- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- In 2022, the FBI released 133 pages of formerly classified documents revealing their investigations into the Dennis Martin disappearance in the Smoky Mountains in 1969. What these documents reveal is that the information formerly known by the public prior to 2022 about the disappearance is only the tip of the iceberg.
Follow along as I pour through the most interesting information revealed by these documents and learn more about the Dennis Martin disappearance than you ever knew before.
Dennis Martin FBI Files: vault.fbi.gov/...
Those poor parents. If only they could have at least found his body or (later) his skeleton so they could have known he had gotten lost and passed away from exposure. Having to wonder and imagine more horrible things must be far worse.
This case is as convoluted as the Summer Wells case. My fear is we may never know what happened to either of them. Thank you for the new review of this puzzling case. Well done.
I feel in Dennis' case, black bear or coyote sealed his fate, sadly. I feel with Summer's case DW & CW are hiding the truth of her disappearance. Summer will be found, justice will prevail, all involved with spend the rest of their days in jail.
The mountain folk still think there are people living out there in the woods...
It sounds like wild men and they wear animal skins which explains why tracking dogs can't locate a scent or lose the scent
My dad was a fireman in Knoxville, they were part of the search. It was something he wouldn't talk about. We had relatives that lived up in the area, after this we had to wear whistles and were told to immediately sit down and stay in one place if we got seperated from family. I don't know what happened but I do know the mountains. Dennis could have easily disappeared that easily, he was 6, seasoned hikers get lost. Realistically it could be that he was just a lost little boy.
@@jeanninejones8350 He was taken and eaten by cannibal feral humans in the smoky mountains. They’ve been there for generations.
Thank you for telling the truth. Some people get angry when they hear this, but it is important. Of course it will never be the official story. The park depends too much on tourist dollars, and they did not want that information to get out. The FBI kept the information hidden from the Martin family about the Key Family’s testimony of them seeing the man carrying the little boy .
@@CashanovaXTREME - or was Dennis held hostage and forced to live with them?
@@glory5918 No, these beings are cannibals. The green berets that came in the day after were on a kill and destroy mission, supposedly they took many of the feral people out of the great smoky national park.
That is true and the explanation that has the least variables to account for.
So glad you're covering this. It's one of the most interesting stories I have ever heard.
FBI definitely fucked up with this case 🤬
THeyHaveFalleeenS0far....
Intentionally
They weren’t the primary investigators
Thank you so much for sharing this update and release of records. I didn’t know about them finally being released. I can say I don’t think it involved an animal getting him/attacking him. No signs of ground tracks scratches or torn clothes, shreds, blood, or remains ever found.
Thank you for sharing the info from the FBI files. Very well done; subscribed.
This is such a heartbreaking case.
I think it's likely he was kidnapped as neither he, his shoes, nor his clothing were found in the wild. Not likely he would have just disappeared where so many people were looking; a child couldn't get to extremely isolated places on his own, and there are almost always signs of animal attacks where it happens with torn clothing left and often the body very nearby.
As for his developmental delays, they sound relatively minor to me. I'm not sure how big a factor that was even back then. If severe, yes, but apparently his were very mild. I've read that the reason the kids had him hide separately was because he had on a bright red shirt that was visible. And his dad did see him hiding.
As for the FBI saying there was nothing to lead them to believe a crime had taken place, what about a vanished child?? Shameful they didn't investigate further at the time. Thank Goodness for John Walsh; there are better procedures now when children go missing.
Also did u know 500 to 600 children go missing from Tennessee?
A missing 411 case 😮
Notice Dennis went missing 6/14 and Summer went missing 6/15. Neither have been found as of today. 11/27/23 Also both stories have a scream involved, yet both are unfounded. I could go on as, Dennis and Summers sound alike
Only know this case from missing 411 .
Thanks for all the new to me info 😊
Nice review. I am subscribing. Thank you.
Thank you Linda and welcome to the channel!
I read through all 133 pages and I was shocked by the amount that isn’t publicly known. However, nothing much more brought to light 😞 👎🏼
Wild people who live off the grid. Listen to David Paulides' interview with Mr. Martin.
Thank you I'll check that out!
@@ryanfindstruth Also the channel South Force 10's video called something like "Dennis Martin case solved, these hills do have eyes."
Mr. Martin was not interviewed on any tape or recording, David Paulides went to this house and talked to him but there is no recording. In fact that was years ago, Mr. Martin died in 2014.
What is ir about this little boy? One of the most saddest disappearances. His little photo p
I heard that some man was seen speeding away from the area
Is there a Miami Florida connection to this?
Supposedly read something about another family named Martin from Miami involved in construction
And Dennis father was an architect
🤔🤔🤔❓❓❓❓
yes also heard this...but seems to be kept quiet.
