@judithkaylor7296
Thank you Mr .Paulides This one just completely blew me away! I got my cap, book and map, last night, stayed up late reading it. What an excellent book! As a lifelong resident of Washington state,I was really surprised at the sheer number of cases I had never heard of before.
@jackiemessinger8517
I have been reading your newest book on Washington. I live in Port Angeles, so this is extra fascinating as I have been to most of the places mentioned on the west side of the state, but I also lived in eastern Washington, in Spokane and down on the Palouse. So much amazing information I can't seem to put it down!! Love the map, also! Thanks for all you do!
@Sylviagean
I just received your new Missing 411 Wa book and can’t put it down! Thank you for all the work you do. I NEVER miss an episode. Oh also I live in Wa.
@annettelundeby4213
Hello Dave, I have finished reading the 411 Washington state. It’s fantastic!
@tericarver5832
Your newest book is great! I’m recovering from back surgery so read the book cover to cover in a short time. Keep up the good work!

1/25- This is a HUGE, HUGE win for every filmmaker, and more importantly you can expect us going into many national parks in the near future and telling the story of the missing.

1/21/21- This article described fatalities in National Parks. What Sunset Magazine fails to address is missing people in National Parks and there classifications. The National Park Service has a classification, "Missing and Presumed Dead,". This classification wipes the case off their missing person roles and it's never seen or heard from again. When you ask for a list of missing people, this a case carrying this classification would never show up because they aren't missing, they are presumed deceased. NPS knows this classification obstructs researchers and this is exactly why they did it. It keeps their statistics on missing people low and it keeps a wall between outside individuals trying to understand how many people are truly missing and the reported error ridden guidance NPS gives the public.

11/18-I watched much of the senate hearing yesterday regarding Twitter and FB. It was blatantly obvious that censorship of you and your accounts are occurring and there is joint workmanship happening between the two orgs. FB has closed one of my accounts in the past having nothing to do with bad behavior or rude conduct, they didn't like what I said about the park service and their obstruction, all factual posts.
I can't and will not continue to allow media sites to reap financial benefit from me and my friends and then turn and restrict factual information I post.
I am starting to migrate away from Twitter. I have opened a Parlor account and I invite you to move with me. It took me less than 5 minutes to set it up, it has 100% free speech with no restrictions. There will not be illicit behavior allowed, but you can state your position without being judged by the site.
My next move will be to migrate away from Facebook. They are working with Twitter to restrict thought, they essentially admitted this yesterday in the hearings. The migrations from FB will be slower, but the Twitter migration is NOW!
ALL VOICES NEED TO BE HEARD.
My new Parlor account, "Missing411."

National park Service Denies Film Permit- Yosemite
9/15- Early this year we applied at Yosemite National Park to film segments for our next movie. NPS requires you to obtain liability insurance, pay a substantial application fee and then give them an extensive narrative about where you wish to film, why you wish to film and the resources you need to support that effort. We also had to reserve rooms near the park almost a year in advance for the team doing this work.
NPS refused to respond to our application for weeks. They placed us in a position of losing thousands of dollars on hotel reservations, application fees and other reservations (airfare, etc). When NPS finally emailed us about our application, you can read the result below:

Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Commercial Film Application Response (attached)
Mr. Paulides,
I can tell you what we have been doing the last month, managing the park emergency closure and staff stay at home orders due to COVID 19. Your novelty film project was not a priority of the National Park Service. I believe our web site indicates there is a 30 day process on film applications. I'll also inform you filming permits are a privilege granted entirely at the discretion of the Superintendent and park management, and not a right. Let's be clear on that.
We'll review a revised filming location request based on your application, with no staff interviews, and get back to you on any revisions we require. We'll need to review the revised filming proposal. We cannot commit to any dates at this time, as the park remains closed to all public access. How the phased reopening for public health will be managed and what those dates are we do not know. Unless you are flexible and work according to our schedule, I strongly suggest you look else where to film.
Joe Llewellyn
Chief, Land Resources and Special Park Uses"
How would you feel after getting a response from our National Park Service to filming in your park? The response that we don't need to film on location, how would you like to view one of our documentaries knowing it wasn't filmed at the spot it happened, it would not be honest. We know for a fact that other films have been completed at Yosemite that did have a serious impact on their environment and they allowed them to film. Our request indicated it would be one videographer with a small handheld Panasonic GH-4 and myself riding with a commercial horseback contractor licensed by the park doing regular rides, nothing intrusive or abusive.
I followed up the NPS letter asking if we could get a provisional approval without the wilderness segment, they would not respond. Why didn't they respond? They wanted us to pay ANOTHER film application permit fee. You and I both know the outcome of any other applications, denial. I have never made a documentary that was not 100% fact, yet I am being denied to film in our parks!!

9/6- NEW STUDY!!
We have repeatedly asked viewers and followers to read our books. You can get these at many local libraries, if they do not have them, you can ask for an inner library loan from another jurisdiction. Why do we ask you to READ, because you glean items from reading that we could never cover in a video or presentation.
Dr. Curt Bachman purchased our books and decided to do a case study on the research. After reading the books, Dr. Bachman had an interest in a specific portion of the research that we had never spent time to understand, the phases of the moon in relationship to the disappearance date. What he found was stunning, beyond repute and reinforces the fact that our research is necessary, valuable and consistent with this specific anomaly.
We have attached the initial email from Dr. Bachman and his study. This is copyrighted and cannot be re-posted.
Letter and study attached:
Mr. Paulides
Before I share with you some data related to your research, I want to thank you for the effort and sacrifice that is required to complete the research and books in these subject areas. Many people say you are brutally honest about your work. I agree. I also think your courage over the many years is understated.
About me: I have a PhD in Educational/School Psychology and two masters degrees, one from Johns Hopkins University. I have published in peer-reviewed journals and have been a peer reviewer- journal referee for a major journal (I evaluate incoming articles of research and assess content and statistical analysis). I am a licensed school psychologist and clinical therapist and I have completed thousands of assessments and clinical interviews.
I say all of that so you understand my background and that I take valid research very seriously. I also feel like I have a decent understanding of human behavior.
Data
I have read all of your Missing books. After digesting it all, it is very clear you have a very dynamic phenomenon happening (you already know that). I thought about how I could expand the research to help me understand better, and it occurred to me to look at moon phases in comparison to cases.
Why? A main theme or profile point in these cases that make them unique in comparison to others is that quite often, a storm will pass through the area where a person has gone missing, soon after the event. This is not happening by accident and there is a purpose behind it. It may be the weather pattern inhibits the work of searchers or covers the tracks or evidence of the perpetrator. Could how bright or how dark the moon is predict a 411 missing case?
I looked at the phase of the moon on almost every case in North America presented in your books. I chose the time of 10pm for each case as darkness would be seen in every case by that time.
You may be wondering...well this might be interesting, but is it meaningful? I believe it is as hundreds of similar articles have been published in peer review journals on moon phases/cycles on topics such as homicides and suicides. For example, Do men or women commit sucide more frequently on a full moon? This line of inquiry is backed by a good deal of prior research, especially related to death.
In that research, I must note, the vast majority considered any case that was 75% or brighter a Full Moon and 25% or less a New Moon. That is quite a broad way to define a data set, but even in doing so, much of those studies found very little correlation. My analysis was much tighter. I not only looked at how many cases fell EXACTLY on a Full or New moon (the chances of a case falling on a Full Moon in a month for example is 3.39%), but I categorized cases by how many fell above 75% and below 25% illumination. Additionally, I counted how many cases fell above 90% illumination and below 10% illumination. Of course, 75% illumination is quite bright and 25% illumination is noticeably dark. 90% and 10% in either direction is VERY bright or VERY dark.
Additionally, a Full or New moon may occur either during the daytime or night time hours. If the New or Full moon occured any time between 12am and 11:59pm the day of a missing case, it was counted.
I will tell you right now that I wouldn't be writing to you if this research was "mixed" or was similar to the prior mentioned results in other areas. I was astounded when I began compiling the data from the first couple of books, and then all of the books.
I will attach a couple of documents to this email that show my work. The cases in Hunters for example, were among the most dramatic. If someone would of told me that a whopping 16% of missing/death cases in Hunters happened on either a complete Full or New moon, I wouldn't haven't believed it. The statistical expectation is 6.8% or less (Again, other studies would have counted a full or new moon case by being 75% or more/25% or less-my analysis only counted those that were 100% Full Moon days or 0% New Moon days).
An unbelievable 71% of cases in that book happened when the moon was either 75% or more illuminated or 25% or less illuminated (getting quite dark or becoming quite bright). A whopping 42% of cases occurred when the moon was at 90% or more illumination or 10% or less illuminated. Anyone who has been out when only 10% of the moon is illuminated knows it is very dark, and of course the opposite feeling at 90%.
My hypothesis was that whatever was causing these people to go missing might be using the brightness or darkness of the moon as an aid, or that it might be related in some way.
In every book, I found this to be the case. In fact I ran statistical analyses on each data set for each book that assessed whether the results were more than just could be found by chance. Every test but one was EXTREMELY significant or meaningful. Those who read your books, especially the skeptics, want hard evidence or data. This information is irrefutable.
What is astonishing is that the data is consistent through every single book. It would have been one thing if one or two of the books revealed meaningful results. Interesting, and worth pursuing, but the fact it wasn't present in the other books would have made me curious as to what was causing such a different interpretation. The data is so consistent that I immediately thought of your profile points.
When I look at the data, over 1200 cases, it is very clear that a person is much more likely to go missing in both the classic definition of a Full and New moon presented in the large body of research out there on moon phases (25% or less and 75% or more) as well as, unbelievably, on actual Full and New moon days (rarely analyzed in the literature). Even with such strict restriction on the data set, the cases in your book are still way outside what would be seen by chance.
Quite simply, people are much more likely to go missing during these darker and brighter moon phases then when the moon is half lit. David, in all the literature I reviewed on suicides and moon phases, crime and moon phases, and homicides and moon phases, I did not find one that comes anywhere close to such a close association as I see with your cases.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I have attached the data and summary to this email.

