Missing 4115/5/2023 ![]() In many situations, the missing people first disappear within feet of others. The random assortment of victims is strange enough, but what makes these disappearances even stranger is how they vanish and how they are found–if they ever are found at all. The only real theme that seems to be constant in these cases is that they happen in or around woodland areas and that searches never seem to reveal anything that could solve a case. Victims come from all backgrounds and vanish in all parts of the country. The people who vanish run the gamut from elderly 79-year-old Fortunato River to highly experienced hikers like Morgan Heimer. If all the victims were young, this might make sense. Some, such as the disappearance of 2-year-old DeOrr Kunz might be attributed to a child who walked off and got snatched up by a bear. Part of what makes the cases in Missing 411 so bizarre is the seemingly random selection of victims. With more people than ever before taking a look into the trend of unexplainable disappearances in the woods, everyone is starting to wonder what’s the secret danger lurking in America’s national parks. Worse still, law enforcement seems to be abnormally tight-lipped about the disappearances too. Those who are found alive are in a daze, unsure of where they were. Those who are found dead often have signs of a large predator dragging them away. Unlike a typical kidnapping case, the victims vanish noiselessly, often feet away from others, and are found miles away in areas that are incredibly difficult to reach. However, things aren’t quite what they seem. Considering how easy it is to get lost in these areas, it normally wouldn’t raise an eye. In his breakout research book, Missing 411, Paulides talked about how dozens of people of all ages vanished without a trace while staying in national parks. ![]() Paranormal researcher David Paulides is different than most, though, and that’s what made him uncover a disturbing trend of seemingly paranormal disappearances in parks across the country.

The story has been featured on several primetime newscasts and on hundreds of ratio stations across the country.Ī collection of David Paulides interviews is available here.When the average person thinks of dangerous areas in the United States, they typically think of inner city areas with high crime rates. ![]() These clusters formed the basis for four Missing 411 books that have garnered widespread acclaim and multiple 5 star ratings on.

Thousands of missing people.ĭavid’s instincts told him this was a story that needed to be told. Victims’ families are left without closure and the Park Service refuses to follow up or keep any sort of national list and/or database of the missing people. People of all ages have been disappearing from National Parks and Forests at an alarming rate, all under similar circumstances. It bothered David enough that he began asking questions yet he got no answers. Following this initial week -long effort there was almost always an immediate halt to the coverage, a discontinued search for the victims and no explanation from the search authorities. The Ranger explained that during the first 7 - 10 days of a disappearance he would witness massive Search and Rescue activity and significant press coverage. Over his years of involvement with numerous search and rescue operations at several different National Parks, he had detected a trend that he couldn’t understand.
