March 2018
I live near Mount Rainier and the missing people on The Mountain have fascinated me for years. I was hiking very close to the Rampart Ridge Trail a week after Joe Wood disappeared. There was a really heavy snow pack that year and the trails near Longmire were not melted out. It was easy to lose the trail as the snow was hard and you didn't leave deep footprints. In the spring, the snow melts in a way that you can easily wander off-trail and become lost - the way the snow melts looks like footprints. Joe was hiking mid-week and in 1999 there weren't many people who hiked mid-week (I was one of them and I remember many solo hikes). The one person who came forward was likely the only hiker on the Rampart Ridge Trail that day as there were other trails in the area with better views and less snow on the ground. I've always assumed Joe got lost somewhere off-trail and, after he died, an animal dragged him further off-trail. With the dense woods in the area, he probably will never be found. It's very sad and my heart goes out to his family. Thank you for the story.
Hiker Babe thanks for the insight I would tend to agree with your theory, I really feel for his family.. 😔
Do you think many of the missing hikers get lost off trail then ?
The wilderness is so vast. I backpack and I have lost the trail once and it was only for a couple of minutes and it felt like eternity. It is easy to go off trail and become disoriented especially in the backcountry and in snow. I have a feeling he got off trail or fell through a crevice. I feel for his family and friends who miss him.
If possible, always carry a map and occasionally check your location and heading (orienteering). Then, if you lose the trail, you can head in the right direction to cross it again.
I've been a Sierra Club and FL Trails outing leader, and I admit that on my own private outings I often didn't carry a map. In hindsite, that's an essential for any hike longer than a few miles.
I don't think even a map in the NP's is of much use if you go off trail !!!!
Couple of points to make , once anyone leaves the trail in these type of forest and topography the odds of being found drops by half or better. The odds of falling or having a injury increases exponentially . In SAR we’ve found bodies that were less than 50yds off trail who died from exsposure leaving no signs they were there huddled under a deadfall and only found by cadaver dog.
The Wilderness is a Wild unforgiving element that doesn’t distinguish between man or beast. Most missing people didn’t befall a ominous force but simply made a choice or had a circumstance that resulted in the loss of their lives.
The fact he was a Yale graduate, publishing a book and was obviously an intellectual of sorts, ties in to one of the commonalities DPaulides refers to often in his cases; the fact that people with high IQs are frequently in the “disappear with out a trace” group.
In addendum to my previous comment, do you know what time he went missing Rusty?
DPaulides mentions late afternoon is a common overlap in these cases.
Educational practice at an institution doesn't have anything to do with intelligence when you aren't smart enough to take care of yourself in the woods requiring self awareness and common sense
Binoculars and a book are not the main priorities to be packing for a light hike
1976 bronx he was an eagle scout. He had more than enough outdoor knowledge, aside from his academic intellect. His brain was packing.
No amount of indoor/outdoor knowledge, or physical resources will get you out of some of the occurrences that take place in the woods. Especially when your original intent was just to aim for a simple afternoon hike.
1976Bronx- DPaulides, in his Missing 411 book series, points out that IQ is one of the common factors in these seemingly random disappearances. Though your opinion holds truth in other circles, I find it’s expression here misplaced. The reason for that opinion is, in your comment’s misplacement you’ve also represented an unknowing and disregard of the DPaulides studies, where this victim’s background appears to meet one of the crucial components that lead to a disappearance.
I live near Mt Rainer and grew up here. People do go missing frequently there. Some are found some are not. It is very easy for an inexperienced hiker to get turned around and wonder off the wrong way. There is also many areas when snow melt happens that are unstable. It is very likely he fell off the snow bridge. Or he may have seen a sight that was off trail and went to go look for it and got turned around and got lost. It’s sad but it happens every year up there.