8/3- We just dropped a new video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wJ3ApO9-zs )about the disappearance of Gia Fuda from the wilds of Washington and the vanishing of Barry Tragen from Kintla Lake in Glacier National Park. Gia ran out of gas on a rural road and was lost, it appears. She was located nine days later alive with some remarkable circumstances surrounding the incident. Barry left his car and Kintla Lake and vanished into the back country. David Paulides went to the lake and interviewed a uniformed representative from the park service. The facts learned in the interview and the circumstances surrounding Barry's incident along with Gia's case are discussed in detail in our new video. We now have over 50 videos on our youtube channel.
The attached photos are of Gia, Barry, search and rescue personnel at Kintla Lake and a photo of Mr. Paulides when he was on scene.

10/29- This is one of the longer and more detailed interviews Mr. Paulides has done about his two documentaries. It aired on October 29, 2019. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBKbn8xsEtI
10/24-Colorado Attorney General Report (https://coloradosun.com/2019/10/23/names-of-priests-accused-of-sexual-abuse-colorado/)- Earlier this week, the Colorado Attorney General issued a massive report about sexual abuse by priests inside the Catholic Churches of Colorado. One specific location in the story caught our eye, Camp St. Malo.
Father Joseph Bosetti founded camp St. Malo, a person who loved the outdoors and specifically the Rocky Mountains. Bosetti established the camp with the assistance of the Archdiocese of Denver. It was a location that gave young boys from the city a place they could hike the wilderness and learn about wildlife.
In our first documentary (https://www.canammissing.com/missing-411--the-movie.html), Missing 411, we chronicled the disappearance of ten-year-old Bobby Bizup from the St. Malo summer camp on the perimeter of Rocky Mountain National Park, 45 air miles south of Denver. Camp St. Malo was operated by the Catholic Archdiocese of Denver and was a summer retreat for young boys who wanted a mountain vacation. It sits on the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park at the base of Mount Meeker. There is a gorgeous chapel that was the religious center of the camp, St. Catherine of Siena.
On August 15, 1958, Bobby was fishing in a small creek next to Rocky Mountain National Park when a counselor came to get him for dinner. The counselor said that Bobby was following him back to the dining hall when he vanished. There was a massive search for weeks where planes dropped flyers in the wilderness; rangers hiked the mountains, nothing was found. Bobby was given up for dead.
During the summer of 1959, counselors that were at the camp when Bobby vanished spent their free time searching the region for the boy's remains. They found his hearing aid and other small bits of evidence high up above tree level on Mount Meeker. The location made no sense as it was in the opposite direction from where the dining hall was located, and it was uphill.
Bobby had a disability; he was hearing impaired. Canines never picked up his scent. There were never any tracks located. There was never an adequate explanation given by any authority on why Bobby's remains would be found on the mountain.
When our production team decided to document Bobby's story, we had staff reach out to the lone counselor that was still alive and ask them to explain how they found the remains and the background behind the story. The man stated he didn't want anything to do with the story and asked us not to bother him.
In a review of the Colorado Attorney Generals report, there is one priest that is named as a suspect in 18 abuse cases. This priest was at St. Malo's camp and employed by the church from 1946-1972, Leonard Abercrombie. This priest has an employment history with the Catholic Church stretching from 1946 in Colorado to 1994 in Los Angeles, where he died. In a very uncomfortable twist, the founder of the camp, Father Bosetti was also named in the Attorney General Report,
We understand that Leonard Abercrombie is deceased and most of the witnesses and victims have passed on; it might be worth the effort of a cold case team to investigate the circumstances of what was happening at Camp St. Malo during the time that Bobby disappeared and Father Abercrombie was the priest at Camp St. Malo.
9/9- David Paulides will be presenting 9/20-9/22 at the Mile High Mystery Conference just outside of Colorado Springs, CO. Join Dave in a family friendly atmosphere with a GREAT line-up of speakers. https://www.milehighmysteryconference.com/page/page/9046630.htm

5/21- People constantly ask me why I make presentations at the specific conferences I attend, because they are the ones inviting me to tell our story. All people who go into the wilderness need to hear the stories and understand the need to carry a personal locator beacon and other safety devices. I never make or promote a hypothesis, I merely state facts behind the missing people. I was invited to attend the McMinnville UFO Festival this last weekend and met a man of immense credibility, fighter pilot David Fravor, commander of the Black Aces that flew off the USS Nimitz. I have included the story I wrote about this meeting below:
I just returned from the 20th annual McMenamins UFO Festival in McMinnville, Oregon. I have attended hundreds of presentations over the years, nothing comes close to grabbing my attention compared to David Fravor’s story of encountering a UFO off the coast of San Diego.
In 2004, then Commander David Fravor was the pilot in charge of a fleet of pilots and craft on board the USS Nimitz. They were conducting training exercises off the California coast when he was advised by ship dispatch to discontinue training and respond to an unidentified craft forty miles from his location. His jet was not armed. During his presentation he explained that he was excited to be re-directed as he believed they may be doing narcotics interdiction, not the case.
Commander Fravor and another jet responded and located a craft described as forty foot long and having the same shape as a Tic Tac. It did not have wings or a propeller. It was sitting just above the Pacific ocean (Maybe 20 Feet) with something underneath it that he could not see, but something that was causing the water to churn white. He was flying at 20,000 feet and made a tight turn to descend on the Tic Tac. He watched as he turned on it and stated it was moving erratically and abruptly side to side, stopping completely as it made its moves, something he stated that our aircraft could not do. As he started to close on the object, he still had cover from his wing partner who was also observing and communicating about their observations.
Commander Fravor was now heading face on towards the Tic Tac when he stated that it took off and disappeared in less than two seconds at a speed he’d never seen. The disruption under the water was gone. The Tic Tac was filmed by Fravor’s on board super 8 film unit in both FLIR format and standard black and white. The total time caught on footage, approximately 90 seconds, which was all released by DOD.
Just after the Tic Tac vanished, the Nimitz radar center told him that it re-appeared forty miles away, almost instantly. Both jets went back towards the object but they couldn’t locate it.
The Navy had a series of ships training in this exact area in the week prior to the arrival of the fighter squadron, the Black Aces. The radar operators told Commander Fravor (after he landed) that they had observed radar hits matching the Tic Tac he had observed during the last seven days, but they didn’t have air support to investigate the object.
Before a Sunday morning speakers breakfast with the public, I was alone with David Fravor and was able to ask him a series of questions. He clarified that pilots are not under a non-disclosure or a secrecy oath about what they observe, they are only restricted to speak about the performance abilities of their aircraft. He said that nobody from our government had ever approached him about what he had observed and he was never told not to discuss it. He said that this was the only incident in his career that he could not explain.
Since the time Fravor was interviewed for the NY Times article, he told me that he had been told by other pilots and radar operators that craft similar to the Tic Tac have been encountered and observed over 70 times off the southeast coast of the United States. I asked him if he believed that these unidentified craft are being encountered many more times than officially being reported, he said, absolutely. Lastly, I asked the retired commander if there was anything officially or unofficially that he knew about that belonged to the United States that had the flight capabilities of what he observed, stated said, no.
I don’t think there is a more credible sighting of a UFO in our history then that of Commander Fravor’s recollection and footage of the Tic Tac off San Diego. I can only explain David as open, honest, wreaking of credibility and one of the few people in my life that had 100% of my attention from the time I met him, riveting.
Thank you, David Fravor for coming forward and telling your story!

3/13- Listen carefully to this story about Native American women that are missing. There is no tracking or list of the missing, one victim found in a tree (Very similar to stories I have documented in my books), unknown number of victims, it sounds quite similar to what is happening in National parks and forests.

2/18- In 2018, Mitzi Sue Clements disappeared in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park off the Clingmans Dome Trail, the same trail that Trenny Gibson disappeared and was never found. Mitzi's body was eventually located under unusual circumstances. Mitzi's daughter (Elizabeth) did a series of six videos about the search and eventual recovery of her mom. This gives the public an insiders view of the emotional roller coaster a family experiences on a missing person case. It took Elizabeth a lot of courage to post these, prayers to the Clements family, thanks for sharing. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa3nfQC4ZVs0PGrIuIhiRfzNB31BB7ZxP&fbclid=IwAR38wp6sht6-5xutchHlD4yYTYahZWxHta_jPWkSO9G_IFdnMdqK127NezU

1/25- Thank goodness Casey Hathaway has been found! A few things for people to think about. The sheriff told the press earlier in the week that he pulled searchers out of the woods because of inclement weather (freezing temperatures, rain and wind). There were 600 searchers on scene, all searches start close to the point last seen, the great grandmother's house, he's found 1/4 mile from the home and 40-50 yards from a road. The sheriff describes Casey as in "good condition" despite being in freezing rain and wind for 56 hours. Dozens of the best canine teams in North Carolina did not find the boy. A helicopter with FLIR was in the air constantly during the search and never saw Casey. At a press conference early in the week, the sheriff told the press that he found no evidence that Casey was in the woods. How was this boy found in "good" condition when the weather was so bad that searchers couldn't be in the field searching? Read in the attached article what the aunt says Casey told her. We've documented similar statements from other lost kids in our Missing 411 books. https://people.com/human-interest/casey-hathaway-3-found-alive-2-days-after-he-vanished-from-his-familys-yard-in-north-carolina/

1/23- The disappearance of Casey Hathaway from Ernul, NC is eerily similar to the disappearance of William Tyrell from Australia. Both 3-year-old boys, both playing in their grandparent's backyard, both playing with relatives, both even look alike.

