Description

Each year 2,400 people, on average, get lost in the wilderness in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. 90% of those that become lost are found alive, 8 % are located deceased, and the other 2% simply vanish without a trace.

Our host Tanner Hoskins, co-Founder of Pacific Northwest Bigfoot Search and Executive Director at Pacific Northwest Missing Persons Project (PNWMPP) shares the mysterious true stories of adults and children who inexplicably disappeared while recreating in the great outdoors of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana.
Tanner will share the stories of these missing persons as well as our own expeditions into the area these people were last seen or known to be. 
We hope that by telling these stories we can help foster a community driven in bringing answers and closure to these grieving families. 

Tanner will also share stories from our organization's own personal expeditions into the wilderness in search of signs of Sasquatch activity and following-up on reports of reported bigfoot activity.
