Hello friends and welcome to episode number six in our unsolved National Park Disappearances series where we present 10 more cases for you to bond her. In the United States National Park System alone there are more than 84 million acres of preserved woods, deserts, mountains, and other wilderness. So it's no surprise that in the past 100 years there have been a number of cases of reported missing persons. But what's most disturbing is

1:04these numbers are increasing and alarming rate and the circumstances behind these disappearances can sometimes be beyond bizarre. They will discuss 10 more unsolved National Park Disappearances here in episode six. Please note that some of the cases have very limited information to bill. Sit back, relax, and let's begin. Number 10 Michael Heron 51-year-old Michael was last seen on August 23rd, 2008. Michael lived in Merville, Tennessee at the end of Bill Branch Road in Happy Valley. Michael was a contractor with two sons in their early 20s. His parents lived in an adjacent property and enjoyed living in the Smoky Mountains National Park. Michael's parents lived on the northern edge of the park and Michael liked to head over to their property to mow the lawn. That was exactly

2:04what Michael's intentions were the day he went missing. Michael's truck with a trailered mower in the back was parked at the end of his driveway as he was prone to do. Before heading over Michael emptied his pockets of his keys, money clip, wallet, cell phone, and his gun, which he left on the counter. Michael then walked out to the garage and hopped on the ATV driving back up his street. Chill how he liked was less than three miles from his house with a large metal adjacent to his property. A large river twisted through the landscape less than three quarters of a mile to the south. Michael never made it to mow his parents lawn. His truck was found in the driveway with the mower still on the trailer. His purse the property lay on the counter, where he left it undisturbed. His parents waited, hoping it would come back. But after a day passed with no Michael, his parents called his two sons who responded immediately. His two sons contacted lawn force. The shares

3:08deputies located in the Yamaha Wolverine ATV one mile from Michael's residence near Adam's Creek. The ATV was found to have been shut off using the kill switch, something his two sons said he would never do. The ATV was found less than three quarters of a mile from the great Smoky Mountains National Parks northern border. After an extensive search by the Sheriff's Department using canines, ground teams, helicopters, and searches on horseback, nothing was found. The Blunt County Sheriff's Department said they did not believe any foul play was involved in his disappearance, although Michael was never seen again. Number nine, Joe Clouley. 73 year old Joe Clouley was reported missing July 13th, 2018. Joe, a US Navy veteran was born in Lansing, Michigan. He was married with five children. After studying electrical design, he moved the family

4:11to Russ Common, Michigan. Russ Common Lake lies about 120 miles south of Tacuament on State Park. Joe had an engineering services company that he operated successfully for 25 years. Joe and his wife Lorraine spent their winners in Panama, Florida, and will go north to the Higgins Lake area on the lower peninsula of Michigan. Family owned a two-room log cabin built in the 1920s, located near the Whitefish Township on the northern bank of the Tacuament on River. The cabin was without running water or electricity. They got their water from a local spring near the cabin. Joe loved the cabin, but his wife didn't share his appreciation for the rustic nature of the home. Lorraine would head to the cabin on weekends while Joe would spend weeks there. Joe drove a 1992 Silver Olesmobile silhouette van that he parked on the north side of the Tacua Trail in the State Park the day he went missing. His dog, a nine-year-old

5:15Springer child mix, accompanied him on that faithful day. Family members say Joe's dog Chip would never leave his side and was a loyal companion. After parking his van, he opened the door and let Chip out as they started the one-mile hike to his cabin. Joe called his wife every morning at 9 a.m. and every night at 9 p.m. to stay in touch and report that all was good. That day, Joe and Chip went on their usual hike and made it back to the van. It was at this point that both the man and his dog disappeared. Law enforcement found Joe's keys in the unlocked van, something his family says he would never do. The search for Joe Cleley was the largest in Michigan's history. The search included the sheriff's search and rescue team, a nine units, the Michigan State Police and BIA officers along with a large contingency of volunteers. The search area covered 10,000 acres and

