In this heartfelt and investigative episode of the Pacific Northwest Missing Persons Project Podcast, host Tanner Hoskins shares the ongoing story of 51-year-old Devon Dobek, an experienced hunter who vanished after a solo trip in the Mount Hood National Forest on October 31st, 2025.
Despite a massive multi-agency search involving over a hundred rescuers, helicopters, drones, and K9 units, Devon remains missing.

Tanner reflects on the challenges of searching through Oregon’s post-wildfire terrain — where the 2020 Riverside Fire left behind a maze of fallen timber, steep slopes, and unstable ground — and how wildlife like deer and elk have begun returning to the scarred landscape.

The episode also explores an unexpected trend: a rise in Sasquatch and unknown-biped reports across the same region over the past eight months. While not suggesting any connection to the disappearance, Tanner considers what these sightings might mean as the forest heals and life returns.

Amid the mystery, this episode carries a sincere message of community, preparedness, and hope. Listeners will learn how outdoorsmen and women can help in missing-person cases, the importance of carrying personal locator beacons, and how even the smallest discovery can bring closure to a waiting family.

(Note: Tanner also shares that he’s been recovering from a cold — thank you for your patience as this long-awaited episode finally arrives.)
