April 2022
Ms. Meghan Marohn was my teacher from Chatham High School from 2014-2015. From any form of curriculum for me, from K-12 and undergrad. She was one of my favorite teachers. Thank you for everything, Ms. Marohn.
You're welcome
I should be sleeping I have to get up at 8am central time and it's already 2am I really must like rusty anybody else out there feel the same way?
Yes. Rusty is my all time favorite. 🙂
Yes....cuz its 2:17 am for me ....and im at work on break listening.
Lord i have to listen during the day or his cadence would knock me out in no time!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s 1:00 a.m. (central time)…and I am watching Rusty when I should be asleep because I gotta get up at 6
Oh yeah 😉
There's one predator that can never be ruled out... human.
Humans scare me more than animals or any thing supernatural. It’s sad to say
Man is the biggest threat to woman
wonder where all the missing comments went here ?
Yeah I see that a lot on CZcams. I figured maybe people comment and then change their mind and delete. But I actually remember liking one of the comments so who knows..... maybe the comments were eaten by bigfoot or kidnapped by aliens🤣
5'6" and 120 pounds. She's a meal for coyotes, bears, mountain lions, and if she was alone, even a pair of lynx might probe her as a meal. The assumption that she couldn't be a meal is just silly. Rusty is entertaining but not too bright. She could have run away or been kidnapped, but she was an easy meal. She's tiny. I personally know of coyotes attacking and killing 120 pound dogs. Dogs are way scarier than this woman. Heck, I know of a rooster that killed an eighty pound labrador. So imagine a pair of 35 pound lynx.......
I am following this story closely since a local girl. I am familiar with the Lee area too. Just today on local news they mentioned that her hiking boots were found in the car so they are questioning if she ever started on the Long Cope trail. Her cell phone last pinged on private property across the way from where she was parked. Very disturbing that there is no trace of this poor woman.
That's important info about her boots! Did they mention the condition of the boots, if they were clean or not? Regardless, I think the fact that they were left in the car is alarming.
@@herbalina they did not but her brother questioned if she had gone on the hike at all so I assume they were clean. This time of year is mud season so if she had used them they would have been muddy for sure. This is just so baffling because it's not a huge remote area and it seems to me would be hard to get lost since there are many rural properties dotting the surrounding area. I prayer she is found soon.
You think they would have found that out a couple of weeks ago.
@@jburnett8152 probably did but the media didn't report. Hard to get full story from news reports (as you prob well know)
Very disturbing indeed
I was falling asleep I recieved an alert that Rusty had uploaded a video so im listening to this. This is why you should always have a registered personal locating beacon
That happened to me. But I fell asleep, so I am listening to it again. His voice puts me into a sleep, it's so calming🤣☘🇮🇪
locator beacon on that I absolutely agree but it should always be paired with a firearm!
You’re assuming that she walked into the park…..It’s a nice big parking place though
Bear mountain wooded area needs to be re looked at for some reason I feel she is in that area 🙏
@@billym3781 where's that?
According to the article authorities say she never went into the 46 acre park. She walked in the opposite direction of the parking lot and trail due to the pings from her phone. It is obvious to me that she was abducted.
That's my guess too.
What creep would be abducting women in that cold weather and small town park.? There is barely any crime there. I think maybe midlife crisis and depression.
I'm local & something definitely stinks of foul play. She didn't get lost- no real wilderness to speak of. She'd either have found help within 15 or 20 min of getting lost, or she suffered an accident (fatal), & her body would've been found.
She gone. Real gone.
This reminded me of another story you did about a lone female hiker who vanished but she was seen on camera signing the logbook and there was supposedly a party of 5 people who were there around the same time who have never reported in to help with that case. I wish people in general would not hike alone. You never know who else is out there or what their mindset is. You could find yourself in trouble fast. Thanks for trying to find them, Rusty.
