I grew up in this area, there are caves and holes all over the place, abandoned wells, etc, I was 11 when Dennis Martin disappeared and remember it vividly, since I have grown up and thought about this, I believe that he fell into one of these caves or holes, it doesn’t take much time for leaves and overgrowth to cover a particular area, his body is still there covered in feet of dirt and leaves that have accumulated over the many years since he disappeared.

[@arabellabaldwin7764]

That makes more sense than any other theory about Dennis' disappearance. There is a photo, supposedly showing the last place he was seen, and it is a field with trees, shrubs, brush, and open space. If Dennis tripped and fell, he would have rolled downhill, but in view of the rest of the family, (IF the photo is correct which may be a big "IF"). It is hard to understand how he could have gotten lost, as his family should have been in view, especially as they started searching for him within minutes. But falling into an old well, cavern, or fissure in the ground would explain his disappearance, and - if he was knocked unconscious by the fall - why he didn't hear searchers calling for him.

[@davemccage7918]

I’m I the only one that oddly wants to go missing in the woods? Seems like a good time!

[@robonator2945]

I really feel like you'd have to fall down an incredibly deep hole incredibly carefully to actually not be found with any sort of vaguely timely response. (when your approximate location is known) Even if we ignore sniffer dogs that should be able to find the body easily unless the hole is unfathomably deep, you'd also have to avoid crushing, breaking, or otherwise disturbing vegetation and such nearby which would both uncover the hole *_and_* lead people to it. Combine that with the fact that his general area would be known and a response started timely enough that the body wouldn't have been completely decayed/covered and any foliage distruption wouldn't have regrown and it's really hard to just write all of it off as just "he fell into a hole" as if it explains things. Is it *_possible?_* Yes, but even so those are some pretty major caveats. Falling into a hole definitely can make someone go missing, but generally that's the case when their location is unknown, there is no timely response, etc. When it's recent and the area you're working in is already fairly narrow though it'd have to be an incredibly unlucky hole for that to happen.

[@carlacook5181]

@@robonator2945 the hole wouldn’t necessarily have to be deep, remember that he was a small child, if he had fallen and broken a leg, his back or neck, really any hole no matter how deep would have done it, like I said I grew up in this area and I know what it is like, he could even have crawled under a rock ledge, a snake could have bitten him, really I guess anything could have happened, I know he was scared at the end, those mountains get dark before the sun goes down .

He heard something that sounded like a pained scream very far off. It could have been anything. Have you guys heard the kind of weird noises mountain lions can make? Sometimes it literally sounds like a woman getting assaulted or a child screaming. He had his family with him. Why would he go towards a possible source of danger when he has children with him?

[@thebernice6062]

The Green Berets involvement strikes me as the kind of nonsense a new commander would come up with as a way to combine a public affairs stunt and a training exercise. Green Berets have a skillset that is insular to themselves and that is usually classified so their tactics (and identities) can't be studied by adversaries. So, it makes sense that they would want to search in an area with no press. Their comm gear also would not be compatible with any other agency, it would operate on totally different frequencies (it was probably encrypted too). Coordinating comms is notoriously difficult even inside the military, there's no chance they could talk with civilian searchers at the time unless they were given radios by the searchers. I think it was well intentioned, but probably unhelpful (possibly even a hinderance) to have the Green Berets involved. The only SOF unit I would want assisting in a civilian SAR op would be USAF PJs, SAR is their mission and they are trained to work well with others.

[@standingwatchinarizona]

Nah. Green Berets just don't go off on search rescues for kids who go missing . Otherwise they would never be at base. Something going on there. And it had nothing to do with training. Their deployment would require more than a unit commander to approve such a mission.

The Green Berets preform search and rescue missions for downed pilots behind enemy lines, using Dinnis as a stand-in for the downed pilot and the civi search groups as stand-ins for enemy soldiers looking for the pilot they just shot down makes for good training. It can also then be used as a publicity stunt to help increase recruitment, especially if they found him. Additionally, the rescue plan had Dinnis been found, called for Green Berets to fly into his location and extract him in an airlift by helicopter as that was the most effective way to get him to medical treatment should he be found alive.

The Green Berets are easily explained. Green Berets train for a mission called CSAR. Combat Search and Rescue. Looking for lost military personnel in combat environments, like pilots who have been shot down. CSAR missions involve searching an area under control of the enemy while avoiding contact with the enemy. This would have been an opportunity for them to train this mission while assisting in the search for Dennis, using the other search parties as representatives of an enemy force and evading them.

