I first read about this case in an excerpt from an essay on the Time-Life book about the Deserts. This excerpt was written by none other than Edward Abbey. The article mentioned that the last evidence of her other than the orange peels was a note she signed on the bull pasture trail register. This note said she was wearing a yellow windbreaker and to say hello if you saw her across the way. I was always fascinated about this and actually wrote a song about her. Thanks for honoring her in this video.

Yes I read that book too.

[@Rom3_29]

Small caves and searchers getting spooked. Reminds me a KZbin lecture I listened few years ago. Speaker told his experiences while searching caves. He mentioned how sometimes he would clearly hear woman’s voice calling help coming deeper in the cave. As he approach the area where he thought voice came from. Voice would move deeper in the cave. That creeped him out and he would exit the cave. Once he was with his friend looking for old mine and tunnels. Last tunnel he entered, while his friend waited outside. Tunnel was short, but as he exited the from other end. He was somewhere else and it took him awhile, maybe 30 minutes, to find his way back. When he finally was out. He found his friend, who told him. Was about to call help as he has been gone for almost four hours.

[@prarieborn6458]

I had a friend who told me about having a similar experience in a city park when she was a child. she crawled into a thicket, under the branches of a shrub growing on a rocky mound. while playing hide and seek or exploring.. she said she found herself in another world..under the shrub… spread out into a cave or tunnel. she backed out from under the shrub. later she went back to the park and looked for that place under the same shrubs..but it was gone. it is a common theme in Irish folk legends about ‘Fairy Mounds’ and people being taken by the Fairies..and returned years later The ‘fairies’ are a euphemisim for the “Fair Folk”. a race of super humans that appeared in Ireland ages ago. and still appear & disappear from out of a mound or under the roots of a tree. Also this story about Carol Turner brings to mind stories of abductions from our National Parks. The abductions seem to target highly intelligent, educated people , scientists and researchers. Very spooky.. i wonder if the Search teams felt as though they were being Watched.

[@vertubenflugen2057]

I've heard that spooky feeling out in the woods referred to as "Sylvan dread" and yeah. Having experienced it, it literally pins you to the spot and I'm not brave enough to have ever pushed it! I guess you have no choice but to be brave when you're s&a! It seems to happen randomly to me the few times it's happened. I think maybe it's just primordial instinct alerting you to something.

[@lindasue8719]

I agree. We might not be able to **name** what their instincts were picking up on, but it's a real thing and if more than one of them was sensing it something was up.

Like that username. Pretty unique.

[@phuckindrummer5537]

@@easygoer1234 thank you, when the Internet first started, I used the name hundreds of people had called me by, because I was a professional percussionist, and often I would fill in for a gig when I never met the band members before, I would just get a call stating our drummer went to jail, or arrived drunk, or is a missing person; many varieties of reasons that the drummer didn't show up for a concert, or filming, studio session etc. Personally I arrived asap wherever the gig was in southern California and I would hear some band members saying "where's the Phuckindrummer" and I would say, "here I am" almost never did anyone ask my name, or give me credit on recordings, I just got paid a standard $50.00 minimum to $500.00 maximum per evening of performance. Never got a complaint (a couple of barkeeps mentioned I looked way too young to work in a bar) but none stopped me from playing ever. I would read quickly any music written (usually piano) ask a question or two and perform in front of, (20 was a minimum, live auditoriums 20,000) the audience as if I was an original member of the band. Never did I reveal my name or that the real drummer could not make this performance. I have been called a Phuckindrummer more often than by my given name of Terry, so I just kept it and used it thousands of occasions. I'm in my mid 60's now and professionally retired, with health concerns preventing me from playing as professionally as I have always guaranteed. Not bad for a life choice, at age 3 years I placed a tip jar in front of myself and performed "any song, any piece of music, in any style" on a hand made percussion kit made from my bicycle with training wheels and had bongos, triangle, cymbals, wood blocks, along with I played the seat, frame, pedals, entirely an original act back in 1963, I made more money in tips than my mom made working full time as a barkeep. Wow those were the days, of course I had been arrested 12 times by the time I was 11 years old, shit yeah the 60's were a blast and a bummer all at once. Anyways I had to have my record sealed when I turned 18 or I couldn't have gotten a job anywhere with a record like that, assault on a peace officer, attempted murder of a peace officer, causing a riot, the list goes on and on, and I gave my mom my word, she made me swear to her in jail when I was 5 years old, she said " give me your word, that you will never speak to police officers ever, only remain silent" I said "I swear, I will do just as you ask of me mom". Far out, I've really been rambling, I'm sorry brother, I've gotten old and talk too much lol. I wish you peace always, Terry (Phuckindrummer)

