In the wilderness of Alaska, a man named Thomas Seibold embarked on an extraordinary journey, seeking something more profound than the ordinary. With an adventurous spirit and a heart full of curiosity, he left his Wisconsin home for the wilds of Alaska in 2012.

Thomas was no stranger to the wild; a seasoned survivalist and wilderness instructor, he possessed an array of bushcraft skills that made him thrive in the rugged landscapes. His "spiritual quest" led him to Gates of The Arctic National Park and Preserve, where he found solitude amidst nature's untouched beauty.

As winter loomed, Thomas disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a trail of mystery and unanswered questions. Despite a dedicated search, no trace of Thomas has ever been found.

This episode will be released as a video on the YouTube channel Northern Crimes (out 8/6/23)