Yea the wilderness areas of Washington are very dangerous for a number of reasons, more dangerous than most wilderness areas in the US. But people still want to credit bigfoot with these disappearances. If you are aware of what the terrain is like it's not that big of a mystery why people go missing and are never found
ostensibly, your statement is accurate. but most of us here are hardcore followers of the particular branch of disappearances that share a bizarre profile set which david paulides made famous with his missing 411 books.
you need to dedicate a few dozen hours to researching this particular dataset through rusty and david's videos/interviews to truly understand why your explanation is untenable and why this is perhaps the greatest mystery of modern times. i have studied hundreds of these particular cases and believe me, it is not animal predation, serial killers or a mere case of hikers getting turned around - the answer is far more disturbing and incomprehensible than anything someone using traditional search and rescue logic could possibly proffer. its extremely unusual in that the people who know most about this subject genuinely have the least answers - truly, it is the most baffling and genuinely disturbing of mysteries
So what is your take then ? The Paranormal ? Roughnecks out of control ? Sasquatch ? Gov't operating scientific studies in the NP's away from civiliazation ? The Wilderness itself having a life of its own ? You talk like you've given it some thought. A friend of mine's son went missing in a Canadian NP a few years ago now, they eventually found his body, so they've had some closure.....
thats the thing, ian - i have no real theory. its one of those odd things where the more you research it the less it makes sense - somewhat like the ufo phenomenon, and - as you mentioned - sasquatch
some people would like you to believe the relatively simple explanation that there is a giant bipedal ape walking around undiscovered in the pacific northwest of america.. but that just isnt viable. evidence such as bones or teeth would have been found by now. but it is also inconceivable to me that every single person and culture who has reported a sighting over hundreds of years is lying or mistaken. also, the more you look into it, the more bizarre aspects you find. such as sasquatch appearances alongside ufo's, sasquatches disappearing into thin air, apparent invulnerability to bullets etc etc. its not a phenomenon with a clean cut explanation
similarly with these disappearances, once youve looked at a few hundred cases of the specific profile involved - it renders all other rational explanations moot
if i had to hazard a guess, i would imagine things like ufo's, sasquatch and this phenomenon are all in some way linked together. possibly as some ancient yet immaterial consciousness, or rather catalyst to the evolution of human consciousness - which is intrinsically indigenous to earth and has been around us for aeons, merely shifting form to appear as perceivable by the time frame it is encountered in. the similarities for example - between the faerie and modern alien phenomenon - are quite striking. on top of that, things like sasquatch have been around in europe for time immemorial - it just went by different names such as 'wildman' and 'woodwose'
i dont pretend to know whats happening vis a vis the missing 411 subject, but like the examples above - i do think it will turn out to be infinitely more complex and involved than anything that instantly jumps to mind
Don't hike alone!!!!!
looboo52251 better yet don't hike at all sheshhhhh
Hiking in groups won’t always save you, look at George penca and Jared negrete
I hike alone all the time. Be aware of your surroundings, carry the proper equipment, stay vigilant.
………..so what if that doesn't help either ?????????
Why not?
I absolutely love hiking, but after David Paulides stories and books of missing people in the National Parks & wilderness, I'd never hike alone!!
If he was a bird watcher his binoculars are out there somewhere
Some hikers found a lens cap to what might be binoculars and some clothes and told rangers.
Rocks and Oil Nn
Thank you.I don't know how I would handle this if it were one of my family members. God bless these family's. Please Lord give them so closure. My prayers are with you.
Amen....
Two hikers found a shirt in tree and pants on ground and a lens to what looked like a binoculars on same trail where he was traveling. They notified rangers.
And.....????
Yes??
Carol V update??
Can't expect Rangers to say anything !!!!
Best quote concerning this:”An evil stalks the human race an evil with a millennia of practice at remaining invisible. But if you know where to look you will see the foot prints of evil”
Where is that from? I love it!
"Big" foot prints ? ?
Why call it evil? Hunter of humans? The "Old Ones" talk of many.
heh.. awesome :D
heres my own crude attempt;
*..ancient man knew well that something else dwells in the wild places of the earth, something ancient and terrible that has lived alongside him since the misty dawn of time.. which follows neither rhyme nor reason when descending to make its presence felt, leaving few clues but the absence of someone who wandered a little too far from home and hearth into the wilderness, never to return..*
This is something that is there able to conceal itself an grabs people unaware of it's presence an kills these people an consumes them.
