This story gave me chills. This almost happened to my brother. We live in Montana. We always go camping in the bob marshal and hidden lakes. One day camping we are playing tag/hide and seek. My brother was Dennis age, small stature, 7yrs old…my brother was “hiding” for hide and seek. I am the oldest, I was 13 at the time. I kept my eye on him and watched where he went and hide. My mom and aunt were also watching closely. He was only 30-50ft from the campsite where we all were. I was “finding” all the kids, saving him for last since I knew exactly where he was- there’s a song we sing in the family out in the woods to help find each other. One person sings loudly the first part and you answer singing the second part. I was singing this and they were all responding as I was finding them. I went to walk towards my brothers spot. He wasn’t answering the song. I had this overwhelming sense that something was wrong so I just immediately starting sprinting towards his spot he was hiding at. I got there calling his name and he wasn’t there! I immediately screamed for my mom and dad yelling dante was gone and I can’t find him. I’ve never seen my parents run so fast. Everyone immediately started yelling for him. We were searching everywhere. My aunt ran up the road to another camp site asking for them to go call the police. I heard a faint cry and just starting sprinting towards the noise. I found him. Almost a half a mile from the campsite lost and scared and crying hiding under a bush. He was too scared to call out and was shaking and terrified. He wondered too far and got scared that a bear would hear him so he hide and stayed quiet. He only cried out once and thankfully I heard it. It was and still is the scariest day in our entire lives. My brother doenst go camping anymore, but I don’t blame him.
Not to make light of the situation ...but at least it was legit wandering and not some other distubing circumstance...l have a son about to be 5...l am waiting for him to be older because this is a huge fear....l amnglad to hear your brother was found 💗💗💗💗💗
I wish this was a call-in show. I grew up there and, as a kid, we were warned of the "other people" and there are many stories of missing people. There is a system of caves in the mountains.
Omg I’d love to hear more! This is so interesting and creepy at the same time. I’ve lived in Knoxville for 10 years and have never heard of the “other people”.
Kendall is just straight flawless. She could be wearing a trash bag and she’d still rock the shit out of it. She’s just stunning. So happy that you’re feeling better. ❤️ If you two ever need advice on the packaging aspect- I’m in MI, so I can’t directly sell to you but I’m in the packaging/design/shipping field if you want an outside input on anything!
Me and my besties used to go minicamping when we were teens, it was a bit away from either of our houses but it was still far enough to feel exciting and fun. Now when I'm older I see how dangerous it COULD'VE been even in a small village.....it just takes one crazy psycho....
One of my good friends is an Oklahoma FBI agent….there was a guy who murdered a couple “just to do it and rob them” ….they were camping. He had made “friends” with them the night before and the next day slaughtered them with his AR from afar. That stuff makes me so standoffish.
Just talked to my grandma about this case, her and my grandpa grew up in Knoxville and were 15 and 17 when Dennis disappeared. Her dad was with the Knoxville Police Department and she remembers how long they spent looking for him. She said he never got over the fact that they never found them and it hit him pretty hard.
In June, 1969 I was 16 and working a summer job near Knoxville. My boss knew people planning to search the next morning and asked if I would go with him. My family had camped in the Smokey Mountains and I was familiar with Cades Cove and the area where Martin had vanished. We arrived at the park early the next morning (Sunday). The Knoxville News-Sentinal covered the story that morning which resulted in hundreds of volunteers, far too many to manage. My boss & I were assigned to a team led by a park official and 6-8 of us cut through underbrush, briars and rough terrain until dark. What most people don’t understand is just how thick and impenetrable most of the search area was. A 6 year old boy, developmentally challenged or not could not have done more than walk on a trail or in the open field. There was a rest area with restrooms as I recall and the Martins had stopped there. Dennis & his brother had decided to walk around the small structure, pass one another behind it and appear on the side opposite where they began. The brother (10) emerged but Dennis did not. Within 5 minutes the father & grandfather raised the alert and everyone around the rest area began to call out and search. The father hiked back to alert the park rangers and by sundown there were 25-30 persons searching every possible area where a 6 year old might hide. Again, most ways out were impassable for such a small child. I left the following afternoon (Monday) in total disbelief. For 55 years the Martin case has bothered me because of the implausibility of a six year old with only a five minute head start completely disappearing. Tracking dogs, Green Berets, FBI, hundreds of men on foot covering 25 square miles and not even the slightest trace? The whispers by the end of the first week focused on the father & grandfather. Police in Knoxville later were reported to have had the Martin’s back yard searched and dug up. (No trace) To me it was cruel. A family colluding to harm their six year old son? No. I don’t accept it. The most likely answer is that he was taken. But if the search began as quickly as is believed, it’s not credible that someone reached his car carrying a silent child. The only thing that makes sense is a longer delay to begin the search, allowing a culprit to put distance between himself & the family. Frankly, none of the theories is convincing. (The father told searchers that Dennis “might not answer” if his name was called out. We assumed there were issues with the child but at the time no one questioned)
I wondered off as a kid because I was mad about something stupid when we were all camping near the beach. I ended up getting lost along a trail and a group of teen boys found me. I was probably 6/7 at the time and they stayed with me until we found the search and rescue party that was looking for me. If it weren’t for them I don’t know if I would have found my way back.
Since finding you guys a month ago, I’ve listened to a 1-2 podcasts a day - the drive to and from work (keeping me awake after 10-12 hour shift in the ED) the morning chores (milking goats and feeding all the livestock) and then falling asleep 💚 thank you for what you do!
@@janeillebraswell2519 I do :) it’s about a 30 minute drive home, then it’s straight out to milk goats, feed the chickens, ducks, goats and pigs and check the garden - hubby takes care of our six dogs and the cats. Usually takes about an hour and a half to finish up all the morning chores, shower, and crawl into bed to do it all over again lol. I do have the goats on a 24 hour milk schedule, so at least I only have to do that once a day and can sleep a little longer. Gotta have something outside of work to maintain sanity, as I’m sure you know well!
My first thought is that Dennis did not disappear in the mysterious way the father described. Not saying anything bad about the parents but it would seem more likely that Dennis disappeared while unsupervised, the parents may not have wanted to admit or look negligent.
I don't think any parent or sibling could keep that secret for so many years. Or to have the others complicit in it too, they're story would have had many more holes in it and where would they have hid his body from all the searchers?
@@highlandgirl84 she is not suggesting the parents killed him, not at all. She is saying there were more than a few minutes period when the parents lost him out of their site. It’s my theory, too, that it was 10-15 minutes he was playing and was out of site of his parents or others who were there, they just didn’t want to admit that.
I don’t believe it tbh, because if it was actually 10-15 minutes that would’ve changed everything and he would’ve had more time to get lost meaning he would’ve gone somewhere completely different. Why would they want to risk fucking up the situation and the possible chance of not finding him. There could be a possibility, sure… but I highly doubt it. And a small child when hiding would probably explore and try and find the best place possible to hide so he probably got so lost and tried to find his way back but took a completely different path. Then the theory goes to either him going completely lost or someone that had been watching him jump at the chance to kidnap him. May he rest in peace and May his parents and family get to see him again one day❤️
You guys should cover the disappearance of my senior year Math teacher Mathew Greene. He went rock climbing in the Sierra Mountains in 2013 and hasn't been seen since.