So true, I’ve seen so many stories of missing and murdered people (predominantly female) who went hiking alone. It’s just not a good idea. It’s way too secluded and anyone could be out there.
yea man, I totally agree 100% 3 or more per hike, ADULTS.. then pack weapons, all adults.. these sex trade criminals have to think of new ways to abduct, new places, be vigilant, if you run across one and get the gun on him or her do not call police, dig a hole, kick his in her ribs in but good, if you have to go buy a nice pair of steel toed boots to do the job right do so, the criminal can wait.. fix dirtbags ribs then kick into the hole and fill.. drop a nice big deuce on scumbags last known residence and it call it a day.. maggots
Exactly. And if you are stubborn enough to hike alone, atleast get yourself a PLB, cheap price for your life to continue.
Yeah the one was in Hawaii I think.
I used to hike and camp alone, mainly in Michigan's upper peninsula. I never worried about it as I mainly hiked and camped well off trails as I was alone and didn't want others to know I was there. I have never gotten lost in the wilderness (wish I could say that about cities). I don't do it anymore mainly due to injuries from a car accident but after watching so many of Rusty's vids I am sincerely glad I don't as I now realize the chances I was taking. One of the places I used to hike was where he showed a very experienced and armed hunter disappeared. That kind of scared me as it was during the time I used to go there.
Sure good to hear from you Rusty. I have a broken arm it's been hurting this day/night. I eelax listening you. This lady could have very well run into the wrong person. I pray not and also pray her family receives information soon. Thanks for getting this word out about her and so many. God bless and don't be gone so long!
Hope you heal quickly. Take care of yourself. Feel better. Cheers Ontario 🇨🇦
Wishing you a speedy recovery. I was havinh Rusty withdrawls
hi i am reading this 3 months later, how is your arm doing? my son had a broken arm at age 14, two places. It healed well. I think this woman had someone following her. Very creepy. That area of the country is very dangerous for women to travel alone, very isolated places throughout mass. and vt.
I don't even feel safe walking to my underground apartment garage anymore let alone hiking all alone.
Carry protection. Pretty simple.
Hope Meghan is found. Sounds like foul play to me ~ but any time someone just vanishes, it's suspicious to me. Prayers for her and her loved ones.
Thank you Rusty. You're the best.
Look forward to your videos.You have a great easy listening voice.My heart goes out to the family
Between David Paulides and Rusty west, I cannot stop. I haven't stopped with unexplained things since I was age 11 and was given the book STRANGER THAN SCIENCE by Frank Edwards.
Hi ya Rusty! Prayers for this young lady and her family!!🙏💖🙏
The property is basically cut off, she couldn't have gotten lost unless she crossed a road or two and wanted to hike in the state forest to the south. The wilderness to the south is much bigger, but still has roads and trails in it. I think someone must have taken her.
maybe not someone" but something, we cant even understand...... there has too be something hunting humans .... too many of these 411 cases out there.... just way too many...
Dogg): Knock it off with the Paulides voodoo crap. The only monster in the woods is the human monster. Animals out there are just doing their thing. She may have disappeared on her own. One million folks vanish without foul play every year.
I just read another commenter state Meghan's boots were left behind in the car. So, she intended to hike, packed her boots but something unexpected happened either before or after the car was parked. Putting aside a possible mental health event, she entered a fugue state or whatever, it does sound like something sinister happened. I hope she's found soon.
@@herbalina not necessarily. I keep boots in my car. But if wearing other appropriate shoes ...they get left.
I lived very near to the area for many years. My cannabis dispensary was in Lee, & I've driven past the Red Lion countless times. There is a very healthy black bear population, but fatal attacks are extremely rare.
It's not quite the 'sea of wilderness' you describe. A local joke is when you get lost in the woods, walk in a straight line for an hour & you will hit civilization.
Definitely not "hundreds of miles" of woods, unless you walk in circles(?)
There are however, the attendant weirdos floating about the local towns.
Foul play.
Note: the highway close by is i90, not i80.
Nice to hear from you Rusty. Hugs! I wish everyone missing would be found or answers given. Can you imagine a loved one just vanished? Heart stopping. Prayers for all.
