Sending out lots of Love, hugs, prayers and hope...
😿💝🕆💙📿💔😿
Went to sleep with a little boy could have been a John Wayne Gacy type out there watching waiting hoping War you never know my got a little too close to a Bigfoot family it's one of the other or there is one last and final guess and that would be the aliens
billy vandory atheists are so funny.
Joseph Taverna ummmmm. What? I can’t make heads or fucking tails over that crazy shit you just wrote. I’m really not even sure what you were trying to say. Were you drunk when you typed it? I hope so.
Amac1089 Amac1089 there's going to be mistakes simply because I'm talkin into the phone and it makes a lot of mistakes I don't recall me bringing any profanity into the picture I hope he is found alive however the world is a strange place the possibilities are this the cartel Sasquatch aliens or something else God only knowing what that would be you have a great day take care

On a scout trip to a national park and during a hike my 15 year old brother didn't feel so good so the group went ahead and said they'd pick him up on the way back. Two hours later they returned to find my brother in the place where they had left him and all returned safely. My parents found out about it a few weeks later by accident and they hit the roof and put in a formal complaint about the two scout leaders. My brother was lucky that no harm came to him but my parents were horrified that not only was a child left alone but an unwell child too. My own personal view is that never hike alone and in a group hike agree that everyone hikes at a set pace, no one going ahead on their own or lagging behind. If someone doesn't feel well don't leave them alone whether they are adult or child. Leave someone with them. You can study a lot of subjects at college but you can't study common sense. Lack of common sense seems a theme in a lot of these cases.
@Alex Wilde you can say the same for consideration. Maybe your parents should have researched the background of the people they let their teenage son travel into the forest with. Maybe they should have went over the way the Scouts handle situations, such as splitting up, if there is an emergency, or if hikes would continue if one of the group wanted to stay back at camp,. Maybe your parents should discuss why it took so long to accidentally find out about your brother. Apparently, he didn't find it important enough to tell them, and at his age, he should know what is concerning behavior to them. Theres no point laying blame in a situation unless you learn where to begin and hold all accountable, but even then, Maybe you should consider, that you and I and your parents and all people make mistakes, and last time I checked, young adventurous people who get into medical school, didn't get there, unless their common sense was well intact. Your comment was cruel. But you can't teach people to be kind and considerate to others even though it could help heal some of the world.
Anita Mah - The comment is cruel? Hardly. People who take the responsibility for children should be smart enough to know that you NEVER leave one behind. This should be common sense.
Alex Wilde: i hope your parents sued the pants off those Scout leaders for leaving your brother alone like that. What happened afterward?
horrifying, thank God your brother was safe.
Agree and always carry a gun extra ammo
When hiking, never leave the group or allow others to separate away and always have an adult at the front and back, never leave youth at the back on their own.
opollo Also and a adult you can trust too.
and you always put the slowest hiker as the pace-setter.
Yeah I'm never going hiking alone ever. Maybe never again. Feel sorry for the families affected by these missing people.
Daughter Of The Wolf22 I'll go hiking with you loo
take y o ur pack
+simon payne bet you would
German Shepard dogs and Chesapeake make excellent hike/camp dogs
Why do people go hiking alone? I don’t get it!! No scout should have ever been left alone the rule is always always go with a partner! That scout leader who left them was ignorant!!! Can’t trust the Boy Scouts anyway too many pedophiles
I don't think I can read expressions very well. I don't see "clearly horrified" in the kid's picture in #2.
I agree. He seems more frustrated or upset, not scared
You're right. Troubled? Anxious? Apprehensive? Yes to all three. Horrified? I'm not seeing it either.
Yeah, ‘clearly horrified’ is really reaching.
He was killed.
@Melinda Francis He can look like anything if you're biased. If you look at the pic at face value, he looks annoyed if anything.
This is the scariest thing ever, for a family member or friend or whoever the person is to go missing only to never be found. Years of searching with someone in the family to die and still not find their relative, or even get answers about their missing relative. Absolutely scary.