Please do an episode on feral humans! I just was wondering the other day if that’s real or just some archetypal myth, so y’all mentioning it is so timely!
@@spencerrosehayes867 I want to look it up but I'm scared. Ever since I saw that Oxana girl, raised by dogs, the video of her snarling and barking and running on 4 legs, I'm too afraid. So I want to look it up, but not if it's too scary.
@@calliew311 that video scared me too. But genie is not scary. She was a severely abused girl who was strapped to a potty and her cot in the dark for years, her dad abused her mother and didn’t allow any human contact so she didn’t develop as human kids should get to, she had to learn to talk and walk properly but is pretty much the only example science and psychology will have of a child left completely devoid of love/attention due to the terribly unethical nature of a deliberate experiment. Maybe look up her Wikipedia but there are a few very short clips of her. Her walk is “funny” as she was sitting or lying for about 7 1/2 years of her life or something.
Missing 411 is so interesting! My family and I actually stayed in a cabin this past weekend And I think I’m a lot more aware and cautious of my surroundings. We had a weird experience out there while exploring the woods, we got very scared! I’m glad to be back at home!
Since the kids where playing a trick on the adults. I wonder if he wanted to play another trick on the adults and the other kids by hiding. I wonder if he wondered deeper into the woods to hide from them and got lost. Then something happened.
I was born a raised in the town right next to the Nantahala National Forest and as a child I was told all about this disappearance. And not to diminish what happened here at all but we were always told not to venture out alone into the forest. My grandfather once said "strange things happen in these hills, don't ever answer a call of your name, don't ever play by yourself and don't go out into the shadows at night." This case is so sad and I can't imagine not knowing what happened to my child
So glad you’re feeling better Kendall! I also have a chronic illness and you really helped me when I was diagnosed. Thank you for being open and honest 💕
his story scares me so much. i live in the bush in northern canada and i literally think about this story almost every time im out with my daughter. forests so scary af
Wasn’t there a story David Paulides did in his documentary about a little girl who got lost in the woods and was found saying a “bear” carried her and kept her safe?
Missing persons cases really get me. The not knowing is really bothersome to my spirit. I’ve lost sleep over some of these missing 411 cases, they are so mysteriously fascinating! I would love to see you guys cover more of these 🌲🖤🌲
When I was 9 my family went on a camping trip to a campsite we always went to. One night after washing up and biking to our site my older sister and I were approached by a 40-50yo man. We obviously didn’t stop and just went to our parents. We were sitting around the fire eating dinner and we heard something off in the bushes. Our dad went to check it out, came back and told us to go to bed so they could go scare of the raccoon. Years later they told us it was that guy, he followed us back to our site that night. Still gives me goosebumps.
I want to see something on feral humans! The Native Americans have a long history with wild men. You could go to almost any area in the US, and the Native American tribes in the area will have their own name for the wild man.
The feral human theory is interesting to take into consideration & very possible as well. This reminds me of the American Horror Stories episode of feral ppl. Pretty scary to think about
@@stephd6957 maybe they drew inspiration from this case,idk but the episode is sooo similar to the case. & in the episode the little boy was abducted while he wondered off not too far from his dad. Then later on in the episode the parents years later find a lead in what happened to their son the son was now the leader of all the feral ppl it was a trip & scary bc they literally had their own language😳😳😳
I think that this is where they got the idea for the episode from. They are known for using real people/situations for shows so I wouldn't be surprised.
After living near the GSM my entire life and visiting Cades Cove every other weekend, I can definitely say that I believe this boy was taken by someone who lives in those woods and never comes out of those woods. We’ve been told since we were young about people who live “off grid” and no one knows about them. The Gatlinburg fires had hundreds more victims than were reported, according to firefighters in the mountains. So honestly I’d always have a weapon with me and another person because the Smokies are dangerous, alone or in a group. So glad you guys finally posted about my City and State!! ❤️
There are most definitely cannibals in the smoky mountains. I have family that live in Sevierville and there’s always been rumors. Please be careful when you go into those woods and protect yourself the best you can !
I have an almost 20 month old and almost 38wks pregnant... I think I'd honestly die if one of my kids went missing. I couldn't imagine the helplessness that they felt/feel. I don't care... if we bring our kids hiking, I'm putting those harness thingies on them. Especially with all these missing cases in the woods...
The harnesses aren't a bad idea! My 5 year old is autistic, and will run off without thinking twice. The issue is; she's nonverbal and doesn't understand how to call for help. I've gotten alot of weird looks, and judgy people making comments, but i don't care. Just want to keep my child safe, so she wears a harness/leash.
@@sagekeebaugh2397 my child is also non verbal autistic and we have used a backpack harness anytime we are hiking or walking. My son has no sense of danger and it keeps him safe. They have the cutest backpack harnesses and I think thats why my son doesn't mind his "pack back"
@@mylittlesuperhero581 I've seen those backpack harnesses before, they're adorable! It's weird to me that there's this stigma almost, about kids having a leash/harness. It's about keeping kids safe, and it is more difficult to do, when they're on the spectrum, special needs, etc. Go you, for being an awesome parent ☺️
I cannot imagine. Just knowing your baby is out there somewhere alone and scared would be enough to make me dedicate the rest of my life to finding them. 💔💔💔
These missing cases connected to the national parks are so intriguing. Any unsolved case leaves me wondering what truly happened but when I hear these Missing 411 cases I think even deeper because the areas are so large that literally anything could have happened. Thank you Kendall and Josh for staying consistent. I look forward to Wednesdays every week. It's my "me time" to delve into your show while enjoying coffee and a blunt. Love you guys. 😊❤💯
I live about 20 mins from Cades Cove so this story is very familiar to me. Everyone in the area have always assumed he was possibly attacked by a bear or wild animal. I always wondered if he was abducted since they never found his body. Thank you guys for doing a story so close to home!
I'm so stressed today! Really happy to be shifting my stress - focusing my attention to podcasts that I love instead of giving into a bad day. This came out at a perfect time for me! Thanks
I’m from Bristol Tennessee and the wildmen / mountain men are real. I heard about them all the time growing up, and having explored the Cherokee national forest and the smoky mountains frequently over the years…. They are kinda creepy, and the perfect place to hide from the rest of the world.
This reminds me of an American Horror Stories episode that recently came out! The son ran a little ahead of his dad and hid behind a bush while playing hide-n-seek. The dad never took his eyes off of his son, and then the son was just gone. It’s crazy!
Cades Cove is known for bears. But since hundreds of people searched for Dennis and didn’t find evidence, and the report of the strange man running makes me lean towards abduction.
Hi I think the case of Trenny Gibson would be a good case to look into she went missing in Smokey Mountains National Park during a class trip in 1978! Very strange circumstances.
This reminds me a bit of the Wells Gray Provincial Park murders that took place near my home in BC Canada. The idea of someone watching you while your camping scares the daylights out of me.
