#chiricahuanationalmonument
Hello everyone, in todays video will be discussing the very odd case of Paul Fugate. Mr. Fugate was working as a Park Ranger at the Chiricahua National Monument in 1980 when at roughly 2pm on Sunday January 13, 1980, he told he associate that he was leaving the visitor center to " check the nature trail. That was the last time anyone ever saw him. Paul was a very smart mad who had a degree in biology and loved working in the outdoors. There have been many theories in this case and the NPS just reopened the case in 2018. Mr. Fugate was 41 years old at the time, was roughly 170lbs, long brown/graying hair, wore rimless glasses, had a pronounced widow's peak and was wearing a gray Nation Park Service Uniform shirt with patches, and a badge, a bright green NPS uniform jacket with a red lining, jockey shorts, white socks and green work boots. He also had a full beard and mustache.
The NPS has a tip line setup and if you have any information regarding this case please contact: 1-888-653-0009 or visit www.nps.gov/isb
In this video I discuss who Paul was, his various experiences throughout the National Park Service and various theories and news articles related to this case.
Thank you for watching 🙏🙏
Please remember when commenting that this is someone's family member who they desperately want back.

I was let go by the NPS parallels organization the Bureau of Land Management for personnel reasons. Nobody was ever truthful as to why I was let go. So I can sympathize with what Paul was going through. Both of the departments are full of petty little people who are trying to cover up their incompetence and inflated egos.
When corrupt and incompetent sociopaths get into power as a head of organisation or country (as a political parasites ) ...... only one outcome is certain.....
We ate witnessing it is happening now ....in all aspects of our life.
Had my issues with the Department over their lying as well. I resigned after 15 years and 4 years in the military as a combat corpsman. Thank God the V.A. awarded me a 100% disability shortly after. Bring Pres.Trump back to clean the swamp.
@@johneynon7121 did they force you, or was it of your own will? Interesting stuff...
I've been fired from two jobs with nothing but a shady excuse and been given the run-around when I demanded a proper explanation. In BOTH cases, the people responsible were subsequently terminated for obvious reasons, but good luck explaining your next prospective employer.
This sort of thing is pretty common in the US, not just in government agencies but private businesses as well. Something about certain jobs just tends to attract sociopaths.
@@marnieclifford8604 After a year and half of a pissing contest with management over an issue of safety thatI brought up, I gave up because of their spin of making me a trouble/wave maker, instead of holding others responsible. Truly there a lot of social pathetic liars within our federal agencies. Fact, I worked in 4 of them. I kept transfering hoping the grass was greener on the other side. To answer your question. I went to the veterans administration for help for my now anger issues. They suggested that I resign (which I did)) and apply for PTSD on top of my war injury. I got lucky/blessed with that agency.
Question: how many people would see a friend slumped unconscious between two strange men, driving away in a truck, and not follow them and try to get a plate number at least? I certainly wouldn't just keep driving the other way. I'd at least try to get a good look at the truck and the men, and where they went.
It wasn't a friend necessarily and out in the middle of nowhere maybe they didn't want to end up slumped over in the vehicle also if they didn't have any means to protect themselves. Pretty hard to judge from somewhere outside the situation
Unless you're packing heat - and even if you are - trailing a suspicious vehicle can be very dangerous in the desert.
@@mousetreehouse6833 well, I've done it a few times, as in hit and run, chased them long enough to get a license plate number. And I wasn't packing, either. People don't scare me as much as they should I guess. Usually I scare them worse lol.
@@BeRightBack131
They say attitude is everything, and I guess you prove that old saw right😎!
Me? Just a weeny woman, 68, tons of arthritis, who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn at 6 paces - but that's just me ! 😆
So many ppl just don't want to get involved..it surprises me that ppl that r otherwise responsible, caring, etc ppl can just drive on & not giving anymore thought to what might have happened to someone that was in a suspicious set of circumstances. 😂. It's really sad & not really funny just unbelievable
I feel bad for Paul, and his wife. Thank you Bryan for honoring these people that are lost, and their families. You are a good man.
