June 8th 2021- A Jackson Wyoming resident, bartender, and local snowboard instructor set out for a solo hike in Grand Teton National Park with limited gear on a moderate 8-mile trail. Witnesses reported seeing him around mid-afternoon. This is the last time he would be seen. Join us this week as we investigate the disappearance of Cian McLaughlin. Correction - Our comment about bears in the park was misleading when we said there are Grizzly's and brown bears in Grand Teton National Park. While Grizzly's are technically brown bears, not all brown bears are Grizzly's. Generally, brown bears are considered to be those of the species that have access to coastal food resources. Grizzly's live further inland and typically don't have access to marine-derived food.

(UPDATE- We experienced some issues with Mike's audio feed on this episode resulting in his volume being lower than normal - we apologize to anyone having a hard time hearing the episode and will have the issue corrected on the next show.) In Episode 50, we learned about a suspicious death, a husband who remarried within months, who then fled the country. With very little coverage of the death, and even less information about the events leading up to her death, we submitted FOIA requests to fill in the gaps. Recently, one of our FOIA requests was completed and a 21-page police report on Gwen's death was sent to us. Join us this week as we continue to investigate the death of Gwen Hasselquist. A copy of the Police report will be posted on our website after this episode is published.

A Note about this episode- For our regular listeners, this episode is a departure from the normal cases we cover. A lawyer with sources close to the subject of this episode contacted us about the death of a woman named Gwen Hasselquist. While her obituary lists the cause of death as Covid-19, his sources are convinced foul play is involved. The following episode is our fact finding, in person interview, with the lawyer who has taken a personal interest in investigating this case. Since recording this interview, we have filed several FOIA requests with local law enforcement, seeking out any additional information on what might have happened to Gwen. If or when we discover significant additional information about Gwen, we will release a follow up episode to discuss the findings. There are also some quotes containing profanity so parental discretion is advised. March 2020, Gig Harbor Washington, Gwen Hasselquist is diagnosed with COVID 19, and goes missing. Shortly after an obituary is posted in the local paper indicating that she passed away from the illness. However, there are conflicting statements about the actual cause of her death. Join us this week as we investigate the death of Gwen Hasselquest. New Patreon supporter shout-outs: Becca & Samantha Anderson Want to help the show out and get even more Locations Unknown content!

In episode 3, we discuss the disappearance of Bobby Bizup, who went missing on August 15, 1958 while attending summer camp at St. Malo Retreat which sits on the Southeastern edge of Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. Almost a year after his disappearance, a broken hearing aid, some ripped clothing, and bone fragments were found nearly 2000 feet up Mount Meeker, in an area already searched by authorities. This case has puzzled law enforcement and fascinated the general public for decades. The strange disappearance of Bobby Bizup remains unsolved to this day. To help us make sense of this case we sat down with the Director of Search and Rescue for Rampart Search and Rescue, Dave Haskin. Dave has over 46 years of Search and Rescue experience in Colorado and currently leads a team of over 40. Join us as we try to piece together what happened to Bobby Bizup. Due to time constraints on this episode, we had to cut out a lot of great content from our interview with Dave. We will be releasing the full unedited interview with Dave as an add on to this episode in the coming days.

The Stanislaus National Forest is located in Tuolumne County California, near the northwestern part of Yosemite National Park. The forest is home to hundreds of miles of streams, rivers, and over a thousand miles of trails. Yet, just beyond the forests beauty lies a dark and mysterious past. From 2005 to 2016, three individuals have gone missing, without a trace, at the exact same location; Donnell Vista Point. Join us this week as we investigate the Donnell Vista Point Disappearances. Correction 1- During the location profile we correctly listed out the wildlife in this area of California. However, we misspoke further in the episode in regards to Grizzlies in California. One of the joys of doing the show live is you can't edit or re-record spots you mess up. One of us asked if there were Grizzlies in this area and the other host replied no but stated there are Grizzlies in other parts of California. This is incorrect. There are no Grizzlies in California and there haven't been for decades. Thank you to our listeners for pointing this out. Correction 2 - The first subject of the episode was correctly described as moving from over seas to Oklahoma and residing in Nevada at the time of her disappearance. We correctly mentioned that she originally drove from Nevada to Donnell Vista Point. However, further in the episode, one of the hosts misspoke and referenced Oklahoma multiple times when he should have said Nevada. We apologize for the error and again thank our listeners for pointing this out. Want to help the show out and get even more Locations Unknown content!

Episode 8 on the Alaska Triangle is live! Listen directly at: https://locationsunknown.podbean.com/e/ep-8-the-mystery-surrounding-the-alaska-triangle/ There are certain areas of the planet that seem to be magnets for mysterious disappearances that defy our understanding of science and nature.

We'll be returning mid September with some exciting new cases and some big news regarding one of our previous episodes on Arvin Nelson.. You won't want to miss it! July 2nd, 1938, 4-year-old Alfred Beilhartz is camping with family and friends in Rocky Mountain National Park. Alfred and his father went to the nearby Fall River to bathe and prepare for the start of their day. When Alfred ran off to spend time with other campers in their party, he was never seen again. In the hours following his disappearance over a 150 searchers and bloodhounds scoured the surrounding area, diverted river waters, and drained a nearby reservoir, sadly turning up no sign of Alfred. Even stranger, hikers reported possible sightings of Alfred thousands of feet up from Fall River on a treacherous ledge named Devils Nest. When the hikers reached Devils Nest there was no sign of him. What happened to Alfred? What did the hikers see? How could a 4 year old hike thousands of feet in only a few hours?

On November 16th, 2015 seven men set out to hunt Lily Pond Road at the Lake George Wilderness Area in Upstate New York . The men were all experienced hunters, had communication devices, were not far from their camp, and were on a commonly used road. After hunting for a couple of hours the group decided to return to their cars. Tom Messick, who was sitting in one spot about 40 yards from the main road, was never seen or heard from again. The following day, an extensive search and rescue operation was launched in the immediate area of his disappearance. At the peak of the search, over 50 organizations and upwards of 300 searchers were trying to find Tom. The search failed to find Tom or any evidence he had even been in the woods that day. How could an experienced hunter have gone missing in such a short period of time? Why did two FBI agents show up? Join us this week as we piece together the bizarre details behind the disappearance of Tom and search efforts that followed.

January 31, 1959, a 23-year-old ski hiker named Igor Alekseyevich Dyatlov (Dee-at-lao-v) embarked on a journey to reach the peak of Otorten, a mountain in the Northern Urals. The Soviet college student brought a team of eight experienced hikers from the Ural Polytechnic Institute along with him for the adventure. Before he left, Dyatlov had told his sports club that he and his team would send them a telegram as soon as they returned. On February 2nd the group set up camp on the slopes of the now named Dyatlov Pass. During the night, something forced members of the group to tear out of their tents fleeing into the subzero winter climate. Join us this week as we investigate what could have caused the group to run from the safety of their camp and the mysterious circumstances that led to their deaths. This is the story of the Dyatlov Pass.You can find our Podcast on all the major podcast directories including iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Stitcher, TuneIn and more.