Time to say your prayers. https://abc11.com/3-year-old-boy-goes-missing-from-grandmas-house-in-craven-county/5102285/

12/27- Several months ago two supporters of my work decided to take on the editors of my Wikipedia page about the dishonesty associated with their post. It highlighted an individual that supposedly had credentials (non public). He attacked my work, data, facts and generally tried to discredit me. If you watched his presentation, it was blatantly obvious he hadn't read the books and was shooting from the hip. My supporters got the Wikipedia page changed for one week, then it reverted back. They tried again and were thwarted by Wikipedia editors, not because their facts were incorrect or that their position couldn't be supported, just because. Wikipedia is not the wholesome organization I always thought it was, quite the contrary.
Sharyl Atkisson is the former Chief Investigative reporter for CBS News. She investigated Wikipedia and wrote a lengthy report on the truth behind the page. Everyone needs to read this. http://fullmeasure.news/news/cover-story/the-dark-side-of-wikipedia

12/3- Two months ago we were contacted by a writer for National Parks Traveler Magazine who was requesting information about people who were missing inside NPS. Mr. Paulides gave her a lengthy interview and contact information on victims and others we've partnered our resources. We want to thank Lori Sonken for taking an interest in the topic and going deep in the story. After spending eight years researching missing people, it's gratifying that victim families are getting publicity on their cases. https://www.nationalparkstraveler.org/2018/11/gone-missing-national-parks
************************************************************************************************************************************
11/19- Although an older article, this goes to the heart of why Mr. Paulides wrote, Missing 411- A Sobering Coincidence. The FBI has always been involved in the Missing 411 profiled cases since the early 1950's, the trend continues. The bureau only will investigate criminal activity.

11/7/18- Here is an article about David Paulides' most recent book, Missing 411- LAWhttps://leepeacock2010.blogspot.com/2018/11/paulides-continues-research-into.html?fbclid=IwAR0-d94rwywAn_f8UE9GQmir7JcT8otpPkFnkl4oFeJx5YkY_eTedCG8BMA

10/18/18- As many of you already know, Mr. Paulides' first published books (Publisher- Hancock House) were about Bigfoot, The Hoopa Project, and Tribal Bigfoot. He was approached by two wealthy Silicon Valley executives and told that they each had encounters with the biped when they were younger. They knew Mr. Paulides was retiring from his technology job and asked him to investigate the topic and they would pay for the research. They told him that they wanted to know if the issue was a hoax or if it was a reality. There is much more to the story, but Mr. Paulides eventually agreed to an arrangement where he spent two years in the field interviewing witnesses, scientists and going to the areas where sightings had been alleged.
At the end of 24 months researching the biped, Mr. Paulides authored two books, The Hoopa Project and Tribal Bigfoot, two of the highest rated bigfoot books of all time. There were a series of investigative practices Paulides brought to the research arena. First, he required every witness to sign an affidavit swearing under penalty of perjury of what they observed, or the sighting would not be investigated (First used by John Green decades earlier). He also contracted the services of an FBI trained forensic artist to draw what the witnesses had seen. Neither of these research techniques was in use by any Bigfoot organization at the time, and none have been utilized since.
It has been nine years since Mr. Paulides has authored a book about Bigfoot. It was during the nine years of doing an archival search on missing people; he started to observe articles in newspapers that described a biped we know as Bigfoot. The archives he was searching were sometimes 300 years old. He was astounded to read stories about a biped that had a continuous presence in newspapers starting in the early 1700's. It was at the point that the articles were seen regularly that he began to accumulate them and place them in a folder. It was earlier this year that he started to put the stories in chronological order. It was also during the archive searches he found stories about the discovery of graves and mounds that were unearthed and giant skeletons were found. Many of these skeletons were near the biped sightings. The stories containing giant skeletons and hairy bipeds were placed in a book and released today, Bigfoot Wildmen and Giants. This book has no relevance to the research on missing people and is something of interest that is being presented to the public.
What you think you know about this topic, may not be true...

10/7/18
The Smear- Definition: Damage the reputation of someone by false accusations, slander.
I don't read the significant percentage of items on social media that are written about me or my books. The majority of the posts are inaccurate, the writer has not read the books and are working off other like-minded posts. It's very similar to a majority of the public forming an opinion just off of news headlines.
Two weeks ago I had someone send me posts about the disappearance of Ray Humphreys. Ray was a 66-year old avid outdoorsman, father of two grown daughters and a physical education for thirty years in the Granite School District in Utah, last teaching in Lehi. For ten straight years, Ray went with family to a remote spot in the Uinta Mountains called Hidden Lake. It's a beautiful spot surrounded by high mountains and big trees. The group decided to put their campsite on the far eastern end of the lake.
Ray and family arrived at the lake on July 18, 2018. They built a fire, had dinner and enjoyed the outdoors. It came time to go to sleep and Ray knew that someone needed to put out the fire and ensure the embers didn't fly around the dry forest. He put on a headlamp, grabbed a collapsible water contained and walked to the lake to fill the container, it was 10 p.m.
Ray never returned. His family hiked out of the area on July 19 and notified authorities.
Search and Rescue Teams arrived quickly. They placed multiple canine teams in the area along with 350 ground searchers. Canines never picked up his scent. The effort to locate Ray was predominantly in the area east of the lake because they had the water/lake as the border to the west. It was the general opinion that he must've got turned around and either walked past the camp or walked the wrong direction to the lake.
At 3 p.m. on July 24, 2018, a Utah DPS helicopter team was working an area outside the primary search area and in the opposite direction when they saw a body. It was on the western side of the Weber River, meaning Ray had to cross it. The sheriff stated that he suffered injuries consistent with the brutal terrain but refused to report what those injuries were. They say they did not know the cause of death, and as of this writing, nothing has been made available to the public. FYI, in my latest book I wrote about the disappearance of Melvin Heaps, 74- years old, lost in the same area, never found.
This post is something I had hoped that I would never have to write. I had always prayed that the derogatory, slanderous posts made about me would never make their way to people associated with search and rescue; unfortunately, it has happened. Let's start with the facts about Ray. His body was located in the opposite direction from where they were searching, he apparently crossed a river, and they haven't determined the cause of death. Read the headlines on this article:
I was forwarded a link to this site, Back Country Post:
https://backcountrypost.com/threads/missing-hiker-in-uintas-ray-humpherys.7852/page-5
**On page two of this discussion is this, a discussion about Missing 411 and a reference to the Wikipedia post on me, David Paulides. Here is their conversation: (See Photo)
I have purposely tried to ignore this. 90% of what is listed is a lie. I cannot change what is on the page; it takes someone with editing authority who is not the person discussed on the page. Anyone can ask for editing authority. I have devoted the last eight years of my life to missing people, yet when you read the Wikipedia, I'm a cryptozoologist. I have never called myself this, I have never been called this. The page is designed to do one thing, present a biased view of my background, filled with an angle to get families of missing people to view me as a crazy bigfooter. A few factual errors, I spent twenty years as a police officer, I'm not a cryptozoologist, how about discussing my work on missing people and statistics? Please note how Kyle Polich is listed predominantly as an expert who analyzes my work. It is that post that influences people in the Backcountry link to disregard my research, and this should be very discomforting to anyone who understands Missing 411.
Anyone who knows the Missing 411 topic moderately well will understand that Kyle never read the books and made some catastrophic errors in his analysis. Remember, it is this lecture by Kyle that was placed on Wikipedia that influenced others related to Ray's disappearance. How many other times has this happened? How many others have seen the Wikipedia page and believed what it is purporting?
I cannot tell you how heartbroken I am that people have taken it upon themselves to SMEAR me and my work to the point that people related to Search and Rescue are unwilling to acknowledge the importance. Even more discouraging is the conversation I attached where people claim I am disrespectful with the "Missing 411 conspiracy stuff." Friends, I have never proposed a theory, my books contain facts, this is not related to a conspiracy.
I'm really at an emotional and research roadblock. What good is research if it's been manipulated to keep it out of the hands of people who need it?
The former Chief Investigative Journalist for CBS News, Sharyl Attkisson wrote the book, Smear. She explained how society in the United States is manipulated about how they view certain things by a group of organizations that are hired by political groups to push an agenda. She stated that they employ a strategy of posting something on a site that is viewed to the public as credible, maybe a major magazine, news network (Wikipedia), that is phase one. People read this, and it is viewed as credible based on the site it's posted. Step two is utilizing an expert to discount the position of the opposing view (Kyle Polich-expert). They then work the experts view onto the site that is considered to be credible, sound familiar? The SMEAR is complete.
If anyone knows someone with editing authority on Wikipedia, I'd hope they would see the complete lack of honesty and the manipulative angle someone is taking and change it. It's tough to imagine why Kyle Polich did what he accomplished, or if he understands the ramification of his mistakes.
Please think about this as if it was you.
Comments on this post:
I think you've been the subject/victim of a disinformation campaign, and for a long time now...which of course means you're onto something dangerous. George Knapp's comment on the most recent Coast is telling also. Hope Wikipedia gets a proper edit. Be safe!
Wikipedia slanders those that don’t fit a narrative. I have all your books and read all of the books. If there’s one thing anyone can say about your books, it’s consistency. No wavering. No BS. Just facts presented.
Duly read. Aside from never being able to prevent uninformed or threatened individuals from disparaging your work, I would propose a campaign to inundate Wikipedia with complaints and demands to correct their representation of you and your work. Can someone please provide the correct recipient editor and let’s all demand a correction.
Mr. Paulides,
I have read your books and followed your interviews extensively. I believe because of your work there has been lives saved. I applause you and your team for the painstaking effort of your research. I cannot imagine why these people have chosen this path to discredit you.
Believe me there are numerous people that support you. Keep up the work and take heart.
David, you are one of the most objective investigators out there and I want people to know that you have never claimed to have an answer as to who or what was behind the mystery. Keep the faith and keep up the good work my friend !
What is the motivation? To distract, deny, deflect? Why are people making up crap about David? Makes me wonder.
Don't give up David ... this massive antagonism means you are on to something big ... and despite some SAR may listen to the smear, then others do not ... and sometimes it just takes a small handful of very dedicated truthers to get the ball rolling which at some point will reach critical mass ... and the whole scenario will turn in your favour and in favour of the truth of the facts you present ... just stay the course no matter what ... people ARE waking up.
In every interview I've ever heard you give, you go out of your way to never speculate on causes of the missing people. At no point have you ever described yourself as a
Cryptozoologist in any interview I have heard. You have never mentioned Big foot in any of your 411 interviews. In fact I remember one interview, where the interviewer tried to talk about both and you ended the interview. It is a shame how people try to discredit you.
Most of what is on wikipedia is not believable. It's turned into a left wing repository of trash. With people that know you, know that you present no conclusions. Just fact. Your work is detailed and impeccable. The trolls are professional hit job artists and propaganda experts. Truth always wins in the end.
We stand with you David! Your books are factual and never assume you know what is happening. You are a credible source for facts about all these cases. And no one seems to care. I don’t get it.
Unfortunately we live in a world that hates truth and logic , in a sane world Wikipedia wouldn't exist. There is a reason college's do not except it as a legitimate source for research! I am sorry this keeps happening to you , I will keep you in my prayers!
I got the impression that Kyle Polich himself was the one who went onto Wikipedia and wrote himself into that page on you - so he could be perceived as an equal to you, a peer commenting on a colleague's work. That page is poorly done, as are many Wikipedia pages. David Paulides anyone breaking new ground in the way you have done is going to get criticized, it's human nature and par for the course. No, they don't see the quality of your work, and yes they are trying to discredit something they scarcely understand. Your work will stand the test of time, forget these stumbling-block wanna-bee.
People who post this garbage about David Paulides is, in part, what is wrong with popular websites. Too easy to use a "free" medium to push a false agenda.
I have the highest respect for David Paulides. His work is very credible and his motive to help people, especially the family members of these missing people, is amazing.
Our world would be a much better place with more people driven as David is.
I will do whatever I can to help put a kibosh on these shills. Absolutely pathetic and nauseating at how low these enigmatic “detractors” go. Keep your mind on the facts, and keep us all updated on anything we can do to support you. This world needs you, and I know we all appreciate your honor and great personal sacrifice you continue to make for these missing persons and their families.
Ignorant leghumpers and nosepickers - a lion doesn’t care what a hyena thinks - I’m under the impression .... because of your books hundreds have already been saved or prevented- that’s an upside that is genuine
Those of us who have followed your work for so many years, regard you in the highest esteem as a researcher of impeccable integrity. There are obviously factions at work (still) who will go to great lengths to keep the truth hidden.
I HAVE READ ALL OF HIS BOOKS (David Paulides') AND NEVER HAS HE MADE ANY REFERENCE TO WHAT HE THINKS IS GOING ON --- ONLY THAT SOMETHING IS GOING ON...AND NEEDS TO BE FOUND OUT. ONLY FACTS...THATS ALL FOLKS, DESPITE WHAT WAS WRITTEN BY WIKIPEDIA.