Jane: I could not agree more with you. To me, Bryan is a truly exceptional young man. As a speech pathologist who has taught at several medical schools and diagnosed and treated children and adults with voice, speech, language and cognitive disorders for over 30 years, I don't think that most people are aware of the huge amount of information that a person's voice conveys about his or her personality. The eyes are not the only windows to the soul. It is obvious that Bryan is sensitive, compassionate, respectful and thoughtful of both the people who are the subjects of his videos, their family members and his viewers. At the same time, he is incredibly humble. I think Bryan would make not only a great hiking and camping companion, but a terrific friend as well. I wish there were more people like him. Think of the difference that could make in the social personality of our divided, hurting nation.
He discovered the illegal actions of the FBI!!! He was neutralized.
Agreed 100%
I watch this channel mainly due to his voice the stories are easily understood and being sensitive material it’s comforting to hear Brian tell me … my cats watch him also - there’s something True and meaningful just in his tone 💙🐕🌞
Paul was a nasty bum thief and drug addict that stole from my father, grandfather, and my grandmother. His wife was very nasty and rude to my grandmother multiple times as well.
Shame on the Park Service for treating his wife and him with such disdain!!!! Pray he RIP 😢🙏
Based on this information. I believe that guy who didn’t like Paul had a hand in his disappearance.
Who would know those parks better? A park ranger! I feel sorry for Paul, he didn’t deserve this. 🙏🏾
You know thats interesting !! It makes sense !! The guy was happy as hell when they fired him, but when he won his case to be rehired oh boy i bet he was pissed!!!??
This just sounds too coincidental to NOT BE A "REVENGE DISAPPEARANCE"... in my opinion most likely a PREMEDITATED MURDER
I've heard this story many times but have not ever heard about possibly being seen in a truck or a spot where there was a scuffle. You do your homework Bryan, thanks for the hard work and diligence to these unfinished cases!
I've never seen anyone else named Lindy!!! 😳Started to read ur great comment and it just suprised me lol HAVE A GREAT DAY LINDY
Same
Actually the magazine outside wrote a story I think in 2020 20:21 and they mention about the truck and the two guys in him being slumped so maybe you need to do your homework
The National Park Service really tried hard to put the screws to this guy and his family. Anyone who fought this hard to stay wouldn't just leave.
Your respect for the missing is moving. I have such respect for your humility in what you do. You are such a special person and are right where you should be. SUCH RESPECT!
I agree w/you! I just found his channel and I like him very much and the work he puts into presenting these stories.😊👍👍
I think he stumbled upon some type of smuggling like drugs or people. If they had people in the forest service denying his disappearance they may have been involved so they didn't want a big search. No one is going to fight that long for job to be returned to them and then walk away. This was foul play and I think the guy who saw him slumped over in a truck did see him.
I agree with you.. my gut and Initial response is , he took the Park to court and I feel they needed to make an example of sueing and winning....These parks talked to an investigator about paperwork on the missing and got very rude , and belligerent, about asking for information on missing..sounds like "they trying to keep information quiet , or else ..." type of situation... bizarre, ya know? ok I babbled enough ..
I also see sense of the order of that. When it comes to the movement of serious contraband like drugs, there is nothing, absolutely nothing, that those directly involved will have any scruple about, in keeping their operations secret and under the noses of the authorities!
No doubt the Park Service is involved. They resented his successful lawsuit and reinstatement.
living in southern az my whole life i agree, he must have chanced upon traffickers and was taken out/disappeared
Or he was involved in it and that's WHY he fought so hard to get the job back.
Tht a extremely gorgeous place ..lots of history. Apache territory.. Tombstone is not far from there either. Chera-kawa.. is the proper way to pronounce Chiricahua. I lived in Arizona all my life last 30 years most of which was was off grid on 20 acres in Navajo County. Anasazi ruins everywere the Painted Desert an Petrified Forrest area.. Arizona is a little piece of Heaven on earth been very blessed to have lived the life we have. God bless Paul an his wife.
