10 Disturbing Missing Cases

10 Disturbing Missing Cases

That Remains A Mystery


Is it possible for someone to completely
disappear off the face of the Earth
leaving no clue to their fate or go
missing for days unable to remember what
has happened to them or Worse still meet
their death in bizarre circumstances
with no plausible explanation
while in this video we'll look at 10
cases but that is exactly what happened
when the individuals involved ventured
into national parks and never returned
mirroring what David plaiders believes
these cases and hundreds like them are
unusual and mysterious
and with the lack of any other
explanation
is there something about national parks
and other forested areas around the
world that pose an unknown but Sinister
danger to us all
now before we begin if you'd like us to
go in depth on any one of these
individuals then head over to patreon at
the end of the video to take part in our
poll
the case with the highest number of
votes will be turned into an in-depth
podcast episode over on the Hit the
Lights podcast

on July 25th 1981 14 year old Stacey
Harris from Saratoga went on a horse
riding trip with her father George and
seven others in the sunrise Meadows area
of Yosemite National Park in California
after riding for a few hours the group
stopped at Sunrise High Sierra Camp
where they intended to stay the night
after freshening up Stacy told her dad
she was going for a walk to stretch her
legs and take pictures of the views
she asked him if he wanted to come but
he told her he'd pass although he did
advise her to change her flip-flops to
more suitable walking Footwear
Stacey was seen walking towards a
boulder where an older member of the
group Gerald Stewart was sitting she
told Gerald she was going to take a walk
to a nearby lake Gerald offered to walk
with her but after a short time he felt
tired and sat down to rest while Stacey
carried on alone
this was the last time she was ever seen
when Stacey didn't return it was Gerald
who raised the alarm and a search party
was sent out
however despite a vast search and rescue
operation the only thing ever found was
the lens cap from Stacy's camera
there were no indications of an animal
attack or a scuffle of any kind and no
sign has ever been found of Stacy's
camera or her clothing
she simply vanished off the face of the
Earth
the missing days of Danny flippidis
on February 2nd 2018 firefighter Danny
filippidis who was on a ski trip with
friends at the Whiteface Mountain Ski
Resort
briefly parted from the group to
retrieve his cell phone from his car
but he never returned
his disappearance sparked a massive
search
six days later Danny turned up in
Sacramento still dressed in his ski gear
with no ID except a single credit card
he had no idea how he ended up there but
believed he may have flagged down a
truck and the next thing he remembered
was the truck driver telling him he was
in Utah nearly 2 000 miles away from
Whiteface Mountain
Dany eventually got a phone but took a
day to remember his wife's phone number
to call for help
once Danny returned home safely
questions and speculations swirled
around his cross-country Journey
the supposed truck driver who
transported into Sacramento seemed to be
the only one who could solve the mystery
however authorities could not identify
the driver and despite publicity he has
never come forward
it's believed Dany suffered a head
injury at some point resulting in a
concussion and memory loss
however there are those that believe
that Daniel was abducted by aliens and
returned after they had carried out
experiments all that some other Sinister
force was to blame
the truth is we may never know it is
unlikely Dany will ever remember what
happened and with no sign of the truck
driver The Disappearance and what
happened during those last six days is a
complete mystery

Timothy Barnes
on July 5th 1988 24 year old Timothy
Barnes from Cucamonga California
intended to hike from Murphy Creek tail
head to poly Dome lakes in Yosemite
National Park
he left Tania lakes near Highway 120 at
approximately 9 am
I was expected to return by 4 30 pm
when he didn't show up the following
morning one of his friends reported him
to Park Service Rangers as missing
an extensive search of the surrounding
area failed to yield any evidence of
Timothy's whereabouts and he has never
been seen or heard from since
on July 19 1990 two years after his
disappearance Timothy was declared
legally dead
but the people just vanish Without a
Trace or do they want to
the orcans
two-year-old djorkun's Junior from Idaho
Falls disappeared on July 10 2015 while
visiting Timber Creek Campground in
Idaho
with his parents Jessica Mitchell and
vernal de orkins along with other
friends and family members
dior's parents went fishing with a
friend and thought their son was being
watched by his great-grandfather Robert
Walton
he in turn claimed he thought his
parents were watching the toddler
when they realized Dior was missing a
search was launched but no trace of the
boy was found
after the police interviewed Vernal and
Jessica and gathered evidence they
became suspects
there were discrepancies in their
accounts and they both failed multiple
polygraph tests however they were never
arrested or charged
from the beginning the parents claimed
that they did not know what happened to
their son and that as they walked
towards the creek to fish the boy
followed them but then decided to return
to be with his great grandfather
that was the last anybody saw of him
multiple massive searches have been
conducted through the Mountain Meadows
dense Pine forests and waterways in the
weeks and months since Dion disappeared
but no solid evidence of his whereabouts
has ever been found
but a few things do not add up the boy
was said to be wearing cowboy boots they
size too big for his feet which had
actually kept slipping off
and many speculated that if he was
attacked by an animal or snatched the
boots would have fallen off
but no trace of the boots has ever
turned up
both the parents publicly admitted to
the media that either of them was
capable of harming their son
since dior's disappearance they have
since split up and moved on with their
lives
but there is a lot more to this story
with far more questions and answers if