Rusty is the guy that can drop a video anytime he wants and ill never be disappointed
Sounds like you’re enjoying this story and it’s just scary and sad. Devastating to her family, I’m sure.
Rusty is a legend
Not as much of a legend as me.
@@christianbell8347 oh hey Chris Chan
I would check out the place she stayed at. Maybe someone drove her car there, to make it look like she did, to throw off any way of detection toward them. She could be not even in the area of her car. Anyway, Thank you Rusty for your work. Always thumbs up to you, a caring person.
Many people in parks dissappears like this all the time... and very often nothing left to find that the person in question were ever there.
Thing is that park rangers are doing nothing about it and are told to STFU about it IF they find anything and the Police reports nothing to the public about most of these cases.
@@DanielFrost79 yah but this is some municipal park not missing 411 fodder. sounds like she had a stalker if you read between the lines.
@@steveelder5306 I do wonder in this particular case if she may have been depressed and if this could be a suicide case perhaps. Although she would have gone out of her ways then to not be found, after the fact. Just an idea, since her brother told a news outlet that she had issues with her school and was put on paid leave for the year. She also was not in a great mental place when she left for this trip. And I read an article from her at Scheerpost, and she sounded incredibly pessimistic about life and politics. her mother also died of an aneurism in 2019.
@@DanielFrost79 as a former National Park ranger-that is baloney, just another conspiracy theory. Most of the 411 cases can be explained and rangers always respond to missing persons. This woman disappeared near a small city park and was almost certainly the victim of foul play.
@@CastleMc Ok. Good. Problem solved. We can all go home now. 👍😂
Helloooo folks and Rusty 🙋🏻♀️
Always stop what I'm doing and tune in to a video Rusty posted. Now this is sad, strange and downright scary what happened to Megan.
You increase your chances of going missing by hiking alone or just going to these places alone and without firearm and personal locator beacon!
Especially as a woman. In this day/age of information, it blows my mind that women (young women, esp), STILL go hiking and camping alone in the forest- especially unarmed, and without a PLB (Personal Locater Beacon). What better places for psychos to find potential victims, and enact whatever crime they have in mind. No one will hear you scream...
I believe women can still hike alone despite all the shrill advice. However, women should be armed, gun in hand while hiking and with a locator beacon.
@Mary Christmas they need to go in a group not alone.
Ya'll are crazy. There's more danger walking down the st. The hike was 1.5 miles. You could do it in a half hour. So many people afraid of the outdoors because of these shows.
Thanks Rusty not able to sleep, 0328hr here. And there you were. Always get excited with each new upload. Thanks for all you do. Be safe. Cheers Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
Excellent video.
Nice work.
Thank you.
damn I planned on going hiking alone with my two dogs this weekend. But this just came across my CZcams recommendations. Maybe I should rethink this..
What about the hazards potentially represented by those working at the hotel or a guest at the hotel ? Where and when was here last cell phone ping ? Knowledge of her destination that day would put her at risk. Did the dogs ever pick up her scent ?
internet search revealed "On March 27, 2022, her cell phone pinged to a rural residential area across Church Street from the Longcope trailhead, before the signal went dead at approximately 3:00 pm." Interesting time and location for a cell phone just to go dead.
What about the construction workers in the area? Did cops question them all?
Dogs didn't get a scent
They had ping her phone
Aloha Rusty! I had not heard of this missing persons story before, so naturally I "Google- Earthed" it. When you ask for Janet Longcope Park, in MA, you instead get; Berkshire Family Hikes🤔. It looks like a very heavily wooded park with ponds/bogs, etc. I could see how it could happen to become disoriented/lost in this (still) wild place.
Hello Rusty, another sad mystery of a missing alone hiker. Please ...I can't stress enough to always use a personal GPS locater when hiking, it could save your life and help with the search to find you.
Absolutely! Even though the area is kind of bland looking, it is in the Berkshires, the Massachusetts part of the Appalachian Trail system, and is incredibly rural.
Also best never to go alone. Although, that said, I walk alone all the time…I will have to teach my husband how to track my cell phones.