Bryan, if I’m not mistaken there have been several Park Rangers, Forest Rangers, Search & Rescue members & other people such as firefighters & LEO officials that have come up missing & never found per David Paulides, author of the Missing 411 book series. I’m a former Sheriffs Dept. SAR member myself.
missing 411 should be regarded as an entertainment series. "ol dave has a fraud conviction, was fired from the police force, and believes in bigfoot. A LOT of his "evidence" is fake or deliberately misleading ("WHY WOULD THEY TAKE THEIR CLOTHES OFF IN TH COLD!? ")
You never know because Paulides lists people as "never found" who actually were found, or "cause of death unknown" when the death was ruled souicyde/hhomecyde.
This is unsolved ( revenge ) murder - there is a motive - and it is different than the rest of disappearances.
They didn't like " hippies" in those days - especially if they take them to court in fight for their rights.....
They will pay for what they did......
@@angelmartin7310 I read there are 50,000 adults reported missing each yr (US) and 800,000 children reported missing each year (one child every 40 seconds). In 98% of missing children cases, they are returned home safely.
But in cases of missing adults I'm sure unless they're are reported in danger of hurting someone else or themselves, they are probably not a high priority for LE w/all the other crimes they have to deal w/and of course, missing children are their priority when it comes to those who go missing.
And when people go missing in the wilderness, it's all the more taxing on police resources so that's why these volunteer searchers play such an integral part in trying to locate those who go missing in many instances.
Paulides' information should always be taken with a 3 gallon bucket of salt.
Check out The Missing Enigma channel. He goes over A LOT of Paulides cases in a pot more depth which changes a lot. Though Paulides never directly says what he believes, his beliefs ABSOLUTELY taint his narrative.
Brian...I really like how the background music is in the background... tastefully done. I hope you are healing well from your accident and hurt foot. Be safe!
One thing to remember is that the 70’s were a very strange decade. Open marriages were a social phenomenon of the time. It sounds to me that he was trying to live his life his way, and having to deal with a boss who was very “square” and had a problem with “hippies.” Actually, there was a lot of that going on at that time, just driving through a state with long hair could get you into trouble with the law, not to mention the “squares.” It’s so odd that twice the park service dismissed evidence. Sounds like a personal vendetta was at play here. Eerie story.
So the smelly hippie wasn't allowed to show up for work looking like shit and you say he was targeted for "trying to live his life his way"? Okay, boomer 😑
Well said darlin.., and you are soo right.
@@kylw3460 yes, all day long. 100%
Well I mean besides the amazing music that came about due to the hippy movement everything else was pretty much negative and absolutely destroyed social cohesion by indoctrinating people into communism and an overall anti-American mindset despite the inconvient truth that the only reason the hippy movement happened in the first place was because the country as a whole became so prosperous and stable that many Americans became outright detached from reality and as such completely abandoned the culture and traditions of their parents and grandparents. Furthermore open relationships and even worse open marriages are straight up wrong by every standard of morality or even common sense for that matter considering such relationships are destined to implode considering that humans are indeed monogamous by nature even though we like to try and dilute ourselves into thinking otherwise despite the fact that many people who live extremely promiscuous lifestyles end up alone. Lastly all of the cultural decay taking place in America currently can be traced back to the hippy movement which as I stated previously indoctrinated the youth into accepting communism which in turn gave rise to many of the radical ideologies currently such as feminist intersectionality, critical race theory, radical gender theory, and the list goes on and on..
@@Doomseer do you even know what CRT is, or stands for? Or do you just believe everything Tucker says without question?
Bad things happen in big cities, and bad things happen in the middle of nowhere.
Sounds like the Park Service has things to hide IMO. Love the Background Music too. Great Job Brian!!☺
My thoughts exactly. Either they got back at him for winning his law suit or he saw something so someone got rid of him. Theres so much going on at National Parks that people don't know about. Or even understand.
They are trying to behave like military, or mafia or KKK.....creating their own law.
OK, it was long ago and they didn't like hippies ( especially fighting for their rights in court ), but very little has changed since.