I could have very easily gone missing in the woods when I was about 4. We were camping near Strawberry Reservoir when I was about 4. I was going on a nature walk with my dad and grandpa; they were a very short distance ahead talking, and I was behind them and off to the side probably further than I should have been looking at flowers and butterflies. As I was walking, I stepped into a large hole that was concealed by the tall grass; I have no idea how deep it was because I managed to grab onto the lip of the hole, but even with my little arms extended fully, my feet never hit the bottom. There was muddy water up to my waist at the very least, but again, I was holding onto the lip of the hole for dear life and never found out how deep the hole actually was, so it could have been well over my head if I hadn't managed to stop myself from plunging in fully, and I couldn't swim at all at that age. I screamed for help, but it took my dad and grandpa a bit of time to actually find me because of the tall grass. If I hadn't caught myself, I might not have even gotten the chance to scream. I probably would have been dead before they could have found the hole, IF they ever found the hole at all. Honestly, if I hadn't been able to keep screaming to lead them to me, I don't know if they would have found the hole because of how concealed it was. Maybe Dennis wandered off and fell in a hole?
Good to see you back and feeling better, Kendall! This episode was super interesting. Love the idea of a feral people episode. It’s soooooo crazy to think about. National parks freak me out now lol
As a kid, my family would take trips to The Smokies and visit Cade’s Cove. We would have picnics and I have so many great memories with my grandparents there. I have never heard of this case. I see how someone could easily get lost in this area, though I think it was something more sinister 🥴. Love you guys! 💜
Definitely a yes for a feral humans episode! What’s crazy about this case is nothing, absolutely nothing was found from Dennis. The human remains that were found but went unreported too late make me think they could have been his remains but now they’ll likely never be found. Dennis was a small, young child. His bones and remains would’ve been minuscule compared to an adult human and easily missed. So sad overall. I’m not a parent, but I literally cannot imagine their grief and survivor’s guilt. Thanks for another tactful and informative episode, guys. Peace and love 💕
My little brother loved hiding as a toddler, so we would lose track of him many times (at stores hiding behind clothes, or wandering off to hide). Each time it was terrifying but we always found him within about 10 mins. I can’t imagine how this boys family felt, just a fraction of what they went through was very scary.
This!Kids are quick. I made Burlington lock down the store once cause he just disappeared. I found him not long after but it was intense. I can not imagine never finding him. Heartbreaking
Before even watching this, the smoky mountains was one of my favorite vacations I’ve ever taken. It’s truly beautiful up there and since visiting I’ve heard of a couple missing peoples cases from there..
I don't believe the timeline of his disappearance. Family members sometimes honestly remember it wrong - "I was just looking at him and then I turned around and he was gone" - when in reality they last seen him 2 hours ago. Sometimes they lie on purpose, because they think they might get in trouble for not looking after the kid properly. I'm afraid the later might be the case here. There seems to be too much emphasis on how close the kids were watched. "They were hiding in the woods, but we were watching them all the time, Dennis hid in a different spot, because his shirt was too bright, etc." The story seems manufactured. And then the search was so massive that it was too late to tell the truth. As to what happened to the boy - apparently there are a lot of disused mine shafts in the area, he could fall down into one or wander into it and get lost. Another theory is that he crawled into some small space to hide from the heavy rain and eventually died there and it's impossible to look into every little cave. A year ago a 5-year-old boy disappeared not far from where I live. He went into the woods with his dad and his grandma, they were supposedly watching him and then he vanished. He was found alive, there is a happy ending, but also the truth about his disappearance came out. He got tired of walking through the woods and the adults just told him to go back to the car. Just a mile or two, what could happen, right?
@@Thetherapeuticdiaries if that was true then where is the remains? The didn’t hid it so well that a search party couldn’t find it and if they carried it out of the park and lied about it someone would’ve seen them leaving with or without the body. And also I did it unlikely that distant members of the family would’ve been complicit in the cover up. The other Martin who was there was by some accounts not even related to them, at best a distant cousin.
@@gaiusleviathan8110 That's what I'm saying. I don't believe that the children were watched that close. They might've noticed that he's missing when the other kids pranked them, but I don't believe that they actually watched the whole process of the prank, him going into a different bush, etc. They probably didn't think that he was never gonna be found, so they told the story in a way to cover the negligence, to not get in trouble when he's found. The kid wandered off a lot earlier. The sequence of events - kids talking about the prank where the adults can hear and watch them; Dennis choosing a different bush, because of his shirt; the abductor sitting right in that bush with chloroform - is just unbelievably coincidental. The kids were so silly that they didn't notice the adults listening, but savvy enough to figure out that the shirt might be seen from the bush.
I found Kendall's channel a few months ago and got hooked. I've been making my way through all 4 of your channels, binge watching your videos and I love it! I made my first purchase from Higher Love Wellness a few weeks ago and just made my first purchase of your merch last night. I've watched many creators over the years and have never purchased any merch from them, but I absolutely love you all that I had to buy some of yours. As I'm watching your older videos I'm coming across old merch that is no longer available and I'm mad I didn't find you guys earlier, but can't wait for new merch to drop! I'll be the first one there, love you all!
I just moved to Knoxville July 14th & cades cove is the first place I took my son's in the mountains here. They've got a scenic loop you can drive to see the wildlife. It's crazy you're covering this case. It was my son's first time & we saw a baby bear !
Did they ever wonder if possibly an accident happened and the family maybe covered it up with this story? No disrespect, just curious if it was ever looked into.
It just seems impossible to me that he would disappear and get lost when his parents were so close and noticed he was gone relatively quick. They started looking for him instantly
Last week when you announced you were taking a break from your videos due to your Chronic Health Flare Up I really appreciated your announcement. Some people do not understand how shitty and debilitating chronic illnesses can be and I love that you normalize it. Although I am sorry you had a flare up and had to deal with that, but I'm glad you're feeling better! Ironically my chronic illness flared up this week and I ended up in the hospital. I felt stressed that I was missing work but I remembered your post & I realized I just needed to focus on feeling better and resting. Anyway long comment. Just saying thank you.
A few times my boyfriend and I have gone camping and he's willingly made friends with other campers "just traveling through" and I always have in thr back of my head, these random strangers are gonna kill us lol
New fear, unlocked. I've never heard of the wild men until now. I've always said that I wish I could just go live in a forest somewhere, away from people. Not anymore. I'm good where I'm at. 😳
Hello, I believe in the man theory, that a mountain man got him and covered his mouth and dragged him away. Of course the government with all the experiments. It’s very sad for the family. It’s not right that they never got closure about their son all these years. Still remains a mystery, hope it get solved someday.
Y’all should definitely come to TN. It’s gorgeous, especially when the leaves start changing 🍁😍 We go there often, I will definitely think of Cades Cove differently from now on 😢
How am I JUST NOW hearing this story? I live 30 minutes from Cades Cove. It's honestly not surprising though, our national park is big and very dense, and there's a definite energy here. People dissappear from the AT all the time in our section. Also, I'm obsessed with y'alls podcast, I listen to 2 a day at work. You're so good at what you do, thank you for making such amazing content!
Kendall looks especially pretty today! Also, this is terrifying to hear about - I've had vacations in this area lots of times and never heard about it!
Omg this is so weird! Literally last week I was looking into a missing 411 case near me and I was thinking "I wish that mile higher would cover more of these" missing 411 is crazy undercovered and I would love to hear about as many of these cases as u guys want to cover! So exited to hear your take on whatever is going on out there. You guys are awesome!