A. J that's true, as a mother it's my worst nightmare..
yes, I actually think this is the most terrifying thing ever! if u think in all the possibilites in the wilderness.......must be too painful to the families
The worst is the kids. The children man like all you can think about is how scared they must be. I can remember being a kid and being scared of my own downstairs at night. I mean the lights were out people were asleep I’m here terrified to even pass the stairs and there are these children out there in the woods in pitch blackness. I can hardly think about it.
just look at Chistopher McCandless . if he hadn,t found that bus he died in . His body would have surely never been found .he wasn,t the first hicker to go missing in this area either . Lots of hicker went their and never came back . Alaska is really not the good place to test your survival skills
In the story about the kid named Derick it said that a witness saw a man struggling with a little boy... REALLY? That didn't strike him as odd?!?! He didn't help, he didn't call 911, and he continued on his hike! wtf?
IKR He should of helped done something. He could of helped that child.
Tina p ya your right why didn’t he or her help this kid. I don’t understand how this kid up and disappeared so fast some other kid had to see something. Or maybe he wasn’t even on the hike maybe he disappeared the night before. Or the person who said they saw a man struggling new more. I just don’t understand why people and parents let there kids go hiking with someone in such a dangerous place. And I really dont understand why people take their family on vacation in such dangerous countries knowing how many people have gone missing or killed. Hopefully one day they will find there loved ones 😢
never tell a relative u will be gone for awhile..more like im staying this amount of time if u dont hear from me a lil after then something happened never trust a text that says i will be staying longer bc it wont be me sending it..contact the embassy and get shit done..that would be the best thing to say when you're leaving for a trip..also cant u track an iphone?
slum chemist - They also have fairly cheep emergency gps type devices.
Apple is notorious for not willingly giving information. Once they refused to give a criminal's data even after a court order.
I agree tell ppl about how much time u need before sums wrong... Like mom I'll be back n four days not I'll be back eventually cuz once something happens usually 48 hrs is ur window to get found safe. So after four days ur ppl look for u n call the popo for help...
@@joshuafante2689 What if you got lost on the first day of your 4 day trip you told your family about 😯
@@Vortex_one then you should have never went if you're lost on your first day lol
Thank you soooo much for telling everyone about August. I was actually in the graduating class with his younger brother Laithe, and August was such a nice person when I met him. It's been so long since we lost him. Everyone at Classen was Devastated. If anyone has any information PLEASE!!! Contact the parents. I know it's been a long time but I still have hope.
He looked like a real great guy. He just had that look to him. I’m sorry y’all are going through this I hope he turns up poor soul
I've always felt that last photo found in Jared's camera is not a selfie. It just seems that the framing of his face is too accurate and the focusing too perfect for him to have taken it himself. But it is chilling to speculate as to WHO, if not Jared, did snap that picture?
That's something right out of a horror movie right there.
The elves of the forest
Richard I agree I think he looks like he's scared
Disappearing in Peru means 2 things ..
1- Cannibals ..
2- Jesse fell through a cavern entrance hidden by the foliage ..
There are thousands of cavern entrances from the size of a baseball, to the size of a football field ..
I'd say it's extremely dangerous to hike in the mountains of Colombia/Peru/Ecuador without a guide since there's heavy cocaine manufacturing in those areas. Not sure what would happen if you unwittingly stumbled upon one of their operations. Kidnappings of Americans for ransom money-- even spanning over several years, are known to have occurred.
There is no safe place not even preschools, if you watch all the videos you will see US is not picnic ...tourists just dont understand....many just wander without supervision trying to take the most adventurous photo, so just dont only blame drugs
I don't think anywhere in the world is safe especially alone in the wilderness. Most of these people have probably been killed by an animal, died from a fall OR got lost and died from exposure. Some of these people are carless and unequipped when out in the wilderness. It seems certain ones have a death wish.
However, South America is very dangerous for other reasons like what +Johnny stated above. Can't believe that guy went alone especially in Peru.
cocaine that goes directly to your country... by the way.
Kamisa outh America is just as dangerous as any part of this planet earth. you and op discriminate just because you are ignorants.
All countries have danger, but some are vastly more dangerous than others.