Just trying to understand - is police corrupt or useless to solve a crime - where there is a motive .....
I remember Paul's story. Very bizarre! 😒 thanks for sharing "more info" on his case. " (Chief Cochise area) pronounced > Chr a Kaa wuh)🙂 God bless you, & your time, in gathering info for sharing with your listeners. 💕
Bryan i was so sorry to hear about you being hurt by a car! I just broke my collar bone falling. I heard you had road rash and that is so painful. Please know lots of us care and think highly of your work. Get well. 🙏🙏🙏
I admire how you are completely yourself when you do these videos. Like how if and when you mess a word up you don't edit that out and do a million retries to get it pitch perfect. It brings a genuine feel to the vids.
Nice job with this case, Bryan. I am in that area currently. We have some challenging names with “Chera-cowah” being the correct pronunciation of the mountain range. A handful of your images were from different parts of the state. I have seen his story told many times but your’s is #1!!!
Is the desert Sonoran or sonorahan as he was saying? I'm in Canada have heard of 1st not the 2nd?
@@joywebster2678 no.
@@joywebster2678 it's mountainous, rather like high desert. Dryer and warmer than the Flagstaff area, though.
@@joywebster2678 it does have a mix of dry desert and mountains, fairly rugged.
@@okeydokey3120 I was questioning the name, not sure what u are answering.
Wow. It is just so heartbreaking that all these people go missing. 💔
Omg that is horrible to ask her for the money back after she is already missing her husband.
I agree with Crystal...to demand that money back, was just adding Insult to Personal Injury!
He fights the Park Service for 5 years and makes them look like fools when he won and then he goes missing? It sounds like he angered a lot of people so IMHO...foul play.
Such a sad story. Prayers sent for his family. Hope you are doing well. Thank you for a another great video.
Oh Bryan , I’d not heard they reopened the case !!!! A
Million thank you s 😍
You’ve definitely put dedicated time into your research to find so many additional facts. Thank you for your dedication to victims/victims families🙏🏼
Just wanted to say thk You for your Narrations. They are so informative & I appreciate all of the research that it takes to bring us these videos. Hope You had a great Easter. ☮
I know the story very well, you did a very nice job! 👍
I love these mountains. I have camped and hiked here several times. Was sad to learn of this disappearance. I saw a memorial at the oark to him at the Faraway Ranch. There have been other disappearances of people at these mountains. There is drug/human smuggling nearby being very close to the border.
So sad ….my husband and I have been there camping and hiking ..beautiful area
I love your channel...I absolutely love seeing you grow and become more confident in your work. Which I hope your are, there are so many of us out here that appreciate how much heart you put into your videos. I will definitely be here by your side to continue watching you grow.. so awesome! ❤️from Northern California
Thank you you! You are so kind and sweet! I'll be out in Northern California in May if you want to meet or have any cases you want me to cover🙏thank you again for you kind feedback!
Hey Bryan 😊 your knowledge about these cases is impressive.thanks for another great upload 💗
Scary to think park officials are like other humans & could become corrupt. You never hear anything negative about park employees. Also you never hear about how safe or unsafe these parks your visiting are!
Well, when you are in unpopulated, nature areas, it just makes sense that that you are not walking around in a man made place….
Very compelling case. The pictures of Paul nagged at me and I have no clue why. He does have a haunting look in his eyes. Sometimes, I believe that people know of what their future is to be and that's what I saw in Paul's eyes. Weird. Very hard to explain. I hope someday, somehow, his family and friends get the answers they want and need. Thank you, Bryan, for all of your investigating and bringing it to us.
I think they should check into the Park Supervisor who gave Paul grief and fired him. I’d say a Revenge Killing or could be the drugs and the Supervisor was involved with the drug trafficking.
You just put down the theory that is nagging at me that most viewers dont put together. Sure, he angered the supervisor, but that's not enough to dissapear him. I think some park people got money from some drug people to do what they do, and poor Paul wasnt part of it and intended to do what is right. And was never heard from again.
Follow a trail, if it isnt the human heart, it is often money.