I Googled feral humans and hope you will do an episode on that topic! I don't have time to dive into all these interesting stories, so a mile higher episode on it would be so perfect!! Thanks for another great episode today. You all rock
The feral human thing reminds me of the Wrong Turn horror movies , also The Hills have Eyes. Please do the episode on that! I'd be so interested! Where I live is surrounded by tall hills, I can see over to them from my bedroom window. In the late evenings I always see lights up there in the middle of nowhere... always wonder if anyone feral is living in those hills, gives me the creeps to think.
This is such a sad but interesting story. I would love an episode about feral humans. It would also be great if you could talk about Bryce Laspisa. I know Kendall covered his case a few years ago but he's been missing 8 years as of August 30th. If he's still alive he could be anywhere.
I live in the Oak Ridge/Knoxville area and have always heard of the wild people that live in the Smokies. Apparently they came from the families that were supposed to be moved out of several areas, such as when they built certain dames or made national parks. Its pretty interesting when you dig into it. Edit: American Horror Stories did an episode on this subject.
I wonder if possibly someone was watching them the entire time. The noises of the children playing could have "potentially" lured the predator to their location. Once their, the person saw the child and began watching him, being the smallest and having the red color shirt on making him stand out even more. Once Dennis went into hiding the person followed and abducted him being that everyone else was distracted. I pray 🙏 one day this case will be solved, so heartbreaking, not knowing.💔
I love how generous and unselfish you are! Imagine-A business passing on savings to customers instead of just pocketing that extra cash! I’m a huge fan of CBD and I love your products and appreciate your dedication and passion to providing such high-quality CBD. Love you guys!😘💋
I just wanted to say that you both are amazing. When you started taking on the packing and shipping and costs went down, you easily could have just kept the profit. Instead you lowered the prices. Mad respect. I was already a loyal customer, but this really locks it in
Annnnd my last comment for engagement 🤣 I'm going to make jewelry while I listen to Dennis's story. Thanks for everything y'all do, Mile Higher crew!!!
This case is nuts! I'm currently section hiking the Appalachian Trail and I stayed at the Russell Field shelter a month ago and had no idea about this disappearance. .
Id love to see an episode on feral humans! And great job on this episode, this case is so mysterious. You guys posted this with perfect timing for me during work! I’m able to listen to you guys while im at the office and my day is so much easier to get through so THANK YOU! :)
Perfect timing, per usual. I needed something to get me through this craptastic workday lol. BTW, Kendall, so so soo gorgeous this episode! (Always is, but those glasses and today's look is 🔥🔥🔥)
It's my birthday today and this is exactly what I needed!! Thank you for all your work you put into each and every video!! You all are appreciated more than you know!! ❤

Feral Humans episode PLEASEEEE i’ve literally never heard of that until right now
@@freelasagna The theory of feral humans or wild men came long before American Horror Story.
@@allyson2382 I remember watching a documentary about a boy raised by dogs years ago I still think about it
@@freelasagna has nothing to do with AHS... actually AHS basis THEIR show off of real life stories, killers efc
This story gave me chills. This almost happened to my brother. We live in Montana. We always go camping in the bob marshal and hidden lakes. One day camping we are playing tag/hide and seek. My brother was Dennis age, small stature, 7yrs old…my brother was “hiding” for hide and seek. I am the oldest, I was 13 at the time. I kept my eye on him and watched where he went and hide. My mom and aunt were also watching closely. He was only 30-50ft from the campsite where we all were. I was “finding” all the kids, saving him for last since I knew exactly where he was- there’s a song we sing in the family out in the woods to help find each other. One person sings loudly the first part and you answer singing the second part. I was singing this and they were all responding as I was finding them. I went to walk towards my brothers spot. He wasn’t answering the song. I had this overwhelming sense that something was wrong so I just immediately starting sprinting towards his spot he was hiding at. I got there calling his name and he wasn’t there! I immediately screamed for my mom and dad yelling dante was gone and I can’t find him. I’ve never seen my parents run so fast. Everyone immediately started yelling for him. We were searching everywhere. My aunt ran up the road to another camp site asking for them to go call the police. I heard a faint cry and just starting sprinting towards the noise. I found him. Almost a half a mile from the campsite lost and scared and crying hiding under a bush. He was too scared to call out and was shaking and terrified. He wondered too far and got scared that a bear would hear him so he hide and stayed quiet. He only cried out once and thankfully I heard it. It was and still is the scariest day in our entire lives. My brother doenst go camping anymore, but I don’t blame him.
Not to make light of the situation ...but at least it was legit wandering and not some other distubing circumstance...l have a son about to be 5...l am waiting for him to be older because this is a huge fear....l amnglad to hear your brother was found 💗💗💗💗💗
Damn how long were you counting for?
This had me all teared up. Thank goodness the story ended well
I'm glad you found him!! Thats scary!!
Terrifying - so glad it was ok
Oh yeah, pls do the feral humans episode. that should be fascinating.
Haha!
Theres a famous case of a luttke girl raised by wolves and I dont remember her name but her story is wild
Hell yeah that would be a very interesting video!
@@mikew1374 you should watch Misha and the Wolves. It's a newer documentary debunking her story.
Omg yes
Omg when they said “barefoot print” I was thinking “ bear foot print” for a good minute. I straight up pictured a boy walking with a bear 🤦♀️😂
I thought they meant a Bear also
Okay I am not the only one who thought that. 🤣🤣
same here 😭😭
Came here to say this! It makes sense in context lol
Me too i was so confused 😂
I wish this was a call-in show. I grew up there and, as a kid, we were warned of the "other people" and there are many stories of missing people. There is a system of caves in the mountains.
Omg I’d love to hear more! This is so interesting and creepy at the same time. I’ve lived in Knoxville for 10 years and have never heard of the “other people”.
What?! I’d also love to know more. I live in southern Indiana and frequently visit the Smokies
That's so interesting! Could you please share more?
😐
Wrong Turn
Omg I hope they see this comment!! I would love to hear more about this
So glad to have you guys back this week. Hope you continue to feel better Kendall ❤️
Thanks Jimmy!
Also, Kendall, I hope you continue to feel better too!
@@MileHigher Omg can y’all please do a video on Feral Humans? I’ve seen tons of other comments asking for it to!
Hey Jimmy! Wanted to say that I love your last name!! I tried commenting to you but it wouldn’t let me! So hope you see this!
@@MileHigher Damn Kendall ur thicker than a bowl of oatmeal 😍
Just dropped the kid at school, got my mile higher, coffee and smoke on a rainy day...perfection.

"The kid". ? Kids are baby goats. Baby humans are called "children".
@@WakeyWakeyEggsandBakey not ur kid not ur problem (:
@@WakeyWakeyEggsandBakey Welcome to planet Earth, where we also refer to human children as kids. I'm sure that can be confusing.
I'm sad that Dennis' father passed away without finding out what happened to him. 😢
Maybe now he knows.... if Dennis passed away hopefully they're reunited... Just a nice thought.
@@deirdresmith7314 Right. 😢
I wrote a song about this - ruclips.net/video/3MzkyjvzV84/видео.html

@@kylabella05 Thank you.
I can not even imagine watching your child go into a bush and never come back. This poor family. 🥺😢💔
Kendall is just straight flawless. She could be wearing a trash bag and she’d still rock the shit out of it. She’s just stunning.
So happy that you’re feeling better. ❤️

@@dopestdailydrivers2214 LOL. I wasn’t expecting that. Thank you! 🥰
I was legit just thinking that ! She's soooo pretty ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥺
Certainly easy on the eyes!
