July 1966 to September 2010: an eight-year-old boy vanishes while searching for his sister, an outdoorsman and his dog disappear on an antler collecting trip, and two visitors leave behind abandoned vehicles. Across Yellowstone National Park, four families are left without answers. What do these cases reveal about risk, isolation, and the challenges of searching this vast wilderness? Join us this week as we investigate four Yellowstone National Park cold cases. Cases covered: Dennis Eugene Johnson, Daniel Campbell, Bruce Parker Pike, & Stuart Isaac.
April 26th 2003, an experienced Colorado outdoorsman sets out alone on a day trip through Utah’s remote Bluejohn Canyon. He leaves no detailed itinerary. Deep inside a narrow passage, a boulder shifts, pinning his right arm against the canyon wall. For five nights, he battles thirst, cold, and exhaustion. Meanwhile, his family and friends scramble to piece together where he went. With his water gone and no sign of help, he faces an unimaginable decision. Join us this week as we explore Aron Ralston’s harrowing fight to survive.
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.
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.
July 28th, 2011, experienced Australian hiker Eric Robinson begins a ten-day solo trek across Utah’s remote Uinta Highline Trail. Along the way, he encounters dangerous snowfields, leaves the established route more than once, and is last seen by a Boy Scout group deep in the backcountry. 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.