Thank you AGAIN Rusty! Enjoy your videos, however not how these poor souls have just vanished, leaving behind loved ones. Yet your stories, (AND your voice!!) captivate us! Thank you Rusy!
What is most puzzling about these cases is the complete lack of evidence. So many people disappear without a trace despite years and many thousands of people covering all over these parks. No bones, no clothes...strange.
Paul Miller's disappearance at JT NP is very recent and seems similar, very odd - ruclips.net/video/ol8Fp_2YXk8/видео.html
i've hiked those trails as a kid, my stepfather always took me and my brothers out into the wild. Just seeing the picture of the gravel pathway with the wild flowers on all sides looking at the mountain brought flash backs of walking in that exact same spot. Very nice video.
Hmmm...I found it interesting that the sign at 3:29 listed a “Devil’s Dream Cmp.” on it. The Devil’s in the details.
Jane Doe
David Paulides says that locations w "DEVIL" in the name usually got that name for a reason and often have unusual occurrences and or disappearances associated w them.
SubUrbanSF
That’s what I was referring to, his book titled Missing 411 -The Devil’s In The Details.
and water's wet lol.
Jane Doe my thoughts exactly. Ok I'm going to put it to you but isn't it weird that all these people just vanish and yes some are found safe some bodies are discovered yet a lot of people just vanish without a trace.You may think I'm way off or a nut but I really believe there's something supernatural going on here .You know native Americans spoke of these places as doorways to another realm and of strange creatures appearing out of nowhere. Most people will dismiss these tales as just myth and legends but one must also consider that there's some basis and fact to these tales..Other dimensions leylines whatever.Im no expert believe me but it's fucking weird man..This world really is a strange place and I for one will not be venturing into the wilderness even as beautiful it looks..Sorry to vent but I did like your comment..Stay Blessed.
SubUrbanSF exactly mate..There something going on..And I truly believe it's beyond a lot of people's understanding...It really gives me the chills down my back..Peace 🙏🏼
With snow still present on the trails it is so easy to slip into a lightly covered crevasse if you do not know what to watch out for.
Thank you for covering a Mt.Rainier case! It's an absolutely beautiful place and you did a great job. Much love from Seattle.
I find your narration, rustic... quite a peaceful pace, buffeted by deep rhythms and a steady pulse. I find it aligns well with the material. You sir, speak from the warm timbers in a pleasant breeze on an open landscape. Play the song on my soul, and take me with you on this adventure. Thank you
Bobby Salkeld
Beautifully said 💝
Bobby Salkeld beautifuly put my friend!
Bobby Salkeld Agree
The sweetest thing that I've heard all day !
Dear Sir. Both you and Rusty both have an amazing way with words. Have a good night/day guys and gals.
Since there was no physical evidence found on the mountain, could it be that he met with 'foul play' elsewhere, and his car was dumped at the Park to make it appear as though he had gone missing while hiking? In many of these cases where the vehicle is found in the Park with no physical evidence of the hiker, I wonder if criminals are dumping the vehicles at the Parks to throw investigators off the truth.
So weird. I’ve following the missing CDC epidemiologist Timothy Cunningham and saw posts talking about missing black professionals and it made me remember this case. I couldn’t remember his name, so I couldn’t look it up. I can’t believe it’s been 18 yrs and he still hasn’t been found.
Maureen Smith That's weird.... A cdc whose special is in epidemics went missing?? Fishy
Always always bad weather within a week of dissapearances. Always a shoe found...just the strangest phenomenon and ive been obsessed w learning all the cases!
Good job.
So sad for his family/friends who are left with no answers. And the other people still missing to date.
Happy Easter, Rusty ! Keep up the good work!
Paulides was stunned and stumped by this case also..great recap Rusty..i enjoy these narratives..sad..but perplexing..
iamrichrocker Paulides is a conspiracy nut job with zero credibility!
Lovin' these Case study episodes . A great addition to an awesome channel !