Apple needs to stop being stupid That Mom needs help
Agent Scuttle apple can't help being stupid ✌
Fuck Apple! Greedy @ss company, can’t even make exception for special cases
Sad fact for folks who don't know - I worked for AT&T as a phone rep. If someone passes away, even someone's husband, if their phone is locked, they can't unlock it or give you the data. It's a legal issue, a protection of privacy (even tho they're gone.) It's.... sad. I hope she can manage to overcome that. I don't think it's exactly Apple that's the culprit, I mean it might be I'm not sure, but.... it might also be the phone company itself, like AT&T does. :c
There need to be changes in the laws. If someone has gone missing or is presumed dead for some reason, all possible data from their phone should be released to at least the police. In a time with so much crucial information available, it is just plan wrong to withhold it. We need to stop with the “they have a right to disappear on their own” and help these families. If they are found and confirm to authorities that they did not want to be found, then let them be. At least the family would know that they are alive and well.
Has nothing to do with " stupidity " . They are callous and don't care about missing people ....
Maybe Jared didn’t take the photo
My thoughts exactly. the photo seems too accurate to be a 12 year olds selfie.
I agree
Dal V I thought that too and it made my blood run cold.
Jeeeez, you armchair detectives are digging deep
I agree...there's something so off about that photo and Jared is clearly terrified. Plus if he was using the camera flash to see around him, it doesn't make sense why he took a selfie. The flash would have disorientated him further... Someone must have taken it.
im argie but an advice to people from the world dont come to my country or any or neighbouring contries we have kidnaps , robbery and murders rampant and im mean really rampant on the public eye , we have an unequipped police not only on the weapons side but the logistic too the same is for the mayority of the countries of SA and dont let me start with brazil a country similar to the world of Mad Max, the poor guy who dissapeared on peru my condolences to the family ,so an advice dont trip/hike to south america it will save your life
john paul agreed. People are crazy to travel to SA, especially by themselves, and especially for the purposes of hiking. They are just asking to be killed.
It's like people don't research about the country they visit; it boggles me
I used to work with someone who completely vanished after saying she was going to a party in the forest. There were missing person reports, articles on news websites, even TV footage. People were thinking the worst. Apparently 4 years later she was found safe and sound in a city on the other side of the country wanting to start a new life. So not all missing person reports are due to foul play
The only hiking I would ever do is over the mountain of mess in my shed
Hentai Forever 😂😂😂😂
They’d never find ur body
Omg that poor little boy in #2.....
My heart & prayers go out to him and his family. That pic is absolutely horrifying!!! Omg!!! I can't even fathom the fear they ALL must be going thru....
LOVE, PRAYERS and HOPE
😿💝🕆📿💙🕊💔😿
Jamie Jai THE FAM so sad especially since it was intended to be fun but oh hell no..my kid wanders off..hiking!!! Oh I would flip out

I feel awful as well I can’t imagine but that photo of himself he doesn’t look horrified he looks more confused
Missing 411
missing 411, anyone?
John Braddock exactly what I was thinking. Haha.
John Braddock
Love watching missing 411....
John Braddock .. yeees. who leaves their shoes behind !?!?
Rusty West has great videos on this topic. :)
And thank youuuuu for this upload. You're one of my favorite channels :)
Mystique Ufo Pirate yes he does!
He just parrots David lol
@@innerviews897 yeah it seems like he wants to sound like an inbred lol
Love y'all's videos!!! I've literally watched them all!
billy vandory dude get a life! Hahaha
Why kill the dog? The hell did the pup do? Damn, everybody always gotta kill the dog. The innocent damn little love ball. Smh
i agree
WillFanofMany - no, the question is why even take the dog with him?
Well if it’s the end of the line for u then u wonder how is ur dog gonna get by! U worry about ur best friend just laying next to ur body for days mourning its loss of U! I could definitely see my dog standing guard over me until forced to leave! I totally understand why he killed the dog!
No that’s not the question! Maybe u should read it again!
Chris Emerson - taking the dog with him was not mandatory, giving the dog up (to another family or even a shelter) prior to going out into the woods would have given the dog a chance at life.
I've lived in Ecuador my whole live and we never got news about August Reiger
Thank you for uploading and sharing your videos with us
What about 2 years ago in England a young solder came home on leave and he went out to drink with friends and was never seen again? There was no sign of him anywhere? Can people really just Disappear into thin air??
