Ep. 41 : Lost and Found - Juliane Koepcke, Katherine Van Alst & Steven Kubacki
Is there anything scarier than being lost? Sometimes the journey to be found is even worse. Such was the case for these three adventurers who found themselves trapped in unforgiving territory. We'll uncover the hiding place of 8-year-old Katherine Van Alst who disappeared in Devil's Den State Park in 1946. We'll travel to the Amazon with Juliane Koepcke, whose world came crashing down one fateful Christmas Eve in 1971. Stranded in the dense jungle, Koepcke was forced to put one shoeless foot in front of the other after unimaginable trauma. Finally, we'll close with Steven Kubacki's ooky spooky disappearance on the frozen shores of Lake Michigan in 1978. This second part in Elise's "summer series" is sure to inspire, scare and remind listeners that you'd rather not go it alone in the great outdoors. Halee treats us with a tried and true favorite. Too bad Elise can't have any. Happy Haunting!
Ep. 31 : The Disappearance of Glen & Bessie Hyde
This week we head into the backcountry with the disappearance of Glen and Bessie Hyde, last seen paddling through the turbulent waters of the Grand Canyon National Park. It's 1928 and the park is in its infancy, drawing outdoor enthusiasts and daredevils alike. The Hydes sought to break records and gain notoriety during their 600-mile paddle trip. But in December, their family reported them missing when they failed to arrive in Needles, CA. They would never been seen again - or would they? We'll dig in to their river route, possible theories and crazy legends that are likely rooted in some fact. Halee will delight us with the cutest vanilla cake that Elise is really sad to miss out on. Happy Haunting!