If his father started calling out just minutes after he went missing and the child didn't answer, chances are he was unable to for some reason.
Or he was too scared to.
Yeah .. brilliant deduction
@IndigoCave28 I wonder if they know you're being sardonic.
As someone who loves camping, never had the thought "hmm a serial killer could be in this campground". Thanks for the new paranoia, Josh!
hahahahahaha I though the same thing😂😂😂
Probably should of been a option if you're truly paranoid. I'd think. Any and everything comes to mind if you are.
Me and my besties used to go minicamping when we were teens, it was a bit away from either of our houses but it was still far enough to feel exciting and fun. Now when I'm older I see how dangerous it COULD'VE been even in a small village.....it just takes one crazy psycho....
One of my good friends is an Oklahoma FBI agent….there was a guy who murdered a couple “just to do it and rob them” ….they were camping. He had made “friends” with them the night before and the next day slaughtered them with his AR from afar. That stuff makes me so standoffish.
@@kaylaharbin7302 shittt lol no more camping solo with my boyfriend I guess! I probably wouldn’t make friends with anyone at the campground though.
Just talked to my grandma about this case, her and my grandpa grew up in Knoxville and were 15 and 17 when Dennis disappeared. Her dad was with the Knoxville Police Department and she remembers how long they spent looking for him. She said he never got over the fact that they never found them and it hit him pretty hard.
In June, 1969 I was 16 and working a summer job near Knoxville. My boss knew people planning to search the next morning and asked if I would go with him. My family had camped in the Smokey Mountains and I was familiar with Cades Cove and the area where Martin had vanished. We arrived at the park early the next morning (Sunday). The Knoxville News-Sentinal covered the story that morning which resulted in hundreds of volunteers, far too many to manage. My boss & I were assigned to a team led by a park official and 6-8 of us cut through underbrush, briars and rough terrain until dark. What most people don’t understand is just how thick and impenetrable most of the search area was. A 6 year old boy, developmentally challenged or not could not have done more than walk on a trail or in the open field. There was a rest area with restrooms as I recall and the Martins had stopped there. Dennis & his brother had decided to walk around the small structure, pass one another behind it and appear on the side opposite where they began. The brother (10) emerged but Dennis did not. Within 5 minutes the father & grandfather raised the alert and everyone around the rest area began to call out and search. The father hiked back to alert the park rangers and by sundown there were 25-30 persons searching every possible area where a 6 year old might hide. Again, most ways out were impassable for such a small child. I left the following afternoon (Monday) in total disbelief. For 55 years the Martin case has bothered me because of the implausibility of a six year old with only a five minute head start completely disappearing. Tracking dogs, Green Berets, FBI, hundreds of men on foot covering 25 square miles and not even the slightest trace? The whispers by the end of the first week focused on the father & grandfather. Police in Knoxville later were reported to have had the Martin’s back yard searched and dug up. (No trace) To me it was cruel. A family colluding to harm their six year old son? No. I don’t accept it.
The most likely answer is that he was taken. But if the search began as quickly as is believed, it’s not credible that someone reached his car carrying a silent child. The only thing that makes sense is a longer delay to begin the search, allowing a culprit to put distance between himself & the family. Frankly, none of the theories is convincing. (The father told searchers that Dennis “might not answer” if his name was called out. We assumed there were issues with the child but at the time no one questioned)
I wondered off as a kid because I was mad about something stupid when we were all camping near the beach. I ended up getting lost along a trail and a group of teen boys found me. I was probably 6/7 at the time and they stayed with me until we found the search and rescue party that was looking for me. If it weren’t for them I don’t know if I would have found my way back.
Someone was watching over you that day.
I don't even watch TV anymore....only Mile Higher and Bailey Sarian. I'm going back and watching all of your episodes 🙂
Since finding you guys a month ago, I’ve listened to a 1-2 podcasts a day - the drive to and from work (keeping me awake after 10-12 hour shift in the ED) the morning chores (milking goats and feeding all the livestock) and then falling asleep 💚 thank you for what you do!
Im a school bus driver. I listen 2 them while I'm at wrk. It passes the time. But b careful bc when u listen 2 long it cud give u nightmares
Oh my hell, I work in an ED at night & I barely make my 15 minute drive home & a shower! You stay up to milk goats?? 🙌🏻🙌🏻
@@janeillebraswell2519 I do :) it’s about a 30 minute drive home, then it’s straight out to milk goats, feed the chickens, ducks, goats and pigs and check the garden - hubby takes care of our six dogs and the cats. Usually takes about an hour and a half to finish up all the morning chores, shower, and crawl into bed to do it all over again lol. I do have the goats on a 24 hour milk schedule, so at least I only have to do that once a day and can sleep a little longer. Gotta have something outside of work to maintain sanity, as I’m sure you know well!
I can’t be the only one that thought when they said “bare footprint”, they meant “bear footprint” 🤯 whatttt!
Lol I thought the exact same thing!
Same!!!
Same🤣
Thank god. I had to rewind!
lololol I definitely thought the sameeee thing 😂🤯
My first thought is that Dennis did not disappear in the mysterious way the father described. Not saying anything bad about the parents but it would seem more likely that Dennis disappeared while unsupervised, the parents may not have wanted to admit or look negligent.
I don't think any parent or sibling could keep that secret for so many years. Or to have the others complicit in it too, they're story would have had many more holes in it and where would they have hid his body from all the searchers?
@@highlandgirl84 she is not suggesting the parents killed him, not at all. She is saying there were more than a few minutes period when the parents lost him out of their site. It’s my theory, too, that it was 10-15 minutes he was playing and was out of site of his parents or others who were there, they just didn’t want to admit that.
@@highlandgirl84 there story does have holes in it, and yes you can keep a secret that long
I believe that too .
I don’t believe it tbh, because if it was actually 10-15 minutes that would’ve changed everything and he would’ve had more time to get lost meaning he would’ve gone somewhere completely different. Why would they want to risk fucking up the situation and the possible chance of not finding him. There could be a possibility, sure… but I highly doubt it. And a small child when hiding would probably explore and try and find the best place possible to hide so he probably got so lost and tried to find his way back but took a completely different path. Then the theory goes to either him going completely lost or someone that had been watching him jump at the chance to kidnap him. May he rest in peace and May his parents and family get to see him again one day❤️
You guys should cover the disappearance of my senior year Math teacher Mathew Greene. He went rock climbing in the Sierra Mountains in 2013 and hasn't been seen since.
Please do an episode on feral humans! I just was wondering the other day if that’s real or just some archetypal myth, so y’all mentioning it is so timely!
You should look up the "genie" feral girl. It's a little different than feral humans out in the woods but it's definitely a real thing
@@spencerrosehayes867 I want to look it up but I'm scared. Ever since I saw that Oxana girl, raised by dogs, the video of her snarling and barking and running on 4 legs, I'm too afraid. So I want to look it up, but not if it's too scary.
@@calliew311 that video scared me too. But genie is not scary. She was a severely abused girl who was strapped to a potty and her cot in the dark for years, her dad abused her mother and didn’t allow any human contact so she didn’t develop as human kids should get to, she had to learn to talk and walk properly but is pretty much the only example science and psychology will have of a child left completely devoid of love/attention due to the terribly unethical nature of a deliberate experiment. Maybe look up her Wikipedia but there are a few very short clips of her. Her walk is “funny” as she was sitting or lying for about 7 1/2 years of her life or something.
