Check out missing 411. There’s something happening in National parks across the country

[@RS-ol8or]

Yup, but it's not just national parks, it's other wilderness areas and sometimes even urban cities. Even waterways, etc.

[@P_RO_]

@@RS-ol8or There's a lot of common factors with them all. Probably biggest is that usually nobody local knows them well if at all, so it's awhile before anyone looks for them and by then clues are scant at best. Second is that there's either nobody or nobody who cares within earshot so screams or other signals of distress go unanswered. Poverty is an extremely common factor, but not an absolute. Poverty almost always means a lack of ability to provide for and to protect yourself. The deep drug culture isn't only in Mexico- it's here too and anyone in the wrong place at the right time is out of luck rich or poor. Grow ops and labs are found in many remote places because it's a easier to monitor for security there. And if it's Mother Nature at work, well she's a very efficient and often a very quick recycler. I've done my share of traveling and I've been in many dangerous places. You've gotta know your 'enemy' and know how to behave wherever you are, and you must remain sober, alert, and ready for anything at all times. If you're traveling don't linger. If you're lingering then become a known part of the people in the area immediately. Miss one of those details and you're likely in trouble. Miss two and you might be the next one disappearing. And of course there are those who want to disappear even when nobody else can find a reason for them doing that. There are many hidden reasons people want to end one life to begin another one unrelated to their past. I actually know a few people who are like that to differing degrees. I've got kinfolk who disappeared for legal reasons and nobody knows where they're at- they make anonymous contact with 'home' once in awhile and that's it. I've known dozens of people who left my area like that but I don't know their outcomes. I do know that you can disappear well if you want to, even in today's 'big brother' world of knowledge databases and identity technology. Probably 2 unknown bodies a year are found around here- most are murders and identified but maybe once every 5 years nobody knows who they were. This is an area with about 2.5 million peeps in a 100 mile radius, so even in the woods somebody likely saw the person within 48 hours of them disappearing.

[@RS-ol8or]

@@P_RO_ in all due respect, it's clear you haven't read a Missing 411 book or have seen David Paulides' documentaries. Almost all of the examples you cite, he NEVER covers those. Ever. Those aren't the type of disappearances he covers. It's not so easily explained or covered. Listen to a free interview of his on YT and see for yourself.

[@RS-ol8or]

​@slapdatpuck88 Occam's Razor has literally nothing to do with my point. "why would paulides not bring up the grow op / drug industry activity in national parks?" Interviewers HAVE asked him that, and he HAS briefly covered it. But those cases where that does occur, those cases he DOES NOT include those in his books! Any clear cases of human-related foul play - murder and the like, he does not cover in his book. He only covers the strange, unexplained cases. What do you not get about that? "they make sense and dont account for some "paulides paranoia"" Sounds like you have an axe to grind and a clear bias on the topic. Don't know what to tell you.

Back in the 90's while living in Alaska,there wasn't much to do for entertainment,except of course for pouring a hot cup of coffee and pulling a chair up to listen to your short wave radio, to hear the chatter and scanning the police channels. One day i had my ears on and honed in on a RCMP on patrol talking with his base in Vancouver BC. The gist of the conversation started off with the officer talking to a couple of natives who complained about a very large disk shaped UFO that had been hovering around their village most of the day. The natives were insistent the officer check it out,so the Mountie had to get on one of two horses and go horseback with them up into the mountain native village. When the trio got to the village to discover all of the residents were gone. I remember hearing the officer over his radio telling base there was no one in the village. Meals were still on the tables,even the dogs were gone. I remember hearing over the Mountie's radio the two native fella's going hysterical over the fact their families gone. The Mountie didn't know what to think of the missing people(upwards of 100 villagers). At first he thought it was a prank being pulled on him,but where would villagers hide? and why go through the trouble to pull a real dumb prank?. The Mountie requested backup,because of the remoteness of the village the backup wouldn't arrive until early the next day(no place for helicopters to land). I of course was glued to the radio receiver,.my reception was cutting out. That night i called the RCMP HQ in Vancouver . I spoke with dispatch who transferred me to an officer who i spoke with for several minutes telling him about what i heard over my Short Wave radio. He knew what i was talking about and he thought it was strange as well,anyway i asked for transcripts of the conversation- Native/UFO /Mountie/missing persons radio transmission. I gave him my mailing address and he said he would send me tapes and transcripts of what went on. I waited and waited for my package to arrive,.Surprise,.it didnt arrive at all. So i called back talked to the officer i spoke to and he behaved as if he didn't know what i was talking about. Yeah i thought to myself,.he just blew me off,threatening me with charges of making a nuisance call to police. That ticked me off. As god is my witness,.it happened. I combed British Columbia newspapers for news articles and didn't find anything. so i hope there is someone out there who knows about this to come forward with more on the story. BTW,.the incident happened shortly before the famous Japan Airlines Flight 1628 I broke that story to the National inquirer when it happened and i still have original transcripts from Anchorage Intl.

