As of this recording in April of 2021, Saeed remains missing and there have been no further updates.

7. Marks and Claire

66-year-old Marks and Claire disappeared on July 8th, 2019, from Glacier National Park in Montana.

Mark was semi-retired and was living in a whitefish Montana at the time of his disappearance.

He was briefly employed at Glacier National Park as a Vista Services Assistant earlier that summer.

Before moving out to Montana, Mark was a prominent figure in the Vermont Environmental Community

and had served as the Director of the Vermont Conservation Law Foundation for many years.

Mark also later became the Vice President of the Clean Energy Group in Vermont.

Paul Burns, the Executive Director of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group, said that Mark

was the best kind of ally. All wrote in an email. He was incredibly smart and hardworking,

but also generous, kind, and quick with a smile. He cared about people and the beautiful

places he fought so hard to protect. It's heartbreaking to wake up each day now and think of

him as missing. On July 8th, the day Mark went missing, he was seen by Logan Past Vista's staff

around 2.30 pm. He was living in the parking lot and had it torn to a highline trail.

Mark left his dog in the car along with the keys, so he likely didn't plan to be away very long.

When he didn't return, it was apparent that something had happened.

The next day, July 9th, Mark was officially a missing person and a full-scale search and rescue

operation was launched. Two vistas called the tip line after the search began and reported seeing

him between the haystack butte and granite park chalet on the highline trail in the early

evening on July 8th. No other verified sightings were received. According to park officials,

the search area was characterized by steep slopes with cliff faces frequently over 100 feet high.

Despite the harsh terrain, there were ground patrols, canine units, and a volunteer division

that all combed the area. Two bare air and the US Forest Service provided daytime aerial searches

and night time infrared flights. The US Geological Survey also joined the search efforts with drones.

Missing person posters were placed throughout the park but no new leads developed.

The extensive search efforts continued, but over the weekend of July 13,

park officials had to close the highline trail because a grizzly bear was charging visitors.

The search went on elsewhere until the trail was reopened but there was still no sign of mark.

Park officials reached out to the public hoping for more information or sightings but nothing came in.

On July 18, nine days after the official search began, with thousands of hours put in, park officials

unfortunately had to scale back the efforts. There was simply no sign of mark and no clues to go on.

The search was moved to a limited continuous mode and a park statement said that

rangers would continue those efforts for the foreseeable future. As of April 2021,

mark remains missing and there have been no further uppacks.

Number six, Tyler Stice.

20-year-old Tyler Stice went missing on June 21, 2016, after leaving his home in King Manera's

owner. Tyler was living with his parents while attending college classes and working in a local

furnishings company. Tyler had only been employed there for around a month but had proven to be a good

employee. He was determined to keep his job because he was paying his mother rent, making his

car note and saving for later college tuition. He was attending classes locally when he disappeared

so he had plans of hopefully transferring to Flagstaff in the near future.

Tyler eventually wanted to fly drones for the police department as his job. He was an ambitious kid

and also quite introverted. He enjoyed gaming and other computer activities and was also an

avid photographer. Tyler's described as being approximately six feet tall with brown hair and

brown eyes and weighing around 130 pounds. On June 20, Tyler skipped work which wasn't like him.

So his mom asked, what's wrong? Why aren't you going in? Tyler told his mom that he needed some

time to himself. He left the house for a while but then returned and spent the rest the afternoon

outside with his dad. When they came back in the house, Tyler retreated to his room once again.

The next day, June 21, Tyler woke up and got ready to leave the house. He packed his lunch and left

around 5.36 am like he would in the other workday. Later that afternoon though, Tyler's boss called

his mom trying to locate him and told her he had missed two days in a row. Tyler's mom immediately

knew something was very wrong and she began calling his cell phone but it went straight to

voicemail. She called other family members to see if anybody had seen or heard from Tyler

but nobody had. When she couldn't locate her son, she called the police and tried to file

missing persons report. The police told her that unfortunately they couldn't do anything until after

48 hours had passed. Once Tyler could be considered an official missing person, police began investigating

his disappearance. On June 25, four days after he went missing, Tyler's black Mustang was found

at the dear cane and recreation area located in the Walla Pie Mountains. Most of Tyler's belongings

were not in the car. The plant police did find was puzzling. In the Mustang was a laptop bag

but no laptop. His camera was found in the trunk which was odd because according to Tyler's older

sister Jessica, he never went anywhere without his camera. There was also a cup of chai tea in the

passenger side of the vehicle but according to his family, Tyler didn't like chai tea. Also

note was the fact that the exterior of the car was impeccably clean even though it was suspected

to have been out there for several days. After the discovery of Tyler's car, his family was

even more concerned. According to them, Tyler wasn't really an outdoorsy person so none of the

findings made any sense. Search and rescue canons were brought in and they tracked Tyler's scent

through the woods and inside nearby Girl Scout Camp, about a mile away from the car and then back

out the woods to main road. The route was searched but no further signs of Tyler were found.