I always love how you add visuals. I’m in Canada so I have no clue where you are talking about most of the time.
Maybe his boss or the head guy had something to do with his disappearance. If the guy saw him in a truck between two men, could very well be true. Thank you so very much for being so nice & respectful to each story you tell. Your voice is soothing after a hard day of work. 💜
Given the distance he could reasonably be assumed to have covered on foot, a search which was properly conducted should have been able to have found some trace of him if there was any to be found!
Given his complete devotion to the role he had, and his life as was, I do not believe that he disappeared by choice!
The complete absence of any sign of him where he should have been expected to have been found, and that no trace has ever been found since he vasished, I doubt this will ever be solved, unless someone makes a deathbed confession.
I 💯 agree. Here’s what I know: If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck 🦆. Here’s what I also know: retribution or recompense (aka karma) is a bitch. Whomever out there murdered this man, your time is coming, make no mistake. You do not get to pass go for free; you go straight to jail or wherever. Your sins will find you out. This is our hope in life to us survivors of man’s wickedness.
Thank you for your diligence researching these losses and your kindness to the surviving family. It’s appreciated more than you know. ♥️
💯💯💯 🙏🙏🙏
Outstanding video, I've seen this case on other channels and none were as detailed as yours.
This is for sure one of the cases that drew me in .
I just stumbled across your channel. This was a fascinating story. I can’t wait to see more of your videos.
Of all the different types of unsolved mysteries, these missing persons cases are the eeriest.
Thank you for this story o worked for the us forest service here in Arizona fir our vet 29 years and this is the first time I heard this story I’m retired from the Tonto National , I started at Prescott fire center , Prescott forest
I like how u don't edit as u talk or mis pronounce stuff. U just correct urself real fast and move on. Your a certain kinda REAL youtuber if that makes sence.
Good work brother I like these mystery posts
He is a natural and I love e his channel .
@@berthaford2152 I watch this and Mr Ballen. These are my top 2. There voice is relaxing lol as if I'm hearing a friend tell me what happened the other day.

I believe Chiricahua is mispronounced.
@@Neilsowards oh god, go do something. Ur that bored neil????
There's more to this story, than were being told!
I'd bet that it was someone pissed off that he got his job back.
How hard would it be to grab someone who hikes alone?
Just saying...
Love what you do Bryan.
I've been lost in the woods. At night. Just a couple hours, but shit, the things that went through my mind.
A lot of your vids give me chills, thinking about what people must go through.
Not sure why I like to watch this stuff, but thank you!
👍
Yeah I always murder someone who i didn't want to be rehired. seriously?
@@SpicyTexan64 Yes. Seriously.
Could have happened.
What's your theory?
That's possible he was murdered
It’d be pretty hard haha. First, the guy was hunting so it’d be tough to get close enough to kill him wo being made. And even if you shot him w a rifle from let’s say 300 yds (still a great shot) and you somehow manage to dispose of the body yada yada. No way in hell you’re making it look as if someone wasn’t dragged off and in general 2 different human beings didn’t converge one one another and SOMETHING happened. Sure, you could probably get away with killing someone out there and not get convicted, maybe even not end up a suspect, but very very few people would manage to make it appear as if there wasn’t a murder…let alone make it seem like someone vanished. Think about it. There were tons of search and rescue hahaha. It wouldn’t take the worlds best trackers to fig that out. Even if you carried them so there were no drag marks. Your footprints would all the sudden be deeper right after stopping at a bald spot you had to clear from all the blood in the vegetation you hauled off somewhere (which will be obvious) and a totally different stride. Short answer: very F’ing hard haha
@@dzrock3 Awesome points!
So what do you think DID happen?
I live in carlsbad California and I've been to carlsbad caverns in New Mexico, I've been to countless caves, carlsbad is much better than most. I've also been to chiricuaha national monument which is also an amazing place
That lady in Idaho that did fire watch, she was park ranger too and disappeared from her post. This guy was probably kidnapped too.
Maybe his superior at work took their "disagreement" too far? Kind of a "I'll show him" who's BOSS....