6:15although it was officially suspended after four days, volunteers continued to search for weeks. Oddly enough, less than a month later, the family dog Chip was found sitting at the front door of the cabin. A bit thinner, but otherwise in good health. The dog did not look as though it had been in the forest for several weeks and Chip didn't bark for three days after his return to the cabin, something very unlike the dog's normal behavior. Joe was the second person within four years to have disappeared from this region. He was never seen again. Number eight, Larry Davenport. Twenty-year-old Larry Davenport disappeared on July 17 of 1983 in the Ronemountain State Park in North Carolina. Larry was on a camping trip with friends. Ronemountain started North Carolina in Tennessee and are part of the same mountain range as the great Smoky Mountains. Larry was

7:20seated at a wooden table with friends when he got up and headed into the woods. His friends assumed he was going into the woods to relieve himself. Larry never returned. His friends called in the park rangers and for three days, searchers looked for Larry. No found no evidence before he could have gone. Three days later and eight miles from the campsite, Larry was found naked and hallucinating. He had no idea what happened and had a curtain wrapped around his shoulder that he said he'd gotten from a abandoned cabin. He was in coherent and had scratches over his entire body. Hundreds of searches had failed to find Larry and he had no recollection of what had happened to him. He was later transported to hospital and treated for acute brain syndrome. Larry was the second individual this had happened to him in the same park in a two-week time span. Both males both found naked and hallucinating.

8:23Number seven Charles McCullough. In 1974, 19 year-old Charles or Chuck McCullough left his home state of Virginia for an extended photography and hiking trip. Charles was a keen photographer and he was planning to visit all the national parks to take photographs. It was inexperienced in the wilderness and was said to be very ill-prepared. It seems that he had planned to hike to crater lake along the north road. I have a snowfall during the previous two weeks dropped over five feet of fresh snow in the area. Cross-country skiers reported that at the time the snow was so soft and powdery that even with skis they were sinking up to their waist. Charles had told his friend that if they did not hear from him by February 1st, the college reported missing. When Charles failed to call his friends they filed a missing person to report. Immediately an extensive air and ground search of the northern section of the park was started but no clues as to Charles

9:27disappearance were uncovered. A year later two hikers from Texas took a wrong turn and ended up in a remote canyon when they stumbled upon an old dirty ripped backpack in a place called Bibi Creek. The hikers called in the park rangers and one of the seasonal rangers remembered the description of Charles backpack. So another search took place in the area where the backpack was found and the very next day Charles remains were located. The skeletal remains were described as bizarre. There were foot bones in the socks but Charles jeans were empty except for the broken off ends of his shin bones sticking up. Strangely the jeans were unbuttoned and the belt buckle left undone. The rest of him was simply gone as if he just melted away. The official cause of death was determined to be natural causes. Number six, Michael Malinowski, 37-year-old

The area is very close to Pine Creek Gorge which is known as Pennsylvania's Grand Canyon. Michael was attending a psychology conference at the time of his disappearance. Michael was a clinical psychologist with the next wife and son who both lived in San Francisco. Michael was staying in a lodge near Gaines, Pennsylvania and it stayed there in the past so it was familiar

11:34with the area. The lodge was surrounded by state and federal land it was originally built back in the 1930s. Michael checked into the lodge, turned on the heater, and settled in for the night. He was scheduled to stay a second night but never showed up. After a cleaning person noticed he left all his belongings in the room and the bed wasn't made, they called the police. Michael's 1995 Nissan Center was found parked at the head of a trail on November 2. The trail was an access point to the Barber Rock overlook of the Pine Creek Gorge. Along with a box of half-eaten snacks a pair of hiking boots were found on the floor of the Nissan. And cell phone was in a backpack on the seat but he was nowhere to be found. The Hogan County Law Enforcement immediately began a search using volunteers, search and rescue team, helicopters and canine. However, no evidence was found. The search for Michael was the largest and most expensive in the history of

12:35Togga County. There was never any activity on any of Michael's credit cards or a social security number following his disappearance and his son says he was never heard from again. Number five, Trenny Gibson. Trenny Gibson was 16 years old when she disappeared from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park on October 8th, 1976. A group of students from Beard and High School set out for a hike in the National Park. There were 40 students in all and they were hiking the Appalachian Trail from Andrew's Ball to Klingman's Dome. Trenny Gibson was part of the group of students taking the hike. Trenny had been hiking with different groups throughout the day chatting with one group before moving on to the next as they made their way along the route. At around 3pm, Trenny was with a group that was positioned about a half mile from the Klingman's Dome parking area. It was around this time