Your story about the town in Iowa, reminds me of a story my Dad told around the dinner table. He was born in Iowa, and grew up in Nebraska. Anyway, the detail I remember was about the 'land opening up and swallowing 2 houses. I don't remember him saying he'd heard of it or saw it himself. He had a lot of cousins. But any other residents would have moved after seeing that. Now think about the New Madrid Fault-line, the area could have had movements in the past when the population was much less, and less was known about earthquakes, and sinkholes, etc.

[@RockinCowgirl1000]

I've heard about sinkholes in Iowa too. I'm from MN, and the SE part of the state, north of IA, is known as the driftless area, because glaciers never went there in the ice age. There's a lot of limestone cliffs and caves, where streams will run underground. Limestone is soft and wears away. I know they mine limestone in Iowa.

About six months ago, after thanksgiving, i think, my mom and i saw a black panther here in arkansas. It leaped over a gate from midway in the road. It jumped a five foot gate, from 12 feet away and never touched the gate or made a sound. It was about seven foot from paw to paw, a tail almost five foot, and was thick, it was so strong and elegant. I saw a brown deer jump from bushes in the field and run for its life. After that day, I knew where many children and adults had gone missing too. I've walked into a wolf den once, but seeing that giant cat was the scariest moment of my life. Until you see its almost supernatural power and elegance, you will not understand why we killed the predators of the past, or just how unsafe the woods are. This field was two miles out of the town of Bono, AR. I live in jonesboro, ar. I called the wildlife management in jonesboro, they didn't care, and they were not surprised.

Others have mentioned it, and I will too. David Paulides and Missing 411 have covered many of these cases before. The Dennis Martin case was especially tragic. But I think you got one of the details wrong. Dennis, while playing w the other children, literally went behind a bush while the adults were watching. But he never came out of the bush. The adults saw this, and immediately started the search for him. It's truly bizarre. Paulides was one of the only private investigators to personally interview Dennis' father before he passed away.

The topic of Missing Persons is a hot one and the plausible explanations for the variety of different cases ranges from moderately interesting to super mysterious and downright scary to think about. I have read multiple books on the subject and can honestly say that they are very hard books to put down. I think these stories make a good argument for carrying some kind of tracking device if a person is in a high risk category such as hiking or hunting alone, children, solo travelers and many others.

The Nevada triangle, I've heard of. The running theory is that the ground gets so hot that it messes with the airflow, creating updrafts and downdrafts that are really unpredictable.

@@shadowulf I understand the danger I'm a hillbilly from west virginia No stranger to mountains n woods environment. Snow in June would throw me off Some I believe. I agree with you 100% always being prepared. Taking old fashioned ways like old school map n campus cause I'm guessing GPS is nonexistent. Hopefully a map would point out any ranger stations. First aid, fresh water. Supply of food to just get by Trail mix, jerky. Maybe canned goods but you have to watch the weight your packing to. Most importantly to me as a hillbilly. Legal or not a firearm is not far from reach at all times. Like I said I'm thinking only thing that may get me is not being properly dressed for elements.

•One of the saddest stories I read was about a World War II bomber crew. They took off from Fresno and headed to Tucson. There they refueled, and headed back towards Fresno on a moonless night, doing navigational training. The plane went missing. They had a general idea where it was last known to be flying. This happened in 1944. The next summer, the father of one of the missing pilots began searching for his missing son's aircraft. He would spend the next 14 years (each summer) searching the Sierra Nevada for the lost plane. He died in 1959, not having found it. The very next summer, 1960, the wreck was located. It was found in an alpine lake, below the face of the mountainside where it had crashed into. It seems the snows and avalanches had carried the wreckage down until it settled in the lake

I used to live up in the UP of Michigan on the shore of Lake Superior, and had the pleasure one year to go out with the closing crew to shut down Isle Royale for the winter in mid October. The water was VERY rough that day, I had never been seasick before, but I got it that day. We were listing so far to the side it felt like we were going almost all the way sideways, back and forth, over and over. You know things are bad when the entire staff who aren't actively piloting the boat are sitting in the observation deck stone quiet, watching the water. Being that I was not staff of Isle Royale on a boat filled with only staff that took the boat twice a week, I had never been through a safety briefing that all the visitors get when visiting the island, and ended up getting a crash course right at the worst moment of the voyage. Basically I was told here's a life jacket, here's an immersion suit, if the alarms go off put them on. But, in reality, if those alarms go off and this ship goes down, we're all dying. The immersion suits are just to make people think they're doing something to help themselves. You don't survive a crash on Lake Superior. 😬 Thankfully, the captain turned the boat around not even half an hour into the 5 hour trip, and we obviously made it back to dock in one piece. I was told by many who had been watching from the shore they were relieved when the boat turned around, because apparently everyone knew we weren't going to make it if we kept going.
