Top 3 People SWALLOWED by the Forest Missing 411 (Part 22) · Crime and Horror

0:00
Speaker 1: Every year, hundreds of people go missing under baffling conditions
0:03
Speaker 1: in the woods of North America.
0:05
Speaker 2: I'm talking about people who are right in front of
0:07
Speaker 2: someone and then.
0:07
Speaker 1: In an instant they're just gone, or in other cases,
0:10
Speaker 1: they disappear and then are found again, but they're located
0:13
Speaker 1: in places that are impossible to get to.
0:15
Speaker 2: One former police.
0:16
Speaker 1: Detective named David Plaidis has investigated thousands of these strange disappearances,
0:21
Speaker 1: and he documents what he finds in his incredible book
0:23
Speaker 1: series called.
0:24
Speaker 2: Missing four one one.
0:25
Speaker 1: Today, we're going to look at three missing four to
0:27
Speaker 1: one one cases that even amongst strange disappearances, these rank
0:31
Speaker 1: as particularly bizarre.
0:33
Speaker 2: But before we get into today's.
0:34

Speaker 1: our channel and turn on all notifications so you don't

Speaker 1: miss any of our weekly uploads all right, let's get
0:58
Speaker 1: into today's stories. Seward, Alaska, is a port city that's
1:14
Speaker 1: about sixty miles south of Anchorage, and its home to
1:17
Speaker 1: one of the oldest foot races in America, called the
1:19
Speaker 1: Mount Marathon Race. Now, this race is not actually a marathon,
1:23
Speaker 1: because a marathon, by definition, is twenty six point two
1:26
Speaker 1: miles long. The Mount Marathon Race is actually only three
1:29
Speaker 1: miles long, but it's considered one of the most challenging
1:32
Speaker 1: short races in the world because it's basically one and
1:35
Speaker 1: a half miles straight up a mountain and then one
1:37
Speaker 1: and a half miles straight back down again.
1:39
Speaker 2: Despite its grueling nature.
1:40
Speaker 1: There had never been a fatality or a disappearance during
1:43
Speaker 1: the running of this race, but that changed in twenty twelve.
1:47
Speaker 1: Sixty six year old Alaskan resident Paul Lamte was a
1:50
Speaker 1: career counselor on a military base in Anchorage. His job
1:53
Speaker 1: was to help outgoing military members adjust to civilian life,
1:56
Speaker 1: and his primary responsibility was helping them with their resume.
2:00
Speaker 2: Side of work.
2:00
Speaker 1: Paul liked to keep himself in top physical shape, and
2:03
Speaker 1: one of his favorite activities was going for runs, and
2:05
Speaker 1: so in twenty twelve, he finally committed to running the
2:08
Speaker 1: Mount Marathon race, something he had wanted to do for
2:11
Speaker 1: some time, but he kept putting it off. In the
2:13
Speaker 1: months leading up to the race, Paul trained hard to
2:15
Speaker 1: make sure he was ready. He wasn't trying to win
2:17
Speaker 1: the race or really even be competitive. He just wanted
2:19
Speaker 1: to finish the race in a respectable time. So at
2:22
Speaker 1: three pm on July fourth, twenty twelve, Paul found himself
2:25
Speaker 1: at the start of the Mount Marathon race and his
2:27
Speaker 1: family was on the sidewalk cheering him on. The race
2:30
Speaker 1: director fired the starting gun and Paul, along with five
2:33
Speaker 1: hundred other racers, took off. For reference, a man of
2:35
Speaker 1: Paul's age and physical fitness level should be able to
2:38
Speaker 1: complete this race in about two hours or less. But
2:41
Speaker 1: at five pm, when virtually all the other runners had
2:44
Speaker 1: finished the race and Paul was nowhere to be found,
2:47
Speaker 1: his family members were concerned, but they knew he wasn't
2:49
Speaker 1: trying to win the race.
2:51
Speaker 2: They knew he was probably going to be on the slower.
2:53
Speaker 1: End, but they were now starting to pay attention and
2:55
Speaker 1: were anxious for him to show up. Forty five minutes later,
2:57
Speaker 1: a race timing crew up at the top of the
3:00
Speaker 1: out and at the turnaround point began breaking down their setup.
3:03
Speaker 1: About fifteen minutes later, when they were done, they started
3:05
Speaker 1: walking down the mountain right as Paul showed up at
3:08
Speaker 1: the top, and they said to him, you are the
3:10
Speaker 1: last racer on this course. You still want to continue?
