Mark Stice - San Isabel National Forest - Colorado Sep 14, 2026

Show notes

September 17th, 2013: an experienced Colorado hiker sets out alone on a five-day backpacking trip into the wilderness of the San Isabel National Forest. He planned to climb some of the rugged fourteeners of the Crestone Group. He leaves no detailed itinerary, carries no cell phone or emergency beacon, and never returns home. Searchers find his vehicle at the trailhead and later locate his camp. After a grueling eight-days through snow, ice, and dangerous alpine terrain, they suspended the search. Join us this week as we investigate the disappearance of Mark Stice.

Nathan Issiac Campbell - Denali National Park - Alaska Aug 03, 2026

Show notes

May 27th, 2020, a hiker is flown into the remote Carey Lake region of Denali National Park for a months-long solo expedition. He stays in contact with his wife through a Garmin inReach until mid-June, then suddenly goes silent. When he misses his September pickup, searchers find his supplies near the lake and a collapsed camp several miles away. Inside are his satellite communicator and a damaged diary whose final readable entry says he left to get water. No body, clothing, or clear trail is found. Join us this week as we investigate the disappearance of Nathan Issiac Campbell.

Eric Robinson - High Uintas Wilderness - Utah (Spotify Rerelease) Jul 20, 2026

Show notes

July 28th, 2011, experienced Australian hiker Eric Robinson begins a ten-day solo trek across Utah’s remote Uinta Highline Trail.

Days later, he fails to appear at the western trailhead. Search teams on foot, horseback, and by helicopter scour vast stretches of rugged alpine terrain, but find no clear trace of where he went. Join us this week as we investigate the disappearance of Eric Robinson.

Andrew Porter & Ian Stasko - South San Juan Wilderness - Colorado Jun 29, 2026

Show notes

In September 2025, two experienced elk hunters traveled into the rugged backcountry of southern Colorado for what was supposed to be an eight-day trip in the remote South San Juan Wilderness. Both men were seasoned outdoorsmen, familiar with the demands of traveling deep into the wilderness and equipped with modern navigation and communication devices.
But when their scheduled check-ins suddenly stopped, family members knew something was wrong. Within days, a massive search effort was underway, bringing in helicopters, search dogs, drones, horseback teams, and hundreds of volunteers to comb through miles of steep mountains, dense timber, and storm-battered terrain.
For nearly a week, rescuers searched for answers. The weather worsened, clues remained scarce, and the mystery only deepened.
What began as a missing persons case soon drew national attention, leaving many to wonder how two capable hunters could seemingly vanish so close to their vehicle. This week, we investigate the disappearance of Andrew Porter and Ian Stasko.

Celine Cremer UPDATE - Tasmania - Australia Jun 15, 2026

Show notes

In August 2023, we covered the disappearance of a 31-year-old Belgian traveler, who vanished after setting out on a short walk to Philosopher Falls in the dense rainforests of north-west Tasmania. What appeared to be a brief tourist hike quickly became a mystery shaped by harsh winter weather, difficult terrain, and weeks of intense search efforts.
Now, nearly three years later, new developments have brought investigators and her family closer to understanding what may have happened. In this update episode, we revisit the case, walk through the latest search efforts, examine newly discovered evidence, and look at how phone data, volunteer searchers, and the unforgiving landscape around Philosopher Falls have reshaped the leading theory in Celine’s disappearance. Join us this week as we continue the investigation into the mysterious disappearance of Celine Cremer.

Alvie Webb - San Juan National Forest - Colorado May 04, 2026

Show notes

October 19th, 2019: an elderly lifelong hunter is dropped off along Divide Road in Colorado’s San Juan National Forest for a short morning elk hunt. He’s told to follow a familiar trail down to a pickup point by 10 a.m. Around 9:00, a single gunshot echoes through the timber. By 10:00, he’s gone. Search teams, helicopters, K-9 units, and grid crews comb the aspen meadows and dense drainages but find nothing. No tracks, no gear, no trace. Join us this week as we begin our miniseries, The lost hunters of Colorado, with the baffling disappearance of Alvie Webb.