I believe that Dennis was on the autism spectrum somewhere - think I saw that in one of the reports but back then autism was extremely rare and was not being used as a "diagnosis" for learning disabilities in the 60's or 70's. About Paulides, I don't believe he EVER said Dennis was taken by a bigfoot. He wrote books about Native legends re bigfoot before he got into missing persons cases but he's very careful NOT to say what he thinks happens to these people except to say he believes that whatever it is, it would be 'uncomfortable' as far as ideas go for most people or outside the comfort range for many people. Nice report.
Another thread links the fbi director Hoover to this investigation….he removed one agent or replaced one agent w another?
Reminds me of the little Lindbergh
A 6 year old would probably call out. Something fishy happened
"""Freedom""" of information... But almost everything is censored. Blank went to blank to meet with blank. If you want, we will give you the document, no problem. But you won't learn anything from it anyway.
Very true.
ps: I also heard that a man who had been harvesting ginseng in Smokey Mtn park had come upon a child's skeleton while engaged in the harvesting but didn't report it until years later because he didn't want to admit that he was harvesting ginseng because that was illegal. No idea if that is true.
Probably true, unfortunately.
They had absolutely no DNA zero zilch that's why they had to do leg work to determine where they come from and they simply did not want to do that. If it was one of their sons they would have.
My ears perked up at the mention of Jeanne Dixon. Wasn’t she also the personal astrologer to Nancy Reagan?
Please help to get a metal detector to find he wore a red , zip was a metal ?? Try to find it anywhere
Yes sounds like a duplicate of summer wells . Did Don and candous read this storey . It's really strange !!!
Who was the owner of the shorts found hidden under a rock on the left side of the hikers cabin?
The FBI document never answered that question which is sad because it implies they didn't take the find seriously, but it would be fascinating to know if anyone did follow up on that and find out.
Thx a hole lot of nothing Ur awesome 👍
What about the clothes he was wearing something should be found
Well I just found this channel (sub and liked) I’m 16:29 in and I’m going down the rabbit hole I LOVE THIS ISHH😂
Whoever believes anything from the FBI at this point are beyond hope.
I wonder why FBI was never involved with Summer Wells disappearance.
They are.
Did u know Ben hill road is only 1 hr away from the smoky mountains?
The Smoky Mountains are pretty vast. If you mean the Pigeon Forge area, it's 1.5 hrs. Gatlinburg is further.
@@ryanfindstruth okay
I agree ferel humans is absurd. The scream was ridiculously loud and heard by the Key Family about 5 miles away from disappearance site, and they saw someone they described as a huge shaggy human covered with fur that had made the scream. The smokies, in fact all of eastern TN and Western Carolinas have had many Bigfoot sightings, however in 1969 there was no data base for them like there is now. The Key family also noted this creature seemed to be carrying something. David Paulides, ex detective, has written a series of books know as Missing 411, documenting the strange disappearences of many hundred of people that went missing in the National Parks, in highly unusual circumstances like the Dennis Martin story. He has suggested in the last few years of people possibly disappearing into a portal, something that Quantum Physics states are real, and could be how the UFOs got here from their home planet. In the end, most likely we will never know.
I live in Western North Carolina. (On the other side of the mountains from where Dennis was taken)
I don’t believe in Bigfoot or dog men or any of that stuff, but 100% There were/are wild men/mountain men/drifters living in the mountains. I have several generations of family that have lived in this area for their whole lives, and they concur.
hoo boy
There absolutely are feral humans living in that area of the country and have been for generations! They may have human DNA, but they are not human.
@@springfield03sniper - ck out Dogman & Paranormal Research with Jeff Nadolny
I heard a rumor about him being found in a bush and it was never told
One thing to consider about the testimony of prisoner #1. If it is known that an inmate in a prison has messed with kids in any way, their fellow prisoners will usually kill them in horrible (but fitting) ways. So a single prisoner assisting the FBI on every level is not far fetched. If the accused felt he could confess to someone "like them" to build a protective net. That is how prison works. If prisoner #1 was "not like them" and did not want to catch a case in prison, the next thing to do is either inform the population and the case never get solved, or help the cops.
Prisoner #2 that blew off the claim, or covered may have had good reason to do so and squash any talk like that so the population doesn't get any ideas. So both prisoners stories are very easily explained.
I don't know this case too well but did watch a video about it many years ago and I recall that dogs tracked his scent all the way to the nearest main road where it ended, either because of being bundled into a vehicle, or the weather. Could that mean he wandered that far, or was carried against his will?
If somebody grabbed Dennis I fell to see how his father was not able to find them unfortunately Dennis went behind a tree where there was a trail right there. If he went off on his own his father would have found him if a human had a gravity I believe his father would have found him although that's debatable. I mean literally the boy disappeared in a minute from what I've been told he couldn't have got far down the trail if he was walking on his own his father would have found him within 50 or 100 yards.
Then why did the fbi agent commit suicide? Never explained
Wait...what?
@@ryanfindstruth there was a fbi agent directly involved in this investigation…a real all American kind of guy in school as football team captain etc…. Then later in life this same agent commits suicide?
Or was he “removed” by the fbi because he knew too much!
