David Paulides told an account of a woman who disappeared several feet from the parking lot and her car. She was with her husband. Can’t remember her name unfortunately. I thought of David when I read this article.
I don’t recall that exact story, but there are many like it in his Missing 411 series.
I have all nine of Paulides books and a constant theme running through his books on people that went missing in the wilderness is that they “somehow got separated from their companions.” Most are never found, and the few that are often have no memory of how that got lost or what they were doing while lost. SAR members are often stumped when they can’t find these people.
Wow never heard of him or his books. Interesting. I read the Grand Canyon book on all the deaths there. Very interesting read as well.