9/16- There is no other business, political organization or non-profit that has done a better job of positioning itself in the publics eyes that the National Park Service. Yogi the bear, friendly and comfortable environment make the park the place to vacation. Underneath the public view is an organization that has struggled for decades and has mistreated staff, the public, and volunteers. The National Park Service has been continuously plagued by management issues, sexual harassment, mismanagement, failure on FOIA follow through and now this. 99% of all search and rescue is done by trained volunteers. Without these great people, there would essentially be no SAR. The park service has complained weekly about a lack of funding in getting projects completed. You have had a group of eager and willing volunteers that are trying to help the situation and are treated inappropriately, the trend continues.

9/4-Don't be scammed
During the last several months, I have received many emails asking me how I developed a series of widely weird viewpoints, how I came to a particular opinion, etc. The one commonality to all of the inquiries, I never made any of the statements they were asking about.
I have stated many times that people have posted sites, YouTubes, Facebook, Twitter, etc, under my name and Missing 411, all unrelated to me and posted without my approval or participation. This is ain an effort to deceive you.
If you have fallen victim to the described scams and have been led to believe some of these outrageous claims, please complain to the company hosting the site. It would take me tens of thousands of dollars to litigate each of these violations, something we do not have. You have a voice; please complain and stress the confusion over the illegal use of the names.
Finally, DO NOT believe online statements about me, my work or people who I associate. The VAST majority of what appears online about Missing 411 and myself is blatantly false. Be your own judge, go to the library and read the books. If your library does not have them, ask for a library transfer and loan.
Why is there an orchestrated attack on our integrity? I have been a constant advocate for accountability in the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, United States Forest Service and the Department of Interior. In total, these organizations have tens of thousands of employees and management, many of whom are irate over what I have discovered and publicised. The best way to stifle progressive and honest research is to attack the integrity of the author. Readers of my work understand I am a proponent of FACTS.
Longtime readers understand the importance of what our work has revealed. I appreciate your support and words of encouragement. Please be an informed citizen, go to the library and read our work.

3/12-Statement about Researchers/Authors and Journalists: In recent weeks, I have had readers ask me about other researchers and authors who are making claims about working with federal agents. I know quite a bit about this. My former police partner went on to become a special agent in charge inside the FBI for a huge region of the U.S.
The FBI, CIA and NSA can request any of their agents and analysts to take a polygraph test if they are under suspicion of breaking any rule or law, including releasing confidential case information without formal approval. They also routinely screen agents under certain circumstances every 5 years. As an example, if a journalist makes a statement that an agent told them something specific about an ongoing investigation, the bureau will hear of this and it is a guarantee that every agent on that case will get polygraphed. They do have a right to refuse, but think about that. If they refuse, it is a guarantee they will be under a cloud of suspicion and will be extensively investigated while they get a receptionist job in the front office. Any chance of promotion at that point is out the window. The agency aggressively investigates their own and will eventually either clear, terminate or prosecute the agent under suspicion, https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/fbi-polygraphs-countermeasures_us_57ffe22ce4b0162c043ae621. Other agents that are brought under the cloud of suspicion hate agents that put them in that position. So, any claim by someone stating they are getting information from an agent, I’d be asking allot of questions. I cannot see any agent risking a great career to flap their gums to some no name author or researcher. The vast majority of credible journalists would never out an informant like that, especially when you link them to a specific investigation, it is too easy for the bureau to identify them.
If a journalist has an informant that makes an outrageous claim, that journalist risks their own credibility and integrity unless they can prove the claim before releasing it to the public. As an example, the park rangers that gave me the information about people missing in national parks, I never publicly said anything for almost two years until I had hard proof that something unusual was occurring, that was with the release of Missing 411 Western and Eastern United States. If someone is releasing these claims without proof, ask yourself why. Is it to support their own hypothesis, to sell a book, to make themselves look credible, to get press or to step over another researcher in the same space? Always question the intention. Judge authors and investigators on the quality of their research, not on the most outrageous and unsubstantiated claim that each can make to try to get headlines.
Lastly, a few of the authors working in this space have made the decision to not use their real name and to publish under fictitious names, sometimes several names. You need to do your own research and ask these people, if they can't tell the truth about their own identity, how can you believe their unsubstantiated claims? Be safe!!

12/14- The United Kingdom has been suffering a massive number of young men that go missing and are later found in a body of water deceased. The facts surrounding these disappearances are consistent, almost predictable and match disappearances containing the same facts in the United States and Canada, outlined in "Missing 411- A Sobering Coincidence." Now, the federal arm of the police in the UK have posted a study of the issue, identifying the exact same facts Mr. Paulides did when he authored his book. The issue is a mystery and thus the posting of the study, go to the link and click on "Men Missing on a Night Out." http://missingpersons.police.uk/en-gb/resources/downloads/missing-related-research

10/22- If you've been following our work, you know that the National Park Service has refused to comply with a Freedom of Information Act Request and supply a list of missing people from their jurisdiction. They have claimed that they do not have the resources to do it. They stated that if we wanted the list, they would charge us $34,000 for a list from Yosemite and $1.4 million for a list from their entire system (They have released some nays and photos, but only a small percentage of the total). NPS also makes an ongoing claim that they are hundreds of millions of dollars behind in ongoing maintenance on their property. We were forwarded this letter from the National Fraterna Order of Police showing they are irate over the way the National Park Service is choosing to spend their money. I know it is hard to believe, this really is happening!!

A ten-day search of over 5000 ground searchers, canines, helicopters with FLIR, equestrians and others can't find Rodney. They do find his cell phone very close to where his friend left him.

In any other government lands, USFS, BIA, BLM, etc, all search and rescue personnel are welcomed to assist, but not in national parks.http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ccaps-spcca/rs-eng.htm

11/28-When I first started writing the Missing 411 series, I saw an unusual involvement of the FBi. They were arriving on scenes unrequested that were outside their jurisdiction. Local news reports stated that they were just "Monitoring" the situation. They weren't just monitoring, they are GREAT at documenting the facts on these cases and sending their reports to FBI profilers. In Missing 411- Hunters, I wrote about a case of a hunter who was never found, this was a response from the missing mans wives after she was talked to by FBI agents, see attached. I've always had a small doubt that they may not know what is happening, not now. They understand they are investigating something very unusual.

This case has been evolving over the past few months. There is really no clue where Mr. Balderas may be.

Kings Canyon National Park is in the same general area of the Sierra’s as Sequoia and Yosemite National Park. This region is gorgeous and rough. Let’s hope they find Robert quickly, weather is changing in that are as winter slowly moves in.
This is the one case that probably has me most concerned. There have been several people that have vanished in the gorge over the years and were never found. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

8/12- Joe Keller disappeared from southern Colorado while he was on a run with his friend on a dirt road. The friend stated that Joe vanished sometime on the run. There were several massive searches by canines, helicopters, planes and multiple ground teams. They found nothing. His remains were found this summer at the bottom of a cliff up a mountainside. This was posted on "The Find Joe Keller" Facebook page. Read it carefully. The elements of the disappearance still haunt the family and these are the exact same factors described in the "Missing 411" books. Our prayers are with Joes friends and relatives.
Yes, the DNA tests confirmed that Joe was found in the Conejos Canyon, Colorado on July 6th 2016, but that and where he was found is all we KNOW. We do not know for certain WHAT happened.
The place Joe was found is not a place where someone would go running. Everything else about how and why he got there is just speculation and theories. All the "reconstructions" are guesses at best. Some make us feel better than others.
The truth is we really do not know what happened to Joe.
We DO know where he was found and that he was not alive. He was found at the base of a cliff, not on a ledge, 2.5 miles as the crow flies from the start of his run from RainbowTrout Ranch. Everything else is just a guess. We have discussed it with investigators, detectives, searchers and others and still there is nothing more than speculation.
We do not know why the tracking dogs never tracked Joe's scent on the second day after he went missing having sniffed scent articles which were Joe's. If Joe ran to the top of the canyon, his scent should have been easy to track. We do not know why the infrared heat seeking plane (which could spot anything including clothing apparently) did not spot Joe's red shorts. We also do not know why nothing was seen by the helicopter we hired or by the small plane which volunteered and searched the area and the cliffs day after day in the beginning. A big "Thank You" to that pilot for doing that. Our own searchers could not find him, though not through lack of trying. None of this means that we are not grateful to everyone who helped search for Joe. We are very grateful for any help we received.
Now we are left with a Great loss and a void which will never be filled this side of heaven and questions which may never by answered this side of heaven.
We DO know that Joe is with The Lord because he was saved. This is a great comfort to know and we know because of God's promise of eternal life to All who believe in Him and His son, Jesus Christ and put their faith in Him, that we will see Joe again one day and what a Grand Day that will be!

