3 kids found in IMPOSSIBLE places Missing 411 (Part 4) · Crime and Horror

0:00
Speaker 1: Every year, hundreds of people go missing inside of national
0:03
Speaker 1: parks and forests all over North America. Of those hundreds
0:07
Speaker 1: every year, there's always a few that go missing under
0:11
Speaker 1: very strange circumstances. And one man whose name is David Politis,
0:14
Speaker 1: who's a former police detective, has made it his mission
0:18
Speaker 1: to investigate these strange disappearances. We're talking about people that
0:23
Speaker 1: are in plain sight of other people that suddenly in
0:27
Speaker 1: an instant go missing and there's absolutely no trace of them.
0:31
Speaker 1: It's like they've just vanished off the earth. In other cases,
0:34
Speaker 1: it's people that have gone missing and then are found
0:38
Speaker 1: in locations that are seemingly impossible to get to. And
0:42
Speaker 1: so these cases are explored under David Polidas's Missing four
0:46
Speaker 1: one one. He's written numerous books, created documentaries around it,
0:50
Speaker 1: and so today I'm going to focus on three of
0:52
Speaker 1: these missing four one one cases that, in my opinion,
0:55
Speaker 1: are especially bizarre and worth a closer examine. If the
1:00
Speaker 1: missing four one one phenomenon is something you want to
1:03
Speaker 1: look into more closely, I would obviously tell you to
1:05
Speaker 1: go check out David Politis and his team. I have
1:08
Speaker 1: all their links in the description, but you can also
1:10
Speaker 1: just go to one of my playlists. It's just called
1:12
Speaker 1: Missing four one one, and I put any episode that
1:15
Speaker 1: I do about Missing four one one in that playlist,
1:18
Speaker 1: and so far, this is the fourth. And if you

Speaker 1: you don't miss any of those awesome weekly uploads. All right,
1:43
Speaker 1: let's get into today's stories. In nineteen ninety nine, Alan
1:59
Speaker 1: Atadero was staying in the Comanche Wilderness in northern Colorado
2:03
Speaker 1: with his two kids. He had his daughter who was
2:05
Speaker 1: six years old her name was Jocelyn, and his son, Jared,
2:08
Speaker 1: who was three at the time. They were staying at
2:10
Speaker 1: the Poodre River Resort, which Alan actually owned. He co
2:14
Speaker 1: owned it with his identical twin brother, and Alan was
2:17
Speaker 1: up there to prepare the resort for winter. Allan had
2:21
Speaker 1: recently divorced from his wife and joined a Christian singles group,
2:24
Speaker 1: and somehow it came up that some people in the
2:26
Speaker 1: singles group asked if they could stay at the Poodre
2:30
Speaker 1: River Resort with Alan and help him prepare the resort
2:33
Speaker 1: for winter in exchange for free lodging so they could
2:35
Speaker 1: have a little vacation. Alan said that was great because
2:38
Speaker 1: he really needed the help. As soon as they got
2:40
Speaker 1: up there, eleven of the Christian singles members were talking
2:44
Speaker 1: about going to the nearby state fish hatchery. Jared and
2:47
Speaker 1: Joscelyn had heard about this and were really eager to
2:50
Speaker 1: go with them, and they asked their father Alan if
2:52
Speaker 1: that would be okay. Alan felt comfortable with Joscelyn, his
2:54
Speaker 1: six year old, going, but was reluctant to send Jared
2:58
Speaker 1: because he was three was worse that, you know, he
3:00
Speaker 1: would lag behind, and was just generally reluctant to send
3:04
Speaker 1: his youngest. But Jared really wanted to go, and Jared
3:07
Speaker 1: was saying, well, you let Jocelyn go.
3:09
Speaker 2: I want to go.
3:10
Speaker 1: Alan, maybe against his better judgment, said yep, you can.