The investigation behind Tyler's disappearance deepened and authorities began digging up any

information they could on his recent history. Another shocking discovery was made. Tyler was on

video surveillance June 19, just two days before his disappearance, buying a 22 caliber rifle and

a local Walmart. He then went to a second unidentified store and bought corresponding ammo for the

weapon. Tyler's family was further confused by this as Tyler didn't like hunting, hiking or

anything of the light. The 22's location is unknown but police believe it to be in his possession

left. No further evidence was found pertaining to Tyler's case or whereabouts and he is considered

an endangered missing person. As of April 2021, Tyler remains missing and there have been no further

updates. Number five, John DeVine, 73 year old John DeVine when missing on September 7, 1997,

from Olympic National Park in Washington State. John was said to have been an experienced

hiker and intended to climb Mt. Baldi in Olympic National Forest using the rugged,

manored burn trail. When John failed to show up after the hike has planned,

family reported missing to the authorities. A search and rescue operation was launched that

included officials as well as volunteers. During the search, a rescue helicopter crashed,

killing three people and injuring five others at the 5,000 foot level of Mt. Baldi,

20 miles south of Port Angeles. It fell shortly after taking off from the mountain side to do an

aerial search. On top of this tragedy, authorities said the chances of finding John alive had dropped

significantly as snow and a bitter cold front swept through. The mountainous area was already

steep and rugged with dense shrubbery so the weather conditions further complicated the search

efforts. Nevertheless, the search went on and included four canines. The last time John was seen

was on Grey Wolf's Ridge on the park's north side. No additional sightings were reported.

The search continued for a week but no evidence was found. As of April 2021,

John remains missing and there have been no further updates.

No. 4 Paul Michael Lamontre

65-year-old Michael Lamontre disappeared on July 4, 2012 while competing in the Mt. Marathon

race in Sur de Alaska, which lies south of Anchorage. This event was Michael's first time competing in

the Mt. Marathon race. 2012 was the 85th running of the Mt. Marathon, which has become a major

event in Alaska. There are a limited number of entries with around 90% of the participants being

returning and a lottery system is in place to help determine who gets the coveted entries.

Artistsments are required to run up the mountainside surrounded by thick forests and creeks.

The race spans over 3.1 to 3.5 miles depending on the individuals route.

Starting in downtown Sur de, racers run a half mile to the bottom of Mt. Marathon and

scramble about 2,900 vertical feet of muddy cliffs before getting to race point.

The participants go downhill over snow and rock fields, waterfalls, and cliff facings until

they reach the finish line back on the streets of Sur de. Tim Liebling had warned the racers

during the safety conversations prior to the race. If you have not been up that mountain before,

you should consider going home right now and you should not be in this race.

Michael, however, was undeterred. He was a fit and healthy person, having been a regular

visitor to the gym and completed a 12k event only a month earlier.

So, despite the warning, he chose to continue. The second wave of the race, which Michael was in,

had started 3.15 pm. Around 5.45 pm, Tom Walsh, who was a race steward, told Michael ascending

to the turnaround point about 200 feet from the top of Mt. Marathon.

Michael's wearing black shorts, a black t-shirt, and a black headband.

By that point, the area was getting foggy and cold, but Tom saw no reason to be concerned.

Tom asked Michael for his bib number. Michael replied 548 as he descended back toward the town.

Tom texted race officials that bib number 548 would be home in about an hour and a half.

Hours later, search and rescue teams were called to the scene to search for Michael around 8 pm

when his wife Peggy called and reported that Michael hadn't returned. Temperatures were falling

and there was worsening rain in the area. A 2am and Alaska State Troopers helicopter equipped

with infrared radar was scanning the mountainside. Searchers were worried that if he wasn't already

injured, Michael probably had hypothermia due to his clothing, likely exhaustion, and the freezing

weather conditions. On July 5, the next morning, the 210th rescue squadron of the Alaska Air

National Guard, which specializes in searching for down aircraft and missing hikers,

arrived within HH60 of a Hawk helicopter to provide another infrared scan.