You did a great job on this story as usual.
That is crazy. Thanks so much for your work. I love your posts thanks so much. I was happy seeing another story was posted by you. Still praying for your healing.
Thank you for keeping this case alive.
Sounds very sad! Then a national park to withdraw monies when they clearly knew it was past her 20 day mark its extremely rude.
Any lie detector test of the rangers?
I wonder why Paul didn't take his radio. Is that a normal thing for park rangers to do?
Is it normal for you to leave your house without your cell phone?
@@UnknownUnknown-hg7xg
I'm asking is it is normal for the rangers to not take their radios when they go out and about. Is this a common thing to do?
The park bosses got rid of him
It sounds like he came in contact with someone and murdered. Sounds like someone had it in for him at the park service.
Paul Fugate sounds like an eccentric person. Foul play can be the answer.
I've driven through the Chiricahua mountains. So beautiful and peaceful looking but for the first time I didn't have any desire to stop and hike. Not creepy or foreboding but not inviting either.
I can understand why Paul would fight for his wonderful, stable government job with great benefits. Let’s harken back to the sixties, well documented by the one and only Austin Powers… I was still a kid, but yeah, it was the “swinging sixties”… hairstyles (longer hair on men) and facial hair was popular in young guys but severely frowned upon by older men (I remember the “conversations” between my older brother and our dad!) So I can see that there could have been friction between the Paul and his boss. It sure sounds like the people at that park (at that time) were not good to his widow. And drugs were as popular then as now, just different drugs. How very sad and suspicious. It sounds ludicrous that he would fight for 5 years to get his job back, just the “abandon his post”.
This is very sad, but it sounds like a drug hit. I am not saying Paul was voluntarily involved but maybe he stumbled unto drug activity.
Seems to be two prevalent theories on the comment thread.
1. The park service had him "wacked".
2. He came upon an illegal operation and was killed.
As crazy as the first theory is, what if it is combined with the second?
Park officials getting kickback money from drug operations to do what they do unimpeded. "PROBLEMATIC" Ranger tries to do the job he was hired for, and is a casualty, yet who has motive to find out what happened?
Just wondering aloud. I was a year old when he went missing.
My sympathies to his people.
Thank you Bryan….another excellent posting…I love your channel..
Apparently he didn’t leave on his own accord!
Ain’t that the truth
I wonder if the national park service had something to do with it, or were just plain uncooperative. They were evidently horrible to him and his wife. Regardless of his lifestyle choices, he was definately dedicated to his job if he fought to hard in court to get his position reinstated! To claim he abandoned his post is ridiculous! my personal guess is that he was abducted against his will if he stumbled upon druggies/criminals as he was checking the trails.
Thanks for this story
I can't believe they won't fire that hippie.... I'd like to believe that they didn't get rid of Paul. It does sound like foul play. If it was, I believe they will get what is coming to them. Thanks again for this story
As somebody that has had boots on the ground and also done a ton of reasurching of cases all around the country, this is a really wired case. It's such a small park that if he was still in there I believe he would have already been found. I have not watched the video yet as I really want to see if we are thinking along the same lines on this one as I believe so many things you have said or speculated on are right. 1.He was said to have been seen with another guy in a truck whether voluntarily or not I'm not sure but it witnessed had put him in a truck leaving the area with somebody else. I believe this is quite possible.2. The superintendent of the park in the park itself hit the widow for I believe it was his entire pension without remembering the exact story but the whole thing with the court cases of the widow was ridiculous. 2. Again from my memory he walked off without his radio which could make sense if the only other person with the radio was the person in the office that he told to close up if he wasn't back. 3. Speculation was that he encountered some kind of illegal activity whether that have been a drug deal, or trafficking or something similar I believe this is probably the best theory out there I don't believe he is in the park anymore. I have not had a chance to watch a whole lot of your videos but the ones I have watched are cases that I have gone through with a fine tooth comb on and I believe that most of your stuff is spot on with your speculation as I do believe that everything I've seen is pretty close to what I believe happened to those specific cases. Now all we need to do is get boots on the ground and really take the time to do actual heavy duty searches instead of hasty searches. I said it before and I'll say it again I think that you're so right that I would bet that on a lot of these cases these people are exactly where you said they are. Keep up the awesome job!
sounds like he fell into a trap. Asked to meet someone and then abducted.
