10 Unsolved “Missing 411” Cases

people go missing every single day and unfortunately some of their disappearances will always remain an unsolved mystery when there's a pattern in the type of victims that go missing police typically believe it's the work of a serial killer but in the case of missing four one one the explanation to these disappearances could be something else entirely a retired police officer named David pour leads notice similarities and unsolved disappearances occurring near national parks just one of the commonalities is that none of these victims left behind a scent trail for search dogs to find search parties will spend months looking for them and the bodies were never recovered sometimes their clothes are found in an area that had already been searched hundreds of times before Paul Dee's went on a personal mission to solve these mysteries or at least to gather as much information as humanly possible he compiled his findings in his book series called missing for one one he's also gone on to film a documentary out of respect for the families Polly days never shared his own personal theories about what happened to these people fans of his work try to use these cases as proof of Bigfoot of aliens or interdimensional wormholes some think it could be a clan of cannibals living in the wilderness or maybe they were dragged off by mountain lands or bears the strangest cases though when these people are found alive to tell their story and there is still no logical explanation as for why they disappeared number 10 Stephen Kibaki in February 1977 a 24 year old man named Stephen Kibaki was cross-country skiing through the snow near Lake Michigan once he reached the edge of the lake he took his skis off to sit down and rest when he got up to leave his tracks were gone and he became lost the last thing he remembered was walking through the snow feeling numb and exhausted he blacked out in the blink of an eye it was spring he was lying in a grassy field in the middle of a forest wearing clothes that weren't his sitting next to him was a stranger's backpack containing running shoes and glasses that did not belong to him he hiked to the nearest town and he asked a local resident where he was they told him he was in Pittsfield Massachusetts 700 miles away from where he had been skiing his arms and father lived in Pittsfield so he knocked on his arm store his family were in shock hugging him and scam where he had been Kibaki had been missing for 14 months when he back he had first got missing the search team found his poles and skis at the edge of the lake there was only one set of footprints leading towards the water but none walking away they assumed he had drowned himself in the freezing lake he had been missing for so long that everyone assumes that he must be dead the official explanation is that he had amnesia and that he was wandering in a fugue States but even doctors are baffled by this case it's incredibly rare for someone to lose their memory for such a large chunk of time and it still leaves many unanswered questions his story was included in a psychology case study in a book about amnesia but even experts have been unable to figure out exactly what happened to him Kibaki had earned a degree in linguistics before he went missing but he was so fascinated by his own case that he went on to and a PhD in psychology he wanted answers about his own disappearance but he still couldn't find them solving the mystery of his missing year it became an obsession and he went on to publish a book called meta mathematical foundations of existence gödel quantum God and Beyond in it he writes about the possibility of alternate universes number 9 Maurice de Metz in 1981 an 84 year old man named Maurice de Metz went topaz hunting with his friends David McSweeney demesne had a PhD in theology and in the 1970s had said in several publications that he believed the Antichrist was coming he wrote that the devil would appear as a political religious commercial autocrat of the world they drove to Pike National Forest in Colorado once they were in the park they had to drive 16 miles down a dirt road until they reached a spot called topaz point Native Americans claimed it was haunted by evil spirits early settlers called this place the devil's head which was a very interesting coincidence considering his theological backgrounds Maurice could barely walk because he had bad knees he needed David to help him down a small hill to get to a sandy digging spot in the forest when it was time to leave David walk to maurices digging spot to say that they should go in about 10 minutes he went back to his own digging side 150 yards away to clean off his tools but when David returns maurices spot to the bowels niemand was gone with his bad knees it would have been impossible for Maurice to climb up the hill on his own and he couldn't have gotten far into the forest yet he was is gone he honked the horn called for him and searched for a long time McSweeney flagged down a nearby car and asked them to find the police while he continued to search the local authorities searched for five days and yet they never found any evidence the police closed the case claiming they did all they could do the medicines wife sent a letter to the governor of Colorado to reopen the case since she never received a reply then Polly Dez created his mini documentary pointing out that there had been a cluster of similar disappearances in Devil's head after seeing the documentary the police opens the case on Maurice de Metz over 30 years after his