Today in place of our standard Swing Shift episode, we're bringing you a missing person, also from PNW Haunts & Homicides. Our policy is never to have a missing person be anything other than free, in the spirit of raising the profile of these important cases and in the hope that people like Maureen will be found.

Here are their show notes. Please pay them a visit at https://sinspod.co/pnw

We remind you that we always have resources for those experiencing domestic violence listed on our website at https://sinspod.co/resources

In June 2013, 19-year-old Maureen Leianuhea “Anu” Kelly set off on a camping trip with friends in the vast and unspoiled wilderness Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The backdrop was both scenic and rugged. What was supposed to be a carefree adventure outdoors turned into a chilling mystery when Anu walked away from their campsite—completely nude, save for her fanny pack—and never returned.

Despite extensive search efforts, the only trace of her was a set of footprints leading toward a road. Her extremely limited supplies, tucked into the fanny pack she’d donned, would do little to stave off any number of threats she may have encountered in the woods. Over the years, theories have swirled - while she may have been seeking a spiritual awakening, her whereabouts have remained unknown since that fateful night. Did she fall victim to the harsh wilderness? Or is it possible that something far more sinister happened that night?

Join us as we retrace Anu’s final known steps, explore the many theories surrounding her mysterious disappearance, and discuss the latest developments, including the discovery of human remains in the Big Lava Bed located in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in August of 2024.