3:13
Speaker 1: And he said, yes, I definitely still want to continue,
3:15
Speaker 1: and so the timing crew said, that's fine, just take
3:17
Speaker 1: your time, be careful, and we'll see.
3:18
Speaker 2: At the bottom.
3:19
Speaker 1: And so the timing crew they take off right in
3:21
Speaker 1: front of Paul, going straight down this well marked course,
3:24
Speaker 1: and they would turn around and see Paul standing there,
3:27
Speaker 1: catching his breath, getting ready to make his own descent.
3:29
Speaker 1: And so the timing crew, who was moving much faster
3:31
Speaker 1: than Paul, very quickly got out of sight of him,
3:34
Speaker 1: and so before long they were at the bottom. They
3:36
Speaker 1: turned around and there's no sign of Paul. So they
3:38
Speaker 1: went and found Paul's family and said, hey, we just
3:40
Speaker 1: spoke to him. He seems totally fine, but just so
3:42
Speaker 1: you know, if you don't see him in ninety minutes,
3:45
Speaker 1: I would contact the race officials and let them know
3:47
Speaker 1: because he should be down by that. And so Paul's
3:49
Speaker 1: family sat at the bottom of this race looking up,
3:52
Speaker 1: expecting to see him any moment, but ninety minutes came
3:55
Speaker 1: and went, and he never showed up. They wound up
3:57
Speaker 1: waiting another thirty minutes just in case, but again he
4:00
Speaker 1: didn't show up, and so they informed race officials. The
4:03
Speaker 1: race officials immediately contacted the Alaskan State troopers and his
4:06
Speaker 1: search was launched for him, because now FOG's rolling in.
4:09
Speaker 2: This is a dangerous course and it's starting to get
4:11
Speaker 2: pretty late.
4:12
Speaker 1: All night, hundreds of expert Alaskan searchers combed this mountain,
4:16
Speaker 1: both on the course outside the course. They even went
4:18
Speaker 1: on the backside of Mount Marathon, where it would have
4:21
Speaker 1: been extremely difficult for Paul to have gotten there.
4:23
Speaker 2: He would have had to.
4:24
Speaker 1: Climb up and over the mountain, which is just extremely unlikely.
4:27
Speaker 1: But they figured, we can't leave any stone unturned, and
4:30
Speaker 1: so all night they're looking.
4:31
Speaker 2: They got dogs out, and there's no sign of him.
4:33
Speaker 1: The next morning, when the fog cleared up, they brought
4:35
Speaker 1: in helicopters with thermal cameras and they continued.
4:38
Speaker 2: To search the mountain.
4:39
Speaker 1: But after four more days they never found Paul or
4:41
Speaker 1: any of his belongings, and so they called off the search.
4:44
Speaker 2: It was like Paul had just vanished.
4:46
Speaker 1: Now it's easy to jump to the conclusion that Paul
4:48
Speaker 1: must have just gotten disoriented and lost the course track,
4:51
Speaker 1: and then maybe he fell or he was attacked by.
4:53
Speaker 2: An animal like a bear, because this is Alaska. But
4:56
Speaker 2: there's a couple problems with that.
4:57
Speaker 1: The first one is the course itself is extremely well marked.
5:01
Speaker 2: This race is one of the oldest in America.
5:03
Speaker 1: They've been doing this for over one hundred years and
5:05
Speaker 1: they've never had a missing person or a fatality, so
5:08
Speaker 1: they know how to keep people safely inside of the
5:10
Speaker 1: course bounds. The other issue is the timing crew saw
5:14
Speaker 1: Paul at the top at the turnaround, and he was
5:16
Speaker 1: physically okay. He was talking to them, he was not distressed,
5:20
Speaker 1: and he would have very clearly seen where to go
5:22
Speaker 1: next because he would have seen the timing crew leaving
5:25
Speaker 1: ahead of him, going down the trail that.
5:27
Speaker 2: He would have to follow.
5:28
Speaker 1: Clearly, something unusual happened to Paul, either at the summit
5:32
Speaker 1: after the timing crew left, or on the way down.