James Pruitt
on February 28 2019 70 year old James
Pruitt parked his car at the glacier
Gorge parking lot at Rocky Mountain
National Park and set out for a day of
hiking
on March 3rd Park Rangers contacted
James's family in Tennessee as his car
was parked in the lot with no overnight
permit
his family confirmed he was in the area
they hadn't heard from him since
February 28th they were unaware of his
destination for that day but said James
had no intention of staying overnight in
the park
the National Park Service initiated
extensive search efforts in the area
that were hindered by heavy snowfall but
could not locate James
search efforts continued throughout the
year the overall search area encompassed
approximately 15 square miles and
included the glacier Court drainage
the lockvale drainage and the glacier
Creek drainage but nothing was ever
turned up no clues no remains nothing
James Pruitt is still a missing person
and to date investigations continue
but similar to most of these cases there
is no explanation no closure and no
indication as to where James is now

39 year old Dr James mcgrogan was
visiting Vale in March 2014 a small town
at the base of Vale Mountain and the
center of the vast ski resort set within
the White River National Forest in
Colorado
at around 8 30 am on the morning of
March 14th Jim as he was known and three
companions left on the nine mile hike to
the eisemann hut
at the time there was a lot of snow in
the area there was several feet deep in
some parts
however Jim and his friends were
experienced hikers well prepared for the
elements
at about 10 AM with about five miles to
go the group stopped to rest but Jim was
Keen to hike on ahead of the party and
they expected to catch up with him along
the way
but he was never seen alive again
by 5 30 PM the others had notified
authorities that Jim was missing and a
rescue operation was launched
a five-day search failed to find any
signs of him
Jim's cell phone pinged once the day he
went missing but after that it went dead
20 days later a group of BackCountry
skiers found a body about four and a
half miles from the booth Falls area
it was identified as Jim he was found
still wearing his helmet but had no coat
or gloves on and strangely no boots
he was still in possession of his cell
phone in an area where there would have
been signal and his snowboard was found
nearby
his boots have never been located and
the coroner confirmed that James died of
multiple injuries including head trauma
and a broken femur and his death was
ruled an accident
but as with all these cases there are a
lot of unanswered questions as to the
circumstances that led James so far of
course
why didn't he use his cell phone to call
for help or his GPS tracker both of
which we can assume were fully
functional at the time of his
disappearance
why did he leave on his own and where
are his boots
it's been suggested he succumbed to
hypothermia and began to paradoxically
undress it's a possibility but why he
didn't call for help is a mystery and
has caused many to believe another force
was to blame
foreign
on September 22nd 2012
53 year old Linda artiga was hiking with
her brother Eddie in the forests of the
Arkansas Ozarks near the town of Saint
Joe
Eddie returned alone after becoming
separated from his sister and when she
didn't make it out of the woods a
large-scale search was launched
miraculously Linda was found five days
later in a distressed state
however when Linda was questioned about
how she ended up alone in the woods she
couldn't remember a thing
in her mind her brother was hurt and she
had tried to find help for him
as she walked through the woods she
spotted other hikers and tried to
communicate with them but they ignored
her as if she wasn't there
she also said she could see other
shadowy figures hiding from her in the
woods saying they were weird people very
weird people
one of the rescue workers who found
Linda believed she wasn't of sound mind
when he found her and had since been
speculated that whilst trying to survive
alone for five days Linda may have
ingested some hallucinogenic berries
although there was no real evidence of
this and to this day it remains unclear
what really happened to Linda and who
the strange people she referred to
actually were