Bryan, you are a real asset not just to the loose community of those who research and/or remember the missing, but also to KZbin and humanity itself. I'm not kidding. Your moral clarity and generosity of spirit gleams through your every upload. And while I'm very happy that you donate to SAR causes, I really hope you do prioritise yourself first. What you do on this channel is a real job, you deserve to be well compensated so that you can keep following your instincts and sharing your amazing results with us always. Prioritise yourself - your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health will and should always come before any other considerations. You're sounding great - I'm not saying you're not, but I know that charitable people such as yourself often give more than they should because they want to help more. But you help the missing, your audience, and everyone the most when you are at minimum comfortable and content, if not actually happy (happiness is elusive and more transient, I find. Contentment is a good bar to be at more generally) .... Ok that's enough of my ramble. As for this video, I have to say, if the SAR professionals are spooked - particularly if any of said people are native to the land and have spiritual insight - if they're spooked, I'm spooked. Even here almost 50 years later. Sending love to everyone in this awesome community Bryan has built with his hard work. Thank you Bryan!!

This is why it is essential that you tell someone - friend or family member exactly where you are going and when you will be back. I would never leave a note like that on my car. That being said, this was 1971 and people were probably much more naive and 'innocent' back then. We really didn't know how much went on back then. I feel sad for the woman, but also for her family, most of who are now dead as they never got closure. If there is an afterlife, maybe they are now in a place where they have the answers.

Needless to say, i won't be returning to that cesspool. Not to mention how much this creepy speculation harms those left behind.

1971. No drones or advanced technology to search. Never. Never leave a note on your car announcing “I am a solo hiker” …. just imagine what a bad person might do with this info. If they couldn’t find her and her car was left behind, one possibility is she was taken. Also, she was unprepared to be there at all if she was asking a ranger for trail ideas off the fly and had only oranges to sustain herself.

I agree. A lot of vans running around in 1971. Easy to grab someone and drive away as the world is searching the trail. Her note info would make a parking lot ambush easy.

I left home at age 17 to go to Fairbanks all b/c I had a free ticket. The place I was staying was a good 20 miles or more out in the bush. One day I just wanted to go wander the forest. I hiked alone, having no clue the dangers of Alaska. A moose ran me up a tree for several hours. That was the most scared and most danger I ran into. So I know what you mean. How I made it to 55 idk. I merely lucked the hell out also. Plus I'm female and petite. My folks were not pleased, as I snuck out at night to meet a taxi to take me to the airport lol.

[@summergirl2782]

This is such a strange case. Did she have a premonition? She left a note on her windshield and another on the park registry to look for her if she went missing. We need to pay attention to these feelings. I live in a small town south of Tucson. I have talked to several hikers who have visited this park. Everyone I have talked to says it is a very remote and rugged area. No one has ever said anything about feeling creeped out though. There is very little cover in the deserts in the Southern part of the state so if she was threatened it would be difficult to get away. She went in January where it can get down into the low 30's at night. If she had an accident and was immobile she could have been died from injuries and exposure. Sounds like that is the most likely scenario.

[@Melsincatuation]

The only thing with that and everyone who says she is there in the area, is why didn't the cadaver dogs find her. I say that cause the smell was supposedly very strong, if multiple cadaver dogs cannot find the source of something that human noses can smell, then we need to start thinking more like fringe stuff if u know what I mean

Thanks again Bryan 🇨🇦what is with wanting to solo hike? Can people not find companions? And why do people separate in the wilderness. I really feel for Carol and her loved ones. What an odd note. Did she anticipate trouble?

[@angelmartin7310]

I would never solo hike/camp as a woman. You'd be surprised how tempting such an easy opportunity would be to some men who otherwise would never act on their hateful, sick urges toward women. A man too worried about consequences to ever stalk and attack a woman in regular life/civilization might see a lone woman wandering the wilderness with 0 ties back to him as too good an opportunity to resist. So you wouldn't have to be in the same park with the rare serial killer to be targeted as a woman. The number of men who would attack a solo hiking woman with 0 witnesses and a built in plausible explanation for her disappearance (hikers go missing all the time) is far higher than the number of men who would ever attack a woman in town/day to day life. I hope women keep that in mind instead of thinking "what are the odds a serial killer would be on the trail at the same time as me?"

Her note is a little concerning. “I’am a solo hiker…” If someone is preying on her, sees her leave her note and then reads it, or deduces the author is a solo female, she’s increased the risk she is taking.

[@karenv5103]

People can usually sense when they are being watched. It could be someone not involved in the search was watching them which explains the spooky feeling

[@jimhenderson387]

I hadn't heard of this case, despite being alive at the time. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. I would love to know more about this area to get an idea why they were spooked. Maybe it's a spooky area with lots of weird things going on? I don't know.

