In this Halloween installment of Sasquatch Tracks, the team convenes for a delightfully spooky discussion in advance of our discussion with Oregon-based researcher Tanner Hoskins, co-Founder of the Pacific Northwest Bigfoot Search. A passionate advocate dedicated to the search for missing persons and a dedicated wilderness explorer, he founded the organization in July of 2020, combining his love for the outdoors with his curiosity about the unexplained.

Despite being an amputee of the right leg and living life with severe scoliosis, Tanner Hoskins is an avid outdoorsman. He spent more than a decade in private security specializing in Active Shooter Response as well as volunteering in public safety before medically retiring in December of 2022. A devoted husband and father, he is also the Executive Director of the Pacific Northwest Missing Persons Project (PNWMPP), which he founded in May of 2022 and transformed into a nonprofit organization in 2024.
