5 JAN 2025 · On May 23, 1950, a skilled mountaineer vanished near Ape Canyon in Washington’s Gifford Pinchot National Forest. That morning, he split from his ski party to photograph them from a different vantage point—but never returned. Despite intense searches of the rugged volcanic terrain, neither Carter nor his camera was ever found. Was it a tragic accident, or is there a hidden truth lurking on the slopes? Join us this week as we investigate the mysterious disappearance of Jim Carter.
Correction: We mispoke regarding diabetes, hypoglycemia, and insulin. To eliminate confusion, we have cut these parts from the episode.

20 DEC 2024 · On June 20, 2003, a young man abandoned his car on a remote Wisconsin forest road and vanished without a trace. In the days before, he’d quit his job, withdrawn thousands in cash, and displayed strange, erratic behavior. Despite extensive searches in the sprawling Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, he was never found. Was he lost, taken, or running from something? Join us this week as we investigate the strange disappearance of Andrew Bliss.

Even the most seasoned explorers—hardened hikers and skilled hunters—have vanished here without a trace, leaving behind only faint traces and countless unanswered questions. Rumors persist of a reclusive bushman lurking in remote corners of the wilderness, whose silent watch only deepens the mystery. In these rugged Victorian Alps, stunning vistas give way to haunting puzzles that continue to perplex and unsettle all who venture in. Join us this week as we investigate the cold cases of Australia’s hidden highlands.
Cases covered: Warren Meyer, Conrad Whitlock, & Niels Becker.

22 NOV 2024 · In this special episode of Locations Unknown, Maddie from Who Runs This Park interviews us on a wide range of topics. Our conversation covered a behind the scenes look at everything that goes into Locations Unknown, the cases that stay with us the most, and whether the stories we cover have changed how we spend time outdoors. We also shared some of our wildest wilderness tales, including camping overnight with armed park rangers searching for an aggressive grizzly in Glacier National Park. Hope you enjoy the interview as much as we did.
Show note: We're off next week for Thanksgiving but will be back the following week with an all new episode.

Did Michelle succumb to the mountain’s brutal elements, or does the Holy Cross Wilderness hold darker secrets? Tune in as we unravel the mystery surrounding her disappearance.