A team of up to 60 searchers also scoured the mountain, including the other side away from

the race course. There was no sign of Michael anywhere. Four days after Michael disappeared,

the official search was called off, though the sewer volunteer fire department kept looking.

A cadaver dog was sent into the area but found nothing, and friends had helped pay for the

taking and analysis of high resolution photographs of the mountain. These endeavors turned up empty

handed as well. It was as if Michael had just walked off the mountainside and had disappeared

from the face of the earth. Mountain rescue experts, firemen, state troopers, search dogs,

and Michael's family and friends, spent thousands of combined hours searching the area without a

single clue ever being found. Even after the official search was called off, volunteers continued

to search the mountain, including Michael's daughter Mary Ann, who said,

sewer has so much meaning to my dad, so here he is looking out. He's on Mt. Marathon,

somewhere. In July of 2013, Michael's widow sued the sewer chamber of commerce who

organizes the early race for $5 million, but eventually settled out of court in October 2014

for $20,000. Race organizers implemented a number of new safety measures in 2013 following

Michael's disappearance, including mandatory sign statements from runners that they've completed

training runs on the course, a one-hour time limit for racers to reach the summit,

and sweeps of the mountain by volunteers after each wave of the race concludes.

These efforts will hopefully keep another tragedy like Michael's from happening.

As of April 2021, Michael remains missing and there have been no further updates.

Number three, Jeffrey Kirkwood. 53-year-old Jeffrey Kirkwood was last seen on April 16, 2015

by Sheriff's Deputy, but incidental contact with him. Jeffrey initially disappeared while on a

camping trip in the point of Vista Valley in Nevada near Fencemaker Canyon. According to his

family, Jeffrey had intended to live off the land in isolated front tear type areas and had already

safely done so in other states during the month's prior to visiting point of Vista Valley.

Is unclear how long he planned to live off the land. When Jeffrey was initially reported missing,

search crews from Washow and Churchill counties joined Persian County crews to assist in the

search for Jeffrey. The Nevada Civil Air Patrol flew during the searches, but were unable to locate him.

Some of Jeffrey's belongings were reported found in an abandoned building.

One of the findings included a notebook that Jeffrey had apparently kept updated.

His journal entries continued until Monday, July 27, 2015, when they abruptly stopped.

There were also reports of several bloody tissues being found in conjunction with Jeffrey's

other belongings. Could he have been ill and that's why I was staying away from people?

Local ranchers had noticed that Jeffrey would leave his camp for a few days and then would return.

There was bad weather in the area, which included heavy rainfall, and ranchers reported that

Jeffrey hadn't been seen for several days. An article later stated,

Jeffrey's body was found in December, but the cause of his death was unable to be determined.

However, efforts to confirm the validity of the report that his body was found have waned,

and no reliable news reports confirming whether Jeffrey's remains were actually located have surfaced.

There have also been no public statements by law enforcement officials,

and there's been no report from a corner that his body was examined for cause of death.

Until such confirmations can be made, Jeffrey will still be considered a missing person.

As of April 2021, Jeffrey officially remains missing, and there have been no further updates.

Number 2. Doug Pierce

86-show Doug Pierce disappeared on April 21, 2005, from Mariposa County in California,

while on a solo camping trip. Doug was in excellent shape for his age, both physically and mentally,

and it wasn't unusual for him to take trips alone. On this particular trip,

he had planned to go camping near shut IP. It is unknown what happened on the trip that

caused Doug to go missing. A few days after his disappearance, Doug's 90s model Ford Ranger

was found stuck in mud and partially burned on Chao Chenle Mountain Road near summit camp.

Search and rescue operations were organized and conducted by the Mariposa County Sheriff's Office.

The area surrounding his truck, as well as local campgrounds were thoroughly searched,

but no trace of Doug was to be found. Authorities stated that the vehicle

appeared to have caught fire accidentally, and they theorized that Pierce became lost when he

tried to walk out of the mountains after abandoning his vehicle. There's no evidence to support any

theory, however, and no possibilities can be ruled out at this time. Although he had already

retired from being a nuclear and chemical engineer, Doug was scheduled to do volunteer work at both

Woodland Elementary and Mariposa Middle School's the day after he disappeared. Of course, he didn't show

up to either place. Doug was said to be a dedicated volunteer who was well-liked among students and

often worked a 50 to 60-hour schedule. He sometimes went by the name Grandpa Doug, and his disappearance

was a profound loss for his community. As of April 2021, Doug remains missing, and there have been

no further updates. Number one, Joseph Lee Wood Jr.

