Musician Goes Missing After Visiting Kauai to Find Alien Civilization | Alex Gumm Case Analysis

This story is bizarrely similar to what happened to my brother. He died in Hawaii this year while homeless. He was a musician and an artist and a vegan and had gone through a lot of problems too, we miss him so damn much. Prayers for Alex’s safe return. We also grew up in Maine.

Upon visiting Hawaii a few years back my thoughts were that it was a great and beautiful place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there . Too remote for me . A guide on the Big Island mentioned that the islands had many visiting people disappear every year and it was thought that at least some may have fallen into volcanic vents that are made difficult to see by surrounding vegetation . I don't know how plentiful these vents are on Kauai but I can attest to the rain , mud and bad footing . It must be terrible for his family to be left wondering what has happened .

There is a reason why most of the land on the Hawaii Islands is not populated - because it's dangerous! (Or owned by rich people and completely blocked out) Looking on the map and thinking there is just a lash beauty forest there is so silly, but many people coming here to live on land still think that. Hawaii is extremely treacherous and dangerous, especially Big Island and Kauai. If you didn't grow up on islands and try to go extreme hiking by yourself, chances of accidents are huge. True every month people die or disappear hiking.

Alex Gumm has similarities to Christopher McCandless in that they were searching for an esoteric meaning for life and their 'dream' eventually led to their deaths (possibly for Gumm). Very sad. He sounds like he was talented and creative. I hope his family finds the peace they deserve.

[@darkwing3713]

He didn't join a cult because there's no way a cult wouldn't have emptied his bank account. Twenty years ago I would have said that he was unlikely to have been murdered as a homeless person on Kauai. Back then living on the beach on Kauai was pretty normal. But I've heard that homelessness has become a lot worse in Hawaii. But it's very likely that, if he is dead, he was not murdered. Nor would he have had to follow through on a self sufficiency fantasy to get into trouble. Kauai is actually pretty dangerous. The Nā Pali coast is made of very old volcanic rock, and the interior wilderness is not a place for amateurs. And the beaches can be dangerous. Some of them are swimmable and some really aren't. Not all the risks are obvious. Swimming the day after a heavy rain might get you attacked by a shark just because the water is murky. My idea is that he felt his personality changing and instinctively fled from everyone he knew. He may have eventually lost his original sense of who he is. In some of his photos, he's smiling but his eyes look scared. The only adult photos where he seems at peace are the ones where he's playing music. Wishing him peace and happiness.

The most reliable sources of food in the wilderness are fishing and trapping and those are off the menu.

He has shared some personal stories when he reached certain YT milestones. Two were significant to me - the first was a very serious car accident when he was a young man and the interactions with a Doctor who told him what his life would be like. He does live with residual physical effects and limitations. Note: You probably know he knows plenty about guns and cars. The other was a description of a typical day in producing videos, from research to uploading, how much time etc. Also his motivations in producing a high volume of work, making money while he can while his work is popular. He seems to have found just the right formula which has evolved - if you've seen his earlier educational videos.

It’s a small island. Someone would have seen him and everyone would know. He fell or got lost deep in the wild and is dead.

[@hle144]

Wow, such knowledge at the tender age of 22.

[@dubief420]

We have quite the story I'd like to hear you cover in Maine

[@LadyCatterly]

Poor kid.

[@malumusera]

Poor parents

[@pandakicker1]

Dr. Grande! I love your videos! You are such a calming voice of reason to listen to describing such horrific incidents. I just want to stop by and give you a teeny pronunciation tip as someone who adores Kauai and has been there many times (without going missing, obviously). In Hawaiian, when you have an apostrophe, it makes the sound between the two vowels into a glottal stop like bow Cockneys say “bottle” as “bo’l”. It’ll always be that way in Hawaiian as far as I have known. Hawaii is also actually supposed to have a glottal stop as Hawai’i is the proper spelling. I hope this helps in your Hawaiian adventures! The locals will look at you slightly less annoyed if you pronounce it better. They are annoyed by us anyway… don’t let it bother you too much if you are vacationing there.

Just watched the movie "Blue Hawaii" and spotted Alex perched in a coconut tree during the wedding scene. Not sure if he found aliens but he did seem to manage getting back to 1961 & appearing in an Elvis Presley film! (Unfortunately, during a 2nd watch, he seems to have disappeared ... again.)

[@kp361]

Forgive me, but Alex sounds like he was a bit of an asshole. Refusing to tell his parents when he arrived, after living off them in their bed and breakfast...

