In July 2010, a 57-year-old outdoorsman hiked into Oregon’s Mount Hood National Forest for a solo fishing trip—and never came back. His camp was found untouched, his gear left behind, and despite a massive multi-day search, no trace of him was ever discovered. In this episode, we explore the strange and unsettling disappearance of a man who knew the wilderness—and still vanished without a clue.
