In October 2020, a woman set out for a solo hike in Idaho’s rugged Sawtooth National Forest—and never came back. Her car was found parked neatly at the Prairie Creek Trailhead, her backpack missing, and no sign of a struggle. Searchers have been routinely looking for her for the past four years and not a clue has been found as to what happened to her.

**Sorry to sound like a broken record, I recorded three episodes in a row and my mic was giving me issues! My mic was sent in for repair and they ended up replacing the whole thing due to some technical issues. Audio will be back to normal shortly!**