5:34
Speaker 1: Because rational explanations cannot account for how Paul could vanish
5:38
Speaker 1: so completely in such a controlled environment with so many
5:42
Speaker 1: expert searchers looking for him, but to this day, no
5:45
Speaker 1: one has ever found Paul, or even the slightest trace
5:47
Speaker 1: that he was ever on that mountain. In late August
5:54
Speaker 1: of two thousand and four, Kevin Bardsley and his twelve
5:56
Speaker 1: year old son Garrett went on a father son boy
5:59
Speaker 1: scout camping in the Uinta Mountains in northern Utah. Their
6:02
Speaker 1: campsite was situated next to Lake Cuberant inside of the
6:05
Speaker 1: Wassage National Forest. The lake was actually pretty remote and
6:08
Speaker 1: difficult to access because it was almost completely surrounded by
6:11
Speaker 1: huge mountains. The only side you could get to the
6:14
Speaker 1: lake on was its western side, but the western trail
6:16
Speaker 1: leading to it was very cumbersome because you had to
6:19
Speaker 1: bypass seven different lakes, and so by the time Kevin, Garrett,
6:22
Speaker 1: and the rest of the boy Scouts and their fathers
6:24
Speaker 1: were at the lake, they were at least an hour's
6:26
Speaker 1: hike away from the nearest civilization. Early in the morning
6:29
Speaker 1: on August twentieth, Kevin and Garrett woke up, they hopped
6:31
Speaker 1: out of their tents. None of the other campers had
6:34
Speaker 1: woken up yet, and so they decided they would head
6:36
Speaker 1: down to the lake to get some early fishing in.
6:38
Speaker 1: And so they got their gear, and they began walking
6:40
Speaker 1: down the very well defined one hundred and fifty meters
6:43
Speaker 1: long trail down to the lake. As they get there,
6:45
Speaker 1: the sun's coming up over the mountains and they're really
6:47
Speaker 1: excited about their day of fishing. And so, as Kevin
6:49
Speaker 1: is preparing a fishing rod for Garrett, Garrett was jumping
6:52
Speaker 1: around on different stones that were poking out of the water,
6:55
Speaker 1: and at some point he tripped and he fell into
6:56
Speaker 1: the water, soaking his shoes in his pants, and so
6:59
Speaker 1: he hopped out of the water, and he's kind of
7:00
Speaker 1: laughing at himself, and he told his dad that he
7:02
Speaker 1: didn't care. He'd fish with wet feet and wet pants
7:05
Speaker 1: and he would change them later. And so Kevin laughed
7:07
Speaker 1: and handed his son his fishing rod, and then the
7:09
Speaker 1: two of them began to fish. After a while, when
7:11
Speaker 1: they hadn't caught anything, Garrett said to his dad that,
7:13
Speaker 1: you know what, Dad, this is actually pretty uncomfortable. I'm
7:16
Speaker 1: gonna go change my pants and my socks. And so
7:18
Speaker 1: Kevin said, no problem, I'll be here with our gear.
7:20
Speaker 1: I'll see you when you get back. And so Garrett
7:21
Speaker 1: stands up and he starts walking back up the well
7:24
Speaker 1: defined one hundred and fifty meter trail back up towards
7:26
Speaker 1: the campsite, and Kevin actually turned around and watched his
7:29
Speaker 1: son disappear into the trees, but he heard the sound
7:32
Speaker 1: of other campers at the campsite, and so knew his
7:34
Speaker 1: son wouldn't be alone. For the next couple of minutes,
7:36
Speaker 1: Kevin kept fishing, but periodically would look over his shoulder,
7:39
Speaker 1: expecting to see Garrett come out of the woods again.
7:42
Speaker 1: But he didn't, and after about twenty minutes, Kevin was
7:44
Speaker 1: a little bit concerned, so he picked up his fishing
7:46
Speaker 1: gear and began walking back up the trail towards the camp.
7:49
Speaker 1: When he got there, he saw other boy scouts and
7:51
Speaker 1: their fathers just getting up and having a bite to eat,
7:53
Speaker 1: and he's scanning around the campsite and he doesn't see Garrett,
7:56
Speaker 1: and so he goes over to Garrett's tent and he
7:57
Speaker 1: opens it up, and Garrett's not in there, and there's
7:59
Speaker 1: no sign that he's removed any of his wet clothing
8:02
Speaker 1: in there, And so Kevin turns around and he asked
8:04
Speaker 1: one of the fathers, hey, have you seen Garrett.
8:06
Speaker 2: He was supposed to be up here a minute ago.
