If you’re not interested in signing up for Audible, you can also find the podcast on iTunes, Spotify, or Google Play. Just search for “Missing 411” and you should be able to find it easily.

My critical point of view is that this is a nice sentiment, and you’d want to have searchers with this attitude looking for you, but there is a number of conceivable conventional scenarios in which it would be very possible that the person would be exceedingly difficult to find or unlikely to be found. Subjects being found in an unusual position (like face down on the ground, the wrong side up in water for their gender, or with unusual lividity or state of decay for the length of their disappearance)The main analytical problem with using this as a profile point is that while it is a good place to start, the fact that the person wasn’t found is a better indicator of which variables prevent people from being found, more than it is an indicator of why or how they got lost in the first place. I will discuss this in more detail when I get to related profile points like the role of bad weather. Similarly, I would also like to see a chart of Missing 411 cases by date of disappearance, or ideally both date and time, so that there’s more to compare again with normal disappearances, and in the case of dates, also with tourist and hunting seasons, like any numbers of how many tourists or hunters can be found in the forest at what time of year. If those exact statistics aren’t available, similar ones should exist to give us an estimate. Brandabur, Michelle (June 4, 2021). " 'I am not afraid of the park. I am terrified': TikTokers are freaking out over just how many people are disappearing in national forests". The Daily Dot. Archived from the original on July 5, 2021 . Retrieved July 5, 2021.

Every year, hundreds of hikers go missing in national parks across the United States. While some are found safe and sound, others are never seen again. According to the National Crime Information Center, there are over 600,000 missing persons reports filed every year in the United States. However, if you are running some sort of medical experiment, the three most logical things to do are to get a DNA sample (ideally reproductive cells), to perform a neurological exam, and to get a stool sample, which includes the gut bacteria. Anything to do with poop may be inherently silly, but as recent advances in medical science show, gut microbiome is essential for our physical health and it interacts with our brain, affecting our mood. Not surprisingly at all, these types of things are reported by alien abductees. Of course, that says nothing about who these “aliens” are, only that they’re organized. If the person was seen, say, falling of a cliff, then that would be an explanation, just like it should be easier to find someone when you’d seen where exactly they entered the forest, at what speed, and in what state of mind. Though there are Missing 411 cases where that didn’t help, like when a person was seen chasing a dog into the forest, which only helps explain how people can get lost more often while walking a dog.

Therefore, people are willing to pay top dollar for the first edition of Missing 411 books to avoid reading contaminated information in the future. 3. Different Prices From Vendors The only conventional explanation for reliable amnesia is when it is induced by some sort of chemical. Making the target unconscious or suggestible immediately and wiping their memory after the fact would be desirable tactics for any type of predator, if they can pull it off. Besides chemicals, one could make an argument for an uncommon EM, other type of radiation, or infrasound-based technologies, but nothing should be 100% reliable.

As of August2021, [update] Paulides has written at least ten books on this topic. According to A Sobering Coincidence, he does not yet have a theory on what is causing the disappearances, although he indicates that the "field of suspects is narrowing." Paulides advised his readers to go outside of their normal comfort zone to determine who (or what) is the culprit. [15] [16] [ failed verification] The available data that connects the water-related cases together (mainly the ones of students being found dead in water in some college cities) makes them somehow more inexplicable than the cases of people who got lost in a forest and were never found (cases in which all data is missing).Much like it is with Dave’s trust in the ability of searchers to conduct proper searches, Dave also doesn’t question the ability of canines to find scent. I’m personally not an expert on animal behavior, but as I was told by a biochemist, nothing in biology is 100%. Dogs aren’t machines, which inevitably means they must have some sort of rate of error, some better and worse days, while scent can be affected by environmental conditions. Paulides, David (2011).