Yay! Always glad to see a video from you!!
Respect and Thanks Rusty
most of the missing are in another dimension; some are taken by other beings; ALL are loved and missed terribly by someone
If you are aware of what the terrain is like it's not that big of a mystery why people go missing and are never found
When people go into the wilderness they should be given gps trackers.
The fact that the majority of people go missing in or around parks may be the one common thread that these share as a fact, the rest is almost always mere speculation of circumstance(s).... I have hiked alone or with a dog in many remote mountainous areas all through my life and while I won't say that I didn't experience some strange circumstances, none of my hikes were in or around any form of park, just Nat'l Forest. I still hike in areas alone that are completely remote, but I also make certain that I am well armed and provisioned with what I need if something goes wrong. As a hunter, I have conducted many, many hours of predator calling out there as well and a few times, "something" came in but not close enough to identify. Bears come in a sneaky fashion and cougars are so quiet and skilled at stalking, you have to be sure to put the ground layout in your favor to have less area to watch and to keep your back protected. I have rarely shot anything that I have called in, preferring to get a good look rather than take game... I have been stalked by unknown animals on a few occasions, once for about 3/4 of a mile and whatever that was, it didn't "follow" me, it stayed parallel to me as I went. Always on the up-hill side. And in considering these events, whatever "it" was, it would always be to my right never to my left.
One of the comments below stated that one should never go hiking alone... I think that that depends on how well you know the country and how experienced you are. I will never stop hiking the back country of the NW! Now, I have a very well backgrounded German Shepherd pup to train and be my partner out there and I will say this concerning another comment that I read below; If you get the feeling that you should leave the area, LEAVE! I concur with that train of thinking and have been turned back when my gut instincts were telling me to or re-routed my path in a different direction. You never know.....
Rusty, I always enjoy these videos. You do an excellent job of bringing these to us, Thank you.
Love the way you do your videos. You show alot of respect for the missing and their families.. Just hope these poor families can have some closure soon...🙏♥️
I wonder what was the subject of his unpublished book?
Well I, for one, will never go camping or hiking. I'm not too fond of isolated and dark places.
You are an excellent story teller.
My friend lost his glasses once while hiking, they caught a tree branch and flung off his face. We heard them hit the ground near us but could not find them. It was just a field with some tall grass and scrub trees and we couldn't find his the glasses for 2 days. We only had about 100 square feet to search. Its easy to lose things in the wilderness, something could be right under your nose and you could miss it. Any hunter that's has searched for an animal that ran knows what I'm talking about. Most commenters are too inexperienced in the woods to understand.
I just found his site. This is very good and informative. I like the way he narrates. And he shows the sites where the person vanished.
Thanks Rusty, Love your work.
I have a hypothesis that may help in some of these cases. What about bee's and other stinging insects? I was hiking with a friend on a trail next to a waterfall in North Carolina when I was young. We hiked a couple of miles up the trail. To keep proceeding up the trail we had to climb a rock to get to the next section of the trail that would lead to the top of the waterfall. I went first and grabbed the side of the rock and started climbing up when BAM a swarm of bee's attacked me! Their nest was in the rock and I disturbed them. Never in my life have I seen so many bee's! They were biting me everywhere as I ran down the trail ripping whatever clothing I had from my body off in the process. Remind you, if this has ever happened to you a person does not think rationally. After running for what seemed like an eternity we got away from the swarm. At this time I was stung all over and I only had on my boxer shorts and shoes. My friend got stung several times also but he told me he saw everything as it happened. We got back to camp an my friends father was an emergency room doctor and got aid for me. I think being young and having my adrenaline pump is what saved me. I did have a fever that night and the amount of bites were astonishing. Sometimes the smallest things can kill a human being. I was lucky that day. Thank you folks. Take care and stay safe!
Alot of places these people go missing have weird names especially devil
Excellent as always
Those "harsh weather conditions" usually hinder missing411 cases. It's interesting that our government also has the capability to alter the weather, but I'm not sure if they could do it that quickly.