8/11-Riley Zickel disappeared 7/28/16 from the area surrounding Mt. Jefferson in OR. There are several cases from this region and the Three Sisters Wilderness (Just South) of individuals that disappeared and were never found and documented in the Missing 411 books. The act of leaving an area where your son has vanished is devastating to everyone parent. It signifies that the search is over. I have great compassion for Riley's relatives.

7/16- I have always been someone who has attempted to under promise and over delivered. I try to meet the goals and objectives that we annually put on our calendar. The end of this month constitutes several milestones that we will meet.
1. Today we are delivering our first of three "You Tube" Special features on missing people from Australia. We will deliver one a week for three weeks. The disappearances in that great country mimic what is happening in North America. I hope you enjoy them. These will add to the four cases that are there now. Here is the link to our You Tube page.https://www.youtube.com/user/canammissingproject/videos
2. We will be delivering the official movie trailer for Missing 411- The Movie later this week. This has taken months to finalize and develop an interesting tag that will grab the general public. I think we have done it. This will NOT be delivered to the public by us, only to the film festivals and they have the right to either place it in front of the viewers or withhold it.
3. Missing 411- The Movie is sitting in a holding pattern at two film festivals. We won’t name the festivals until we hear if we have been accepted. The distribution on the movie has many unanswered variables. It is a guarantee that the people in the Kickstarter campaign that supported and purchased pledges to get the movie will get it. The question is when. Our goal in the movie is to get the biggest audience possible. This can be achieved through the film festivals and subsequent distribution. The majority of festivals require the film to premier there, or they won’t accept it. So, until a movie debuts at a festival, it cannot be distributed. The best guess is that the film will be available to the public near the beginning of 2017. Someone who is not on our production team but knows allot about films has viewed it and assisted us greatly. You will hear their thoughts about it late this month.

7/2-If readers need additional proof about the absolute incompetence (or secrecy) of the National Park Service, this article exposes it, again. The story is about the disappearance of Diana Zacharias at Grand Canyon National Park. Approximately 3/4 of the way through the article, the reporter asks the National Park Spokeswoman for the Grand Canyon about a list of missing people inside their park. Here is the quote, "The National Park Service does not have a database about the number of people who have disappeared in the Grand Canyon. "It is a huge area. About 5.5 million visitors. We can't keep track (of all disappearances)", explains the spokeswoman."
In Missing 411- Western United States I first exposed the fact the park service refuses to disclose their list of missing people on their property. They have a large contingent of National Park Service Police officers and detectives they have classified as "Special Agents." They know the importance of keeping lists on missing people. This list needs to be placed on their website for public disclosure.
The insanity of the spokewomans statement makes zero sense. There are 5.5 million transient visitors at Grand Canyon. The only permanent residents are employees. The park service has lists of the number of movies made on park service property:
https://www.nps.gov/deva/learn/historyculture/death-valley-in-movies-and-television.htm
https://www.nps.gov/whsa/planyourvisit/upload/filming_history_11_18_11.pdf
https://www.nps.gov/samo/planyourvisit/upload/Paramount-Film-2012.pdf
They have proven they are good at maintaining lists, but they can't keep a list of people who disappear? In the words of investigative journalist George Knapp, "A complete lie."

5/26- I wrote about missing hiker Geraldine Largay in Missing 411- The Devil's in the Detail. I followed the case intently from the day she was reported missing, now this. The Maine's Warden Sewrvice finally released 1500+ paged of documents related to her disappearance. In the attached article, the evidence shows she was alive for weeks after she was reported missing and while the search was ongoing. How did dozens of canine teams, 100's of searchers, aircraft with FLIR, how did they all miss a tent supposedly set up inside a Navy Training center, grounds that searchers were allowed to comb. I 'm baffled at multiple levels.

A reader of the Missing 411 books forwarded us this quote by H.P. Lovecraft:
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."

In Mr. Paulides' book, Missing 411- A Sobering Coincidence," he details the disappearance of over 100 young men who vanished in an urban setting (predominantly from bars) where they ended up deceased in water. This issue has accelerated in recent months and is happening in Columbus, OH, Boston, Chicago, New York, Manchester & Yorkshire UK. Police have to stop looking at this from a city perspective, it is an international issue.

Chase Martens, 2 years, went missing from his rural farm west of Winnipeg on Tuesday afternoon. There have been hundreds searching for the last two days and nights. They have walked the fields shoulder to shoulder and cleared creeks and ponds. They are at a loss to say where the boy went. Here is a quote, “Chase has vanished without a trace,” Thomas Martens, Chase’s dad said."
We need everyone to circulate this article and post it everywhere you can. I want this to reach possible volunteer searchers in ND, MN and Manitoba and I want them to get there this weekend. This family needs to know where their boy is.

WE are consistently asked why we believe the National Park Service exhibits behavior of evasiveness and lack of transparency. We believe a group mimics the behavior of its leader. This article may go the distance in proving our point. This was placed February 29, 2016 on the website of , Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility.
Jon Jarvis, the presidentially-appointed, Senate confirmed Director of the National Park Service, is an ethically-challenged individual who has been the worst NPS Director in living memory. In the latest demonstration that he thinks rules do not apply to him, the Inspector General uncovered a string of ethics violations in connection to a book about national parks that he authored.
Jarvis –
- Approached a concessionaire for whom he had just signed an agreement for operating 138 park stores to publish his book, thus flouting conflict of interest prohibitions;
- Kept the copyright for the book in his own name, contrary to the ban on compensation for work relating to one’s job duties;
- Used government equipment and staff time for his personal project, while misusing his office, as the book made repeated references to his position;
- Improperly approved display of the official NPS Arrowhead logo on the book jacket; and
- Ignored repeated warnings that he needed to obtain ethics approval for the book (which he avoided because he did not want it edited by Interior officials).
To top it off, he then lied to his boss, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, by telling her that the concessionaire had approached him with the book idea – when it was the other way around. Jarvis didn’t think he’d get caught because he had created a bogus email trail. He also sent Jewell a note with a copy of the newly published book which falsely declared “there are no ethics issues.” (Emphasis in original)
Oh by the way, the subject of his book is … ethics. Pompously titled “Guidebook to American Values and Our National Parks,” it has only “sold” 228 copies –not counting the 50 or so Jarvis has sent to staff and friends. So, his “publisher” is out several thousand dollars for his powerful patron’s vanity project.
So what was Jarvis’ punishment? He got a written reprimand and was relieved of supervisory responsibility over the NPS ethics program. By contrast, if he were an NPS whistleblower he would almost surely face removal.
Unfortunately, this case is not isolated and epitomizes the culture of corruption Jarvis has fostered during his tenure. For example –
Today, Jarvis is flying around the country in corporate jets to drum up a billion-dollar private endowment to help finance NPS Centennial celebrations. This incessant fundraising, like his book, is not particularly effective but certainly is tawdry.
America’s proverbial “Best Idea” should not be “co-branded” with breweries or bartered away in sleazy corporate “partnerships”.
In its centennial year, the Park Service direly needs and deserves new leadership. Help PEER remain an active park guardian.
Sincerely,
Jeff Ruch
Executive Director

1/25-It is beyond my moral compass to understand how some people can treat the families who have lost a loved one. This article exemplifies the horrific way Joe Keller's family has been treated. Something needs to be done!!
I understand when small sheriff's offices have budget constraints. I understand how they may have a small staff and be restricted on their abilities and time. I DO NOT understand how they can lie to a family who has lost a loved one. Read this article and focus on how the Keller's were treated and how they claim the FBI is involved. If this is true, this is the worst news possible for a family, THE WORST. When your only avenue for finding your son is the local sheriff and they won't talk to you, lie about important facts, what are the Keller's to do?http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/local/story/2016/jan/25/could-bones-found-colorado-be-kellers/346394/

Here is a three-month update on missing person cases that appear to match our profile. It is a bit early to make the claim on a few cases, but they are included. We are awaiting autopsy results on these events.
Susan McLean- 61 years
Missing 5/17/15
Walking
Moness Resort-Scotland
Found- Deceased
Susan was vacationing with her family and went for a walk at their resort during a foggy and raining afternoon. She disappeared. There was an extensive search utilizing helicopters, dive teams, marine units, mountain rescue teams and canines. The search did not produce any relevant facts. On Saturday, August 15, a volunteer searcher found Susan’s body. An August 19, 2015 article on WPXI’s website stated the following, “They say her body was found just feet off the trail officers searched just weeks ago. They want to know why and how police missed her body.” There is no ruling on the cause of death or details about her clothing, etc.

Morgan Heimer-22 years
Missing 6/2/15- Grand Canyon National Park, AZ
Hiking
Not Found
Morgan was an English major at the University of Wyoming and had a summer job as a tour guide for white water trips on the Colorado River. He was an outstanding swimmer and competent guide. Morgan’s group of boats pulled the group to the side of the river at a regular stop where they take guests up a side creek. Guests take a short walk to a pool where they jump off boulders into the water. The group was walking back to the boats along the small creek, Morgan was wearing his life preserver and was last in line when he disappeared. There was an extensive search by the National Park Service, nothing was found of Morgan or his equipment.
An employee that worked at the same guide company that Morgan worked contacted me. He explained that the other guides on this trip are completely baffled. The area he disappeared had a small creek with cliff walls on both sides. He stated that it didn’t seem possible that Morgan could disappear as he did.