8:07
Speaker 1: And the father said, no, I haven't seen him, and
8:10
Speaker 1: so Kevin's start in a panic and he yells out
8:11
Speaker 1: to the group, hey, has anyone seen my son? Do
8:13
Speaker 1: you guys know where Garrett went? He was supposed to
8:15
Speaker 1: be up here and no one knew where he was.
8:17
Speaker 1: They said, no, we haven't seen him, And so, horrified,
8:20
Speaker 1: Kevin drops all of his gear and starts running back
8:22
Speaker 1: towards the lake, screaming for his son, and the other
8:25
Speaker 1: campers instinctively know what's going on, and so they chase
8:27
Speaker 1: after him, yelling for Garrett. Almost immediately, the Sheriff's department
8:31
Speaker 1: was notified and they launched this huge search that included
8:34
Speaker 1: the FBI, and so hundreds of people have descended into
8:37
Speaker 1: the area around the lake and they're looking for Garrett.
8:39
Speaker 2: They can't find him.
8:40
Speaker 1: But later that afternoon, searchers were about a half mile
8:43
Speaker 1: away from where Garrett was last seen and they found
8:46
Speaker 1: a single Nike sock that appeared to have been removed
8:49
Speaker 1: from a wet foot, wedged into one of the boulders
8:51
Speaker 1: in this huge boulder field. Garrett's mother would confirm that
8:54
Speaker 1: was garrett sock, and so the search effort was shifted
8:57
Speaker 1: to this big Boulder Field, and for days they looked
9:00
Speaker 1: all over the place for him, but there was no
9:02
Speaker 1: sign of Garrett anywhere, and so eventually the search was terminated.
9:05
Speaker 1: The authorities determined this was an accident, that Garrett's father
9:08
Speaker 1: and the other campers had nothing to do with Garrett's disappearance.
9:11
Speaker 1: What their theory was is Garrett must have gotten lost
9:14
Speaker 1: on the walk back to the camp and then ultimately
9:17
Speaker 1: died of exposure. But the idea that a boy of
9:19
Speaker 1: Garrett's age would get lost along a well defined one
9:22
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty meters long trail that he was familiar
9:25
Speaker 1: with that he had been on that day, that seems a.
9:27
Speaker 2: Little far fetched.
9:28
Speaker 1: Also, as Garrett was walking down that trail, he would
9:31
Speaker 1: have heard the sounds of the other campers in the campsite,
9:34
Speaker 1: so that would have helped him figure out exactly.
9:36
Speaker 2: Where he needed to go.
9:38
Speaker 1: He's on a well marked trail, he's walking towards the
9:40
Speaker 1: sound of the voices. But he never made it to
9:42
Speaker 1: the campsite because no one at the camp saw him,
9:45
Speaker 1: and there was no sign that he had put his
9:47
Speaker 1: wet clothes in his tent. So something happened to Garrett
9:49
Speaker 1: almost immediately when he left his father that caused him
9:52
Speaker 1: to wind up a half mile away in a boulder
9:55
Speaker 1: field with one sock missing.
9:56
Speaker 2: It screams abduction case.
9:58
Speaker 1: But remember this, this campsite was over an hour's hike
10:01
Speaker 1: away from the nearest civilization, and they know, this group
10:05
Speaker 1: of boy scouts and their fathers were the only ones
10:07
Speaker 1: in the area that day. It is possible that an
10:09
Speaker 1: animal could have taken Garrett, like a mountain lion, but
10:12
Speaker 1: there would have been signs of a struggle, and they
10:13
Speaker 1: didn't find any on the trail or anywhere nearby. And
10:16
Speaker 1: you would figure if he was getting dragged off by
10:18
Speaker 1: a big predator, he would have yelled out for help.
10:20
Speaker 2: But he didn't. He just left his dad.
10:22
Speaker 1: It was total silence, and then he vanished and all
10:25
Speaker 1: we have is this one sock. In nineteen fifty, when
10:32
Speaker 1: Rosemary was twenty one years old, she married the love
10:34
Speaker 1: of her life, Charles bud Kunst, and they moved into
10:37
Speaker 1: a house together in San Anselmo, California. Together, they had
10:40
Speaker 1: six children and eleven grandchildren. They were known as a
10:43
Speaker 1: very active couple that when they were not with their
10:45
Speaker 1: family and their grandkids, they were out on a hiking
10:47
Speaker 1: trail somewhere and joining the outdoors. In nineteen ninety eight,
10:50
Speaker 1: Rosemary's life was derailed when she and her husband were
10:53
Speaker 1: in a horrific car accident. When she came to in
10:55
Speaker 1: the hospital, she was very badly injured, and she was
10:58
Speaker 1: told that her husband of nearly fifty years had not survived.