Think about it... What better place for "something" to abduct someone, most of the time without a trace leaving most people to assume that the person died from the elements of nature? What would make the government / park authorities to turn a blind eye in such a short amount of time after the person has disappeared? I know it's hard to actually really believe but if you really done you're research on these tragic cases one has to really ask themselves "who?" "why & how?" I'm new to this channel but I subscribed, great work my friend. Have you ever heard of Travis Walton? Did you know that his disappearance took place in a national park as well & he was found in a town about several miles away five days later? Now I believe some of these cases do involve people getting lost & such but some of these incidents I believe ET's are involved & some from within our government know whats going on but can do nothing about it....
Yet another where did the hiker go granted a decent amount of time did pass before a search got underway. Was it the people who live inside the mountains? Did the earth or rock just open up and swallow him, or did a door to another dimension silently open and then close behind him? The ones that get to me are when the rescue folks are in phone contact with a person and still can't find them. Only a couple I've heard of. That has to unerving for searh personel. I know one rule I've always followed when out hiking is if you get the feeling things don't feel right do a 180 and head back the way you came as quickly as possible. And whatever you do try and not go on long hikes in the deep wilderness alone without a transponder or sat phone and some kind of protection. Damn nature you scary!
Yes always carry protection of some sort and a sat phone. I would carry a compact 9mm pistol on me. Even if it sounds illegal in some parks. I know it sounds crazy. I love your stories rusty.
Always have a gun or a long knife, taser or something
The guy rode with a trucker to where he was found. Either head injury or some sort of mental breakdown, but he got to where he was by driving.
John Dearing put so perfectly!!
I think what is preying on humans is other humans. And I think we need to start holding the parks legally accountable make changes in laws to ensure they must comply and be transparent with all information.
I'm ready for this one. Wish it was longer, but I'm not complaining!
What happens in the national forests stays in the national forests.
It seems that way - Mother nature's secrets and all that !!!!
RUSTY AND CARL,YOU GUY'S ARE HERO'S.THANK U FOR PUTTING THIS STUFF OUT FOR PEOPLE TO SEE.THANKS FOR ALL YOU GUY'S HARD WORK 🤗😘😘
Excellent case history--looking forward to your next video.
I loved the 3 hours video you made. I would put it on as i laid down to sleep. Great stuff to listen to, late at night, on your way to sleep. Calm, low key and relaxing voice. Pls make another 3 hour or longer vid as soon as you get enough cases.. Cheers
Thank you Rusty for another amazing video.
Mt. Rainier is too close to heart for my liking....kinda creepy. Def won't be going in that Natl Forest alone that's for sure. That area is close to my childhood town...way too close.
What goes on in thet forest, in your opinion?
Tell us more, we're all hangin here.
What town and what happened, spookywise of course.
Cheers
Party on Garth.
Swishas NKush
i live by yosemite and i don't even wanna go hiking there, too many missing people and the park seems to keep quite and don't sometimes announce to the public about people going missing, only certain case gets brought to our attention ....
Hi Rusty, your videos are a wonderful memorial to the individuals who have disappeared. Regrettably, you'll have a life-times work to prepare one for each of the poor folks who loose their way.
Good job, Rusty.
About time!
New to your channel and im glad i found it because ive got a load of catching up to do. Thanks for sharing
How sad. It is hard to think that a place so beautiful can conceal so many heart breaking secrets. Although it has been 18 years, I hope that one day Joe, and the many others lost there as well, can finally be brought home.
I hiked way out on a ridge while hunting one year. The ridge kept branching out to where I realized that I was about 2 miles from where I was supposed to be. Had over foot of snow on ground and I started following my tracks back to where I came from when there was a white out of snow blizzard that in few minutes covered most of my tracks. What really freaked me out was that in the footsteps of my tracks there were bear tracks that had followed me. Oh crap! With my tracks fading away I felt a little helpless. Scary.
Great to have you back! I've been checking every day. Starting to watch for new post now!!
Missed you rusty! Glad to hear your wonderful voice.
I appreciate the work you put into these videos!