I know what it is they fell of a Cliff in the bushes. because I had it too.alitude sickness the cold bring it in sometime. We drove up a mountain and for the first time I felt super cold, freezing it was about 40s and then I got the worst pulsing head ache like the day after a hangover. And I felt like I was high and didn’t not remember what we did up there, just pieces. They told me I had alitude sickness.
Another thing if you hike, in cold place. Never wear cotton. It call dead man clothes. Because they are found frozen. Because cotton has 100% warm. But get it wet you can wear it you will freeze to death because it below body temperature even worst if the wind blow. It’s air con cold. So the choose is to take it off and build a fire. That if you can. You can fall into the water or rain. The choice is to use sytatic fiber cloth they will still keep you warm when wet. And dry faster. You see them in camping stores .
Love this channel 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Jesse Galganov's body was found in 2019 had fallen into a ravine while on solo hike. Accidental
These people are dead
Driving home the back way through the woods its pouring down and getting dark and Ole ty knots pops up yes sir.
Jayson Sneaux Haha thats funny! I can picture it!
This is weird. I spent 3hrs watching a lot of videos on people who went missing. So I’m glad you uploaded one.
the first guy couldve been "disoriented" because, like many others, he decided he wanted to get high in the woods with a peruvean shaman/witch doctor. the guy likely overdosed and the shaman hid/burried the body to avoid repercussions. there was a similar case in the news
That is what I was thinking.
If you’re going to disappear live stream it record it or use sound capture
I wish the family would've went to Hawaii or Something instead of Ecuador... such a horrible happening. praying for resolve...
The guy in the first video disappeared in my native city .. Huaraz .. this city is know for the beautiful landscapes and places to hike and do rock climbing. I traveled to visit Huaraz exactly a month before he disappeared I remember seeing Tons of tourists. After his disappearance everyone I know in my city shared his picture on Facebook trying to locate him but to the day no one heard from him. However.... a watched a video on CZcams that a medium posted, she even said she tried to contact the guy’s mother but she didn’t respond to her, the medium said that the missing man was no alive anymore 😰 and that his body was in a cave close to where the police did the search ( in the mountains near a famous lake ) but they toke the wrong path, he was killed by two men and a woman.... again is just what a medium said but she said that she can even help them to locate the guy and provide a description of the murders even tho she lives in the USA , but she was not being taking serious 😐... very bad news for his family but maybe this medium can help a bit to find this young tourist 😪
While hiking, carry a cell phone/transponder so you can be traced. You can fall off a rock, easily. People need to be able to trace you. Btw, was anyone carrying a cellphone?
Those Dutch girls who got lost in the jungle in Panama had cell phones, but the phones weren't a lot of help. Take your cell phone, sure, but also take a map and compass, and know how to use them.
So sorry for these families. God Bless them.
Fishy circumstances, hmmm
Great video! Keep up the good work!
This video should teach people to stay at home, because there's no place like home 🏘️😉
What gets me about so many of these disappearances is how no evidence is found. Even if the disappeared had been attacked and eaten by a wild animal, the creature wouldn't eat the clothes and bones.
Ty, idk if you've done this before but you should do a video of the missing people of national parks. It's downright creepy. Like children ending up in impossible locations when found, and saying "the big dark man helped me"
Just to follow up on this: I still think it'd be a great idea. (no offense intended) but Ty.. some of your videos on Top 5's seem.. predictable. Others seem like a cash grab with the amount of ads played (now I'm pay for Red indirectly because of your videos) it seems.. as though you're running out of ideas. Maybe you've realized it too, hence the second CZcams channel you've made (videos of which, are A+ quality). Last note... Nobody really seems to be reporting on National Park Anomalies, either; despite the amount of information available. Not to mention the... Weird circumstances and evidence showing park rangers are being paid to keep their mouths shut. Just think about it, alright?
There’s a bunch of them on CZcams if you’re still looking
Rockslides were everywhere when I was hiking in Peru. Granted, this was the 90's when terrorists were wiping out roadways. But I imagine it's still very dangerous to walk some of the roads on the mountains. You start sliding and there's no bottom; and a lot of thigh high grass that would make it hard to find someone.
wild animals, dangerous paths, kidnappers and serial killers, gangsters making cocaine in the jungle, and some of em intentionally dissapeared probbly 2 raise a fund
Lesson learnt dont hike
I grew up hiking in the Sierras and am an eagle scout. It was taught to us to never hike alone. Stories such as these prove the wisedom of that edict.