Sukhjeet Saggu- 20 years
Missing 6/5/15
Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park, BC, Canada
Sukhjeet was with a group of friends walking a large well-known trail from their vehicle at the parking lot to Lindeman Lake. He stated he wanted to run ahead and meet them at the lake. When the friends arrived at the lake, he was not there. The Chilliwack Search and Rescue group was notified along with RCMP.
Just days after the hiker vanished, a helicopter search found his body in a boulder field far off course from the lake trail. Doug Fraser was the SAR supervisor on this event. A June 7, 2015 article from CBC news had this from Doug, “It was very, very strange and difficult to explain why he ended up where he did,” said Fraser. Adding that the boulder field is quite a bit of elevation above the lake and a fair distance from the trail.”
An autopsy showed that Sukhjeet died of blunt head trauma. It was the belief of some that he fell and hit his head. How did he end up in a boulder field? Where did he fall from? This incident matches other cases involving a boulder field.

Wayne Buckley- 73 years
Missing 6/7/15- Wasatch County, UT
Hiking/Camping
Not FoundLaw enforcement officials believe that Wayne was camping somewhere in the area of Wasatch County near the Sleepy Hollow Trailhead. They found his pickup truck at that location. An extensive search couldn’t produce Wayne or his equipment. Wayne has emphysema.
http://gephardtdaily.com/national-international/endangered-provo-man-still-missing-in-wasatch-county/
Deorr Kunz Jr.- 2 Years
Missing 7/10/15- Lemhi County, ID
Camping
Not Found
Deorr was camping with his mom, dad, grandparents and a family friend. His parents went for a short walk thinking that their son was being watched by the grandparents. When they returned, the boy was gone. According to statements made by the Lemhi County sheriff, the family members have been cleared of any criminal involvement. There was a massive search for the boy without finding any evidence of him in the area. Weather did hinder search efforts as it was raining in the days immediately after the disappearance.
I was contacted by a retired USFS employee who lived in the area and kept me updated on the events. They stated that the local newspaper had almost nothing about this event, which the area population thought was strange. The FBI came into the investigation two weeks after Deorr vanished. If you have been reading my “Missing 411” books, the arrival of the FBI seems to coincide with profile points I’ve identified in my books. There has been nothing new on this event in over a month.
The area that Deorr vanished is very, very remote with a rough dirt road. As is stated in this article, it’s almost ridiculous to believe that a human perpetrator drove this single lane road into this region and took Deorr. He hasn’t been found.

Janet Castrejohn- 44 years
Missing 6/19/15
Chiricahua National Monument, AZ
Walking back from restroom
Not Found
Janet was vacationing with her parents in the Chiricahua National Monument under the authority of the National Park Service in southern Arizona. She was walking back from the restroom when she disappeared. A massive search produced nothing. Janet has severe disabilities and has the mental capacity of a 5 year old. She also has impaired eyesight.
As is normal, law enforcement has turned to criminal abduction as a possibility. They were in a remote area when this lady vanished. This is in a geographical cluster zone we have identified. This also occurred in the same area where a national park ranger vanished and was never found. This is the only NPS ranger that vanished and was never located.

Missing 7/4/15
Davison Township, MI
Playing in Park
In my books I have repeatedly shown that victims are often found in an area that had been searched dozens of times, sometimes more. I have also described how many of the victims have some type of disability.
Omarion Humphreys was autistic. He went to Lake Callis with his foster family on July 4. He was last seen playing when he disappeared. The sheriff searched an area around the park and the lake. Two different county sheriff dive teams from two different jurisdictions searched the lake multiple, multiple times. They each used side-scanning sonar and found nothing. It is important to note that this is a fairly new man made lake with a smooth bottom. The park was closed during the search effort.
Six days after Omarion vanished, the lake and park were reopened and his body was found in the lake by swimmers. The sheriff had no clue how his teams missed the body. Parents believe that Omarion was abducted and dumped in the lake. An initial cause of death stated that Omarion drowned. The final autopsy result has not been made public.

Joe Keller- 19 years
Missing 7/23/15- Cornejos County, CO
Jogging
Not Found
Joe was with a family friend traveling across the U.S. He met his parents at Rainbow Trout Lodge in southern CO. This area is very, very remote with no cell or internet connections. At 4:30p.m. on July 23, Joe and his friend went on their usual afternoon run along a dirt road leading away from the lodge. Joe was last in line when he vanished. His friend went back to the lodge and the search started. SAR teams from throughout CO, TN and NM assisted. They didn’t find any evidence of where Joe may have went.
The culmination of many of these events is that law enforcement and family start to think abduction. This is normal and it did happen in this case. The FBI arrived and did consult with law enforcement authorities. Just 25 air miles from where Joe vanished is the disappearance of another young man that I chronicled in my books. He was walking his dog in a forest area when he vanished and was never found.
Joe was a very athletic person. Any idea he would just by chance go off the dirt road and start running through the woods seems not worthy of consideration. There was no evidence of an animal attack. Remember, this is a very, very remote area. The absurd idea that a car is driving around this area looking to abduct someone, alone, no witnesses, also seem unlikely….

Jerold Joseph Williams- 5 years
Missing 8/6/15, 12 miles south of Jacobs Lake, AZ
Found- DeceasedJerold was with his mom and other relatives camping in an area north of the Grand Canyon. In the afternoon on August 6, he was chasing butterflies with his mom behind him when he disappeared. He didn’t respond to calls and a ground search couldn’t locate the boy. There was rainy weather the night after he disappeared. There was a massive formal search by canines and Air Force helicopters with FLIR, they could not locate him. Five days after he vanished, a volunteer searcher was 3.9 air miles from the point he was last seen driving down a dirt road and saw his body 15-20 feet the road. An autopsy report stated he died from exposure the first night.
Jerrold wasn’t found by canines or helicopters with FLIR. He was found 3.9 air miles from the point last seen, meaning he didn’t walk just 3.9 miles. I have read estimates that he walked as much as 10 miles. This is far outside the bounds of all SAR grid guidelines. Is it coincidence that Jerold disappeared in such close proximity to Morgan Heimer? This is the third case in Arizona this summer matching our profile.

6/8- There are several articles that we come across weekly that exemplify the points we profile in our missing person books. This case from Lindeman Lake, BC, is an EXACT match for dozens and dozens of other cases we've profiled in "Missing 411." It gets very frustrating that we can announce our findings, have them be EXACT matches for profiles we've established and see this trend continue. The SAR personnel are even baffled of the facts surrounding this disappearance and body discovery. http://video.theloop.ca/news/watch/hikers-death-a-mystery/4281966092001/#.VXWs41VVhBe

4/8- I've explained in the Missing 411 books that an abnormal number of people that go missing have the following elements involved in their disappearance, the name "Devil" is involved somehow in the location where they disappear, many of the victims have disabilities, they can't remember what happened or don't have the ability to explain, canines can't find the scent of the victim and the victim disappears in a National Park. Each of these items (and more) happened in Luke's disappearance:

Posted 11/18/14
William Clyde “Bill” Martin
During my thirty plus years of investigating and researching criminal and civil issues, there are those times that will never be forgotten. Whether the issue was a young victim, a shaken family member or the loss of a personal friend, moments stick with you forever. The interview of Dennis Martin’s father, Bill Martin that I did with Scott Carpenter is one of those life moments.
I had traveled to Knoxville to meet with Scott and develop a strategy for contacting retired National Park Ranger Dwight McCarter and to discuss approaching Dennis Martins dad. The interview of Dwight was the easy decision, the meeting with Bill Martin was the toughest of decisions. Our research showed that the Martin family had been deceived and outright lied to by the FBI, National Park Service and various reporters. They had concealed facts and tried to keep Bill Martin in the dark on many issues, but Bill was persistent. He stayed on the mountain for weeks where his child disappeared. When most searchers and volunteers had left, Bill couldn’t. He continued to politely push authorities for answers. He even hiked the mountains with Dwight McCarter trying to make sense of lies told to him by authorities.
Imagine you lost your six-year old boy in the mountains and you turn to authorities for direction and assistance and you soon learn they aren’t telling the truth, they don’t want you asking questions and they appear to directly deceive. At the one moment in life when we need the governments help, you can’t trust them. Where would you turn, maybe the press? Bill soon learned that some of the reporters were mere mouthpieces for NPS and the FBI. The frustration that this man must’ve felt is beyond comprehension.
I won’t go into the specific details of Dennis’ disappearance, I covered that thoroughly in Missing 411-Eastern United States. I will tell you that I still get teary eyed writing about this incident. I knew that the Martin family had made a decision not to talk to the press about their son’s disappearance. There had been dozens of reporters over the years that had attempted to talk with the Martin family. All were politely rebuffed.
This was one case that I had researched and at the time I knew more about it then probably anyone outside the Martin family. I knew for a fact that lies had been told. We had the evidence. To this day, there isn’t a television station or newspaper in the Knoxville area that will tell the true story of Dennis disappearance.
I learned after years of interviewing people, sometimes it’s easier to drop by and ask for the interview then to pre-plan and have a set time and place. Scott and I went to the Martin house, knocked on the front door and Bill Martin answered. I can tell you with absolute certainty that he and his wife were still grieving, 43+ years after the disappearance. I explained who I was and asked for a few moments of his time. He was extremely polite and initially refused until I told him that I knew as much about his sons disappearance as probably anyone but him. He stepped onto the front porch and we started to talk. That front door conversation confirmed beyond a shadow of any doubt that the Martin family had been deceived, horrifically. Again, I won’t go into the specifics of that conversation, you can read about it, this is about something else.
I remember that Scott and I thanked Bill immensely for taking the time with us and we plodded our way back to the car. I swear, I did everything possible to not start crying on their driveway. There is NO FAMILY on this Earth that deserves what the Martin’s suffered, NONE. To think that so many entities failed them is reprehensible. To say that I understand the grief that Mr. and Mrs. Martin carried with then their entire life wouldn’t be true, I can’t imagine.
On October 14 this year, Bill Martin died. I didn’t hear about his death until mid November when I was again in Great Smoky Mountain National Park with Scott. I don’t like going to funerals, I wish I had gone to Bill’s. To Douglas, Sarah and Michael (Ed), you had a great dad who went the distance, asked the tough questions and we all pray is reunited with Dennis.
A life moment that will never be forgotten……