disappearance number 8 Danny flipper dhis in February 2018 a Canadian man named Danny flipper this was on a ski trip with his friends in New York it was around 2:00 p.m. and they had been skiing for hours they were getting ready to go into the lodge and Danny said that he wanted to go on one more run down the mountain before their lunch break by 4:00 p.m. Danny was failing to return and he calls or texts and the friends were concerned they began searching for eminence after being unable to find him they told employees at the lodge that he was missing a team of 130 people scoured the mountain without finding him six days later flipper das's wife received a phone call Jinna recognized the number and it sounded far away and staticky it was Danny's voice he was incoherent and confused and then he hung up the phone she called the number back and pleaded with him to call 911 for help so he did he had no idea where he was and he just described his surroundings when the paramedics finally found him he was still wearing all of his ski gear and in need of medical assistance he was holding a brand new iPhone and someone had cut his hair somehow he had ended up in Sacramento California at the airport terminal car rental Depot he was three thousand miles away from where he had disappeared can remember how he got there and he had no idea what daya was when he learns where he was and how long people had been looking for him he got very overwhelmed and emotional the leading theory is that he was kidnapped in the back of a big rig truck but no proof of this has ever surfaced number 7 Dior Koons in July of 2015 Dior Coons and his girlfriend Jessica Mitchell were on a camping trip with their two-year-old son - or jr. they brought along Jessica's grandfather and family friends named Isaac rain wands the campsite was extremely remote on the edge of the rock email National Park there was only one dirt road leading to the area where they parked

fish said that it caught it in the nearby river Jessica and or senior us to see where he caught the fish so they again to follow him with their son the little boy suddenly decided he wanted to get candy from his grandfather and they allowed him to walk back to the campsite the grandfather confirmed that little door returned safely to Emmons that he was watching over him us in the blink of an eye the toddler was gone during an interview the parents explained that they searched for the boy for about 20 minutes before trying to call 911 no cell phone service at the campsite so they had to drive down the road until they could complete a call a search party helps them comb the area for several days with no sign of any scent or tracks helicopters with heat tracking cameras flew over the area as well a two-year-old should not have been able to get very far everyone was baffled so where was door Kunis well certainly we don't know years later the cases still unsolved many in the general public believe the Dawes parents are suspects and there was public outcry to have them tried for murder however there is no evidence that they killed their son number 6 James McGraw gunner in 2014 a medical doctor named James McGraw goon went on a split snowboard trip with his friends in Vail Colorado not many people have heard of split snowboarding this is a sport that's a lot like cross-country skiing or hiking and snowshoes he came prepared with a cell phone and a satellite GPS system he was much faster than his friends so he said that he would wait for them at the next stop they lost sight of him and never saw him at any of the stops along the trail when the search team went looking for him they found no tracks in the snow that veered off the trail so they had no idea where he could have possibly gone five days later his body was discovered 4.5 miles away as the crow flies which was more like a 14 mile hike his body was found by two hikers at the bottom of a frozen waterfall the search party had gone over that area multiple times before but they'd never seen him until that day McGrew gun was mangled in a strange position his skull was crushed as if he had fallen from the sky he was still wearing the full ski outfit and helmet but there were no boots on his feet yet also taken off his gloves the search-and-rescue team later found his disc it's that snowboard but they never found his boots his cellphone and GPS was still working in he had packed a backup battery as well they tested the area where he was found and there was a cellphone signal yet he never called anyone for help the police deemed this an accidental death and closed the case number five Keith's Parkins in 1952 a two-year-old boy named Keith Parkins went missing from his home in Rissa Oregon in the middle of winter he had been playing outside with his jacket on but he was far from equipped to spend the night outside alone his family and a local search party looked for him immediately they could follow his tiny footprints up to a point before they just completely stopped there were no other animal or adult tracks nearby 19 hours later they found Keith he was about 15 miles away he had taken off his jacket and was lying face down in the snow on a frozen pond he was alive when they asked him why he had run away and how he survived he said that he didn't remember a survival expert named Li Stroud filmed a segment for the missing for 1:1 documentary to demonstrate just how impossible it would have been for the two year olds to walk so far on his own especially at night to this day no one is sure exactly how Keith survived the night and honestly