Not sure she got “lost”
I'm so glad you have a new video! And that's such a great point about every person having their own stresses.
BROOKLYN NY, There He Goes 😁😁😁, Thanks for all your Hard work & Entertainment, GoD Bless
She was on paid leave from work that was causing her a lot of stress. I also read that her car was found unlocked. If that’s true I hope the police checked the position of the drivers seat. It’s very unlikely that that anyone would leave their doors unlocked out in the middle of nowhere. My prayers are with her and the family
If it was work related, it probably had to do with the communism being rammed down our throats (aka "covid" BS).
@@reesedaniel5835 agreed
Yep
Was just looking for a video to relax to; Thanks Rusty!!
Thanks Rusty for the share! always love watching your videos. untill next time, you be safe out there.
This case reminds me so much of Jerika Binks. She went missing in a national park after she left that morning for a jog and she was located a few years later in a skeletal state with multiple compound fractures in her legs. Every person who knew her was completely convinced it had been foul play and it was a simple case of someone falling and not being able to get to safety. It was incredibly sad. I'm so sad for meghan. she is so talented and such a deep thinker.
Dear Leslie Having multiple fractures in her legs wouldn’t have occurred if she just fell over Did she fall from a great height ?
I'm sad for Meghan. She's a human.
Yes that can happen but Meghan was near a very small city park and would have been found. This one does sound like foul play-a young woman alone at a motel or out walking can be a mark
@@CastleMc if it was abduction, i believe it's more common than we think.
I’ve been waiting! Thank you Rusty!🙌🏻✨🙌🏻
Thanks Rusty...always looking forward to your stuff, appreciate it.
Since watching this video I have found articles on Google that state Meghan was experiencing problems in her workplace. Her brother said these problems were causing her a lot of heartache. She had gone on paid leave until the end of the school year. Also, it was stated that Meghan never entered the path in the park but instead, walked across the street into a residential area. If you would like to see a video of Meghan speaking, you can find it on CZcams entitled 'Meghan Marohn, Intro to Chris Hedges at the Sanctuary for Independent Media'.
It sounds like she may not have wanted anyone to see her car at a residence, so she parked away and walked. Was she meeting a married person? I assume the police tried to find everyone who lived in that area and crossed it with anyone she knew, called or was in an organization with. Perhaps that person was not happy she appeared.
Maybe she didn't go with her phone?
Hey Rusty I'm so happy when I hear your voice.
Thank you for sharing the case story brother.Always good to see you active here friend.Take care and be well
Here's a thought: how do we know she was in the park and her vehicle wasn't planted as a false lead?
Good point.
How do we know anything?
She asked at the front desk of the Red Roof Inn for directions to the park
Well, her remains were not found in the park.
Hey 👋🏼 Rusty, good to hear you again 😊💖
I know people crave solitude especially if they are around people every day & live in an apt w/out their own land to wander around on; but, I always hate to hear of woman hiking alone. Scary...carry protection of some type if you can. Even a can of wasp spray or a taser is better than nothing.
Yes. Afirearm, in hand while hiking, is best.
You are soo right!
Even a full grown male is vulnerable these days.
I read elsewhere that she was having a conflict with another teacher at the school where she taught, and that was what was upsetting her. Also, she stopped at the front desk of the Red Roof Inn to ask for directions to the Longcope Park.
Hi Rusty. Nice to hear you.,hope all is well,with you.
Awesome channel,
I’ve been missing your videos, and so excited for this new upload, even though I feel sorry for this poor missing woman 🙁.
TY. Please keep us updated
Thanks for sharing Rusty ❤
Good morning Rusty having some coffee and listening to you have a wonderful day
I always get excited when you upload 😁
I remember this park and case. Bigfoot hunters went here.
Great to hear your voice again my friend.
I love these case studies. They're so very interesting and mysterious. I hope she's found soon, because I couldn't imagine how it feels "losing" a loved one. So sad, not to mention terrifying just thinking about what might have happened.
