I totally agree. Makes me wonder why someone would want to discredit Paulides' work. Paulides has a heck of a time getting information about these disappearances from the national parks and law enforcement. Which to me indicates that there are people who don't want this information to get out for whatever reasons. So that could be why the discrediting-thing.This whole post of yours is a confusing tact to take towards Paulides and his work.
And, as Beau said, those claims are a nothing-burger.
