According to Paulides, every person should be found, especially if they are a small child or if they’re mentally or physically disabled and therefore presumably unable to travel long distances. Paulides also keeps mentioning that he doesn’t question the thoroughness of the searches or the dedication and skill of the searchers, or effectiveness of canines or helicopters with FLIR. There is a chance that at least some perpetrators would slip up and instead of the most opportune times and dates go for a compromise between opportune times and times convenient for them. That’s why it is so important to not ignore this data, but instead compile it and look for discrepancies between the normal distribution and Missing 411 distribution of times and dates of disappearances on a large enough sample that will therefore give it sufficient statistical significance and reliability. My critical point of view is that this is a nice sentiment, and you’d want to have searchers with this attitude looking for you, but there is a number of conceivable conventional scenarios in which it would be very possible that the person would be exceedingly difficult to find or unlikely to be found. Right off the bat, it is important to distinguish coincidence from correlation. When Paulides subtitled one of his book A Sobering Coincidence, I’m pretty sure that he was talking about correlations — elements of the cases repeating in multiple cases. Coincidence is not the fact that something keeps repeating or happening in similar ways, it is a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection. An isolated concurrence so unlikely that it’s suspicious by itself.

Similarly, some traits like high intelligence, excellent physical condition, or relevant expertise and preparation are inherently suspicious, even if they happen in statistically insignificant numbers. After all, if there is an intelligent perpetrator behind at least some of these cases, they can be smart enough not to kidnap and kill too many people. But if they’re after exceptional (and therefore potentially valuable) targets, they can’t hide that, or even necessarily be able to do without specific targets, however unlikely those target people are to get lost or succumb to the elements.In these cases, it is often the family and friends of the missing person who continue to search for them, long after law enforcement has given up. Unfortunately, there are many people who go missing and are never found. What Can You Do to Help Find Missing Persons? If the person was seen, say, falling of a cliff, then that would be an explanation, just like it should be easier to find someone when you’d seen where exactly they entered the forest, at what speed, and in what state of mind. Though there are Missing 411 cases where that didn’t help, like when a person was seen chasing a dog into the forest, which only helps explain how people can get lost more often while walking a dog.

There are many reasons why people might want to believe in the existence of feral people, such as the appeal of a hidden society living off the land, but there is simply no evidence to support these claims. All of which are attributes that should be connected with strange disappearances, if you think about it. If there already was a history of people getting lost or being found dead hundreds of years ago, maybe there always were hunting grounds of local predators, maybe there always was a settlement of local “wild men”, or maybe something about the natural environment itself was always potentially deadly to visitors. If you think that this whole scenario is crazy, then you haven’t watched enough Star Trek. There are multiple instances of Starfleet observing pre-warp civilizations (which it is not allowed to interfere with due to the Prime Directive) from a secret base cloaked as part of a mountain. If we can already think of that, and undoubtedly would do it ourselves given the opportunity, it’s not crazy. What’s weird is that this is not happening in all of the parks equally, suggesting that a thorough comparison should be made. This is five times the rate in California and three and a half times the rate of Arizona, which is in second place. The most likely explanations for the high rate of missing persons in Alaska are its large rural area and its large indigenous population.The Missing 411 books were written by David Paulides. David is a former police officer who is now a writer and investigator notably known for his self-published conspiracy books. These are just some of the most famous cases of mysterious disappearances in history. Why Do Most Missing Persons Cases Get Resolved? Whatever the cause, missing hikers are a serious problem in our national parks. And while there is no easy solution, increasing public awareness of the dangers is a good place to start.