34-year-old Joseph Wood disappeared on July 8, 1999, from Mount Reneer National Park in Washington

State. At the time of his disappearance, Joe was a writer and book editor in New York City.

He worked at a nonprofit called The New Press, a publishing house in Manhattan.

As an editor of The New Press, Joe was also one of the only half a dozen African-American editors

in the business at that time. He was on his way to many more accomplishments no doubt.

Joe was born and raised in the Williams Bridge part of the Bronx. It made Eagle Scout

a high-striking attainable through the Boy Scouts of America, and he loved the outdoors.

Joe also liked one of jazz clubs, eating sushi and writing, and was even starting to write his own

fiction. He was educated at Riverdale Country School and later Yale University. After Yale,

Joe had started shooting a documentary about African-American students at the Ivy League

institution. Jacqueline Glover, who worked with him on the documentary project, said,

a scene he really seemed to like was when one student who was searching to get his haircut had to

go to the Black neighborhood. It was this great scene being in those two worlds.

Joe had phoned to Seattle Washington on July 7th to attend Unity 99. The National Conference

of Minority Journalists. It was at the first such gathering held in Atlanta in 1994 that Joe

had met so many seen Gupta, reported for the New York Times. They ended up living together for

several years. However, the two had separated some six months prior to the Unity 99 conference,

and it only had a brief encounter after the opening ceremonies of Unity 99.

Democratic presidential hopeful Bill Bradley was also in Seattle for the Unity 99 Journalism

Conference. Joe was one of eight African-American journalists to sit down for breakfast with Mr. Bradley

at the Weston Seattle Hotel on July 8th, and it was said that Joe had jumped right into asking

the toughest questions. This willingness to address the difficult issues head on is what helped shape

his career as an African-American cultural critic in the predominantly white precincts of New York's

publishing worlds. Joe had even edited an anthology titled Malcolm X in our own image,

as well as written major features for Rolling Stone and vibe magazines about actor Denzel Washington

musician Sly Stone. During his stay in Washington, Joe wanted to visit Mount Rainier National Park.

Birdwatching was a lifelong passion for Joe's, so he planned to do some hiking and birding at the park.

After attending the conference on July 8th, he drove himself to the mountain and parked his rental car

and allowed it to base. He brought a book, no pad binoculars, and possibly a laptop,

then presumably began walking up Mount Rainier's rampart Ridge Trail.

It is unlikely that he was equipped for any serious adventuring well in the park,

as he only planned to be there a short time. The next day, Friday, July 9,

when Joe didn't show back up for the journalism conference, his friends who were in town were concerned,

but they didn't think anything was seriously wrong, and Joe had only told a casual

acquaintance about his hiking plans at all. It wasn't until Sunday, July 11, when Joe did not

return to New York, that so many, Joe's former partner knew something was terribly wrong.

She began calling friends and family trying to locate Joe, but nobody had heard from him.

On Tuesday, July 13, five days after Joe initially disappeared, so many filed an official

missing persons report. The next day, Wednesday the 14th of July,

park officials located Joe's rental car at the base of the mountain in the parking lot.

Rainier's immediately began searching for Joe upon this discovery.

According to receipt found, Joe had entered the park at 12.29 pm on Thursday, July 8.

Although he lacked more sophisticated hiking gear,

a receipt found with Joe's belongings showed that he had purchased a windbreaker in Seattle.

This, at least, was some good news. However, according to Joe's friends,

he had a heart condition that had just been diagnosed in October of 98 after he had a

feigning spell in an airport, and Joe was considering getting a pacemaker because of the event.

This was not such good news, because it added the possibility that Joe might have had one of these

feigning spells while on the mountain. Throughout the search on July 14, nothing was found to

indicate where exactly Joe had gone. The park service organized many search teams comprised

of backcountry rangers, firefighters, and general volunteers. The teams found out along the

southwest face of the mountain and scoured the landscape. They walked the creek beds,

clambered down ravines, and inspected whatever croaker crevice or cranny they came up on.

Meanwhile, K-9 search and rescue teams covered the hiking trails and held

copters performed aerial searches. The specific issue with this search operation was,

during the winter of 98 and 99, Mount Rainier had been blanketed by the third heaviest snowfall

in its recorded history. This meant that, on the warmer sunny couple of days after Joe's disappearance,

as much as two feet or just over 60 centimeters of snow had quickly melted,

washing away any tracks or scents that Joe might have left while on the mountain.

Nevertheless, the search continued, coming up empty.