3:13
Speaker 1: You can take Jared. Jared hated wearing shoes. Jared said,
3:16
Speaker 1: can I leave my shoes? And Alan said no, You've
3:18
Speaker 1: got to bring your shoes. And Jared really put up
3:21
Speaker 1: a fight. He didn't want to wear his shoes. Alan said, Okay,
3:24
Speaker 1: put on your shoes, we just won't tie them. That's
3:26
Speaker 1: the compromise they made. Put on his shoes, didn't tie them,
3:29
Speaker 1: and he was off. So the Christian Singles group of
3:31
Speaker 1: eleven plus Joscelyn and Jared take off towards the State
3:35
Speaker 1: Fish Hatchery, but without asking for Allan's consent. Instead of
3:39
Speaker 1: going to the State Fish Hatchery, they decided to head
3:41
Speaker 1: over to the Big South Trail, which was about fifteen
3:44
Speaker 1: miles west of the resort where Alan was. They get
3:47
Speaker 1: to the beginning of this trail, which is an eleven
3:49
Speaker 1: mile very rugged trail, narrow path. It's fairly steep. You're
3:54
Speaker 1: going up almost ten thousand feet of elevation. This was
3:57
Speaker 1: a rugged hike. This was not a beginner's hike. Now
3:59
Speaker 1: we don't know exactly what the timeline is here, but
4:02
Speaker 1: we know that Jared and Jocelyn were definitely with the
4:05
Speaker 1: Christian Singles group when they began this height. Because at
4:08
Speaker 1: some point the Christian Singles broke into like a fast
4:12
Speaker 1: group and a slow group, and during that time when they.
4:15
Speaker 2: Kind of separated into two groups.
4:17
Speaker 1: Jared had somehow run ahead of one of the groups
4:20
Speaker 1: and had come in contact with these two fishermen that
4:23
Speaker 1: were on the Big South Trail. The Big South Trail
4:26
Speaker 1: was located near a world class fly fishing area, and
4:29
Speaker 1: these two men were flyfishing and they saw Jared and
4:32
Speaker 1: they also saw these two groups of people making this
4:36
Speaker 1: climb on this trail, and they the fishermen assumed that
4:39
Speaker 1: he had to be with them. Jared walked up to
4:41
Speaker 1: them and said, Hey, have you seen any bears in
4:43
Speaker 1: the area? And they said no, and Jared just skipped away.
4:48
Speaker 1: It's believed that the two fishermen that saw Jared on
4:51
Speaker 1: the trail were.
4:53
Speaker 2: The last two people to see Jared alive.
4:55
Speaker 1: At some point, shortly after Jared has made contact with
4:58
Speaker 1: these two fishermen, group realizes they've lost track of Jared.
5:03
Speaker 1: They have Jocelyn, but they've lost sight of Jared, and
5:05
Speaker 1: so there's an immediate search of the area. They're yelling
5:08
Speaker 1: out to Jared, and after about an hour they haven't
5:11
Speaker 1: found him.
5:12
Speaker 2: However, one of the.
5:14
Speaker 1: Christian Singles members, here's a scream. It was not a
5:17
Speaker 1: scream of someone getting attacked, but rather it was way
5:20
Speaker 1: off off the trail. It sounded like a child who
5:24
Speaker 1: They would describe the scream as sounding gleeful, like they
5:27
Speaker 1: were playing with someone, like they were playing tag or
5:30
Speaker 1: hide and seek with someone if they tried to make
5:32
Speaker 1: it over to that area. But they couldn't locate where
5:35
Speaker 1: the sound was coming from, and despite yelling out for
5:37
Speaker 1: Jared constantly, they could never locate him. While the search
5:41
Speaker 1: is going on, one of the members leaves and goes
5:44
Speaker 1: back to the resort to break the news to Alan,
5:46
Speaker 1: Jared's father.
5:47
Speaker 2: Alan immediately gets in his car.
5:50
Speaker 1: He's yelling, you've lost my baby, and he drives over
5:53
Speaker 1: to the big South Trail. Now, Alan just assumed he'd
5:56
Speaker 1: be able to get out and just charge around like
5:58
Speaker 1: a maniac, yelling for his son, and he would find him.
6:00
Speaker 1: But he quickly realizes that this is a really rugged
6:04
Speaker 1: and very dense area. It's going to be almost impossible
6:07
Speaker 1: for he alone to search and find his son. He
6:10
Speaker 1: calls authorities, and authorities show up and they launched this
6:13
Speaker 1: massive search. Now, the search and rescue crew. When they
6:16
Speaker 1: showed up, they were very confident that they were going
6:20
Speaker 1: to find Jared. They felt like they had a really
6:22
Speaker 1: good sense of where he was that it would have
6:24
Speaker 1: been very difficult for him to go anywhere. They had
6:27
Speaker 1: the fishermen saying they had seen him, They had one
6:29
Speaker 1: of the members who heard his scream in a specific area.
