What if a plane could simply vanish into thin air, leaving behind no trace and perplexing even the most seasoned investigators? Join me, Andy, as we unearth the chilling mysteries surrounding Alaska's most baffling disappearances, starting with the case of a missing C-54 plane that vanished without a trace despite a potent 40-minute signal near Juneau. We'll unravel the staggering fact that around 60,000 people have disappeared in Alaska over the past 20 years, encompassing roughly 15% of the population. From the enigmas surrounding Mount Hayes, reputed to host alien bases, to the wild theories spun by the "Missing in Alaska" series, this episode promises to be a thrilling exploration into the eerie unknown.
In this episode, you'll also hear about the haunting 1972 disappearance of a Cessna 310 carrying Congressman Nick Begich and Hale Boggs, which left investigators baffled despite a massive search effort. Adding to the spine-tingling tales, I recount the case of teenager Michael Palmer, whose vanishing act bears uncanny similarities to the hit show "Stranger Things." Follow the breadcrumbs of his mysterious night, the unverified rumors, and the shady findings that have left investigators—and families—grappling for answers. Buckle up for a ride through Alaska's most perplexing and eerie aviation mysteries and missing persons cases.