On Thursday, July 15, the last known person to have interacted with Joe came forward with

the first and only lead in Joe's disappearance. He was another hiker named Bruce Godman,

would met Joe around 4 p.m. at an elevation of about 4,800 feet or 1.5 kilometers.

There was around two feet of snow on the ground, but up ahead where Joe was headed,

there was snow as high as 8 feet. Joe chatted with Bruce about the birds he had seen on his

hike so far, and Bruce warned Joe about an unstable snow bridge a little ways up to trail,

but Joe assured him that he was going to turn around soon.

The strangers parted ways at that point, and Bruce continued down the mountain and left the park.

On Friday, July 16, there was a rainfall in the area that lowered temperatures,

especially significant elevations. This weather shift made the search more dangerous.

Nevertheless, the search continued. On July 17, the Saturday, Joe's father, Joe Sr.,

his mother Elizabeth and his sister Pamela arrived at Mount Rainier.

By that point, searching rescue leaders weren't hopeful that Joe would have been able to survive

the 10 days since his disappearance alone in the wilderness.

Phone calls had come into the park, offices from the Washington State Governor Gary Locke,

as well as the White House press office in regards to Joe's disappearance.

Park Rangers decided to extend the search another day, citing improving weather conditions.

Still, no evidence of Joe was found despite the extensive efforts.

Sunday, July 18, an emotionally difficult meeting was held, and which Rangers explained why

they were scaling back the official search and rescue operation.

The Rangers believed that Joe had suffered from a horrible accident, or perhaps medical emergency,

and there had been no trace of him after hundreds of hours of location efforts.

They unfortunately didn't believe he was alive and on the move,

since hypothermia would have certainly set him without proper equipment and shelter.

And, they figured if he had a falling accident,

searches would have found him lying on the ground. Instead, they found absolutely nothing.

There were no signs of a struggle, no equipment was found, nothing.

It was as Joe had simply vanished.

Rangers pointed to the mountain's various dangers being the likely cause of Joe's disappearance.

Two other men had also been lost on Mount Rainier so far that year.

A park spokesperson named Maria Gillett said that Rangers would send a helicopter

and canine teams back up the mountain once the snow melted. Otherwise, the official search was

concluded. Joe's family and friends were understandably devastated. Many people had even gotten

together to hire a private investigator, but nothing conclusive was ever found.

Everybody wanted answers, of course, but there was absolutely nothing to go on.

All they could do was mourn and hope and wait for any further evidence to emerge.

A final search was conducted in September of 99, and again, no trace of any evidence of Joe was found.

After the final search, Joe Wood was listed as the 65th person to go missing on Mount Rainier without

being found. As of April 8, 2021, Joe remains missing and there have been no further updates.

10. Tom Simonceth

66-year-old Tom Simonceth was last seen on May 22, 2021, in North Cascades National Park,

located in Cedrow, Woolie, Scadget County, Washington. According to friends and family, Tom left

on the morning of May 22, telling his wife that he would be hiking up the head in Lake Teril.

However, by 7pm, Tom still had to arrive home, and Tom's wife rose,

holding the help of a friend, Mike Woodmancy, to help look for him.

Tom had taken up hiking in the past 18 months, and it had quickly become his new retirement hobby,

according to those closest to him. He often hiked with Mike Woodmancy and another close friend,

Mark Nelson. Tom had been invited to hike with Mike and Mark on the weekend that he disappeared,

but he had declined, opting to go alone. When Tom had returned home, Rose contacted Mike to

go up onto the trail and see if he could spot him, thinking he may have gotten lost or injured.

However, as the hours passed and the darkness drew in, Mike knew that Tom's chances of survival

were slim. He told Fox 13, he was absolutely not prepared to be out overnight. He just had

day hiking equipment, so that's why we had to jump on it and get out there. Between 10pm and 12

midnight, Mike and Mark scoured the hidden lake trail and found no sign of Tom. They slept on

the ground and resumed their search at 4am. As the morning sunlight slowly crept through the trees,

they knew that they needed help, and the Scadget County Sheriff's Office were called,

and Tom was officially reported missing. The Scadget County Sheriff's Office, accompanied by a

Scadget County search and rescue, searched for Tom until May 31, 2021, when the search was

officially called off due to treacherous terrain and avalanche danger. Despite this, Tom's family

still haven't given up hope and have set up a GoFundMe page to help the search continue.

Number 9, Adrian Alonzo-Smith

49-year-old Adrian Alonzo-Smith was last seen on January 9, 2021. After a friend dropped

him off into Drift Creek Falls Trailhead and see a small National Forest organ.