6:32
Speaker 1: They've done these searches, unfortunately many times, and most times
6:35
Speaker 1: they find the child hiding somewhere or crying somewhere, but
6:38
Speaker 1: they're unhurt. By the next day, after a full twenty
6:41
Speaker 1: four hours of searching, when they haven't found anything, that's
6:44
Speaker 1: when the search and rescue team began to realize that
6:46
Speaker 1: more than likely this was not going to be a
6:48
Speaker 1: successful search. Now the search would go on for a week.
6:52
Speaker 1: It was a very chaotic search. The case had made
6:56
Speaker 1: national headlines, and so people were converging on this area
6:59
Speaker 1: in Call Dorado just to kind of be a witness
7:02
Speaker 1: to this case. You had volunteers showing up left and
7:05
Speaker 1: right to help search, and police had to actually keep
7:08
Speaker 1: them from going into the area because they didn't want
7:10
Speaker 1: to clutter up the search area. So it is very chaotic.
7:13
Speaker 1: And also during this time, a helicopter crashed that was
7:16
Speaker 1: searching for Jared. Luckily, no one perished in that crash,
7:20
Speaker 1: but it was just this crazy search for about a
7:22
Speaker 1: week and they don't find anything. A week after the
7:25
Speaker 1: search had begun, they officially called it off, and the
7:28
Speaker 1: going theory was that Jared had most likely been attacked
7:31
Speaker 1: by a mountain lion. Four years go by and two
7:35
Speaker 1: hikers were in the same area on the Big South Trail,
7:39
Speaker 1: walking up the trail, and they decide, and they got
7:41
Speaker 1: to this one section near where Jared went missing. There
7:44
Speaker 1: was this really steep, rocky climb that was not part
7:47
Speaker 1: of the trail, but if you wanted to, and you
7:48
Speaker 1: were adventurous and athletic enough, it's feasible that you could
7:52
Speaker 1: crawl up hands and knees all the way up this
7:55
Speaker 1: rocky face and you could get to this rocky outcropping
7:58
Speaker 1: where you'd have this great view looking down over the canyon.
8:02
Speaker 1: And so these two hikers decide to do that. So
8:04
Speaker 1: they start climbing up this rocky slope that they would
8:06
Speaker 1: say is a treacherous climb. And actually, David politis the
8:10
Speaker 1: man behind the Missing four one One Project does a
8:12
Speaker 1: video where he climbs up that rocky face and it
8:15
Speaker 1: looks very steep and difficult to navigate. So these two
8:18
Speaker 1: hikers make it to this outcropping and The first thing
8:21
Speaker 1: they notice is a pair of brand new children sneakers,
8:24
Speaker 1: white sneakers, and as soon as they see it, they think, oh,
8:27
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess a family must be up here,
8:29
Speaker 1: and they let their kid take their shoes off, and
8:30
Speaker 1: so they're looking around for, like, you know, the family
8:33
Speaker 1: that must have just been adventurous and climbed up here.
8:35
Speaker 1: But there's no one up there, and it's a small area,
8:37
Speaker 1: and they're like, huh, what are the shoes doing up here?
8:40
Speaker 1: Then they found bits of Jared's clothing near the shoes.
8:44
Speaker 1: His pants were found turned inside out, very completely turned
8:48
Speaker 1: inside out. His sweatshirt was more or less intact. Both
8:51
Speaker 1: the sweatshirt and the pants had all the signs of
8:55
Speaker 1: being out in the open for four years with you know,
8:57
Speaker 1: weather hitting hard and being exposed to the elements.
9:00
Speaker 2: They were frayed and tattered.
9:02
Speaker 1: The shoes had also apparently been out in the elements
9:06
Speaker 1: for four years, but showed almost nowhere and tear. The
9:09
Speaker 1: hikers that found them literally thought they were brand new shoes.
9:13
Speaker 1: And then around that area they also located one of
9:15
Speaker 1: Jared's teeth, and.
9:17
Speaker 2: They found a bone that belonged to Jared as well.
9:20
Speaker 1: So It really begs the question how did Jared get
9:22
Speaker 1: up nearly five hundred and fifty feet above the trail
9:26
Speaker 1: over extremely difficult to navigate terrain, And why were his
9:30
Speaker 1: shoes completely unweathered after four years of being out in
9:34
Speaker 1: the elements, And why were his shoes up there in
9:36
Speaker 1: the first place?
9:37
Speaker 2: They were untied on his feet.