9/23-A new interview with BBC Reporter Howard Hughes on his show, Paranormal Radio:http://theunexplained.tv/paranormal-podcasts/edition-175-missing-411-update-david-paulides
9/22-We have been following this case since day #1. The case baffles police because: The boy disappeared quickly, the witness (sister) can't explain what happened, he was visiting his grandparents, property backs up to a forest at the end of a street, no tracks found in the woods, canines could not find a scent, nothing unusual reported by neighbors, thousands of searchers have found nothing. This case has MANY elements which we have written about in many of the "Missing 411" books. The police are making statements that are unusual for law enforcement and showing their drutration. They have done a very thorough job and their words express their own disbelief of how this case has unfolded. http://www.camdencourier.com.au/story/2575870/william-tyrell-case-baffles-police/
9/17-We have been following this case since Day#1. The William Tyrell case has many, many elements which we have documented in our books. Canines haven't picked up a scent. Boy disappears while visiting grandparents. Sister (witness) cannot offer details of event. Police are baffled by the sudden disappearance and complete lack of clues. The boy is wearing bright colored clothing. There is a complete abscence of ANY clues. The police get frustrated and now start to make statements along the lines of abduction.Note, this house sits at the end of a street and borders a forest, a very, very unlikely spot for an abductor to take a child.http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/search-for-william-tyrell-expanded-to-areas-he-might-have-been-taken-to-by-car-20140918-10iiwn.html
9/5- This article represents the one year anniversary of the disappearance of Hildegard Hendrickson. It addresses many of the concerns I wrote about this case in "Missing 411- The Devil's in the Detail"(http://www.canammissing.com/missing-411--the-devils-.html ). The physical similarities between Hildegard and two women who went missing in Craters of the Moon (same book) cannot be ignored. http://www.seattleweekly.com/home/952845-129/hunting-the-mushroom-hunter-a-year
9/2- Here is another video from Joel Kostuch as he visits locations where people discussed in our books have disappeared. This time he goes to the Hanna Flats Campground in Southern California and the disappearance of David Gonazalez, case profiled in Missing 411-Western United States:http://www.vistaramic.com/pano/missing/hannaflats/Big%20Bear%20Camp.html

7/18- Another missing older woman from a high peak area. We first wrote about Karen Sykes missing from Mt. Rainier, now Sylvia Apps, 69 years old missing from Comox Valley, BC. Watch the news segment and pay special attention to where her backpack, iphone, pole, etc were found. After reading our books, you can make an educated guess on where she'd be found:http://www.cheknews.ca/mount-washington-search/
7/17- Someone else has realized the there is an association between "Devil" and disappearances. This is a segment of "Decoded" that talkes about the Devil's Graveyard in Alaska and a rate of disappearances 16X normal:http://www.history.com/shows/brad-meltzers-decoded/videos/brad-meltzers-decoded-devils-graveyard-alaska?m=5189717d404fa&s=All&f=1&free=false

The death of Kaitlin Goldstein is an EXACT match for the profile we are following: Competitive Runner, Intellect, Attending a Conference, Found at Bottom of a Cliff, Death Attributed to fall. If you haven't read our last book, this may be confusing to you:http://www.inquisitr.com/1318703/mit-graduate-student-kaitlin-goldstein-found-dead-28-year-old-student-fell-off-cliff-in-india/

6/28-David Paulides was interviewed by Brian Alvarez. The interview focuses on Washington and Oregon cases and a detailed conversation about Mike Herdman. Paulides made a prediction on where Herdman would be found. Listen to the show and hear Alvarez' stunned comments about the prediction:http://www.afterdarkradioshow.com/
6/27-Firefighter Mike Herdman's body found. Located high above where he disappeared and in an area that searchers never believed he would travel. Cause of death, unknown....http://ktla.com/2014/06/27/mike-herdman-firefighter-missing-arcadia-los-padres-body-found/
6/24- Our organization has been involved in many, many strange coincidences in the last several years, here is another. This is an article about the geographical region where Arcadia Firefighter Mike Herdman disappeared. The article was written three years ago and obviously has nothing to do with the firefighter and is an article we HAVE NEVER seen before today. Read the title of the article and then read the geographical names with "Devil" that are listed. We sometimes feel that were in some type of time warp.....http://www.craigrcarey.net/2011/10/the-devil-is-in-the-details/
6/22-It appears they have found Karen Sykes (Outdoor Writer) on Mt Rainier. Other articles have stated that she would be the last person to disappear on a trail. Read the article carefully and focus on where they found the body. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/body-found-likely-missing-mount-rainier-hiker-n137641

6/17-It's still too early to say if this case fits the profile, but there are elements that are suspicious. If someone lags behind you on a trail, NEVER let them hike alone.http://touch.latimes.com/#section/-1/article/p2p-80530620/

6/14-
A 9-year old girl disappeared yesterday at 12:15pm from Samuel P. Taylor Park in Northern California. Ida Rothschild was playing with other children in the campsite when she vanished. An extensive search through the night has produced no results.http://abc7news.com/family/9-year-old-girl-missing-in-samuel-p-taylor-state-park/113025/
The location of this incident is two miles from Point Reyes National Park and the disappearance of two women we chronicled in “Missing 411-North America and Beyond." It is also three miles north of Mt. Tamalpais and the disappearance of two women who went missing and were later found under very unusual conditions, deceased. All victims were females. Let’s hope that Ida is found quickly.http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_25620852/after-deaths-two-hikers-mt-tam-marin-investigators
In a very odd set of coincidences, as Ida goes missing, a wild fire starts inside this small park. There is no stated cause of the fire, but officials state it got its start near power lines.http://www.marinij.com/marinnews/ci_25959841/samuel-p-taylor-state-park-fire-95-percent?source=pkg

5/23- This is a May 22, 2005 case where a boy disappeared from a bridge while fishing. The news initially reported that the boy fell in the creek, this was incorrect. The sheriff immediately put up wire fences downstream, a body was never located. The parents indicated the boy was out of their sight just for a minute, then gone. You can tell by the photos that this was not a rapidly flowing creek. This incident happened 20 miles southeast of the disappearance of Justin Stahly described in "Missing 411- North America and Beyond", page 175-176-http://www.canammissing.com/missing-411-north-america.html) Breighton has never been found.:http://iowacoldcases.org/case-summaries/breiton-ackerman/
5/22- A news broadcast from yesterday explaining the Dennis Martin disappearance. Fairly accurate but leaving out vital information. We did interview Dwight McCarter and he told us that he believed that Dennis was abducted. The information about the Green Berets training nearby is interesting but not factual. We reviewed every FOIA document and there is not one note about who called them and authorized their team to land by helicopter inside the park. They wouldn't work with NPS personnel, they searched alone. The segment does not include an interview with Mr. Martin, something we were able to accomplish. He had been lied to so many times by the press, park service and others, he doesn't trust any of them. The longest chapter in "Missing 411- Eastern Unitred States" is the section on Dennis. Here is the segment: http://www.wbir.com/story/news/local/2014/05/22/dennis-martin-missing-45-years/9405607/

4/30-In "Missing 411-Eastern United States" I wrote a lengthy section about the disappearance of Victor Shoemaker from Augusta, WV in May of 1994. I explained that it appeared that the cousins that were with him knew something more then what they were saying. The behavior of the tracking dogs was also quite unusual. A news article about the incident was just released and highlights the same concerns I did in my chapter about Victor: http://news.yahoo.com/parents-want-sons-1994-w-va-disappearance-solved-170223616.html?soc_src=mediacontentstory
4/29- In "Missing 411 Western United States" I wrote about the highly unusual disappearance in 2005 of Nita Mayo from Donnell's Vista Lookout just outside Yosemite. Her keys, purse, etc were found in the car, Nita has never been found. It appears that lightning has struck twice. Patty Sue Tolhurst (46 years) told friends that she was going hiking (4/20) and vanished. Searchers found her vehicle in the same turnout at NIta Mayo. Patty's personal items were found in her vehicle.http://www.modbee.com/2014/04/24/3308514/woman-missing-east-of-sonora.html

4/4- Indiana Physicians Body Found-We highlighted this case when it happened. The group he was hiking with was taking a break. Dr. McGrogan told them he'd meet them up the trail at their next intended stop. The snow trail in this area is extremely well defined and is compacted snow from numerous day hikers. He wasn't at that meeting point. If you go off trail in this area, it'e extremely easy to follow you because there was snow in the area. A 10 day search did not find the physician. The below article states he was found 4 1/2 miles off the trail below an ice fall, an area the article states had been thoroughly searched.http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/authorities-say-body-found-in-eagle-county-may-be-missing-indiana-hiker-james-mcgrogan04032014

This is why we study history.
In “Missing 411-North America and Beyond” I wrote about the May 2, 1944 disappearance of three-year old Ronald Boggs from his Portsmouth, OH rural home. He was playing in the yard with the family dog when he vanished. There were one thousand searchers that scoured the Ohio countryside for 33 hours. He was found far outside the grid, four miles away. Portsmouth sits on the Ohio River.
Fast forward to yesterday and the disappearance of two-year old Gage Scaff from South Webster, Ohio, eight miles northeast of Portsmouth. Parallel associated factors between the cases:
Proximity to water
Both victims were boys
Ages 2 and 3 years
Both disappeared with dogs
Both disappeared very quickly and didn’t responded to calls
Both were found four miles from residence
**When you watch the attached video and the woman describes where Gage was found, notice there is a barbed wire fence surrounding her property. How did two-year old Gage get over that fence?

