Description

Justin Alexander was a survival expert, a full-time vagabond, and the kind of man who could disappear—if he wanted to. But in 2016, after venturing into India’s remote and unforgiving Parvati Valley, he didn’t come back.


Led into the Himalayas by a holy man on a so-called spiritual quest, Justin left behind whispers, half-truths, and a cryptic, haunting message:


"If I’m not back by mid-September, don’t look for me."


Status: Untraced is a gripping journey into the unknown—a search through treacherous landscapes, whispered legends, and truths that refuse to sit still. Because out there in the wild, the line between lost and gone can be razor thin.


New three-part mini-season cover's the 2010 disappearance of 23-year-old Aubrey Sacco, who set off alone into Nepal’s Langtang National Park — and never came back.

if Justin and baba had an argument, maybe Justin went down the path where his stuff was to think, smoke, get high... he placed his items down (the ones found)... he's high and falls, with remaining items...ie camera and backpack. Amazing podcast... thanks for reporting... wish Justin was found alive!

So his last message was "don't come look for me if I don't return" so they decided let's take a crew and try to do what he said not to and make it very public record lol

I think it is pretty obvious that Justin was sitting by the river and he was in poor health, not prepared for the hike and probably high, and when he stood up he blacked out or had a moment of dizziness and fell off the mountain. I have thought this from the very beginning. Everyone should have listened to him and left him and instead I feel they are responsible for the death of the old man. Look at how many tourists in the United States are trying to get a good picture and fall off.