9:38
Speaker 1: He certainly would not have been able to navigate the
9:41
Speaker 1: terrain up there even with his shoes laced. But if
9:43
Speaker 1: he had been navigating that terrain, he almost certainly would
9:46
Speaker 1: have lost his shoes in the process. So we don't
9:48
Speaker 1: know what actually led to Jared's demise. However, we do
9:52
Speaker 1: know that somehow he was found. His remains were found
9:56
Speaker 1: in an area that was effectively inaccessible to him. In
10:04
Speaker 1: July of nineteen thirty eight, the Bileheartz family decided to
10:08
Speaker 1: go camping deep in the Rocky Mountains. Now, the Bileheart's
10:12
Speaker 1: family was a huge family. They had ten kids, including Alfred,
10:16
Speaker 1: who was a four year old boy. One of the
10:18
Speaker 1: days they were camping, they decided to go on a
10:20
Speaker 1: hike to a great fishing spot, and so they got
10:23
Speaker 1: in this big line with all ten kids and the
10:26
Speaker 1: parents and they start walking, and Alfred was far back
10:29
Speaker 1: in that line, and at some point he must have
10:31
Speaker 1: wandered off or got separated, and at some point the
10:34
Speaker 1: family noticed there was an immediate preliminary search, and there's a
10:37
Speaker 1: bunch of them.
10:38
Speaker 2: They're calling out to their son, their brother.
10:40
Speaker 1: After this initial search results in nothing, one of the
10:43
Speaker 1: members of the family alerts authorities and it would launch
10:46
Speaker 1: a ten days search. When the authority showed up, they
10:49
Speaker 1: were operating under the assumption that Alfred must have fallen
10:52
Speaker 1: into the river and drowned, and so their efforts went
10:55
Speaker 1: into not only damning the river to stop anything going through,
10:59
Speaker 1: but they also began raking the river as well to
11:01
Speaker 1: find any of Alfred's remains. When the raking of the
11:05
Speaker 1: river and the damning of the river turned up nothing,
11:08
Speaker 1: the authorities decided to bring in some bloodhounds from a
11:11
Speaker 1: nearby state penitentiary to try to pick up his scent
11:14
Speaker 1: and find him. And so they bring the bloodhounds over
11:16
Speaker 1: to where he went missing, and right away they pick
11:18
Speaker 1: up a scent, and then, somewhat paradoxically, instead of going
11:22
Speaker 1: down to the river where all the authorities assume that's
11:24
Speaker 1: where he must have gone, the dogs turned and went
11:28
Speaker 1: up this near Sheer Cliff. They went over five hundred
11:32
Speaker 1: feet uphill to this clearing on the mountain, this little
11:35
Speaker 1: plateau on the mountain, and then they just lay it
11:37
Speaker 1: down as if they had found him. The authorities assumed
11:40
Speaker 1: this was an anomaly. There's no way this child could
11:42
Speaker 1: have gotten up nearly five hundred feet to that plateau,
11:44
Speaker 1: not to mention there was no sign of the child
11:46
Speaker 1: up there anyways.
11:47
Speaker 2: So they just assumed that the dogs must be wrong.
11:50
Speaker 1: So they sent those dogs back and got new bloodhounds
11:52
Speaker 1: to do the same test. And so they brought the
11:54
Speaker 1: new bloodhounds to the point where Alfred had.
11:56
Speaker 2: Vanished, and they did the same thing.
11:58
Speaker 1: They didn't go down to the river, followed the exact
12:01
Speaker 1: same trail all the way up nearly five hundred feet
12:04
Speaker 1: up to that plateau where they laid down to signify
12:07
Speaker 1: this is.
12:07
Speaker 2: What the scent ends.
12:09
Speaker 1: And it was baffling because there was nothing up there
12:11
Speaker 1: to indicate that he was there, or ever was there.
12:14
Speaker 1: But now you have two groups of bloodhounds that did
12:16
Speaker 1: the same thing. You can't say his scent wasn't up
12:19
Speaker 1: there because the dogs found it twice.
12:21
Speaker 2: So at the same time the search is going on.
12:23
Speaker 1: A report came in from another hiker that was about
12:26
Speaker 1: six miles away, less than twenty four hours after he
12:29
Speaker 1: had gone missing. And the report from this hiker was
12:32
Speaker 1: he was sitting down to take a rest and he
12:34
Speaker 1: looked up towards this mountain and about five hundred feet
12:37
Speaker 1: up he saw a little rocky outcropping and a boy
12:41
Speaker 1: walked out to the edge and looked down at him,
12:43
Speaker 1: and the man looked up like.
12:44
Speaker 2: How did the boy get up there?
