Missing 411

Mike Heron: The Great Smoky Mountains is a stunning mountain range that spans the border of North Carolina and Tennessee. It is home to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which covers a vast area of approximately 520,000 acres. The park boasts hundreds of miles of trails, making it a popular destination for hikers and explorers. It also offers excellent camping opportunities. With so many people passing through each year, it seems impossible to go missing without a trace, especially if you are familiar with the area. However, that is exactly what happened to 51-year-old Mike Heron in 2008.

Garrett Bardsley: In August 2004, 12-year-old Garrett Bardsley and his dad Kevin were camping with their Boy Scout troop at Cuberant Lake in the Uinta Mountains in Utah. On the morning of the 20th, they intended to start their day fishing. However, after fishing for a short while, Garrett's shoes, pants, and socks got completely soaked in the lake. So, he decided to return to camp to change into dry clothes. Since the camp was so close to the location, Kevin agreed that Garrett could go back alone. The rest of the group moved on to the next lake, but Garrett's dad decided to continue fishing in Lake One and wait for his son to come back. He could even see him in the distance as he made his way back to camp. However, after about 20 minutes, Kevin became increasingly agitated as Garrett had not returned. Thinking that maybe his son had got delayed by something, he decided to walk back to the campsite to meet his son. However, when he got there, Garrett was nowhere to be seen. Kevin searched the immediate area, but there was no sign of Garrett. He then returned to the main group, thinking maybe Garrett had caught up with them. But no one had seen him. A search was immediately launched, and the adult leaders and other volunteers combed the surrounding woods and scoured the lakes. Despite an extensive search, few clues were found about his whereabouts.

Bia B Scher: Bia B Scher was an experienced outdoorsman, wildlife researcher, artist, writer, philosopher, and hunter. He spent a significant amount of time exploring different wilderness areas across the world, such as Wyoming, Africa, Montana, Alaska, and Asia. Whilst in Russia, he met and fell in love with Tanya Perova, and together they had a son named Aron. Bart made a living by trapping grizzlies and tigers and fitting them with radio collars for research and conservation purposes. In his free time, he hunted with a homemade longbow that he crafted from Russian ash and Tig suu based on an almost 5,000-year-old design. In 2004, Bart embarked on a trip to the Canadian wilderness, and on September 14th, he was dropped off at the larger of the Reed Lakes in Canada's Yukon Territory by a chartered floatplane. Unfortunately, that was the last time anyone saw him alive. When the plane returned two weeks later to pick him up, Bart was gone. On September 30th, Bart was reported missing, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police conducted a search, but unfortunately found nothing. What they did discover was leftovers from a meal in his tent and evidence he had used his boat to paddle down the lake from his camp. His boat was found approximately half a mile from the site.

Samy Boy: Samy Boy was just 8 years old when he vanished into thin air whilst playing hide-and-seek with his father near the Cleetwood Cove area at Crater Lake National Park in Oregon on October 14th, 2006. At around 4:00 p.m., Samy and his father Kenneth stopped at a pullout about 500 yards east of the Cleetwood Cove parking lot. From there, they started walking on the north side of Rim Drive. The pair reached a cinder slope where Samy wanted to play hide-and-seek. Father and son played for a bit, but as it was getting dark, Kenneth started walking back to the car, telling Samy they needed to head back to their rented cabin near Diamond Lake. However, Samy stayed on the slope, refusing to come down. Ken chased after his son, but Samy thought it was a game and moved further and further away until he disappeared out of sight over the top of a hill. By the time Kenneth reached the top, Samy was nowhere to be seen. However, Ken wasn't initially concerned, as Samy had done a similar thing in the past. When he attended the day camp program at the Sellwood Community Center between 2012 and 2016, there he was known for hiding and often had to be coaxed out of his hiding place. It was just a fun game for him. On one occasion in 2014, whilst at the camp, Samy hid and couldn't be found, so the police and his mother were called. When she arrived, she screamed, "Sam, you've won, you're the best hider," and at that point, he popped out from behind a tree. His mother also said that he liked to dig holes to hide in, but on this occasion, no amount of screaming could locate Samy. A search party was launched, and for a week, tracker dogs, helicopters, and heat-sensing cameras were used, but no trace of Samy was ever found. The Siskiyou County Sheriff's Department began searching without any delay, and they sought the aid of a California National Guard air ambulance helicopter, as well as a California Highway Patrol helicopter equipped with an infrared sensing device. Furthermore, a ground search was initiated with the participation of the US Forest Service Rangers and volunteers on skis and on foot. During the search, a Forest Service ranger reported speaking with an older man near Lake Helen about climbing roots, but it was unclear if the man was Landers or not. Landers's family and friends were initially optimistic he would be found safe and well. He was wearing two to three layers of clothing, hiking boots with crampons, and carrying a backpack containing some food and water. The weather was fine, and the terrain was not forested, and the route Landers would have taken was a clear, well-used path. There were no hiding places or parts that would lead to densely covered areas where he could have got lost. However, as the days went on, no sign of Landers was found: no clothing, no tracks, nothing to indicate he was even on the mountain. The only possible sighting was by the Forest Ranger. Landers's story is similar to that of John Nezar, an 80-year-old who went missing on Mount Shasta on July 17th, 1965. Nezar, like Landers, was an experienced climber who had summited the mountain over 40 times. He was last seen at Helen Lake, and no sign of Nezar or his equipment has ever been seen since. The disappearance of Kyl Landers remains one of America's most perplexing and mysterious disappearances, with seemingly no plausible explanation, and as of 2024 is no nearer to being solved than the day Landers vanished. There is some speculation that Carl may have deliberately wandered off, having achieved what he had wanted to and was perhaps done with life; however, his friends and family have quickly dismissed this theory. There was absolutely nothing in his life that would cause Landers to do that. There are, of course, those who believe that Mount Shasta is connected to alien abductions due to the many myths and legends surrounding the area. Some of these stories suggest that there is a hidden city beneath the mountain peaks, which may be uninhabited or populated by technologically advanced humans or mythical creatures. There have been numerous reports of UFO sightings near Mount Shasta, which some locals believe to be linked to the hidden city. There have also been stories about Bigfoot sightings in the area. It sounds crazy, but with no other explanation, who knows what happened. So that's it for this video. That was five 411 cases that we have been scratching our heads at since reading about them. Thanks for watching, and if you have any information or theories on these five cases, please leave a comment down below.