Missing 411 is so interesting! My family and I actually stayed in a cabin this past weekend And I think I’m a lot more aware and cautious of my surroundings. We had a weird experience out there while exploring the woods, we got very scared! I’m glad to be back at home!
Im truly happy you and your family is safe. Its scary to think about what ifs.
Can u elaborate more on what scared you?
Please tell us what happened 🙏🏽
@Still Sidda I know right
Missing 411 is interesting but a good portion of these stories are false or exaggerated.
Since the kids where playing a trick on the adults. I wonder if he wanted to play another trick on the adults and the other kids by hiding. I wonder if he wondered deeper into the woods to hide from them and got lost. Then something happened.
I was born a raised in the town right next to the Nantahala National Forest and as a child I was told all about this disappearance. And not to diminish what happened here at all but we were always told not to venture out alone into the forest. My grandfather once said "strange things happen in these hills, don't ever answer a call of your name, don't ever play by yourself and don't go out into the shadows at night." This case is so sad and I can't imagine not knowing what happened to my child
So glad you’re feeling better Kendall! I also have a chronic illness and you really helped me when I was diagnosed. Thank you for being open and honest 💕
Hope you feel better, Kay! 💚
It really makes me feel less alone ♡
Same here! It’s so nice to see her taking time for her health as well- setting a standard for the rest of us that that’s okay
his story scares me so much. i live in the bush in northern canada and i literally think about this story almost every time im out with my daughter. forests so scary af
Check out Canam project, missing 411, with David Paulides
Wasn’t there a story David Paulides did in his documentary about a little girl who got lost in the woods and was found saying a “bear” carried her and kept her safe?
Yes I remember this too!!
Yes and more then one story from children of this happening to them, saying s bear tok care of them.
Yes
A former student of mine disappeared 6 years ago in Colorado and his body was found a year later in a place that had already been searched. So weird.
Missing persons cases really get me. The not knowing is really bothersome to my spirit. I’ve lost sleep over some of these missing 411 cases, they are so mysteriously fascinating! I would love to see you guys cover more of these 🌲🖤🌲
Yes, me too!
Yeah definitely. I also can’t imagine how the families must feel
When I was 9 my family went on a camping trip to a campsite we always went to. One night after washing up and biking to our site my older sister and I were approached by a 40-50yo man. We obviously didn’t stop and just went to our parents. We were sitting around the fire eating dinner and we heard something off in the bushes. Our dad went to check it out, came back and told us to go to bed so they could go scare of the raccoon.
Years later they told us it was that guy, he followed us back to our site that night. Still gives me goosebumps.
What did your dad tell/do to him?
What did your dad do 👀
@@falynsworld8506 dad probably disappeared him and he is a missing411 case🤣
I want to see something on feral humans! The Native Americans have a long history with wild men. You could go to almost any area in the US, and the Native American tribes in the area will have their own name for the wild man.
I don't understand why they won't mention that they got the idea from AHS?? Kinda weird
But if it was some wild man then why didn't anyone in that group see or hear someone taking the kid?
@@AutumnSwift2 I’m just speculating, but I would think “wild men” are extremely skillful hunters and therefore very quiet and easily unnoticed.
@@sonnygL7 American horror story.
@@allyson2382 ding ding ding ding
The feral human theory is interesting to take into consideration & very possible as well. This reminds me of the American Horror Stories episode of feral ppl. Pretty scary to think about
Yes! I just added a comment about that. LoL.
@@stephd6957 maybe they drew inspiration from this case,idk but the episode is sooo similar to the case. & in the episode the little boy was abducted while he wondered off not too far from his dad. Then later on in the episode the parents years later find a lead in what happened to their son the son was now the leader of all the feral ppl it was a trip & scary bc they literally had their own language😳😳😳
Just what i thought
What episode is that
I think that this is where they got the idea for the episode from. They are known for using real people/situations for shows so I wouldn't be surprised.
After living near the GSM my entire life and visiting Cades Cove every other weekend, I can definitely say that I believe this boy was taken by someone who lives in those woods and never comes out of those woods. We’ve been told since we were young about people who live “off grid” and no one knows about them. The Gatlinburg fires had hundreds more victims than were reported, according to firefighters in the mountains. So honestly I’d always have a weapon with me and another person because the Smokies are dangerous, alone or in a group. So glad you guys finally posted about my City and State!! ❤️
There are most definitely cannibals in the smoky mountains. I have family that live in Sevierville and there’s always been rumors. Please be careful when you go into those woods and protect yourself the best you can !
I have an almost 20 month old and almost 38wks pregnant... I think I'd honestly die if one of my kids went missing. I couldn't imagine the helplessness that they felt/feel. I don't care... if we bring our kids hiking, I'm putting those harness thingies on them. Especially with all these missing cases in the woods...
The harnesses aren't a bad idea! My 5 year old is autistic, and will run off without thinking twice. The issue is; she's nonverbal and doesn't understand how to call for help. I've gotten alot of weird looks, and judgy people making comments, but i don't care. Just want to keep my child safe, so she wears a harness/leash.
@@sagekeebaugh2397 my child is also non verbal autistic and we have used a backpack harness anytime we are hiking or walking. My son has no sense of danger and it keeps him safe. They have the cutest backpack harnesses and I think thats why my son doesn't mind his "pack back"
Girl! You’re not lying. My life would be over if I lost my kids. If we go camping I’m definitely getting a harness for them
@@mylittlesuperhero581 I've seen those backpack harnesses before, they're adorable! It's weird to me that there's this stigma almost, about kids having a leash/harness. It's about keeping kids safe, and it is more difficult to do, when they're on the spectrum, special needs, etc. Go you, for being an awesome parent ☺️
@@sagekeebaugh2397 a lot of missing 411 cases for children, are autistic, be careful
I can’t imagine losing a child, never finding them, and never getting any answers. 💔💔
I cannot imagine. Just knowing your baby is out there somewhere alone and scared would be enough to make me dedicate the rest of my life to finding them. 💔💔💔
Absolutely 😭💔💔
I pain I pray none of us will ever have to experience. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼I wish no one would ever have to go through that. I can’t imagine. Hell on Earth. 💔💔💔
it’s so sad to think of little one stuck outside in the elements with no help… makes my stomach turn to think about 🥺💔
Josh’s enthusiasm during the Tushy segment is an absolute mood
The "Ask Me About My Butthole" shirt on the website was dope too.
Kinda makes me wanna stick bamboo up my ass...or something.
These missing cases connected to the national parks are so intriguing. Any unsolved case leaves me wondering what truly happened but when I hear these Missing 411 cases I think even deeper because the areas are so large that literally anything could have happened. Thank you Kendall and Josh for staying consistent. I look forward to Wednesdays every week. It's my "me time" to delve into your show while enjoying coffee and a blunt. Love you guys. 😊❤💯

I live about 20 mins from Cades Cove so this story is very familiar to me. Everyone in the area have always assumed he was possibly attacked by a bear or wild animal. I always wondered if he was abducted since they never found his body. Thank you guys for doing a story so close to home!