12/20-David Paulides' interview regarding "Missing 411" on Veritas Radio with Mel Fabregas-http://www.veritasradio.com/guests/2013/12dec/VS-131219-dpaulides.php
Mel's Review of the Missing 411- book series:
David Paulides' meticulous research into the thousands of mysterious disappearances in U.S. national parks should be an object lesson on how the paranormal should be investigated. Paulides does what most paranormal researchers fail to do: First, he examines a phenomenon that is truly unique, without defaulting to the unofficial canon of New Age explanations for such, and second, his research is so thorough, objective, and vetted that it cannot be debunked. Many paranormal researchers try to explain one unknown with another unknown. Paulides does not do this. Others have speculated that the disappearances were caused by Bigfoot, or "aliens." Paulides refuses to go there. He seems to intuitively understand that when we are confronted by a mystery that has no logical, physical explanation, a phenomenon that seemingly originates outside of our known reality, one that defies physical laws, then any attempt to define or understand it will fail--we simply lack the conceptual vocabulary. Paulides has done a great service by bringing forth his Missing 411 books and showing the reluctance of the National Parks Service to come clean on the records of missing persons, and he shows the feds are more interested in covering their derriares than doing what's right. There seems to be a pattern here.
12/4-We've kept the community informed about the National Park Service wanting to charge the CanAm Missing Project outrageous fees for a variety of documents that are supposedly available through public access and FOIA. They have continued this practice with almost an escalation of fees. I won't go into the numbers and issues at this time as we are preparing a special presentation about this at some later date. I will publicize a website that is owned and operated by a retired NPS ranger who is willing to tell the truth about FOIA and the NPS. The site explains how the NPS used questionable processes in accordance with FOIA. Remember, this is one of their own!!http://www.schundler.net/TheDarkSide.htm
12/3-We aren't the only organization having difficulty getting documents from the National Park Service. The following article exemplifies the same issues that we've faced even though the NPS touts "Transparency.":http://www.nationalparkstraveler.com/2010/02/interior-department-wants-transparency-foia-process-impedes-goal5366
11/20-Many of you have read our escapades with the National Park Service in our attempt to get documents supposedly available under the Freedom of Information act (FOIA). Now, an insider (A park ranger) has come forward and given an insiders perspective of the obstructions and inflation of fees he experienced when he filed FOIA's. Trust us about something, the NPS is still standing in the way of getting documents, life has not gotten any easier!! Let's applaud Bruce for coming forward!!http://www.schundler.net/TheDarkSide.htm

9/3- We received the below email from a reader of the eastern version. This is an especially compelling email because it's from an experienced climber and hiker, someone who knows the woods. We are posting here as we believe its something everyone should read!!
Review of Missing 411-Eastern Version
Allow me to first provide some background. My name is Jesse Boyd; I am 37 years old; and I live in North Carolina on the edge of the mountains east of the Great Smokies. I am an experienced outdoorsman and mountaineer and have had the privilege of summiting nearly 500 peaks in a variety of locales around the world. I have spent a lot of time in the Andes, the Himalayas, and above the Arctic Circle, as well as in the Sierra Nevada, the Rockies, and the Southern Appalachians. With regard to the latter, there are 103 actual closed contours (i.e. “peaks”) that exceed 6,000 feet (as opposed to the 40 official “Southern Sixers”), and most of these summits are off or distant from established trails. I have summited 102 of these, mostly solo, and soon plan to slog out to Mr. Hardison deep in the Smokies to complete this quest. To my knowledge, although the Carolina Mountain Club recognizes, as of October 2008, 167 completers of the official Southern Sixer challenge (i.e. the 40 official summits), none have ever tagged all 103 closed contours (40 official peaks + 63 sub-peaks). In pursuing this goal, I have been forced to spend many hours over many miles bushwhacking off-trail in the thick underbrush of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Literally, I have walked all over that park, particularly east of Newfound Gap; and most of that time I have been alone. Time frames have also had me out slogging after dark on numerous occasions.
A little more than a week ago, I saw Baldwin and Grubb's "Unsolved Disappearances in the Great Smoky Mountains" on a shelf in a visitor's center near Fontana Dam. Intrigued, I thumbed through it for a few minutes and made a mental note of the Martin, Gibson, and Melton cases, something I had never even heard about. Long story short, I returned home and did a little digging and came across your books. Immediately, I ordered the Eastern 411 text and devoured it less than two days after receiving it (I couldn't believe how fast I received it via media mail from NABS). Now, I find myself particularly intrigued by the Geoffrey Hague, Mark Hanson, and Brad Lavies cases.
Back in November, while training for a summit attempt on Aconcagua (the highest mountain in South America and the highest mountain in the world outside the Himalayas), I did some slogging in the Great Smokies with a full backpack. Starting at the Alum Cave trailhead, I made it to the summit ridge of Mt. Leconte in less than 90 minutes and then bushwhacked nearly a mile out a ridge to tag West Point, an unofficial 6,000 ft. peak on the western end of the LeConte massif. This was some of the thickest and nastiest underbrush I have ever navigated, not to mention the knee-deep snow in places; and that night I commented to my father about how the venture was the worst of any of my Appalachian Sixer bushwhacks. During this particular slog, my GPS was acting strangely and I couldn't get a proper directional bearing. For this reason, I became a bit disoriented and found myself in the very area where Brad Lavies was found in 1993 above Rainbow Falls. I am simply baffled as to how that young man ended up in that area. The terrain is simply horrible, and I myself had to turn around and circumnavigate on several occasions just to find the the Rainbow Falls Trail because it was impossible to proceed in front of me. The Lavies case defies all logic in my mind.
That same day, after bushwhacking to West Point, I slogged over Mt. Leconte and followed the Boulevard Trail all the way to the Appalachian Trail junction, the place where Geoffrey Hague disappeared in 1970. I arrived at this junction after dark without using my headlamp because of dying batteries. I walked the 3 miles back to Newfound Gap in the dark, the exact same route Hague's Boy Scout Troop took the day he went missing. I simply cannot understand how the boy lost his way. I anticipated trouble that night finding the AT in the dark and was surprised at how visible and discernible the trail junction actually appeared. I remarked later that night about how I wished all the junctions in the park were as obvious as the Boulevard/AT. Before reaching the AT and at dusk, I had ventured off the Boulevard Trail to summit Anakeesta Knob and another unnamed 5,000 foot peak. Again, it was horrible bushwhacking that left me scratched up. Both of these knobs were above the drainage where Hague's body was eventually found. There is simply no way or no reason why someone would leave the Boulevard Trail in that vicinity and drop down into that rugged drainage. As an experienced bushwhacker, I wouldn't have done it without serious concerns about how to get back out. If the boy were simply lost and on the wrong trail, it would have made far more sense for him to have continued on the Boulevard Trail out to Leconte or to have just turned around. One would really have to work to get into that drainage from where he went missing.
Several times while out bagging Southern Sixers, I have spent the night in the Tricorner Knob shelter near where Mark Hanson disappeared in 1975. Again, I am baffled. The AT coming down from Mt. Guyot is a pleasant downhill and would have been easy to navigate, even in the snow. The foliage is extremely thick on both sides of the trail in that spot, and the terrain is steep up to the left and steep down to the right (if heading toward Tricorner). The only way to go is forward. There is no way Hanson lost his way and left that trail voluntarily. Several years ago, I bushwhacked in the very vicinity of where Hanson went off trail. I was trying to find an old Guyot summit trail that the NPS had decommissioned some years before, intrigued by how quickly the wilderness can overtake an unmaintained trail and erase any evidence of its former existence. I eventually found the true summit of Guyot but was badly scratched up by the thick balsam. It took an hour for me to walk half a mile back to the AT as I literally had to crawl on my hands and knees in places and cut down branches just to make a way to proceed. Again, I am baffled.
I have spent many, many hours and miles off trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in some of its remotest corners. Most of the time, I have been alone and out after dark. Never once have I encountered a problem or anything I would deem strange. In fact, the times I have been out near Tricorner Knob, I have never even seen a ranger or another hiker. There is no way a typical run-of-the-mill abductor would be up in that area looking for someone to prey upon when there is no guarantee anyone would be out there in the first place. How people like Hanson, Hague, and Davies go missing and are found in these areas, I will never understand. How little Dennis Martin or Trenny Gibson vanished without a trace, I will never understand. As for the scratches and cuts noted on the bodies of many people found in these cases, I do, however, understand. I can't help but recall how scratched up my arms and face have become after bushwhacking in the Southern Appalachians. Going off trail, or being carried off trail, in the thick balsam of these mountains will definitely do that to you.
I look forward to soon obtaining and devouring your Western 411 book as well as the North America and Beyond text. The Crater Lake, Mt. Shasta, Yosemite, and Mt. Rainier cases are intriguing to me also because like the Smokies, I have spent a lot of time in these parks and have actually been in the vicinity of some of the places where folks have gone missing. I have tried slogging cross-country in deep fresh snow drifts in both Crater Lake and Yosemite, much like Charles McCullar would have had to do to get to the spot where his body was eventually found. I'm telling you it is impossible, even with snow shoes. Once, in the Sierra Nevada, a friend and I bailed on a long-planned climb of Mt. Lyell simply because we were post-holing in the snow up to our waist with snowshoes. It would have taken us days to get to the base of Yosemite’s Mt. Lyell in those conditions.
Sorry to have rambled on so. Thank-you for your thorough research in these matters. No doubt, it was a monumental task. The Eastern 411 book was a great read, and I look forward to getting my hands on the others. I really appreciate how you refrained from drawing conclusions or making hypotheses as to the causes of these disappearances. You simply let the facts speak for themselves. On that note, I also enjoyed your interview with George Knapp of Coast to Coast AM. The information you have provided will definitely affect how I behave going forward in wilderness areas. No more camping overnight alone, and you better believe that my children will always be in my line of sight. Chills run up my spine when I think about how I, along with my two daughters (9 and 5 years old, both blonde hair), were hiking in the Great Balsams near the Smokies a couple of months ago. I found myself ahead of them on the trail about 100 feet as they came up slowly behind. We even did a little bushwhacking out to a couple sub-peaks of Richland Balsam; and at times, they were 20-50 feet behind me in thick rock-strewn areas. At the time, It didn't even cross my mind that there was any risk in this. How easily one of them could have disappeared just like little Dennis Martin. After reading your book, never again will they be out of my sight in the woods. Scary thoughts for a parent.
God Bless,
Jesse Boyd