morganheimer 22 year old Morgan Heimer
was working as a guide for the rafting
company tall West the group were on day
six of an eight-day trip on the Colorado
River when Heimer went missing
he was last seen on Tuesday June 2nd
2015 at approximately 4 pm around River
mile 213 near pumpkin Springs in the
Grand Canyon National Park
before his disappearance Morgan had told
the lead guide he was taking some time
off that afternoon but when he didn't
return for dinner he was reported
missing
at first searches weren't overly
concerned as Morgan had the skills and
ability to survive even if he had gotten
lost and they thought there was a high
likelihood he would be found alive and
well
but after six days of extensive searches
of both the rivers and land there was no
sign of Morgan and no evidence of him
has ever been found
this is yet another baffling Vanishing
in the national park with no plausible
explanation other than possibly
something sinister was responsible

Derek looking
24 year old Derek luking worked as an
orderly at a Pennsylvania Behavioral
Health Center in Tennessee
but when he didn't turn up for work on
March 15 2015 alarm Bells rang
attempts to contact him via his cell
phone failed and eventually it was his
roommate Ryan who confirmed he was
missing Ryan contacted Derek's family
but they had no idea where he was and
rushed from their home in Virginia to
Tennessee to help look for him
after looking through Derek's computer
they found a search for the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park and a
reservation for a hotel
the family went out looking in the area
and by luck found Derek's car a white
Ford Escape in the parking lot of
Newfound Gap on the Tennessee North
Carolina line

inside the car were several items of
newly purchased survival gear worth
around one thousand dollars
there were also Pages for a military
survival manual a wallet and some cash
Derek had obviously been preparing for a
trip Into the Wilderness he was known to
be a big fan of Bear Grylls and this led
people to believe he may have been
trying to emanate his Hero by going off
into the Wilderness without his survival
gear
however they also found a disturbing
note that read don't try to follow me
in another Twist on March 17th
surveillance video showed Derek leaving
the Microtel in and Suites in Cherokee
near the National Park
on the bed of his hotel room was a Bible
and on the floor was a liquor bottle
the video footage will be the last ever
sighting of Derek
an extensive search was launched and
Rangers interviewed other hikers who
were in The Park at the time
but strangely no one could remember
seeing Derek
Derek's Father Tim said he had noticed a
change in his son prior to his
disappearance
he had started drinking a bit and
smoking
however friends didn't believe he was
depressed or had any Suicidal Tendencies
although he was unhappy with his job
since 2012 no sign of Derek has ever
been found and he is still listed as
missing
the Great Smoky Mountain Park Service
are still searching for Derek and his
family continued to raise awareness in
the hope that one day there will be an
explanation for his Vanishing
the question is did he walk away from
life was he injured or is there some
other outcome

case of Stephen kubaki
in 2018 23 year old Stephen kubaki was a
student at Hope College a small private
Christian University near the
southeastern shore of Lake Michigan
in February of that Year Stephen went on
a solo cross-country skiing trip for a
day or two this was common for Stephen
as he was an experienced cross-country
skier
however this time he didn't return
when his search was launched a 200-yard
trail of footprints in the snow were
discovered that led past the edge of a
lake before ending abruptly leading
investigators to conclude that Stephen
drowned somewhere under a thick layer of
unbroken ice
Steven skis and backpack were also found
abandoned
an extensive air and land search was
undertaken but no sign of Stephen was
found
over a year after The Disappearance on
May 5th 1979 Stephen kubaki woke up on a
grassy knoll in Pittsfield Massachusetts
700 miles from where he had vanished
he had no memory of the previous 14 and
a half months and only realized how much
time had passed once he bought a
newspaper and saw the date
he managed to make his way to an aunt's
house in Great Barrington and from there
he was reunited with his shocked family
Stephen later told how he remembered
right up until the time he disappeared
when he got lost and felt cold
after that he had no clue what happened
to him
although the backpack he had with him
indicated he had traveled widely but he
didn't recognize any of his clothing or
the glasses he was wearing
today kubaki works as a psychologist and
is Alive and Well in the Pacific
Northwest
he rarely talks about his missing 14
months but theorists have suggested that
Stephen's disappearance was close to the
Southeastern boundary of the so-called
Lake Michigan Triangle
an area where numerous unexplained air
disasters shipwrecks and vanishings have
occurred where some believe aliens or
some other Supernatural forces are
responsible