Turned on my Adblock just for you, guy.
Missing 411 comes to mind...scary to think about that these cases might number in the THOUSANDS...
that kid in the forest is just one of thousands read up on the national parks and why they dont report people who get lost in them as missing persons, there's stuff there they dont want you to know about.
all around the world🌍 people are miss everyday and we need help😢
the moral of this story is to be careful and never go off on your own, spend money and buy a beacon, never go alone no matter what
I've been a "woods loafer" since the 60s. Did some time in the Pacific/ SE Asia jungles in the early 70s. Still an active hunter, bushcrafter, camper, hiker. In my opinion, people don't just vanish. More often than not, they get hurt and perish, animals scavenge the body. Other times they do something really stupid, get trapped/hurt, the body is never recovered. I did that on several occasions when young. One time while snorkeling on a Pacific island I found a small cave in the reef about 25 feet under water. Naturally, I went in and almost drowned. Had I died, no one would have found me, no one knew where I was.
Then there is the possibility of an encounter with evil people.
I agree 100%. As someone who grew up hiking the high Sierras and occassionally car camping I can remember meeting some pretty creepy people car camping and even an occassional strange person hiking alone in the high country.
I hike a lot in new england, i never fear the possibility that this stuff will ever happen to me because most of the trails up here are very public and are used all the time but still the number 1 rule of hiking is never go alone. Makes yourself vulnerable to evil people , as well as if you get hurt in an area people dont go to your fucked.
So heartbreaking. I sure hope that some of these people were found since
August Reiger was a year behind me in high school. I didn't know him personally, but I know a lot of people that did, and even went down to Ecuador help his family look for him when he first went missing. I honestly don't know what to think whether or not he may or may not be still alive.
This is why I stay at home.
$1 million for searching in Peru in a few months? Are you kidding?
Yea, sounds about right. It's dangerous, physically demanding work that most people aren't qualified to do. How much would you charge somebody to scramble over rocks in Patagonia?
Someone’s cashing in
😮😮😮😮😮💔💔💔💔💔
😪 How sad!!!
👍 Great job on the video!!
OMG I feel for Jesses's mum you can see and feel her frustration.I pray her son is found,I pray for all the hikers and there family. God bless you all
Could you imagine having to go on in your life after losing a loved one like this? Life must just be crushing and unfulfilled for the poor loved ones of these unfortunate people. Extremely sad... I pray they find closure ond day.
this is the best top 5 or any number channel
Thanks for putting the names , and faces of the missing to there in the public view.
heartbreaking and frustrating, hope you all find your answers
There's people watching us everywhere. I don't care what mountain,town,store anywhere....
For first one. If two guys were camping with the dude saying he was disoriented but fine the next morning... I would be questioning those two guys. They were the last ones to apparently see him alive
I'm sure they were questioned. The guy was disoriented probably because he had been doing some crazy psychedelic drug.
Your child missing has to be the absolute worst feeling ever. The desperation, anxiety and fear would drive me mad. 🍎 Apple needs to stop being ridiculously selfish and help the first mother with crypted messages. I hope and pray all of these people are found 🙏 and I think a lot of these people walk thru portals or a serial killer who can fly is lurking around because there are no clues!
"Dont be alarmed if you don't hear from me for awhile"
That's something you *_NEVER_* say to _anyone_ when you go on a hike. You will regret it if you're lost miles away from civilization- starving, exhausted, dehydrated- and no one's looking for you because you told them not to worry. Be smart. Always bring extra water, no matter what. And bring extra food if possible. Just be smart and be safe.
Tom and his dog ...They think he stumbled on a radioactive dump sight and they killed them
.. " nobody just disappears into thin air"... well lady, apparently they do... and thousands of them..