11:01
Speaker 1: Rosemary was devastated. She was lost without Bud. But for
11:05
Speaker 1: the next several months she poured her energy into her rehab,
11:08
Speaker 1: which took up a lot of her time, and it
11:10
Speaker 1: kept her mind off of this terrible loss. But when
11:12
Speaker 1: she got back to strength and returned home, a wave
11:15
Speaker 1: of grief washed over her and she began to desperately
11:18
Speaker 1: miss Bud. In two thousand, when Rose turned seventy, she
11:21
Speaker 1: heard about a backpacking trip that was being led by
11:23
Speaker 1: a group called the Earth Circle Organization, and it sounded
11:26
Speaker 1: like the perfect way for Rose to attempt to reconnect with.
11:29
Speaker 2: Her late husband.
11:30
Speaker 1: The group was led by an elder and chief of
11:32
Speaker 1: the Carrick tribe. His name was Charlie Redhawk Tom and
11:36
Speaker 1: every year he would bring this group out to Spirit Lake,
11:38
Speaker 1: which is inside of a wilderness area near Mount Shasta
11:41
Speaker 1: in California, and there they would go to the altar
11:44
Speaker 1: that Red Hawk had built right on the edge of
11:46
Speaker 1: this lake, and they would perform spirit dances and attempt
11:48
Speaker 1: to communicate with their dead loved ones. Rose wasn't going
11:51
Speaker 1: into this thinking she was literally going to be speaking
11:54
Speaker 1: to Bud.
11:54
Speaker 2: She wanted to just find a.
11:55
Speaker 1: Way to connect with them spiritually, so she was very
11:58
Speaker 1: excited about this trip. The lake itself well sits at
12:00
Speaker 1: the base of a heavily forested bowl with high steep
12:03
Speaker 1: walls all around it. In fact, some people say it
12:06
Speaker 1: reminds them of being inside of a mini volcano. And
12:09
Speaker 1: because of those high steep walls, there's actually only one
12:11
Speaker 1: way in or out to the lake, and that's on
12:13
Speaker 1: the north side. The only other semi feasible way to
12:16
Speaker 1: get in or out of the lake would be on
12:18
Speaker 1: the south side, where a river flows down into the lake,
12:21
Speaker 1: and where that river flows the embankment is less steep,
12:24
Speaker 1: although it's still a seventy degree angle and would require
12:27
Speaker 1: climbing gear and the terrain would be completely slick from
12:30
Speaker 1: the water running over it, so you could do it,
12:32
Speaker 1: but realistically nobody does that. So on August seventeenth, Rosemary,
12:36
Speaker 1: along with red Hawk Redhawk's twelve year old son, a cook,
12:39
Speaker 1: and eleven other people set out for Spirit Lake. After
12:42
Speaker 1: a rigorous twelve mile horseback ride, they finally arrived at
12:45
Speaker 1: Spirit Lake and they established their camp right on the
12:48
Speaker 1: trail that leads in and out. That night, all the
12:50
Speaker 1: participants had dinner together and then they made their way
12:53
Speaker 1: over to the altar right next to the lake where
12:55
Speaker 1: red Hawk was and he performed a spirit dance, and
12:57
Speaker 1: then afterwards, as a group, they attempted to call out
13:00
Speaker 1: to their.
13:00
Speaker 2: Dead loved ones.
13:01
Speaker 1: The following morning, at nine am, once everyone was up,
13:04
Speaker 1: red Hawk informed the group that they were going to
13:06
Speaker 1: take a day trip to another lake and they'd be
13:08
Speaker 1: back that evening. Rose told red Hawk that she'd actually
13:11
Speaker 1: prefer to just stay at their campsite and enjoy the
13:13
Speaker 1: beauty of the lake, and Redhawk told her that was
13:15
Speaker 1: just fine, So red Hawk in the main group left,
13:18
Speaker 1: leaving behind Rosemary as well as Redhawk's twelve year old
13:21
Speaker 1: son named.
13:21
Speaker 2: Chalet, and the cook.