Okay, but did Mile Higher ever end up doing an episode about Feral Humans? That's so interesting and I need to hear more now haha
IT IS MIND BLOWING HOW MANY PEOPLE GO MISSING & ARE NEVER FOUND IN NATIONAL PARKS 😵💫
I’m from Bristol Tennessee and the wildmen / mountain men are real. I heard about them all the time growing up, and having explored the Cherokee national forest and the smoky mountains frequently over the years…. They are kinda creepy, and the perfect place to hide from the rest of the world.
Can you elaborate more, I’m wondering about missing Summer Wells from Tennessee, and where she could be, possibly being hidden
It's a wild place because it is so ancient and the locals know the legends but outsiders are at a major disadvantage
I recently watched the American Horror Stories episode 'Feral', and this story reminds me of that minus the horror and supernatural elements.
it absolutely had to be inspired by this case. it has so much similarity, down to the kid hiding and trying to scare his family.
This reminds me of an American Horror Stories episode that recently came out! The son ran a little ahead of his dad and hid behind a bush while playing hide-n-seek. The dad never took his eyes off of his son, and then the son was just gone. It’s crazy!
Cades Cove is known for bears. But since hundreds of people searched for Dennis and didn’t find evidence, and the report of the strange man running makes me lean towards abduction.
Hi I think the case of Trenny Gibson would be a good case to look into she went missing in Smokey Mountains National Park during a class trip in 1978! Very strange circumstances.
This reminds me a bit of the Wells Gray Provincial Park murders that took place near my home in BC Canada. The idea of someone watching you while your camping scares the daylights out of me.
As a mom of four outdoors wild little boys my heart is aching! This tragedy will forever stick with me.
I could have very easily gone missing in the woods when I was about 4. We were camping near Strawberry Reservoir when I was about 4. I was going on a nature walk with my dad and grandpa; they were a very short distance ahead talking, and I was behind them and off to the side probably further than I should have been looking at flowers and butterflies. As I was walking, I stepped into a large hole that was concealed by the tall grass; I have no idea how deep it was because I managed to grab onto the lip of the hole, but even with my little arms extended fully, my feet never hit the bottom. There was muddy water up to my waist at the very least, but again, I was holding onto the lip of the hole for dear life and never found out how deep the hole actually was, so it could have been well over my head if I hadn't managed to stop myself from plunging in fully, and I couldn't swim at all at that age. I screamed for help, but it took my dad and grandpa a bit of time to actually find me because of the tall grass. If I hadn't caught myself, I might not have even gotten the chance to scream. I probably would have been dead before they could have found the hole, IF they ever found the hole at all. Honestly, if I hadn't been able to keep screaming to lead them to me, I don't know if they would have found the hole because of how concealed it was. Maybe Dennis wandered off and fell in a hole?
Oh wow, so glad your ok!!
I’m glad you’re ok, that must have been terrifying
@@tas3946 it's one of the few things from that period in my life that I remember, and I remember it VIVIDLY because of how traumatic it was.
Its such a shame that Mr. Martin died not knowing what happened to Dennis. If Dennis had passed, I hope he and his father were reunited
Good to see you back and feeling better, Kendall! This episode was super interesting. Love the idea of a feral people episode. It’s soooooo crazy to think about. National parks freak me out now lol
What was wrong with kendal?? Was she sick?
As a kid, my family would take trips to The Smokies and visit Cade’s Cove. We would have picnics and I have so many great memories with my grandparents there. I have never heard of this case. I see how someone could easily get lost in this area, though I think it was something more sinister 🥴.
Love you guys! 💜
Definitely a yes for a feral humans episode! What’s crazy about this case is nothing, absolutely nothing was found from Dennis. The human remains that were found but went unreported too late make me think they could have been his remains but now they’ll likely never be found. Dennis was a small, young child. His bones and remains would’ve been minuscule compared to an adult human and easily missed. So sad overall. I’m not a parent, but I literally cannot imagine their grief and survivor’s guilt. Thanks for another tactful and informative episode, guys. Peace and love 💕
My little brother loved hiding as a toddler, so we would lose track of him many times (at stores hiding behind clothes, or wandering off to hide). Each time it was terrifying but we always found him within about 10 mins. I can’t imagine how this boys family felt, just a fraction of what they went through was very scary.
This!Kids are quick. I made Burlington lock down the store once cause he just disappeared. I found him not long after but it was intense. I can not imagine never finding him. Heartbreaking
Round of applause to Josh for doing the Tushy part without cracking 🤣😂
Before even watching this, the smoky mountains was one of my favorite vacations I’ve ever taken. It’s truly beautiful up there and since visiting I’ve heard of a couple missing peoples cases from there..
I don't believe the timeline of his disappearance. Family members sometimes honestly remember it wrong - "I was just looking at him and then I turned around and he was gone" - when in reality they last seen him 2 hours ago. Sometimes they lie on purpose, because they think they might get in trouble for not looking after the kid properly. I'm afraid the later might be the case here. There seems to be too much emphasis on how close the kids were watched. "They were hiding in the woods, but we were watching them all the time, Dennis hid in a different spot, because his shirt was too bright, etc." The story seems manufactured. And then the search was so massive that it was too late to tell the truth. As to what happened to the boy - apparently there are a lot of disused mine shafts in the area, he could fall down into one or wander into it and get lost. Another theory is that he crawled into some small space to hide from the heavy rain and eventually died there and it's impossible to look into every little cave.
A year ago a 5-year-old boy disappeared not far from where I live. He went into the woods with his dad and his grandma, they were supposedly watching him and then he vanished. He was found alive, there is a happy ending, but also the truth about his disappearance came out. He got tired of walking through the woods and the adults just told him to go back to the car. Just a mile or two, what could happen, right?
I agree. I think the parents are definitely involved some how. I think they did something and fabricated a story. I’ve seen it time and time again.
Didn’t the grandfather say he was watching him the whole time? He only lost sight of him when he went behind the bush
@@Thetherapeuticdiaries if that was true then where is the remains? The didn’t hid it so well that a search party couldn’t find it and if they carried it out of the park and lied about it someone would’ve seen them leaving with or without the body. And also I did it unlikely that distant members of the family would’ve been complicit in the cover up. The other Martin who was there was by some accounts not even related to them, at best a distant cousin.
@@gaiusleviathan8110 That's what I'm saying. I don't believe that the children were watched that close. They might've noticed that he's missing when the other kids pranked them, but I don't believe that they actually watched the whole process of the prank, him going into a different bush, etc. They probably didn't think that he was never gonna be found, so they told the story in a way to cover the negligence, to not get in trouble when he's found. The kid wandered off a lot earlier. The sequence of events - kids talking about the prank where the adults can hear and watch them; Dennis choosing a different bush, because of his shirt; the abductor sitting right in that bush with chloroform - is just unbelievably coincidental. The kids were so silly that they didn't notice the adults listening, but savvy enough to figure out that the shirt might be seen from the bush.
you took the words right out of my mouth! I was thinking of these things as well as I watched the video. It's a little too suspicious
Love that you guys cover the 411 cases.
They are not talked about on the big media channels. This is a real problem world wide!
I found Kendall's channel a few months ago and got hooked. I've been making my way through all 4 of your channels, binge watching your videos and I love it! I made my first purchase from Higher Love Wellness a few weeks ago and just made my first purchase of your merch last night. I've watched many creators over the years and have never purchased any merch from them, but I absolutely love you all that I had to buy some of yours. As I'm watching your older videos I'm coming across old merch that is no longer available and I'm mad I didn't find you guys earlier, but can't wait for new merch to drop! I'll be the first one there, love you all!
