In the summer of 1969, a six-year-old boy named Dennis Martin vanished without a trace in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. What was supposed to be a joyful Father’s Day camping trip turned into one of the largest and most haunting search efforts in U.S. history. In this episode of Pine Grove Briar, we sift through the facts, rumors, and theories surrounding the disappearance—everything from the official investigation to the stranger sightings, whispered legends, and even the eerier corners of Appalachian folklore.

Was it a tragic accident, a human predator lurking in the woods, or something stranger still?

Pull up a chair, light your pipe, and settle in as we take a walk through one of America’s most perplexing wilderness mysteries.