A friend who dropped him off said that Adrian had a backpack on a hammock and planned to hike to

other locations and stay overnight in the park. On January 20, 2021, Adrian did not show up for

a Scadget pickup, and that's when his friends and family began to worry. Adrian was reported missing

and search and rescue teams were dispatched to the trail but found no sign of him during the

initial investigation. Two weeks later, authorities discovered what they believed to be his campsite,

however, no other personal items were recovered from the scene. Despite the use of drones,

sniffer dogs, and cell phone tracking, authorities have been unable to find any trace of Adrian.

One disturbing tip came into search and rescue teams in the days following Adrian's disappearance.

One witness claimed they've seen Adrian shirtless in the cold in the days after he'd gone missing,

creating a very worrying scenario for friends and family. The search was temporarily called off

at the end of January due to heavy snowfall and bad weather. Adrian is described as a white male,

six foot tall, and 170 pounds with brown shoulder length hair and multiple tattoos,

including a tattoo of wings on his back. Authorities are asking for anyone with information to contact

him on 541-270-3400 or 541-265-0777.

Number 8 Josh Hall

27-year-old Josh Hall along with his dog Happy, a Labrador mix,

set off on February 3rd, 2021 for an 11-mile hike to the Devil's Thumb Lake area in the Indian

Peaks Wilderness Park. Josh left his car at the Hessie Trailhead, set off between 1030 AM and 1045 AM

on the morning of February 3rd. The hike should have taken Josh around 5.5 to 6 hours,

meaning that he would have arrived back at his car at around 4 p.m., according to his mother.

His mother also told authorities that Josh had chosen to hike early in the morning as he had an

online class at 5 p.m., and when he didn't return home, she contacted the authorities.

According to his mother, Josh's phone pinged at 12.03 p.m. and in the approximate area of Devil's Thumb

Lake. From 12.30 p.m. to 1.15 p.m., hikers in the area reported that a small snowstorm blew through,

leaving inches of snow on the trails within a matter of minutes.

It's believed that Josh was deep into the trail when there's no roll dead.

Authorities were contacted and a team of 70 people made up of law enforcement and experienced

hikers raved the cold to search for Josh, battling their way through 40 mile per hour winds.

For four days, volunteers with law enforcement searched high and low for any sign of Josh,

but on the fourth day, the search was called off due to the worsening weather conditions.

Miraculously, eight days later on February 11th, 2021, Josh's dog happy was spotted on the

side of a highway close to where the two had been hiking. Happy was malnourished and scared,

but authorities were able to rescue him and take him home to Josh's family.

Sadly, nothing else has been recovered, but Josh's family are not giving up hope.

Josh has described as a white male six foot four inches tall and weighs 200 pounds.

He was last seen wearing a green khaki jacket, dark hat, and a gray green backpack.

If you have any information, you're asked to contact the Boulder County Dispatch on 303-441-444.

Number seven, Cassie Sheets.

On March 12th, 2021, 24-year-old Cassie Sheets was reported missing after last being seen hiking

in the Managa Hala National Forest in West Virginia. Cassie, along with two male friends,

had begun their hike on Thursday at March 11th, with the two friends claiming that they were

separated along the Spruce Trail. Sergeant Andrew Teter, of the West Virginia State Police,

told Metro NEWS, they started down the Huckleberry Trail in the top of Spruce,

and that's where they claimed they got separated from each other.

The trio set off hiking on Thursday night into what is described as a remote part of the forest.

After the trio became separated, the two friends made their way back to safety and waiting

until Friday morning to report Cassie missing. Search teams including volunteer firefighters

in the West Virginia State Police use the helicopter and attempts to locate the missing 24-year-old girl.

However, nothing was found. In June 2021, the State Police made a statement saying that they

were no longer actively searching for Cassie, but were following lines of inquiry.

In their statement, they also said that they are not speaking with the two male friends who were

with Cassie on that hike, as one of them has obtained a lawyer. They also stressed that all

leads are based on speculation, and they have no concrete evidence in Cassie's case. Cassie did

not know the trail well, and her family are concerned about her well-being. If you have any

information, you're asked to contact the West Virginia State Police.

Number six, Cayman Welch. The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office is appealing for any information

about the disappearance of 25-year-old Cayman Welch. Cayman was last seen near Weaver's Needle Vista

at Milepost 203 in State Route 88 in Maricopa County, Arizona on August 12, 2020.