I just moved to Knoxville July 14th & cades cove is the first place I took my son's in the mountains here. They've got a scenic loop you can drive to see the wildlife. It's crazy you're covering this case. It was my son's first time & we saw a baby bear !
rainy day, studying, coffee, and y'all came out with a new podcast! must be a good day ahead
Did they ever wonder if possibly an accident happened and the family maybe covered it up with this story? No disrespect, just curious if it was ever looked into.
It just seems impossible to me that he would disappear and get lost when his parents were so close and noticed he was gone relatively quick. They started looking for him instantly
Unfortunately it's possible....
Yeah I think somethings up with that who knows what happened but I don't think he got lost :(
Last week when you announced you were taking a break from your videos due to your Chronic Health Flare Up I really appreciated your announcement. Some people do not understand how shitty and debilitating chronic illnesses can be and I love that you normalize it. Although I am sorry you had a flare up and had to deal with that, but I'm glad you're feeling better! Ironically my chronic illness flared up this week and I ended up in the hospital. I felt stressed that I was missing work but I remembered your post & I realized I just needed to focus on feeling better and resting. Anyway long comment. Just saying thank you.
A few times my boyfriend and I have gone camping and he's willingly made friends with other campers "just traveling through" and I always have in thr back of my head, these random strangers are gonna kill us lol
New fear, unlocked. I've never heard of the wild men until now. I've always said that I wish I could just go live in a forest somewhere, away from people. Not anymore. I'm good where I'm at. 😳
Hello, I believe in the man theory, that a mountain man got him and covered his mouth and dragged him away. Of course the government with all the experiments. It’s very sad for the family. It’s not right that they never got closure about their son all these years. Still remains a mystery, hope it get solved someday.
Still throws me when you guys swap seats lol I will get use to it 😂
i feel really bad for the people who haven't found this podcasts 🙄 they really make my day
I think the American Horror Stories episode Feral was partially based on this story! Really interesting thanks for covering this guys
I'd love to see an episode about feral humans. That would be so interesting!
Same
Yes me too!!
Y’all should definitely come to TN. It’s gorgeous, especially when the leaves start changing 🍁😍 We go there often, I will definitely think of Cades Cove differently from now on 😢
I second this! It should definitely be their next trip idea! 🌄🧡🤍
Im going the second week of November!! I cant wait if there are any hidden gems please let me know specifically antique shops or markets
@@vanessarodriguez1801 are you going to east TN specifically?
I think of missing Summer Wells, when I hear about Tennessee now, I pray she’s found soon!!
How am I JUST NOW hearing this story? I live 30 minutes from Cades Cove.
It's honestly not surprising though, our national park is big and very dense, and there's a definite energy here. People dissappear from the AT all the time in our section.
Also, I'm obsessed with y'alls podcast, I listen to 2 a day at work. You're so good at what you do, thank you for making such amazing content!
Kendall looks especially pretty today! Also, this is terrifying to hear about - I've had vacations in this area lots of times and never heard about it!
Look up missing 411, tons of cases
Omg this is so weird! Literally last week I was looking into a missing 411 case near me and I was thinking "I wish that mile higher would cover more of these" missing 411 is crazy undercovered and I would love to hear about as many of these cases as u guys want to cover! So exited to hear your take on whatever is going on out there. You guys are awesome!
I Googled feral humans and hope you will do an episode on that topic! I don't have time to dive into all these interesting stories, so a mile higher episode on it would be so perfect!! Thanks for another great episode today. You all rock
I’ve been watching your guys’ channels for years now. My husband and I just moved to Colorado on military orders and I may or may not be fangirling…
The feral human thing reminds me of the Wrong Turn horror movies , also The Hills have Eyes. Please do the episode on that! I'd be so interested!
Where I live is surrounded by tall hills, I can see over to them from my bedroom window. In the late evenings I always see lights up there in the middle of nowhere... always wonder if anyone feral is living in those hills, gives me the creeps to think.
An episode on feral humans would be very interesting ... Please consider it. This was an interesting podcast. Good job.
I already listened to this on Spotify. Am I going to rewatch it all here? Fuck yeah!🙌
This is such a sad but interesting story. I would love an episode about feral humans. It would also be great if you could talk about Bryce Laspisa. I know Kendall covered his case a few years ago but he's been missing 8 years as of August 30th. If he's still alive he could be anywhere.
I live in the Oak Ridge/Knoxville area and have always heard of the wild people that live in the Smokies. Apparently they came from the families that were supposed to be moved out of several areas, such as when they built certain dames or made national parks. Its pretty interesting when you dig into it.
Edit: American Horror Stories did an episode on this subject.
I wonder if possibly someone was watching them the entire time. The noises of the children playing could have "potentially" lured the predator to their location. Once their, the person saw the child and began watching him, being the smallest and having the red color shirt on making him stand out even more. Once Dennis went into hiding the person followed and abducted him being that everyone else was distracted.
I pray 🙏 one day this case will be solved, so heartbreaking, not knowing.💔
The audio on this show is so amazing
I love how generous and unselfish you are! Imagine-A business passing on savings to customers instead of just pocketing that extra cash! I’m a huge fan of CBD and I love your products and appreciate your dedication and passion to providing such high-quality CBD. Love you guys!😘💋
I just wanted to say that you both are amazing. When you started taking on the packing and shipping and costs went down, you easily could have just kept the profit. Instead you lowered the prices. Mad respect. I was already a loyal customer, but this really locks it in
Annnnd my last comment for engagement 🤣 I'm going to make jewelry while I listen to Dennis's story. Thanks for everything y'all do, Mile Higher crew!!!
This case is nuts! I'm currently section hiking the Appalachian Trail and I stayed at the Russell Field shelter a month ago and had no idea about this disappearance. .
Best notification to start my day! Glad you’re feeling better Kendall!
I’m sooooo happy u guys made a podcast this week last week sucked 😔 and I been depressed going true a lot!!!!
Thanks for covering Missing 411 again. Such a crazy topic that many people don’t know about
Id love to see an episode on feral humans! And great job on this episode, this case is so mysterious. You guys posted this with perfect timing for me during work! I’m able to listen to you guys while im at the office and my day is so much easier to get through so THANK YOU! :)
I love David Paulides! That man tries so hard to bring awareness to the missing. He and his late son made the Missing 411 docs together...
He just wants to sell books 🥶 , not saying the stories aren’t good, but yeah.
@@FabiolaRVela I don't trust that man. A lot of the stories are exaggerated or altered for convenience.
Paulides is a liar and often presents wildly false and inaccurate information to further his theory. It’s hurtful to the victims families
Perfect timing, per usual. I needed something to get me through this craptastic workday lol. BTW, Kendall, so so soo gorgeous this episode! (Always is, but those glasses and today's look is 🔥🔥🔥)
It's my birthday today and this is exactly what I needed!! Thank you for all your work you put into each and every video!! You all are appreciated more than you know!! ❤
Happy Birthday, Autumn!! I hope you have wonderful day
Happy birthday! 🎂
Happy Birthday to you! Hope you have a fantastic day!! 🎊🎁🎈🎉🎂
