'Missing 411', by David Paulides: Tracking unusual missing persons cases
- Thread starter findit
- Start date
And think of all the family members of the missing 411 people. What do you do if the explanation for why your child or family member died doesn't make any sense but you don't have any other way to understand it? Terrible.
Excellent article, Joe. Thanks for this. It seems that the critical question regarding this murder investigation is, "Who sent that Instagram message to Noah Donohoe?"Wrote up the details of this story for Sott. It doesn't match totally with 411 cases, but pretty strange nonetheless.
Who Killed Noah Donohoe?
I've been following the disturbing and tragic case of Noah Donohoe since it occurred in June of 2020, although admittedly there hasn't been much to follow except the enduring mystery of the 14 year old's last days before the discovery of his body...www.sott.net
It seems like that was the "vector" that kicked all the subsequent high strangeness off.
Well, I don't think so. It's possible to "tuck things out of the way".
That's probably not particularly relevant for this case anyway - your comment about a "dimensional window" could be quite close to the mark, especially if it was one that was perhaps "artificially" created.At the very least, they can catch up and chat about it on 5th. Question is, how much awareness would Noah have had about what actually happened to him?
Yes, terrible. How can any family suffering such a sudden loss even fathom high-strangeness notions within their minds, when the basic a, b, c, d's do not point to anything tangible that they can grasp - what do they do with it? As you said, they have no "other way to understand it?"
Although there may be missing pieces to the evidence that would change things in this case, it also reflects on matters such as Elisa Lam (or Dyatlov Pass.) However in our reality, a reality that sees many of our global population captured within a covid-Fairytale as if there is rock solid proof, with something like this, though, the police must soft pedal the evidence, the coroner will couch it in certain acceptable and limiting ways. An inquiry, if called, will have deflecting terms of reference, and the press will avoid the uncomfortable - to completely keep things on a 3d track.
The article you wrote, and thank you, captured the chronology - based on evidence that has been released to know. As for this case for the family, and as said above, I hope they can be presented with evidence that bridges the date stamps with something they can grasp and receive closure with. So many never receive closure at all, though - like Mr. & Mrs. Lam, because how can people ever understand what can't easily be understood as an alternative, it is just too horrifying to consider.
In terms of hypothetically thinking upon this case as a hyperdimensional crime, as it is very strange indeed based on what evidence was presented (just as so many case David has featured also show), it is as if there is this notion of zero time - the victim existing in two places simultaneously (however that can be conceived). If looking at events from our 3d reality perspective of the here and now when things were observed, it is as if slices of time - 5:53 p.m., 6:00 p.m. and 6:02 p.m. (observations) were capturing rapid changes of what was immediately happening to the victim elsewhere - just don't know how to really frame it in a hyperdimentional sense, and how could one really (although see below).
With many of David's cases, they generally do not have a series of tight time stamped direct observation, such as this case in a limited time frame; the victim is here and then not, and sometimes found much later, or far away, or not at all, and often under repeating environmental/geological conditions. Again, hypothetically speaking, if each missing/victim had tight observations made during their disappearances, would they be seen in a similar way; with a backpack, and then none. Fully clothed, and then no boots - other missing clothes, suddenly miles away, and so on and so forth? The outcomes are usually that the missing are never found, and sometimes a body turns up in odd and distant ways, or they are found alive a long way away without reason.
The C's put it this way (3 versions) - and there are other factors:
Added is:
As Keel had discussed of these cosmic tricksters (criminals at our level), there seems little reality that people could ever entertain the slightest shift of thinking into other possibilities - into the idea of hyperdimensional realms.

As this missing person in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming , Cian McLaughlin, was born in Dublin and has dual US/Ireland citizenship the story has been followed by the media here. It may be still early to put it into this category but after an intensive search and 38 days later it's beginning to look eerily familiar. "Officials say this case is unusual as it is rare for someone to be missing for so long."

Helicopters, drones, rescue dogs and thermal cameras – but still no sign of missing Cian McLaughlin, 38 days after he went for a walk
It has been 38 days since Cian McLaughlin was last seen in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. The Dubliner is not the first person to disappear there, but officials say his case is unusual as it is rare for someone to be missing for so long.

Admittedly this choice of this attempted hike, was at best challenging. Not for the novice.

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK (CBS SF) – Rangers at Yosemite National Park are asking for the public’s help in the search for Fred Zalokar, an accomplished marathon runner who went missing on a hike over the weekend.
According to National Park Service officials, the 61-year-old Zalokar was hiking from Happy Isles in Yosemite Valley to the summit of Mount Clark on Saturday, using an off-trail route from Bunnell Point. Zalokar did not return back to Yosemite Valley as planned and his whereabouts are unknown.
Zalokar is described as standing 6′ tall, weighing 150 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a yellow shirt, khaki shorts, calf sleeves, a brown “Eastern Sierra” cap and sunglasses.

Officials said Zalokar was also carrying a Red Mammut bullet pack described as old and faded, along with a black LED headlamp. He may also be carrying a jacket, but the type and color are not known.
Zalokar was also carrying a family band two-way radio and may be using bank 1 / channel 1.
According to his personal website, Zalokar is an accomplished marathoner, climber and runner who has lived in the Reno area since 1984.
The search for Zalokar comes amid numerous lightning strikes in the Sierra and around Yosemite National Park Monday afternoon.
Anyone with information about Zalokar’s whereabouts is asked to contact park dispatch at 209-379-1992 or by emailing yose_desk_officer@nps.gov.
Officials particularly want to hear from anyone who may have hiked off trail between Merced Lake Trail and Illilouette Merced Pass Trail over the weekend or were in the area of Mount Clark or Mount Starr King.