Cayman has spent the date working with his uncle and tortilla flats, and on the drive home,

they decided to pull into Weaver's Needle Vista to watch the sunset together.

According to Cayman's uncle, he told him he wanted to watch the sunset from the needle.

He proceeded to get out of the car, walk into the Tonto National Forest, and promptly disappeared.

Tonto National Forest spans a whopping 2,873,200 acres, and is the fifth largest

national forest in the United States. The forest offers a wide variety of scenery from desert flats

to pine forests, making it the perfect destination no matter what you're looking for.

Cayman walked into the Tonto National Forest, wearing nothing but a black Ghostbusters T-shirt,

black jeans, black prescription glasses, and army boots. He didn't take any food or water with him,

and he was in no way equipped to deal with the sweltering temperatures

that reached approximately 110 degrees in the area that day.

When Cayman didn't return home, his family reported him missing, and an investigation was quickly

launched. Despite searches using sniffer dogs, horses, drones, helicopters, and countless volunteers,

no sign of Cayman was found. Cayman's family were also worried for his well-being as he

suffered from depression and was in the process of seeking help. Cayman is described as a white

male with brown hair and hazel eyes. He is 6-foot tall, 200 pounds, and has full-sleeved tattoos

while visiting the Nip Millock National Park in the Northern Territory, Australia. On that day,

Damon went for a walk alone in the National Park and was never seen again, prompting 28 police

officers, parkraisers and countless volunteers to begin the search for him. Damon set off on his walk

with nothing but his phone and his car keys, with Superintendent Shane telling the Daily Mail,

he doesn't have his wallet, we have that. We know he doesn't have his hotel key, we've got that

2021 by another hiker who told police that he saw a man fitting Sean's description in the park.

Sean had recently moved from his home in Dublin, Ireland to Jackson, Wyoming, and was working to

help support his adventures. Sean's last moments are contested and accounts differ.

An article written by The Irish Times wrote that the witness last saw Sean near the surprise

leg junction heading into Garnet Canyon. Whereas another article written by the independent

claims the witness last saw Sean on the south side of the Bradley Taggerat Marine and that he

was headed towards Taggerat Line. Sean was officially reported missing on June 12 after he

failed to turn up for his scheduled shift as a snowboard instructor on June 10, 2021, and a full

investigation was launched. A day later, his car was found abandoned near the Lupine Metta's

Trailhead. Our crangers and investigators pulled together their resources to widen their search.

A GoFundMe campaign was set up two days after his disappearance to help fly his mother,

Granya, from Dublin to Jackson. This campaign raised over 46,000 euro, and Sean's mother

was flown to Jackson on June 20 to aid in the search for a sign.

Berkajostad, the Acting Chief Ranger of Grand Teton National Park, told Irish Central,

mental health has not been a feature of the profile that we developed to try to understand

where he might be. This looked like an afternoon, simple walk in the park.

We're trying to keep a really open mind about where he might have gone,

so we're looking in all the possible places.

Sean McLaughlin was last seen wearing a white shirt, shorts, and a hat,

as described as a male solo hiker with shoulder-length hair,

and he was also wearing round glasses. Despite searching over 300,000 acres of

Grand Teton Park, no sign of Sean McLaughlin has been found. If you have any information,

Number 9, Tatum Morrell. 23-year-old Tatum Morrell, a Montana State University graduate,

last made contact with their family on July 1, 2021 via a satellite communicator,

according to KTVQ. Tatum, affectionately known to her family as Tate,

had set up camp at Shutter Lake close to the West Fort Trial near Red Lodge in the

Custer-Galatin National Forest in Montana. The Custer-Galatin National Forest boasts an

area of over 3 million acres and seven ranger districts. According to the website,

the forest has gateways to Yellowstone National Park and has activities for everyone to enjoy.

Searchers believe that Tatum left her tent on the morning of July 2, 2021,

and was planning on scaling a 12,000-foot peak that day.

Once you fail to return and hat and make contact with their family by July 5, 2021,

they call Park Rangers and officially report their missing.

During their investigation, authorities found that Tatum had planned to scale five mountain peaks

during a trip. Tatum's family told newspapers that she was indeed an avid hiker and outdoors

woman and had been training her whole life to scale these peaks. In a statement they also added,

Tatum was a fiercely independent, adventurous soul who loved the mountains. Searching rescue

teams were dispatched on July 5, 2021, however, so far, no sign of Tatum has been found.