12:45
Speaker 1: And the child let out a shrill, shrieking sound before
12:48
Speaker 1: something that was out of view pulled him backwards, and
12:52
Speaker 1: then he was never seen again. And so he reported it,
12:54
Speaker 1: and the authorities dismissed it because how could a four
12:57
Speaker 1: year old boy have moved six miles away and five
13:00
Speaker 1: hundred feet up to this rocky outcropping. However, authorities did
13:04
Speaker 1: send a team to go search that area where this
13:06
Speaker 1: hiker had seen this child, and there was nothing there.
13:09
Speaker 1: So you have these two separate locations, one near where
13:13
Speaker 1: Alfred disappeared, about five hundred feet up on a seemingly
13:17
Speaker 1: inaccessible rocky outcropping where the Bloodhounds had taken it sent
13:21
Speaker 1: to and then it vanished, and then six miles away
13:23
Speaker 1: you have another sighting of a boy that matches Alfred's description.
13:28
Speaker 1: That's another five hundred feet up on a rocky outcropping
13:31
Speaker 1: that's seemingly inaccessible to.
13:33
Speaker 2: A child, and that's all we have. Alfred was never found.
13:40
Speaker 1: In August of eighteen ninety seven, two parents and their
13:43
Speaker 1: six year old daughter named Lillian went berry picking in Maine.
13:47
Speaker 1: The section of Maine they were in was only fifteen
13:49
Speaker 1: miles away from the Canadian border, and it was very,
13:53
Speaker 1: very densely forested. At some point, the parents noticed that
13:56
Speaker 1: Lillian wasn't with them anymore. They assumed she must have
13:59
Speaker 1: wandered a couple feet away, maybe she's behind a tree.
14:03
Speaker 1: But after an hour of searching where they can't believe,
14:06
Speaker 1: they're not seeing any trace of their daughter. I mean,
14:08
Speaker 1: they're in the middle of nowhere, where if you yell out,
14:11
Speaker 1: someone's going to hear you. But there was no response
14:13
Speaker 1: from their daughter. They can't find her anywhere, so they
14:16
Speaker 1: alert authorities. Hundreds and hundreds of people came out for
14:19
Speaker 1: this search. The family is distraught. They're offering these huge
14:23
Speaker 1: rewards for any information about their daughter. You have all
14:26
Speaker 1: these very experienced outdoorsmen and huntsmen that are going out
14:30
Speaker 1: and looking for this girl. There is nothing. She has
14:33
Speaker 1: vanished completely. During this whole ordeal, friends and family would
14:37
Speaker 1: stay out in the woods overnight. They would just stay
14:39
Speaker 1: out there, yelling and calling for Lilian, and she never
14:43
Speaker 1: turned up. About forty eight hours after Lilian disappeared, there
14:47
Speaker 1: was a group of people searching an area about two
14:49
Speaker 1: to three miles away from where Lilian had gone missing,
14:53
Speaker 1: and Lilian just walks out from behind a tree, perfectly calm,
14:57
Speaker 1: doesn't look harm and she's just asking for or her mother.
15:00
Speaker 1: There's this amazing reunion. It's a miracle that she's been found.
15:04
Speaker 1: I mean, this is two days that she's been missing
15:07
Speaker 1: in the middle of rural northern Maine. I mean, anything
15:09
Speaker 1: coulda happen to her, but she's here, she's alive. When
15:12
Speaker 1: they asked the girl, what happened? Where did you go?
15:15
Speaker 1: Why did you walk away? Like what happened? She said
15:19
Speaker 1: something that pequked David Politus's interest, and this is why
15:23
Speaker 1: this became a part of the Missing four one one project.
15:26
Speaker 1: She said, the sun shined all the time in the woods.
15:31
Speaker 1: The problem with that is while she was missing, it
15:33
Speaker 1: was overcast, dark, dreary, and she was in a very
15:37
Speaker 1: dense forest where there was Even if it really had
15:40
Speaker 1: been a very sunny day, you're not getting much sunlight
15:43
Speaker 1: coming down to the forest floor. So why would she
15:46
Speaker 1: describe something as being sunny the whole time in the
15:49
Speaker 1: woods when in reality there.
15:51
Speaker 2: Was almost no sunlight.
15:53
Speaker 1: She also claimed that over the two days she was missing,
15:55
Speaker 1: she heard people talking around where she was, but she
15:59
Speaker 1: said that she needs to stay quiet because of the
16:02
Speaker 1: tramps that would be upset if.
16:04
Speaker 2: She made any sound.
16:05
Speaker 1: It's just a very strange story, and like every other