So good to hear from you Rusty 💗
I am 5'11 250 lbs. I've been in law enforcement for 28 years andcI always travel with a handgun. When I hike camp or fish, I carry a rifle as well as my sidearm. That being said, it is unlikely that I would ever choose to hike alone. It's simply a bad idea. Prayers that this young lady is safe.
Great work! More case studies like this please.
This is the first video of yours I've seen, I just stumbled across it in my feed. You have very interesting enunciation
Love Rusty! Where have you been? Glad you are back!!!!!!!!!!!!
No one should ever hike alone...especially a female. My heart just sinks watching this. God bless her💜
TY for your work.
Update: Still no sign of Meghan..her family is holding a Vigil today for her. I pray she is found soon.
Thanks for this. Hopefully closure is found soon. I feel for her brother
Holy shit, this is not far from me!!! I had no idea! Thanks, Rusty!
Relatively in time.
I don't go hiking by myself anymore now that i'm in my 40's I don't feel so invincible as when I was younger
Thank you Rusty. Take care out there.🙏💔🕊️
Thanks good work.
And PLEASE people, always, always carry a personal locator beacon and that recco tape to put on items if you want to leave a trail and I would put it on my kids where they couldn't pull it off if I were take them anywhere they could get lost! These items make great gifts for the outdoors enthusiast in your life. It is a gift for any occasion and it just might save their life! Thank you.
Excellent video!!
Thank you Rusty
When you don't find a person in a woosey park like this, then the person was never there. Duh. The answer as to what happened to her lies in her "personal issues." The fact that the family would not divulge what they were is a clear indication that there was something they wanted to hide which she was involved in and didn't want to ruin her reputation as a good teacher.
Only thing I read about was that parent's had a problem with her teaching politics. Guess she'd been warned and kept doing it so she put paid leave
@@ElledriverCAMtSnake it doesn’t have to be made public. Don’t victims get blamed enough somehow, especially women.
Hey Rusty! Watching your videos before bed is perfect 👍
Very familiar with the area. A friend of mine is the fire chief there. in MA, the only bears we have are black bears, and there have been zero fatalities from them since, well, since this place was settled. There hasnt been a wolf here in over 2 centuries. We DO have bobcats, but they arent big cats-more like a medium sized dog. We have coyotes that dont attack full grown people. They arent fearful of man anymore-but, to my knowledge, attacks from yotes are exceedingly rare (like maybe once a decade??) and are never fatal.
The scent dogs would picked up if a rare occurrence of an animal attack (doubtful af).
@@ElledriverCAMtSnake our fatalities from wild animals here are usually from animal strikes in cars or motorcycles. Its very, very rare to have someone killed by wild animals here. Or animals in general. I mean, a few months ago, there was a woman killed by her pet goat-thats the most recent I could find. It just doesnt happen. Sadly, this was likely an abduction :(
@@oldsoldier181 Yep, it ain't good. No signs a struggle then she went willingly off or someone got her at gunpoint forcing her
@@ElledriverCAMtSnake I was actually just out there on my motorcycle on Wednesday. Still a gorgeous place, just sad this happened.
what I deduct from all these disappearances in the woods is that there are predators out there but not of the animal kingdom but... .humans. is the perfect place for psychos to hide and prey on other humans. SAD ....
Because of the relatively small area compared to other parks and the fact that it is mostly flat land with little water to possibly fall into, I believe they would have found her by now if she was still there. In this particular case, I'm definitely thinking abduction. A woman alone makes easy prey for someone with evil intentions. A heavily forested area with few cars in and out is a candy store for predators. No one sees anything and no one can hear you scream.☹
Well said. I think a transient person is responsible
I do wonder in this particular case if she may have been depressed and if this could be a suicide case perhaps. Although she would have gone out of her ways then to not be found, after the fact. Just an idea, since her brother told a news outlet that she had issues with her school and was put on paid leave for the year. She also was not in a great mental place when she left for this trip. And I read an article from her at Scheerpost, and she sounded incredibly pessimistic about life and politics. her mother also died of an aneurism in 2019.