we probably never will number 4 Dennis Martin it was Father's Day weekend 1969 a six year old Dennis Martin was at Smoky Mountains National Park with his brother father and grandfather they camped out for the night and the next day a man approached mr. Martin asking if his son's wanted to play with his kids since they were about the same age Dennis's father agreed and the children started a big game of hide and seek Dennis's father kept his eyes on his son from a distance Dennis hid behind a tree and when the other kids jumps to reveal themselves Dennis didn't his father got up and ran over to where he had last seen his son and he was gone the Appalachian Trail was nearby so he ran at full speed for 2 miles yelling and calling for Dennis but he couldn't find his son they called Park Rangers and spent all night looking for him the search for Dennis Martin it became massive the FBI Green Berets Park Rangers and local volunteers searched for six weeks the only thing they found belonging to Dennis was one shoe and one sock they never found the body bullies conducted interviews and dug through Falls with testimonies the key family had been camping in the park that same weekend and they asked Park Rangers where they could go see bears they were told where to go and when they arrived they reported hearing a scream the child at the top of the hill saying that he saw a bear the father said it looked more like a scary-looking wild hairy mountain man dodging between the trees while carrying something over its shoulder number three Bobby Bishop in 1958 a 10 year old partially deaf boy named Bobby Bishop was attending a Catholic camp the boys called campus and Marlo that sits on the border of the Rocky Mountain National Park a camp counselor found him fishing at the river and told him to come back to the camp for dinner the boy started to follow Emin's when the counselor glanced over his shoulder to double-check four hundred people searched for nine days but they found no clues one year later counselors found one of his hearing aids in a bit of torn clothing 2,000 feet up the side of the mountain the search party had already searched that area at least three times the year before none of his other remains though have ever been found number two Jared at Adaro in 1999 a three year old boy named Jared Atta Darrow was living with his sister and father Alan and the resort and Jared's dad worked out in the Comanche wilderness this is a national park in Colorado a Christian singles group was staying at the resort and one of the women in the group offered to take Alan's kids with them for a few hours to a local fish hatchery they never asked Alan if they could take the children hiking as well but they saw a sign for a nearby Trail and decided at the last minute that they would go through the forest the Christian singles were so involved in their own hikes that they lost track of Jared and he wandered away from the group two hikers in the area saw him walking alone but assumed his parents must be nearby after this thing he was never seen again in 2003 two hikers climbed up a very steep rock face roughly 550 feet above the trail they found one child's tooth piece of skull and Jared's clothes which were fully intact they had been taken off his body and turned inside out there was one shoe which looked brand-new somehow it was perfectly preserved for those four years the area where his remains were found were far too difficult for a child to climb to himself and it would have been an unnecessarily difficult location for an adult kidnapper to carry him it also doesn't line up with a bear or a cougar attack pattern because the clothes would have been ripped and covered in blood the outer Darrow family today is still haunted by these unanswered questions number one Bessie and Glen hide in 1928 a newly married couple named Bessie and Glen Hyde wanted to take a boat down the River which runs through Grand Canyon National Park the river was hundreds of miles long and it would take several days to make the journey then had been preparing for their honeymoon for a long time he built his own 20-foot boat that was very safe he wanted to win prize money for a new speed rack or to travel down the Colorado River and if they succeeded Bessie would go on to be the first woman to ever make the trip during their journey they would stop to hike some of the trails they met a photographer named Emery Kolb who took pictures of them and later gave the photos to the police when they never arrived at their destination Glenn's father became very worried he asked the park rangers to send an airplane over the river and they spotted the couple's boat it was floating upright with no signs of it ever being overturned a supplies was filling the boat as well but the couple was nowhere to be seen the story of Bessie and Glen Hyde has been retold so many times it's even becoming sort of a legend like stories of bessie's ghosts spotted standing in the river there are multiple theories around this disappearance in 1971 an elderly woman claims that she had witnessed Glen abusing Bessie and Bessie stabbed him and ran away this woman later recanted a story however saying that she had made it up for attention a few years later the body of an unidentified man in his 20s was found buried near the cabin of the photographer Emery Kolb the man had a bullet in his skull it was determined that this was not the body of Glen Hyde but it still led some people to believe that since coal was one of the last people to see them alive he could have murdered them sadly
