In this episode, we explore the tragic disappearance of 12-year-old Jared Negrete during his first overnight Boy Scout trip in July 1991. Set against the backdrop of the San Gorgonio summit, Jared, described as a shy but intelligent boy, struggles to keep pace with his troop and is left alone on the mountainside. After a firefighter's last sighting of him, an extensive search ensues, involving hundreds of volunteers and specialized rescue teams. Join us as we go over the search efforts, question the actions of his troop leader, and review what evidence that was found in the wilderness.