That spooky feeling has been reported by hikers and especially hunters before. Usually, I'm sure as you know, it means you should turn around and get away from the area. Some think it's infrasound and that certain animals emit that to freeze their prey. I studied Forestry and Wildlife Conservation, and IDK what animals in N. America can do that. They DO use sounds inaudible to humans to communicate tho. I think you know who I mean believes a certain life form emits infrasound. They are on the fringe if you know what I mean. The flashes could have been from a mirror. I keep one in my backpack. It's that smell of death, and humans emit a very disgusting special smell that you will never forget. So you'd think if she was there, those dogs would find her. Short of going out on the fringe myself, a ufo wouldn't be out of the question. I just don't know, but what I do know....I'm def. not going there to hike. Ever. People don't just disappear...Ok Travis Walton did and others have, but on the whole, most missing people are just not in the search area. Like that man who came all the way across the country to hike in Joshua Tree, went missing only to be found yrs later at the top of rock cliff. Trying to get a cell signal I think? I can see his face, but the name evades me. Sort of an older man. Bill something??? IDK. You've covered the case. Just seems to me, everytime they can't find someone, but they are found later, or thier remains I mean. They are always outside the search area. You do such a great job, with the best of intent and it shows. I wish you nothing but good will. I'd never heard of this case, and I listen to many. Oh, before I forget, I might have worded my note a bit diff. than how she did. I still think that was a good Idea, just maybe not allude to alone, at the same time, that needs to be known. It's kinda a catch 22 innit?

[@Melsincatuation]

Ur definitely right about the dogs and they would have DEFINITELY found a.dead.body if the smell was that bad!!! Something was.definitely strange,.and knowing now that there are definitely "nonhuman" entities around us, we need to start thinking into the so called "fringe" side in cases like this!

[@prarieborn6458]

i do remember the case of the man missing in Joshua Tree area. it really creeped me out then and still does. all those bad hombres living off the grid and dropped out of society., preying on tourists. i can almost hear the strains of the Eagle’s classic, ‘Hotel California” in the background when I think about it all. i and my husband and friends were so frightened by that “feeling” one stormy night when we pulled off the hiway into a deserted mountain trailhead rest stop., We could not get out of there fast enough. I still felt creeped out every time we had to pass by that turn off in the years that followed.

[@davidabney7700]

For myself, it is "never" a good thing for man or woman to go hiking "solo" in a National Park. Too many ominous variables lurk in isolated areas of the National Parks for the single hiker or for the hunter in deep, thick wooded areas, hunting solo. With the past history of "missing people" within National Parks, going it alone is foolish. There is the "unknown" factor when a single hiker or hunter disappears. Experienced and armed hunter that vanishes from the face of the earth. Leaving nothing behind to indicate a violent attack by a wild animal had taken place. Search dogs tracking the missing person have been unsuccessful in finishing a search, hitting a blank wall, losing the scent abruptly. Most of the time, from what I have read and heard, the missing person was almost always by themself when tragedy struck. Hunters going into the woods, separate, and go to various stand locations alone. For decades, or since the National Parks were formed there have been millions of people, single or in groups, go into these Parks and not have a bit of trouble. But when a person goes missing in a Park, search volunteers, law enforcement, National Guard, and air search & rescue are alerted quickly to begin searching for that missing individual. There is something very eery about a missing person not being found by this great, organized bunch of search professionals, that have many resources to pull from, if needed. No body found, no clothing or equipment found, and no evidence of an animal attack having taken place. The remains of clothing, hiking or hunting equipment, just NOTHING to even show this missing human ever existed. How terrible for the family and friends of the missing, NEVER to know nothing of their loved one. Don't go solo, please, and have communication hardware on your person when you do chance it. Some of the most rugged, experienced outdoors people have fell prey to the unknown factor that seems to exist (at times) within the National Parks.

[@eh3477]

Wow, lots of unsupported speculation here. In many of the lost hiker cases, contrary to what's reported in the more irresponsible KZbin channels, physical evidence has been found. Many of the victims were unprepared, and were also lost in multi-million acre search areas, often in harsh weather conditions. Needle in a haystack. And, there's no hunting in National Parks.

[@always_b_natural703]

So many people spooked? I lean towards foul play. There's no way to tell when the orange peels were dropped and that could be a red herring.

[@JD-kg3mx]

Reasonable people can get “spooked” by sights and sounds appearing unnatural. It had to be noticeable enough to at least one person that felt uneasy about a canyon or valley or mountain. Perhaps the wind kicked up and produced whistling or dust devils spun up - they can look quite eerie if not use to them. But I know how just one person perceived to be pretty solid can shake up others by saying they’re spooked or not at ease because of “something” not being quite right. That happen to me on a weekend camping spot in the hills of the Alleghenies in NY. In the ten years of camping I was with a girl friend, both of us experienced campers, had just one time, one evening when the sky darkened quickly, clouds thickened and a sudden wind picked up out of a calm evening at dusk. It appeared unnatural, surreal, the waves of tall grass and wind passing through the leaves of the trees like a spooky omen. It turned out it was just a weather phenomenon and passed shortly but we were spooked because it happen suddenly. I can empathize with the professional search party.