Can't wait for your new videos! :)
How sad for the family and friends, the people that go missing are always such nice, kind people, people with potential. It is so very odd that nothing is found, just nothing. Brilliant and well done video as usual. Thank you Rusty, and a Happy Easter.
I live 30 miles from Mt. Rainier National Park. It's a popular tourist destination. It's gorgeous in the spring and summer. Further south, you will see Mount St. Helens, the only active volcano that erupted in the 1980's.
So, he left ok onto the trail carrying a book about birds and wore only a shirt but then he was reported to stop and talked to another hiker who was leaving the area bc of dangerous snowpack on a bridge and it is July. Make any sense anyone?
rob ribant Nope.
I was there one time in July . In a pickup and camper and the snow on the sides of the road was higher then my camper. A snow bridge is just hard packed snow over a creek that will get to soft to cross as it warms up.
Debbie Cooper thank you
The hiker killed him
@@blazed1945 most likely
Great work dude!! I gotta watch your videos early when I’m not tired your voice knocks me out!!! I’ll finish this one tomorrow!!
Happy Easter to All! David P. recommends to hike with people but people hiking with others also disappear... so what to do?
That's really sad he couldn't be found, also a great mystery, for those who search for the truth; my heart and prayers goes to the family. Thank you Rusty.
love your videos. its great you are also doing research on these strange dissapearences. people need to know more for their safety . its a pity no one from national paks asministration has officially acknowledged their is indeed something very strange going on and its also a worldwide phenomena.
I agree but they won't make it mandatory because it would be like admiting to something unusual is going on at national parks.
amy benje good idea , we could rent them out !! Decent ones are like 3/400 bucks and if your not an avid hiker ...
Wish the FBI would get involved more, they would if it was going on it a city environment I bet.....
Luke 17:26 explains it perfectly.
Awesome job, Rusty! Thank you - I have been a fan of yours for a very long time - please keep the stories coming my friend!
Something very strange is definitely happening in our mountain ranges across the U.S. with these disappearances.
Saw your "Case Study 4" of George Penca and liked it. I like case studies that are analytical. Host steps back, impartial and gives many scenarios. Not trying to promote one scenario, but gives cold hard facts, maps, etc. Gives opportunity for arm chair detectives to try to find solution. If one arm chair solves it - worth it. If a loved one of mine mysteriously disappeared or died, I'd be open and grateful if arm chairs given opportunity to solve. They may solve mystery. Subscribed.
Such a beautiful serene atmosphere for such tragedies to happen thank you for making these videos and telling the lost stories
It just can't be a coincidence: all these folks disappearing in these places over the years. It is indeed baffling and tedious trying to figure out what is going on.
Awesome as always
Good work
Do you check if there is a Connection off blood grupe like o negative?
Regards from Sweden
Intense! 😣
Very interesting all the detail that has been put into this.
Another superb job, Rusty
Rusty s videos never dissapoint me ... just watched his latest and this... sadness surrounds these strange disappearance s , Rusty s coverage of them is always respectful interesting and most importantly that they are missing and the high numbers who disappear without a trace ... truely shocking... thanku MR WEST 😍
an eagle scout gets lost on a trail?????????? I'm missing something...
Mountain lion I think got him
We had a similar case in Brasil. No sign of him, even after 30 years. Itatiaia National Park.
Eagle scout, obviously given his achievements performed well under stress, and a clear trail. There's something we're missing. I hope it wasn't foul play.
I agree. I think he may have tried that snow bridge and had an accident. His bones are probably way down below now.
Arjen Yaar paranormal as in what do you think? Bc to me it's either Bigfoot or aliens, what other possibility could it be especially about the hundreds of other cases just like Joeseph, may he RIP and his friends and family find closure
Rusty West you have the best stories and I like the fact that you choose which ones sound the most credible. I listened to your interview about your own experience in the forest and how everything became oddly silent. Other credible sources have stated the same. I used to think that Bigfoot etc was silly. I’m a believer in things now that didn’t used to make sense at all. One search and rescue team found a kid in a tree they couldn’t possibly have climbed up. Mountain lion could’ve done it or even a bear but why would they kill a kid up in the tree instead of on the ground?
