5 Hikers Who Mysteriously VANISHED Without A Trace...

[Music] what's going on you guys my name is ty knots and welcome to top five unknowns five hikers who mysteriously vanished number five in late 2017 a young Canadian hiker by the name of Jesse Galvin off went hiking along a series of mountains in Peru his trip was expected last for a few weeks so he informed his mother not to be alarmed if she didn't hear from him for a while however after nearly a month passed without any word from her son she began to worry and decided to head to Peru in search of him once and Peru the family informed police of the situation and even hired a crisis management team to search for Jesse those still no sign of him what they did find though were two French hikers who camped with Jesse on September 30th two days after Jesse's mother had last heard from him according to the Frenchman Jesse seem to have been severely disoriented on the night of their camp though he appeared to be just fine the following morning this however was the only major bit of information the search team could find and they still had no clue where Jesse may have wandered off to at this point Jesse's family says that the bills for a search and rescue were beginning to add up and already placed them in debt of over 1 million dollars to this day almost six months later jesse has still not been found his mother says she insist on bringing him home regardless of what may have happened to him adding that she simply doesn't want to leave her son in Peru anybody who can help if anyone has any information provide it if anyone is out there who knows anything who said they could help us you can feel the frustration and desperation in ELISA clayman's voice her son Jesse galgano has not been seen or heard from since late September gal Gandalf was backpacking through Peru for the last 15 days clayman has also been in Peru hoping and praying for good news nobody just disappears into into thin air it just doesn't happen there's people here people someone have seen him security cameras captured Galgano leaving the town of wadis on September 29th he was heading off on a hike there's been no communication since claimin told me t-that as many as 80 people are participating in the search 30 police officers and a team of 50 searchers that the family is paying for on their own so far no luck but they haven't found anything nothing not a sign every report so far has just not been in legitimate it's very frustrating also frustrating clayman says is the lack of support she's received from a cell phone provider and Apple Galgano was traveling with an iPhone Apple provided encrypted data which was supposed to have all of the data that they have on Jesse's phone maybe they could listen to this report and go in and provide it in a decrypted form here in Montreal friends and family are doing their best to help out one fitness studio and NDG is organizing fundraisers to collect money for the search and it's really heartwarming really so thank you I'm gonna come back to my child when I have my son with me number four Keith Rainer was a sports writer for a Chicago based publication back in the 1980s though in 1988 he decided to take an extended leave of absence from his position heading to Colorado to live in a small mining village for a short time near the Rocky Mountains during his stayed the village Keith became fascinated with the story of a man named Tom young who disappeared from the village to see year prior according to locals Tom's simply closed his book store one day took his dog and headed off into the mountains never returning in fact when Keith moved to the village he decided to open up a small antique shop and his shop was actually placed in the building which Tom used to use in his honor he began compiling information about Tom's disappearance planning to write a short novel about him though before he could finish he himself went missing on July 31st 1988 both Tom and his dog were finally found in the mountains both had passed away from gunshot wounds to the head with police stating that it appeared as though Tom had shot his dog then turned the gun on himself just a week after this finding in an eerily similar fashion Keith decided to simply close up his shop - and head into the mountains dome as expected he was never seen again at the time of his departure many people thought it was very strange for Keith to leave as it was a six-hour hike to the nearest resting area and Keith hadn't begun to depart until about 4:30 p.m. additionally he wasn't carrying any sort of hiking gear and was by no means dressed for the occasion after he never returned a search party was set up to search for Keith though nothing was ever found some believe that keith may have faked his disappearance in honor of Tom but others believe that there may have been foul play and that both of these men became victims either way Keith's disappearance remains unsolved number three in December of 1998 an 8 year old boy named Eric went on a family trip to an Oregon forest alongside his father and grandfather the family's plan was to hike into the woods and cut down a tree for Christmas then bring it back home though not long after they had arrived a terrible snowstorm hit and Derrick wandered away and became lost police were alerted to his disappearance and a search party was arranged in the woods they found a bit of blood a candy wrapper and a bookmark from Derrick spool yet they never found Derrick many were quick to assume that Derrick had passed away from the extremely cold temperature though other evidence suggests that Derrick may have actually been abducted as another larger set of footprints were found alongside his that didn't match either his father or his grandfather according to an eyewitness a man was seen in the woods struggling with a young boy around the time that Derrick went missing later on in 2002 a prison inmate came forward claiming to have been responsible for Derek's passing the man was a known pedophile and was actually in prison for taking the life of a ten-year-old boy even gave a detailed confession to police as well as directions as to where they could find his body however his body was never found to this day Derrick is still considered to be missing number two in 1991 a twelve-year-old boy named Jared took a hiking trip with his Boy Scout group to the San Bernardino National Forest the group was expected to hike to the summit of one of the mountains in the area though just as they were nearing the summit Jared wandered away and disappeared onto the wrong trail once the group realized that Jared was missing search and rescue teams were called to the area they found numerous items that appear to belong to Jared as well as shoe prints matching the shoes that he was wearing though in spite of this Jared was still nowhere to be found eventually police found Jared's backpack they began searching through it and found a camera that he'd been using to take scenic shots of the surrounding area the film role contained 12 photos total 11 of which were scenery though the 12th photo has left researchers baffled as it was a self-portrait of Jared that he took himself his arms were too short to hold the camera far enough away so the only portion of his face that were captured in the photo were his eyes and nose from the photo you can clearly see that jared is horrified to this day this is the last piece of evidence ever found of him number 1 August Rhaegar was an 18 year old from Oklahoma who was the valedictorian of his high school class and received a full scholarship to the University of Oklahoma back in 2013 to celebrate these accomplishments his family decided to take a trip to Ecuador planning on staying at a resort in the small town of Bay nose while on the trip the family decided to hike a scenic trail in the nearby area during the hike August was performing much better than the rest of his family and simply informed them that he would head up to the top of the mountain more quickly and meet them at the summit August then sped away yep when his family reached the summit he was where to be found a search of the family's hotel was conducted but still shown no signs of him a search and rescue team was called but still nothing while police initially believed that August became lost an eyewitness later reported to have seen August in a pickup truck with a man headed toward the Amazon over the next year sightings of August would be reported time and time again yet police could never find where he was headed as the case progressed it eventually gathered the attention of President Obama who called August a missing Patriot the Ecuadorian president then commented on the disappearance stating that he would make it his personal mission to find August and return him home but to this day five years later August has still never been found and his fate remains unknown a lot more than just a simple gut feeling you know hard to believe one year ago August graduated valedictorian from here at classmen SAS and tonight the family tells me they say it's only a matter of time before their lost son is found 10 months three weeks in come Monday it'll be five days since August Rieger vanished on a mountain in Ecuador no tracer trail to follow till this week recently we have had a couple of what the authorities consider credible sightings not much but the first serious pay off in a massive search putting the unmistakable now 19 year olds face in every corner of Ecuador I mean there are pictures of him on trees and you know in the coffee shops all over every time somebody thinks they have seen August they call the authorities and that the authorities are very quick to respond officials are keeping those sighting locations secret de Bono's province where August went missing is known for its safety but even the State Department labels surrounding areas is high crime where kidnappings are known to happen they think that somebody has them that there's a possibility that you know they move around but we don't know what the family does know is no one's giving up private investigators are still working with local authorities the Ecuadorian government even added a department dedicated to finding those who've gone missing people like Auguste thank you guys so much for