Viewer discretion is heavily advised???? Why...just don't get it
Watching (11:31pm) outside on our house so cold and i like it😄
Omg that's so crazy me and my family are always going to the sanbernardino national forest grew up always going there
You have to be careful ANYWHERE-you could blunder into somebody's marijuana patch or meth lab. Jet a while ago a couple were attacked on the Appalachian Trail the man was murdered by a psychopath with a machete-the woman survived. Had the murderer succeeded, the bodies probably would never have been found.
I've seem #4 on Unsolved Mysteries and the similarities are striking.
It's weird how none of the information was ever released about the man with the struggling boy in #3 here in Oregon when this was going on. I was wanting to go on the search for this boy but didn't get the opportunity. The "terrible snow storm" is not quite true. A snow fall did happen but not as extreme as they are trying to make it sound. If that were the case how could they have seen footprints of him and someone else? I often wondered about this case and if they ever found him. They even had a physic come out and she said he would be found in a covert on a graveled landing...or something similar to that. But they searched those kind of things nearby and didn't find anything. But in a town there was a note on the bathroom wall of a gas station that said he had the boy. Sad that he was never found and probably never will be, especially if there was someone else involved and they were traveling.
I’ve never seen so many ads on one video.
ThunderGun2 i only got one , it has to do with the CZcams algoritme , the channels doesn't decide how many you get
Malina 123 was this a recent change. Maybe this is old info and I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure CZcamsrs used to be able to decide how many ads are on their video
I didn't even get a single ad
I see 4 or them on mine, but sometimes they don’t always show me the ads. Sometimes I’ll have to watch every single one. It gets annoying.
No ads
Another interesting list, I like the choice of the topics for your videos. I know I am remarkably smaller than you but is it possible to collab one day in the future?
Infinite Curiosity MR NIGHTMARE COLLAB
Infinite Curiosity Checked out your channel and like what I see, I subbed.
Subbed
Infinite Curiosity Subbed as well.
Subbed to you as well. From one small channel to another. Good luck climbing the CZcams ladder.
Over a mil to search so far? Wow...disgusting. So many missing all over the world, its crazy!
Big foot is out there snatching!
Sadly people do in fact "just vanish"...
the second story featured on unsolved mysteries by robert stack, it is to this day still a mystery.
You should have wayyy more views on these vids.People are crazy
some people would rather not be found................
I feel awful for these families, but the first rule of going into the woods is not to hike alone
I have never understood the attraction to camping and going into the woods...give me the city anyday
What a HEAP OF SPECULATION
So the lesson here is to NEVER go hiking in a South American country.
John Sumner never go hiking anywhere alone
because that is the only part of the world where people disappear...right?....think for yourself
John Sumner not alone. Never alone. Always in groups of friends and experienced people.
Know the language too.
Have you made a video on Austin Tice?
It isn't unusual for some mentally disturbed individuals to head off like that and there are a LOT of places in remote areas where you can go and never be seen again. Most people who are serious about hiking, will leave their plans, maps, when they will return, whatever it takes, with someone responsible, which makes them so much more likely to be found if something goes wrong. There are many things that can happen in the wilds, a snake bite, an injury, animal attack, a miscalculation, an unexpected illness, a lot can happen but if you let people know where you are going to be and your time frame, rescue is far more likely, and NEVER hike alone! The buddy system is so important in many sports like climbing, diving, skiing, etc. but most important, is letting people know where you are going and when you'll be back. Then, stick to your plan!
(On another note, search and rescue as well as recovery, can be very costly! Don't make that necessary!)
really sad & unthinkable cases.
IF THEY FOUND HIM AND HIS DOG SHOT HE DIDN'T JUST VANISH WITHOUT A TRACE?
Heartbreaking !
Only 5? You could make a channel dedicated solely to missing hikers. Happens a lot.
Is there any updates on any of these cases?
that August dude looks like this guy at my hometown Vape Shop. except he gots a long ass beard still gots the longest hair, cool guy
My heart breaks especially for the young people
What did these hikers know about Hillary Clinton?
What everyone else does, trump cheated to steal the election.
Apple should have a policy where family can access devices if someone is deceased or missing
Agree
No they should not. It's illegal for good reason.
still need a court order for that
The dog was shot made me furious 😠
NEVER EVER EVER GO HIKING IN THE WOODS ALONE IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCED ESPECIALLY IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