[@ThatGuy182545]

@@robertnunneley100 Might not have been there for them to find. I suspect that he either fell into something (a well, a cave, a crevasse, something) or was abducted. He just disappeared too quickly and too completely for anything else. Also the CSAR mission is conducted with the searchers assuming that the people they’re looking for are evading the enemy, but want to be found by friendly forces. Dennis was a small child. He wouldn’t have been following the normal escape and evasion tactics that a lost soldier or downed pilot would.

As much as I enjoy the lodge set, it really would help to follow along I feel. Maybe move him a bit to the right of the frame and leave a dedicated notes area to his left where you can leave the main points up. Maps and locations of findings etc mainly.

[@bigangenbygang]

Honestly, the idea that this was a simple case of a kidnapping by a predator is the most likely. His body is probably still out there, undiscovered. Maybe discarded in a cave or under dense brush. Might go with some friends to take a look. I'm not too far. Good excuse to wander the woods for a while.

Too many people, including Paulides, seem to be completely ignorant of the existence of NG SF, and that they commonly provide support and strategic assistance in domestic operations like a search and rescue. 19th/20th SFG have resources and budgets that need to be used and they find the most productive ways of doing so. It's not that deep, NG SF guys aren't tier one super soldiers hunting down child-snatching cryptids like a hollywood movie. They helped out to check a box on their training block and then went back to their normal 9-5's. Too many people just straight up do not understand SOF at all.

I gotta say, your newfound scrutiny of David bodes well with me. Your channel introduced me to his book, and I was eager to read it, but the more I did the more I found his work a bit lackluster in terms of sources. I was a student at the time, and had a lot of databases available to me, so I would check every source of wahtever book I was studying cause I just love knowin stuff. You'd be surprised how many sources people site aren't entirely credible. Your videos started to dissappoint me, partially because I'm aware how many evangelicles attribute bigfoot to an angel of sorts. Not to say religious affiliation makes me dislike folks, just that I start to scrutinize their work a bit more when they mark certain boxes. When people reference David I get a bit skeptical, so I was very pleased to see that such a big youtuber started to fact check him with such an even hand. I might get shouted down from forum posts a bit less now hahaha

[@austin_bennett]

My best guess based on the 2 videos is there's an illegal moonshine still within the park rangers know about & possibly took a cut out of. The person who accessed the previously blocked off-road could possibly be a co - conspiriter in the moonshine operation or simply stumbled onto the operation which leaves the whole sighting of the person being either a misdirect or an outright sighting of one of the individuals involved. Why Denis in particular was targeted is curious because if it was moonshiners it's really bold to go after a random kid, unless it was a targeted hit. I don't know enough to further speculate, but illegal moonshineing could be one of the reasons for the car & weird sighting of a person trying to remain hidden

[@dangerclose6303]

A still working in the Smoky Mountains is like saying “somewhere downtown, someone is selling weed”. It is Very Common both in and out of those mountains. However, most Shiners do not carry firearms. Similar to Burglary the penalties go way up if you carry a firearm. Both Shiners and burglars run, instead of fight. Source: Many in my family have been in the production of illegal alcohol in 3 different states.

[@austin_bennett]

@dangerclose6303 the fact it's common is why I think it's highly likely a moonshiner who at the very least tried to remain hidden, the alternate being a pot grower. It partially explains the FBI involvement because that's kinda been their thing since prohibition. Carrying a firearm likely isn't even required because most woodsman, & I'd imagine moonshiners too, likely carry some kind of knife but realistically we're taking about a kid so as sad as it is to say it doesn't take much physically. I'm still puzzled as to the proximity from his family because if they're not much farther ahead snatching a kid in broad daylight yards away from his family is way too unnecessary of a risk even if they got really close

@@austin_bennett Shiners would be much more likely to just return a boy to his parents. They are all locals. And it would be the ATF called if illegal alcohol was suspected ( by the FBI ). It’s entirely likely that Shiners would have an axe or hatchet handy for wood splitting, but by ‘69 they should be cooking on propane. Now Grow Spots like you mention are much more likely to get violent, as those are usually not run by locals.

[@angiadcock8196]

[@CatsRidingHorses]

what if the terrain the green berets were focusing on simply worked best for whatever training objective they were aiming for? eg say they brough an expert on a certain topic in to train them for a certain time period; simultaneously this kid has gone missing, so they look at the nearby terrain and figure they can kill two birds with one stone... I know this is a specific assumption, but I've never once seen a solved "mystery" which didn't have some prosaic outcome like this

[@frustrateduser9933]
