'Missing 411', by David Paulides: Tracking unusual missing persons cases

[unkl brws]

A six-year-old boy is still missing in Alberta, Canada after disappearing a week ago.
Search for missing boy continues into seventh day: RCMP

He was camping with his family and six of them had all gone on a walk together and when they returned he wasn't with them. How would they have lost sight of him?
From the article:

The search for six-year-old Darius Macdougall, who has been missing in the southern Alberta wilderness for six days, continued into a seventh day Saturday.

The boy disappeared on Sunday morning.

Mounties say he and six family members left their campsite at the Island Lake Campground, about four kilometres south of Crowsnest Pass, to go for a walk. When the group returned to the campsite, Macdougall wasn’t with them. RCMP say Macdougall has autism, and while verbal, may not respond to rescuers calling out his name.

How would they have lost sight of him?

Two sets of parental eyes can only keep track of two children at any moment. There's also the awareness thing -- not that long ago, people will still being brought up - learning of the weird and kooky fairy tales about strange things that happened in the woods, of which The Brothers' Grimm anthology is just one loose example. There's variations as well, like the Slavic Baba Yaga, or the Celtic Sidhe, and the stories are usually wrapped up in several layers of moral teachings, not mentioning any preternatural warnings that they might have been originally intended for, like Hansel and Gretel (luring kids to a spot in the woods, for "dinner").

If you really have to go into the woods with family .... I'd leash everyone together via a technique known as short-roping, and go through the hike with parents at the vanguard/rearguard, with the kids in-between, so that there's literally no room for 3D mistakes. But that's not how these things go.

What most likely occurs is that many, many, many of these victims get mentally/psychically lured into these areas generally, or particularly, such that 4D transfer windows are easiest to attain. "Why do I have this urge to go hiking this weekend -- Why do I want to go to the bar and get drunk -- Why do I feel like I need to go out of my hotel room for a walk in the middle of the night".... Others just develop habits of these behaviors that unwittingly and unknowingly puts them in environments with which they know little detail of.

That's the one thing that David is missing from his profiling work. He's got everything else, except for the victim's narration of why they went "hiking", or of what led up to, or happened, in the "nabbing". Dead men tell no tales, as they say.

Good you posted as this unfortunately aligns with the criteria discussed by David (411 Missing). It should also be said that the boy, Darius, was not with his parents at the time, but 5 young people (siblings included):

RCMP have said Darius didn’t return from a walk with several young family members to their campsite in the Crowsnest Pass area of the Rocky Mountains.

There are hundreds of people looking; RCMP tactical unites, drones, helicopters, divers and more.

That does look good. I'm surprised Steve Isdahl wasn't in the trailer, I hope he's in the movie. I know he and Dave are friends.

Going back to here, originally posted here, the young boy, Darius, went missing September 21st while on a small island with siblings, in eyesight of the parent (the mother was not there):

Bernicky said Darius was at the campground with his father, his dad’s girlfriend, his grandmother, and aunts and uncles.

Darius was gone in the flash of an eye.


From here:

The morning of Sept. 21, the family was packing up and getting ready to leave. The children were playing on the island adjacent to the camp just across a creek where the adults could see them, the post reads.

“Darius, Kya and (an) unnamed cousin were walking and playing together with other kids close by when Darius went missing,” it says. “They turned their backs and Darius was gone.”

A month later, no one has answers. The mother urged to have this listed as an amber alert, and can understand, yet the police and search and rescue would have covered all possible angles, including human abduction. They are simply at a loss.

“For missing persons investigations, roadways are not closed unless there are grounds to believe a criminal element is in play,” Slaney wrote. “In cases such as this, Search and Rescue is deployed to the point last seen, a radius is established and searched in a thorough manner.”

Though RCMP say no information has so far been received indicating Darius was “removed from the site,” Bernicky told Global News she still has hope.

“I feel like he’s out there, I feel like someone has him, and I’ve felt that since Day 2 or Day 3 when they were getting no hits of him on the mountain,” she said.

From a few days ago:

Alberta mother wants police to do more as son remains missing: ‘He’s out there’ | Globalnews.ca

Darius Macdougall went missing on Sept. 21 while he was camping with family and his mother is questioning why an Amber Alert wasn't issued immediately.

globalnews.ca

Her son was autistic, and then a double blow, it is learned that their daughter, who was also autistic, had died just a couple of weeks ago from a medical emergency.

The family’s statement says that Kya Tayen Rhyder Warrior died in a “separate tragic event.”

An obituary says the six-year-old died Oct. 10 at the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary.

Missing location as was posted:

So very sad, and the markers speak to this threat.

We were on a road trip vacation between Manitoba and BC for the last two weeks and have been following this 411 case closely. My sister and my wife were with me and both are avid 411 followers. We drove back from the west coast through the Crowsnest on Wednesday while listening closely to Dave's update episode on Darius. So we stopped near the location to get a look at it.

All three of us were surprised that Darius hasn't been found. The area he disappeared in isn't the deep bush you'd expect in that area.

The Crowsnest pass is a steep winding road down into a narrow plain on the eastern side from a mountain pass. Where Darius was lost is an aspen-like forest that is somewhat of an anomaly for the area. I've been through the pass before, and imagined the spot to be like the rest of the Kootenays with thick pine and uneven rocks - dark forest etc. This area was like a little pocket of more gentle nature. At least it looks that way in late October - I'm sure it's thicker in summer.

One thing that struck us, was how hard it would be to get out of that one, little area undetected as a kid. A major highway with commercial trucks every few minutes borders the area to the north. The south is a sheer, treeless face of a mountain that you'd have to be a rock climber to scale.

The east border narrows back to the highway. The west border is the mountain pass and the highway again. How a tracking dog couldn't find him is unbelievable. As Dave also mentioned, very sad about his step sister succumbing to an allergic reaction weeks later. Dave asks if it's possible she "caught something" when Darius was removed from the group. There are other missing people from the Alberta side of the Crowsnest that Dave's covered before as well.

We've camped nearby at Chinook Lake before and I've never had a weird feeling out there aside from being a little paranoid of the Grizzly scat we hiked by once. The only thing I find strange is that on the BC side of the pass is that the Kootenays feel wild and mountainous. But on the Alberta side, there's all this rolling foothill prairie between the mountains to the south at Waterton Lake and the Rockies to the north. It gets dark early due to the mountain shade to the west and the wind really howls, but I've never felt anything weird there...

Horribly tragic for the families. And as in case with the the missing kids from Nova Scotia, the RCMP's statements and actions are suspect and obfuscating. If you watch Missing 411 - The UFO connection, you can see the interview with a former RCMP Officer regarding the man who disappeared from Harrison Lake in BC. Whomever is directing RCMP searches and investigations isn't local. Someone in Ottawa is making sure there's a lot of unanswered questions to confuse the facts of the investigation...

I just watched Missing 411: the UFO connection last night. The cases it reviewed involved male hunters usually elk hunting who had gone off by themselves. They were young, had German lineage, and the one person who was returned had had a vasectomy. The most interesting story was of a man who was abducted in the 1970s by a humanoid looking person with no hands, a black space suit, and "hair like straw." Apparently, this alien was also looking for elk. They went off planet and then returned and he was let go.

In at least one case in which a man was abducted, he felt like the UFO was following him. Paulides also mentions Hand Foot and Mouth as a wasting disease of cows and elks but does not make a direct connection between that and UFOs probably because there is not enough evidence. It would be interesting to know if there is a connection between hand foot and mouth and 4D cattle/elk abductions. Also would be interesting to know who that alien was as he does not fit into our lexicon of known 4D "aliens".