13:39that Trenny disappeared. The area where she was last seen was on an established trail with an expansive dense forest lying to the sides. There would be no reason to step off the trail into this hazardous area. The weather for that evening of October 8th, 1976 produced strong winds and heavy rain while temperatures dropped into the thirties. While all descriptions, Trenny was athletic, very responsible and not the type to run away. One of the people on the trip described being about 200 feet from Trenny when she saw her lean over to look at something on the side of the trail and then disappeared to the right of the trail. A student that was hiking with Trenny when she disappeared described how she was on the trail when I last saw her. I checked the area where Trenny was last seen. No trail leading off very rough, small stream, Russian trees, yelled but no answer. The National Park Service and Law Enforcement followed up on every

14:42conceal by angle. Trenny was never seen again. On one of my live streams on this channel, I guess Laura Rist, who's considered by many to be the expert on the Trenny Gibbs and Disappearance, you like more information? Have a look for that live stream on the channel. It's worth a listen. Number four, Carol Van Huller. Julio Carol Van Huller went missing on June 28th, 1959, in the Dickinson County picnic grounds in Michigan. The Van Hullers had four daughters and took them to the Dickson County picnic grounds at Norway Lake for an afternoon of outdoor fun. Carol's mother was rating the group for dinner when she noticed Carol was missing. After a quick search, law enforcement was notified. Large-scale search was conducted using 500 searchers, a helicopter, and canines.

15:42Although the canines picked up on her scent, they would then lose it. About 13 hours into the search, the search and rescue team could hear a faint cry from a child. In an area having laden with swamp and underbrush, authorities found Carol. The previous September, a four-year-old boy had vanished under similar circumstances, but he was found dead of exposure four days after he went missing. Carol was taken to the hospital, was scratches, and signs of exposure. Number three, LC Davis. 24-year-old LC Davis disappeared from Hal Hill, Maine, July of 1911. LC was an organist at a church in Bethel, Maine when she went missing on Sunday, July 30th, 1911. LC had played for the morning services at the church and then headed home in Hal Hill. Around noon, that Sunday LC disappeared. Initially, her parents thought she may have walked

16:43into the woods behind their house. The search ensued. Over 800 people volunteered in the search. Desperate to find their daughter after three days of searching, the Davis received a handwritten note from a psychic who stayed that LC would be found, but that she would be in a tree, and that searchers needed to look up. On the afternoon of the fifth day of the search, searchers come through very rugged terrain three miles into the woods. They found personal belongings of LC scattered around the area. After hearing a noise, they looked up and found LC about 20 feet up in a tree with little clothing. LC was brought down and seemed incoherent. She had no recollection of what happened after she left the church. Through all the questioning, law enforcement wasn't able to get any information as she survived the five days in the woods. She had no memories of what happened. Number two, John Long. John Long was 58 when he went missing in Eli, Minnesota on April 10,

17:501963. John was a logger and had been working at the tomorrow timber company near Echo Trail. John left that day to go on a hike along the Moose River to watch spawning fish. For protection, John and brought along his 22 caliber rifle. He never returned, so his fellow workers went to search for him. After coming up in, he handed the workers notified the local law enforcement. A four-day search was organized with the Sheriff's Department using planes and search teams on foot, but John was never located. Number one, Milda McQuillan. Milda McQuillan was 72 years old at the time of her disappearance. Milda vanished while driving her pee-green two-door at 1968 Dodge on east bad medicine-like road on the outskirts of Ponsford, Minnesota. Recent rain had made the unpaid roads muddy,

18:51and a few miles into the 18-mile trip McQuillan's car stalled. A postal carrier she knew helped her get it started again. Later on in the trip, just a mile from her friend's home, she made a wrong turn and asked a truck driver for directions. She never arrived at her friend's house, and that truck driver was the last person to have seen Milda. Milda was reported missing two days later by her friends. Searching rescue efforts were immediately deployed. Then, three days later, her car was found abandoned, stuck in the mud on an unused logging road, approximately 100 feet off east bad medicine-like road, 30 miles west of Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. Then, after another three days had passed, 52 members of the National Guard were deployed to search the same area and found her scarf and belt hanging from bush in plain sight. The area where Milda vanished was in a heavily wooded swamp area about 20 minutes from Maplewood State Park. Milda has not been seen or heard from since.