@@scarletr.7753 I agree with your analysis. She was in a very bad place mentally and her movements on the day she disappeared just don't make sense to a rational person. She may have just been tired of living.
One thing we do know is murderers and sex traffickers DO exist.. it’s horrible to think she could be drugged up chained up somewhere being used as some sort of sex slave like we see with that film Taken.
CCW - helps keep the conversation polite.
Love your videos!!! ❤❤❤
Think I read her vehicle was unlocked with her hiking boots left inside- I don't understand...and the travel plaza on 90 wasn't far away- maybe check that video from the plaza see anything suspicious..doesn't sound like she'd do anything irresponsible - man..carry a weapon even just to signal..predators out there just looking for easy prey...this is heartbreaking
I'm thinking bad things,can't shake it,not married so either boyfriend or boyfriend's?? Or a mix guided stalker. Man I hope she's ok,Lord please watch over her and get her home.Amen.

Live for these
It’s such a treat when you post !! 💜
Perfect timing just took my rip now time for spooky vibes in the fog 🥰
I think if someone is missing the family should avoid being too discreet. It could be those “stressors” might be relevant to her disappearance.
Miss u rusty; listening from Canadein/Michigan boarder loved the first episodes
Can only imagine the pain and fear the family went through.
My gf loves your voice. Thank you for covering this. Been hearing that a lot of these missing people are being found weeks, months, even years later deceased, mainly from natural causes. Comforting to hear there's not an evil entity taking these people.
Some are not and those are the missing 411. I know of 2 in my neck of idaho woods
Hi Rusty! Love to see an upload! Just one thing. I think you mean " the 90" rather than "the 80`". 🙃
I was born n raised in Massachusetts..I've lived in Western Mass for 41 yrs now..Western Mass is over run with blackbear..I've never heard of any attacks tho in all the years I've lived in Western Mass..we also have Mountain lions here..now our biologists n forestry ppl deny it and refuse to change our animal n wildlife..they had one lion hit by a car in killed it..there was even a pic in the newspaper..n I saw one myself many years ago..it made a nest under my friends cabin up in the hilltowns in the Lee area..he brought me up one spring to help him spring cleaning n the huge cat was actually under the porch..I've always thought it was a female n she was either pregnant ir hurt cuz lions don't usually make nests..anyways I've been saying for yrs that someone was gonna get attacked by a cat cuz ppl don't realize we have them..why?? Oh that's right..the government won't add Mountain lions to Massachusetts wildlife..I hope she gets found ..or her family..there's also been decades of sabe sightings there..
Sabe?
🤔Hey rusty it's nice to see you again I hope Meghan will be found soon fowl play may be involved in her disappearance her family needs answers and questions as to what happened to her thanks for the video 📸👍❤️
I went to summer camp in West Stockbridge every summer from 7th grade through my senior year of high school. Literally hands down the best memories of my life are from that camp and that area. It is beautiful out there, rolling hills and dense woods. But I can also see how someone could get lost out there. Just sad that this story comes out of the place I have my fondest memories based in.
Lisa answered my question: What was in the car? Fascinating case.
This is very Heart breaking Thank you Rusty for all you work keeping these lost souls from being forgotten
I dont believe Megan went into the park at all . My heart goes out to her family and friends students .
Thank you Rusty

At that time of year all trees would be barren, there could even be snowpack. Winter. Not that it couldn't make a nice ramble. I suspect foul play from a human predator. The Berkshires area is a mix of recreational, residential, and these park areas, where folks may like to take walks. . Attractive to nasty human predators, as I've experienced, twice, luckily unharmed- but for the grace of God I could've been harmed and disposed of.
Hey Rusty! I've missed you! 💚💜
Thts terrible .. God Bless her hopefully there is a happy - to this so far a sad story. May God comfort her brother and family .
The hotels are most suspicious to me!!!👀
Welcome back friend
Great video.
Foul play is the least unlikely scenario. Hope the police will interview hotel guests, local employees etc. and all available surveillance videos.
Man that just weird, just like "gone" but I hope they do find her eventually.
You failed English lol