Good show but you don't even need the music. Keep up the good work.

I spent ten days at Organ Pipe state park in 2019. The campground is 5 miles, sometimes less) from the border wall. There is a memorial there for a young Park Ranger who was murdered by a group of Mexicans who had crossed the border. There are several very large 4×8 ' WARNING signs of illegal Mexican border crossers telling you how they are dressed in black, with black back packs and black water bottles. Tells you to NOT CONFRONT them. Even I drove the beautiful back road she had to take to her trailhead and upon cresting an abrupt hill I came eye-level with a hovering Immigration Patrol helicopter. The officer on the skid motioned me to roll up my windows and speed under them down the road. Wow, I'll never forget that. The illegals had to be right there in the densley bushy wash. Of course these illegal groups lay low in the washes and caves etc all day then move at night. It's a beautiful area of protected flora, providing good shady brushy hiding places. It's a very steep, cliff-walled area, canyoned with significant mountains. A great area for wildlife, snakes, cougars, mean little boars called picarries, I believe, scorpions, a plethora of very unfriendly cacti. Very, very dangerous terrain in my opinion based on a lifetime of outdoor experience. I never hike alone and surely would not have hiked here. It's stunning though. In 1971 I doubt there were the huge warning signs. But illegal crosses surely were happening back then. Being only 4 to 5 miles into the United States these men would still be jumpy and nervous having not gained any confidence yet. Their freedom is cause to kill to them. That is my guess.

[@teresalopez7081]

That would be very sad to have illegal people kill her fir hiking by. Very callous.

[@KDbbasm]

@@teresalopez7081 I'm thinking not every illegal crosser would "easily" kill someone. But, some of them do come from very frightening environments where it would be easy for them. But to have made it five miles into the US that they want more than anything they don't want to be arrested and sent back. She's just a female after all and that is a real societal attitude in more nations than it isnt. I'm thinking they likely buried her so no trace.

“Spooky” feeling is a mountain lion watching you in the wild.

[@stormy439]

I definitely experienced this at night in the Inyo Nationat Forest. I suddenly got intense goosebumps on my upper back & neck. I quickly got into my tent. In the morning, huge mountain lion tracks were all around my tent! I never want to experience THAT feeling again. It was pure predatory!

[@juleswins3]

I kept waiting to hear it but never did. They never brought in search dogs?!?! Seriously?! They can smell her body, they know she’s there, probably down a hole or in a small cave, but dogs were never used to track her? Absolutely amazing or totally incompetent.

[@JamesMichael333]

Did they use cadaver dogs? It’s kinda odd that you would have that odor and not be able to find remains based on wind direction and just range. Meaning how far could that smell travel before it dissipates? Just strange.

[@davidbell9130]

its a wonderful place, ive been many times

[@katsiduzynski488]

I'm thinking she may have come across a portal. There are many in the desert (as well as in higher altitude areas) where it would be easy for someone investigating rocks, flora and fauna would never notice the changes in a rock wall or the geology in such places where they exist. The superstition mountains have documented examples of these changing areas. One has to be very alert when there; and not go too far off trails to avoid being entrapped by encountering them.

[@Jonathan-m9z9r]

Being that the SAR felt a spooky feeling makes me think of Sasquatch or other cryptid. Or homicide due to being near border and likely a drug route.

[@bigfoot-5150]

Many people get that spooked feeling of dread when a Sasquatch is around.

[@Jonathan-m9z9r]

@@bigfoot-5150 Yes we've all heard this from the cryptid witnesses. I think it's an important note that SAR personnel expressed this. I don't think SAR would say such a thing just because. Also Bryan mentioned that there are many caves in the park. Caves and cryptids go together.

Are you not monetized? Would like to support you.

[@GhostRanger5060]

Solo hiking on rough, isolated terrain will always be dangerous. You are one fall, one ankle twist, or one canteen away from death by misadventure. Today, the situation is exasperated by an over-reliance on cell phones for emergency communications. But the main lesson-learned here? Listen ladies, a female solo hiker is easy prey for a two-legged predator. There are bad people in the wilderness. And that close to the Southern Border? Maybe it wasn't so bad in the 70s but cartels own those places now. Always carry a weapon in the Arizona backcountry.

How hard is it for a bunch of people to find the source of a strong smell? I mean, it really narrows down the area you need to search, as smells don't travel very far. Did they not have cadaver dogs? It's very strange they weren't able to find the source, whatever it was.

[@lostabo7369]

Is it possible the note on her car was a red herring to throw off everyone to search for her when she's not even in that area? Could have been abducted and taken elsewhere.