[@nate_8403]

Not sure why anyone would want to hang out with aliens. Because if we're being totally honest, aliens probably suck.

[@markboheman5691]

“It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.” Sorry. My mind immediately went to that.

[@Pichuuh]

Hey Dr love your videos! Could you make an analysis about the Toy Box Killer? I believe he would be similar with BTK

[@poindextertunes]

I can tell you this. David Parker Ray was 100% producing and selling snuff films. Thats how he could afford all the devices he had(like a gynecological chair) with a state park maintenance man salary. Also the FBI agent tasked with looking through the t0rture footage found in the trailer, later committed suicide bcuz of what she saw 😳

[@Pichuuh]

@@poindextertunes I heard about that, yeah it would definitely explain how he could afford all of that stuff, also maybe he charged some of his 'friends' to use the girls.

[@marinaalba1707]

Is it me or Dr Grande has been seriously sharpening his irony skills lately? If that is even possible 🙂

[@ivantothemax]

He has more money sitting in his account walking around being homeless than I do working and paying bills 😩😩 bruh I hate it here

[@y_knot_tri]

Well if you weren't paying bills you'd have money sitting around too.

[@Minimalist-Lifestyle]

I'm suspicious if he even made it to Hawaii... If this fellow really thought he was a Lemurian, then they're looking in the wrong place. Mt. Shasta is the place to look for him. Deep within Shasta is Telos, the rumored hidden City of Light where Lemurians escaped to after the destruction of their island paradise. Lots of New Age types make pilgrimages to Shasta in search of Telos... ...It would be really bizarre if his fate is somehow entangled with the disappearance of Davohnte Morgan...the similarities are quite striking.

[@user-mf7nb6fg1b]

well .. I have used the stargate to go from Mt. Shasta to Nibiru numerous times ...

[@lorenfulghum2393]

wrong

[@pwallace5359]

I thought they must have records from his flight.

[@Mrch33ky]

Sounds like post-adolescent depression caught up with him at age 22. I barely survived it myself thanks to psychological counseling and meditation. Sounds like he spiralled down further and further over the years of self-treatment. He may have purposely emulated some hippie heroes like Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Kurt Cobain who also did not survive PAD and died in their mid-20's.

[@maxspears6030]

Wait, Lemuria is not real? Pseudo-archaeology? Hope you’re ok, Alex 🤙🏾

[@sr2291]

Is that sarcasm?

[@Blackheathenly]

I think this is the same reason the Brady family visited Hawaii.

[@4islandlynx]

Taylor Camp was NOT a cult.. it was a lifestyle.

[@BrendaCreates]

Fell into some hole or crevasse or just got lost and died of exposure.

[@Zachary3D]

There's about 5 way more likely scenarios.

[@Seawitch907]

Dr. Grande, you must analyze some of the politicians . I’m sure you know who’s going to be most entertaining 😜

[@Kwood10]

Biden

[@babstarr9775]

You see his skateboard videos and he went hard...dang. I wonder if he had hit his head a few too many times.😢

[@bthomson]

Interesting how often musical ability and a tenuous relationship to reality go together. The lifestyle of playing, often late into the night around drugs and alcohol, does not foster health or grounded behavior.

[@user-mf7nb6fg1b]

it's also interesting that a lot of comments here make absolutely no sense ..

[@bthomson]

I was going to try and list how many musicians have been in rehab multiple times or died early ( the 27 club) but it would be too many. Wish it wasn't true.

[@flyoverkid55]

Seems that he spent most of his time entertaining his " inner child " and never acquired the skills and outlook necessary to exist in the adult world.

[@PDSalling]

Kauai is an easy place to disappear off the face of the earth from. The State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources states that Kauai has a population of over 300,000 wild pigs, that are very able to dispatch anyone suffering a disability via consumption or illness. Add to that fact that there is no 'continental-shelf' that may moderate the oceanic action as it intersects the shore. Its very possible to be swept off the beach, or from near shore waters by a 'rip-current' that will not, in most areas ever return you to the shore. Take heart in the 'near death' experience stories that are prolific among humans. There may actually be an existence in a different dimension for each of us after our mortal coil relaxes.

[@sweeabn6736]

Dr Grande. What you say in the end is true. However, those folks who gave their money will never get it back.

[@lisapinfold506]

Possible schizo affective disorder with clinical depression. Very hard to treat