Incident commander Tom Coons believes that Tatum is no longer alive, telling reporters,

unfortunately, there are hundreds of thousands of places that Tatum could have gotten into trouble

on these rugged mountains when the storms came into the area on Friday. After the extensive search

efforts, we do not believe she survived. The search for Tatum Morell will continue with a much

smaller scaleback team. Number 8 Ralph Elliott

51-year-old Ralph Elliott was last seen on April 22, 2021, after he left for a day hike in

Yosemite National Park, California. Sadly, there is very little information about Ralph's case,

but his story is still important and it is important that we keep his case alive.

According to the Fresno B news paper, Ralph was intending to hike to the Yosemite fall overlook

at Eagle Peak in the Yosemite National Park. Authorities are concerned for his well-being,

and the Park Service are noted as saying that they believe he may be in a state of emotional

distress and capable of harming himself. The Yosemite Park Service has declined to comment on

why they believe that Ralph is in such a state of emotional distress, but they have asked anyone

who comes into contact with him to bear this in mind. Ralph Elliott is described as a white male

with a muscular build, five foot eight inches tall, with blue eyes, a beard, and long gray air.

He was last seen wearing earth tone clothing, and if you have any information,

Tucson, Arizona. Charles had been staying there ahead of his trip to the Grand Canyon and has

not been seen since. Newspapers report that Charles is from Tyler, Texas, and was making the trip

to the Grand Canyon alone. Authorities are becoming increasingly concerned for his well-being.

The Grand Canyon National Park, located in Arizona, has an area of 4,926 kilometers squared,

has over 2 million visitors per year. Most tourists visit the sprawling National Park to take a

look at the Grand Canyon, 1.6 kilometer deep and 26 kilometer mile wide geographic feature.

eyes. Any one of the information is asked to contact the Grand Canyon Rangers on 888-653-009.

6. Sean Higgins

On October 14, 2016, Sean Higgins, along with his 21-year-old son Trevor and

Travel's uncle, no name was provided for the uncle, headed out to the Shasta Costa Drainage

in the Bear Camp area in Oregon for Dave Hunting. The three men had no idea the tragedy,

that was about to unfold them that day, and to them it started out just like any other hunting

trip they had been on. Sean and Trevor agreed to go their separate ways and meet back at the

car later on in the day to discuss today's activities, and to collect Trevor's uncle,

again this is Sean's brother, his name was never given in their reports.

The men parted ways, not knowing it would be the last time they would ever see Sean alive.

Sean's wife, Stephanie, told NBC News, Sean was on a footpath that ran alongside a road.

He's an outdoorsman who knew the area, and he knew Trevor was waiting for him.

It doesn't make any sense that he didn't make it out that evening.

On the day of his disappearance, Sean had left his backpack and GPS device behind as he was

only hunting a short distance away from the car. As we said, Sean was a very experienced

outdoorsman and knew the area well, according to his family. In his mind, there was no reason to take

it. When Sean failed to return to the truck, Trevor and Trevor's uncle knew that something was

very, very wrong. They split up and immediately began searching for him. However, during this search,

Trevor also got lost. Sean had passed down his wealth of knowledge to his son, and Trevor was

able to make a shelter and wait out tonight. Sean's brother, Trevor's uncle, raised the alarm

after Trevor also failed to return to the truck. Now, with two missing family members,

he called the authorities and a wide-scale search began. Thankfully, on the fourth day of the

search and rescue operation, Trevor was found to have miles away. Trevor had suffered severe

hypothermia due to cold and wet conditions, but was otherwise okay. Sadly, neither Trevor nor

the search and rescue teams found any sign of Sean. Crews utilized drones, helicopters and dog

units, but still they found nothing. In October 25th, the search had officially been suspended.

As of this riding in 2021, Sean Higgins is still missing, and authorities are no closer to solving the

case. Number five, Dalyne Pula. 18-year-old Dalyne Pula was lasting on February 27th, 2015.

After he had set out to hike the high co-stairs, also known as the stairway to heaven, Y&A Hawaii.

The high co-stairs are one of Hawaii's most dangerous trails. Some of the steps have been heavily

damaged by winds and rain, and it is not a trail that's recommended for first-time hikers.

The trail has been officially closed since 1987, with the Hawaiian Police Department handing out

flying some up to $1,000 to trespassers. However, this has done little to deter trail sickers.

Even in 2021, people are still attempting to make the hike despite several warnings from the

Hawaiian PD and the Hawaiian government. At the time of his disappearance, Dalyne was visiting his

grandma and had told her about his intentions to climb the stairs. His grandma warned him that the

trail was closed, and then he would be met with police officers waiting to find or rest him.