Suicide never explained by anyone really
@@ryanfindstruth agents name was “Rike” as I recall
@@ryanfindstruth Jim Rike
The FBI agent's family was interviewed a few years ago by a man named Mike Bouchard.
The Agent died by self inflicted gunshot in 1993..according to the family Rieke suicide had nothing to do with dennis martin disappearing nor any other children missing.
One of those photos of the little missing boy is too similar for me to ignore. This is quite, extremely, profound.

I am gonna bring something up that's just uncanny demos went missing June 14th 1969, summer went missing June 15th 2021??? Could these cases be connected?
I got ginseng planted in places u ain't supposed to plant it. I've hiked out in the woods with moon light, 15 years buyvny self. Just a dog. What do u want know.
In the Beech Creek area?
If you have any experience hiking you know that leaving a trail at best you will become lost. According to SAR DM died of exposure or trauma from falling. No mystery here unless you believe in supernatural events. It’s not uncommon to never find bodies.
@@Papasmokes875 There would only be no mystery if his remains were found - proof rhat he fell.
Then consider Hoovers involvement w members of the same sex… was Hoover involved with child sex at that time, and had ties to Dennis? And they didn’t want any connection to this activity and Hoover
He knew I wasn't lieing either. Tell buy his eyes
The fbi was either listless, or willfully negligent. You know, because they never investigated that scream 7 miles away. Supposedly because it couldn't have been dennis. Buuut, it was someone screaming , and may have been an actual crime. Or, the person tried to nab dennis, failed and had to go grab someone else.
Summer wells. It's likely her parents have more information
Like,like,like,like 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 sorry I needed more than one 😂❤❤❤
Did anyone ever check on other cases in the area, and if they were connected?
Not as far as I know but that's an interesting line of investigation to explore.
A way to look at this is it's all about who you are and who you know. I certainly wouldn't want this to happen but if one of the FBI agent sons had disappeared you would have seen a much different investigation.
Got it but we all know what really happened to Dennis Martin he was kidnapped by feral humans now we really don't know if he alive or dead, in the American horror story there a episode called feral, there out camping in the woods and there three son goes missing and they thing he dead then they find him 10 years later living with feral people it all most sound like the Dennis Martin case
Why didn’t they leave footprints
blank..blank...blank !? what's the point to read it? it is not the same person each time !!
Why wouldn't they ask the dad if these were his kids shorts?
FBI wanted nothing to do with the psychic lead, it was the father who had to go out and look for them. You make a good point that the father didn't point out either way whether he recognized them. Or at least the FBI didn't note that in their records.
I was thinking the same thing- why did they not just ask his parents if he was wearing those shorts when he disappeared?
There's an old man. Hus name us hank. Old. I told him what I seen he told me not tell anyone.
The time of year twas bear cub breeding time , bears are also more active at dusk or early light and 4 to 5 pm was the time Dennis was found to be missing ,4 pm in the mountains is dusk combining this with the dropped shoe and bear print it seems that its at least very possible he was taken by a bear, the family were not familiar with he area and had never been to the Smoky mountains nor camped which tells me the family had no way of understanding the dangers of bears .The child sized shorts could have been any Childs that were soiled due to poop ,that would account for the leaving them under a rock to hide the stench ect , I can see that being a possible ok idea IF I someone was without anything to put the shorts in and didnt wish to leave them out in the open ect ,in 69 there was def no DNA and the testing was limited after long exposure to the elements .Im not saying its not a kidnapping but it Im more practical in mind and its seems very plausible it was bear in breeding time that came across a potential threat and got rid of it
There indian dude. Dark skin.
Ive heard this story 1 just lost boy 2 abducted child 3 urs and its the best!
Maybe Rev Donna would have an answer?
The footprints in the water - shoe print was confirmed as shoes Dennis was wearing - also both footprints, the shoe print and barefoot print are believed to be one set of legs, ie Dennis
RE: Dennis Martin: Connecting the dots. If in fact Dennis Martin (Missing Great Smokey Mountains National Park 14Jun69 was, as Jeff's (DogMan & Paranormal Research by Jeff Nadolny) guest (24Jul -~"DogMan & Strange Activity Seen on a Military Installation - Father & Son's Account") is "100% certain," Dennis was taken (kidnapped) by feral humans could it be possible 7 yr old Dennis Martin was not killed but held hostage and forced to live with them? If so, even thou it is now 2024 - 62yrs later did Dennis Martin survive ? And if so, could Dennis Martin possibly be still alive?
Did Dennis Martin have siblings?
Yes, his brother was on the trip with them and they were playing with a couple of young children from another family.
@@abc-wv4in - that other family's last name was also Martin
I herd a wile bavk that was possible he was kid nap.i think maybe a bear or lion got hem.there were 12 to 14 hundred people looking for hem.and never found anything
Maybe the cold case foundation could look into this one 🙏🏻🫶🏻
Whoever believes anything from the FBI at this point are beyond hope.