You do a great service to society.
Mt. Rainier is 14, 411' and the highest point (obviously) in this park. Therefore, the altitudes in the park cannot go from 1600' to over 15,000 as you stated.
I found your channel a few days ago and am loving the videos, keep them up.
Great work brother!
hes not your brother. neither am i.
Easy bro lol
Bret M lmao ikr!
Textbook troll.
K9 RULER Don't be a putz. If Mr. West doesn't like it he can respond himself.
We're literally left with no choice but to start speculating outside the box. Bigfoot? Aliens? Windigo? Portal? Nephilim? Secret Goverment Kidnap?
Joey Chaparro old lava tubes, rivers, streams, glaciers.
Mountain lion
P. Diddy.
Don't be ridiculous. The guy had a newly discovered heart condition, went on a taxing hike, and died. Animals can consume and disperse an entire body (even elk sized bodies) completely within 2 days. Zero mystery. Just like all the other National Park disappearances. They're just very very boring (though sad and pointless) cases of humans making mistakes, and nature taking care of their carcasses. Hypothermia alone, is probably responsible for 90% of them. These peddlers of "mystery" are simply cashing in on the gullibility of people who need drama.
Oh really? I didn't know it was that simple. Ok lets just forget about this guy along with all the other countless missing people and move on. Thank god Internet Ranger Dipshit stumpled upon this video and solved the case once and for all...
Can you cover ones state by state? I want to hear a lot of eerie ones from southeast Pennsylvania
Great work on reporting these mysterious missing person cases. Pertaining to this case, I can't understand why anyone with a known heart condition, especially when his health condition was recently discovered........would take such a long trip, and a long hike into such a wilderness area all by himself. That's not even a wise thing to do for anyone WITHOUT any health problems. I certainly wouldn't want to take such a trip and hike all by myself. There's simply too many things that could possibly go wrong, and being all alone is going to make a bad thing much worse. Thanks for sharing this story.
would it save time and money to provide each guest with some kind of GPS tracking device?
Great work as always!! Keep it up rusty the word is spreading lots of people are seeing these facts now.this case really bugs me because it's about 25 minutes from my house.
I have heard many of these disappearances in the Park type area's.... But it does make me wonder if maybe the Hikers could have fallen, and been dragged off by a wild animal who would instinctively carry them into a cave if one is nearby, and some of these caves are pretty big. Animals don't like to share their food much, unless its with their own groups.... I never hear about any caves being expolored for these purposes... and because so many of them seem to happen near or on Hillsides and mountains there would probably be many caves in the area.
I would love to believe all these missing people just stumbled into a worm/rabbithole and ended up in Agartha. they are now for as long as they like living freely in bliss beyond anyones conceivable imagination.
somehow I dont think this is the case tho :(
I’m finding it odd that so many of theses cases feature photos of the missing hiker in hiking clothing, often with gear like binoculars, backpacks, etc. outside as if they were on a hike. How many actually have pictures like this as well as being of the unfortunate minority of hikers who go lost? Unlikely hood on top of unlikely hood.
You've lost me dude !!!!
Why do people go hiking solo?
BigSi 2017 OMG why go at all it's freaking creepy how all these ppl have vanished
I would never go hiking alone, but I rarely go hiking at all. Maybe people that like to hike have trouble finding people who actually want to go hiking.
People hike solo to enjoy solitude and reconnect to the natural world. It's peaceful, interesting, and provides clarity and healing.
keep it up with the good work Rusty!
You my friend just like another comment do have one of those voices, like Robert stack from unsolved mysteries... Just a voice that welcomes you in and keeps you mesmerized!!!
Mr. Hollywood so true.
Mr. Hollywood YES, YES I AGREE 👏👏👏👏
OMG Robert Stack was the best.
Just subscribed..this is fascinating. Thank you
Excellent video.
Really enjoy your channel! Thanks for the production!
Has anyone ever gone missing while involved in searching for a missing person?
Great to see another video or yours, Rusty! Greetings from Brazil!
