Article On Suspicious Patterns In Missing People

Some interesting things found around the interwebs lately have me thinking… The most behind I am in posting is my commentary on some fascinating articles I’ve come across recently.

For example, this story about how people are going missing from remote areas in national parks (and how authorities are pretty much hiding it, or at least not raising any alarms):

This guy began a series of books called Missing 411: North America & Beyond, in which he documents some patterns of suspicious and unusual circumstances related to people who disappeared and were never heard from again. Some of them are, of course, but the pattern that is found:

“The scope of the missing books deals with a specific profile of missing people that has never been identified or discussed. These cases involve people who have disappeared in rural areas and many have the following issues associated with their disappearance: A) Tracking dogs cannot pickup a scent B) People are found missing clothing or shoes C) Once found, the victim cannot remember what happened E) They are located in areas that don’t make sense F) People disappear with their dogs G) The person disappears in the afternoon H) Berries are somehow associated with the disappearance I) When found the person is semi-conscious or unconscious J) The individual is part of a cluster of missing people. K) Water/swamps are associated at some level with the disappearance L) Weather turns bad after the disappearance.“

Intrigued? One example given:

“In this story the boy was 21 months old. I ask the readers to remember back when they were around a child that young. How well could they toddle and how far could they walk. How quickly could they get out of your view? How much stamina does a 21-month old child have? In this incident the boy was in his residence with the family dog and his mother. She left the room momentarily and somehow the boy and the dog got outside. There was a large open field surrounding the residence before reaching thick woods. The mother realized that her son and the dog were gone and ran outside to check the yard. The boy and the dog were not only in the yard, they weren’t anywhere in sight. The mother called the sheriff and searchers started to arrive in mass. By late in the afternoon, the weather started to change to rain. Searchers continued to walk the surrounding property and found nothing that first night.

The first morning of the search, a sheriff’s deputy and a natural resource officer were in kayaks on a river two miles from the victims residence, they were just two of hundreds looking for the boy. A search helicopter was flying above the river looking for a body and had just flown over the kayakers. The two law enforcement officers were paddling upstream from the area of the residence and just turned a corner in the river when they made an amazing find. It was 2:30pm when they looked at a sandbar in the middle of the river. They found the missing boy alive lying on his back in the middle of the sand. They immediately called the helicopter back to the scene to pickup the boy and take him to his residence. The pilot confirmed that he had just flown over that section of river and the boy WAS NOT on the sandbar, minutes later he’s lying there.

There are many confusing aspects to this case. How the boy got away from his residence so quickly is not understood. How a 21 month old can manage to go through thick woods, enter the river and arrive at a sandbar in the middle of the river, the million-dollar question. Why didn’t the boy respond to hundreds of searchers that were in the woods that first night? The boy did not suffer from hypothermia even though the weather had been in the low 40’s with rain. The boy’s dog did reappear at the residence. This is one of three cases where very small children have disappeared from the interior of a residence while with the family dog. Each case is equally fascinating… There are an inordinate amount of children that disappear with dogs…

The one consistency with these cases is that both the child and canine vanish simultaneously, but rarely are they found together. The dog does come home in most instances, but not always. The natural indication would be to believe that there would be a scent trail for Bloodhounds to track. 99% of the time Bloodhounds never finds a scent trail in these cases…

In the vast majority of the cases that are chronicled, if people are found, they are located unconscious or semi-conscious and many times in areas that were previously searched. In The vast majority of these incidents, the people are so young they cannot speak or they have a disability that prohibits them from speaking, or they can’t remember what happened. In the rare incident where they do remember facts, they are baffling.“

Of course, you probably know what I’m thinking..! I know I can’t be the only one, given that Whitley Strieber wrote “a blurb” in the back of the book. Yeah, how does one move around so unconventionally, yet without memory? Hmmmm!

This is yet another example of how there seems to be more evidence out there for paranormal abductions (whether alien or from some other source) that we just don’t hear about in the mainstream media. The National Parks have the information, but said they would charge investigators thousands of dollars– up to over a million!– for their files. The author of the book filed a Freedom Of Information Act suit, and did get more information, but he suspects that it would be a massive scandal if this information became more widely known. I’m sure!