13:23
Speaker 1: A little while later, at one pm, Rose decided she
13:26
Speaker 1: wanted to take a little hike around the side of
13:28
Speaker 1: the lake, and so she asked Shealey if he wanted
13:30
Speaker 1: to join her. He said thank you for the offer,
13:32
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna stay here with the cook. And so
13:34
Speaker 1: Rosemary said that's totally fine. I don't mind going by myself,
13:37
Speaker 1: and so she asked the cook for some food.
13:38
Speaker 2: He handed her a bag lunch.
13:40
Speaker 1: She took it, said thank you, and then set off
13:42
Speaker 1: by herself, heading south. Four hours later, at five pm,
13:45
Speaker 1: when red Hawk and the rest of the group got
13:47
Speaker 1: back to the camp, Sale and the cook informed him
13:50
Speaker 1: that Rosemary had not come back yet. A group was
13:52
Speaker 1: immediately sent out to look for her, but there was
13:54
Speaker 1: no sign of her, and so red Hawk turned to
13:56
Speaker 1: his son into the cook and said, explain to me
13:58
Speaker 1: again what happened.
13:59
Speaker 2: And she was totally normal.
14:01
Speaker 1: She just wanted to go for a hike, and she
14:02
Speaker 1: took some food, and we watched her disappear into the trees.
14:05
Speaker 1: They also told red Hawk that they had been sitting
14:07
Speaker 1: in the trail that leads in and out of the
14:09
Speaker 1: lake the entire time Rosemary was gone and they never
14:12
Speaker 1: saw her.
14:13
Speaker 2: So she didn't leave the lake. She's somewhere out there.
14:16
Speaker 2: Confused and very concerned.
14:18
Speaker 1: Red Hawk had one of the other participants leave the
14:20
Speaker 1: lake and go contact authorities, and within twenty four hours,
14:23
Speaker 1: there were fifty searchers combing the lake for Rosemary. The
14:26
Speaker 1: head of the search and rescue team was a guy
14:28
Speaker 1: named Griz Adams, who had led many other search.
14:31
Speaker 2: And rescue efforts.
14:32
Speaker 1: After studying the area and talking to Chalet and the
14:35
Speaker 1: cook and the others who were there, he just could
14:37
Speaker 1: not understand how a seventy year old woman had managed
14:40
Speaker 1: to vanish so quickly and completely, because there's no way
14:43
Speaker 1: she climbed out the south exit because she didn't have
14:45
Speaker 1: climbing gear and physically she probably wasn't capable of that
14:48
Speaker 1: even with the right gear. And she didn't leave through
14:51
Speaker 1: the north exit the main trail, because Chalet and the
14:54
Speaker 1: cook were there the entire time and they never saw her.
14:57
Speaker 2: So where was she.
14:58
Speaker 1: As the search continued to find nothing, Grizz called in
15:00
Speaker 1: more searchers on horseback, helicopters and dog teams, but the
15:04
Speaker 1: dog teams immediately proved to be useless because they were
15:07
Speaker 1: unable to pick up her scent, despite the fact they
15:10
Speaker 1: knew exactly where she started and where she was going.
15:12
Speaker 2: Griz said that was highly unusual.
15:14
Speaker 1: For the next several days, searchers looked in and around
15:17
Speaker 1: the lake and up onto the mountain sides, and all
15:20
Speaker 1: they could ever find was a small top of Rosemary's
15:22
Speaker 1: hair about a half mile away from where she was
15:24
Speaker 1: last seen.
15:25
Speaker 2: But this hair did not help investigators come up with
15:28
Speaker 2: a theory as to what happened.
15:29
Speaker 1: Ultimately, after almost a week of searching and not finding
15:32
Speaker 1: their mother, Rosemary's children elected to terminate the search. Griz Adams,
15:36
Speaker 1: the head of the search effort, said, the only time
15:38
Speaker 1: he's ever seen something like this is when someone was
15:40
Speaker 1: trying to disappear. They were trying to end their life.
15:43
Speaker 1: But Rosemary, before she went on this hike, she asked
15:46
Speaker 1: Salat to come with her. She wanted company. That's not
15:49
Speaker 1: indicative of someone that's trying to hurt themselves. But regardless
15:52
Speaker 1: of the reason, to this day, Rosemary has never been found.
15:55
Speaker 2: So that's going to do it. Guys.