Update.
A champion distance runner was found dead in Yosemite National Park after failing to return from a weekend hike, the National Park Service said. The body of Fred Zalokar, 61, of Reno, Nevada, was found and recovered on Tuesday near the summit of Mount Clark, a statement said.
Fred Zalokar National Park Service
According to the park, Zalokar was day hiking on July 17, from Happy Isles to the summit of 11,522-foot Mount Clark using an off-trail route from Bunnell Point. He had planned to return to Yosemite Valley.
"This incident remains under investigation. No additional information is available. Our condolences to his family and friends," the park statement said.
Zalokar was an accomplished endurance athlete. After winning his age group at the Tokyo Marathon in 2017, Zalokar is believed to be the first runner ever to win his age group at all six World Marathon Majors races—Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, and New York City, Runner's World reported.

A British woman who has spent six years on a campervan tour of Europe has gone missing while walking in the Pyrenees.
Update:

'DRAGGED OUT SKULL' Missing British hiker Esther Dingley’s remains may have been ‘moved by animals’, says police
23:36, 26 Jul 2021Updated: 23:36, 26 Jul 2021
The skull with long hair was discovered on a path regularly used by walkers in the Pyrenees.
It was found near Port de la Gléré, a mountain pass on France’s border with Spain near where Esther, 37, was last seen hiking in November.
Commander Jean-Marc Bordinaro said: "This is indeed the area that Esther Dingley was supposed to be in when she disappeared, but we need to be cautious while the identification process is underway.
“Everything suggests that these bones were recently moved by animals.
"They would not have been there a few days earlier.”
Brown bears and wolves roam free in the Pyrenees and vultures are a common sight.
Forensics experts are investigating whether DNA from the remains matches a sample provided by Oxford University graduate Esther’s mum, Ria Bryant, 74.
An investigating French source on Saturday said there was no ‘immediate proof as to the identity of the remains’ and that ‘a medico-legal procedure will be followed to establish the identity of Person X in the days ahead.’
Specialist forensics officers from the General Directorate of the National Gendarmerie (DGGN) will carry out the task, under the supervision of France’s Interior Ministry and an examining magistrate.
Up to 3000 unidentified bodies are found in France every year, including ones in vast rural areas such as the Pyrenees, said the source.

The Disappearance of Esther Dingley, Nov 2020
@c.a., had finally caught what you posted from David back on the twentieth of July.
Of particular mention, was David's accounting of the missing brother, Ketil Ulvang, of the Norwegian cross country racer, Vegard Ulvang. Ketil was 31-years of age, and his loss was in the year 1993.
It points out here that in 1994 Ketil was found after he "went for a run in the mountains near his home last October. His remains were found earlier this week, in a lake about 5 miles off the path he was following when he disappeared during a sudden snowstorm."
David adds many points, and makes reference to Ketil knowing the land where he went often to train like the back of his hand, more or less. Despite the weather, which would not have seriously affected him, he could find his way around through that landscapes markers that he knew so well. David said it made no sense for him to be found 5 miles away in the lake after the ice thaw the next year.
There are no real details found that discuss aspects of Ketil's body, clothes etc. after he was found, although there may be Norwegian articles that point more at the body recovery.
Reading here, from before he was found the next year, it was interesting to read further about Ketil's and his brother, Ulvang. Here are a couple of paragraphs (not in order):
David did not mention that the area where he was lost leans heavy to granite rock, one of David's indicators. There is also a German connection to the area (Kirkenes, Norway) that reads like this out of wiki (the copy paste map below deleted the town, which is basically the last Northern Fjord along the east boarder of Finland up against Russia:
In closing, Ketil's Olympic champion brother, Vegard, is himself an interesting fellow if more is read from here.

That is close.
David might have added that some of the search parties were military - this search was a really big deal in Norway.

I'd say that this was a 99% error in the victims judgment and his lack of the limitations of success.
And a one percent blip of something out of the Twilight Zone.
Missing Pleasanton man vanishes on July 10 and is found 14 days later.
Local law enforcement with search teams and volunteers were unable to locate the victim during there attempt. Until yesterday.
The below indicting he died of a catastrophic injure. Not sure if his body was fully cloth. As indicted things may have been scattered which would have been light wear for the heat wave that week. Proper hydration would have been crucial.
Anchorites have indicted that a homicide is not out of the question.
The first accounts of this story are listed first. I've also added links for the maps for the sake of reference, map orientation of the lay of the land before his disappearance.
I've add an additional edit for more detail's left out with an earlier version perhaps of other interesting details.

Snips of other details: Video
Even though there have been no new clues or pieces of evidence into Kreycik's disappearance, the volunteers have identified an area near the Tehan Canyon that authorities said they need to take a deeper look at, Lt Erik Silacci said. He did not elaborate.
Tehan Canyon is about a mile from Moller Ranch where Kreycik started his run and left his car and phone behind.
Kreycik's wife reported him missing on July 14 after he didn't return from his midday run.
Kreycik would track his frequent long runs on an app connected to a wearable fitness tracker.
But his run wasn't recorded that day because he left his phone inside his car, so police couldn't pinpoint his location.
His wife allowed police to access his phone and they learned that Kreycik planned to run six to eight miles that day.
Search dogs picked up his scent, but lost it after a short distance; it's believed the smell of him was eroded by the 100-degree heat and wind.
What seems unusual is that in a park that has hundreds of visitors daily, not one person has said they saw Kreycik running.
Update: No foul play has been determined with lots questions of Philip Kreycik's final resting area and passing.

So sad. Such a large search was conducted for him.
More questions than answers. Professional SAR could not locate him after 3 weeks and a volunteer searcher found him easily? Very strange
That’s sad, I was hoping he’d been found alive. Wasn’t there a woman lost hiking in Utah (?) that was found alive weeks after she went missing? I was hoping he’d turned out the same (Link)