'A violation off there grooming standards' ...🤔..in a nature reserve..I've heard it all now..he had a small beard he wasn't pulling a 3 meter moustache along the ground behind him...whoever had it in for dudes beard is my No1 suspect clearly insane n power hungry individual
In those days - they hated " hippies" - especially if they were fighting for their rights in court.
There is a motive - so cops are corrupt or incompetent......
Congratulations for looking into the past from a present day paradigm and judging people and society from such. Super judgemental on your part!

Did you think that negates anything by saying that? You just make yourself look ignorant and insipid.
Somebody should do a public information request on that sheriff department
Wow For a Ranger to go missing, especially in an area they knew so well... very scary!
I've never hear d about this case before. Pretty interesting. Thanks for another great video.
Bryan, I like your CZcams channel and this story in particular. There were some cringe worthy mispronunciations. The Chiricahua Mountain range is more or less in my back yard and I've spent a lot of time there. Locals sometimes refer to the mountains as the "Cherry-Cows". I did not know Paul Fugate but I had friends who knew him, and his wife. One friend was a Park Service employee who told me he had coffee with Paul just before Paul went off on his hike and never returned. My friend also helped search and later told me he believed Paul was no longer in the Park. It is a strange case.
Well done! I subscribed because of the excellent work you did on this case.
When you go on your road trip I hope you’ll check out Carlsbad Caverns. I’ve been three times. The first two times I took the elevator down. On the third I hiked down. It’s incredibly beautiful.
Thank you for what you do.
Paul Fugate sounds like a strange bird, and maybe hard to get along with, resulting in his constantly being transferred to different parks.
Yes it sounds like that. But wonder what happened to him.
I would definitely fight against discrimination to keep my job & the ones that do not are why it continues to happen. They were trying to push him out because they were prejudiced. I am glad that some people have balls.
Really fascinating story and told very well. The Outside Online article is long and gives much detail to his complicated disappearance. I believe there is one strong hint toward the end of the article.
@@jacksonsundown7545 the article was good but there was some comments made in it that aren't accurate. I wrote to the author and the Editor to discuss neither one responded.
Wow this is so messed up. Its all cause he took them to court for messing with him for “looking like a hippy”. I had something like this happen to me at me business during the pandemic. People really hold silent grudges and cut you down when the cards are already stacked against you. But im grateful that it wasnt life or death in my case! Thank you so much Bryan, another good story as always❤

His poor wife. How shameful what the Park service did to her.
Thk you Bryan for presenting this well-presented information.
Out west we say sonòran . Love you and love your videos . A man got lost on the vast lava fields on a Hawaiian island . He almost died of no water . I wanted to ask if you’d ever heard of that case . there were no landmarks for him to orientate himself .
Well done, Bryan!
Please keep us updated Bryan🌵
Wonder how his supervisor felt after being dragged through the mud for 5 years only to have to give him his job back. There definitely had to be bad blood. Wonder how bad it was. Maybe bad enough to kill him? Cops had to have some kind of informant to announce a pending arrest but when the story changed had to drop it. But people in those days did bug out to start a new life but why to sue to get your job back.
There is a motive. Cops are corrupt or incompetent.
I'd be willing to bet that he angered some local people with his case against the park service, and was "disappeared".
I moved to AZ when this was going on. I was 11. My dad pointed out the mountains here, telling me about how people die there all the time. I still want to hike it tho.
Very, very sad story. :(
The Park Service showed such cruelty to the missing ranger and his wife. Very sad.
Sounds like someone with the national parks service might of made him disappear 🧐considering all the trouble he and his wife had with them.
I have heard this incident in several other you tube pods
None of them come even close to the info you provided
Well done and thanks for a very informative view of this incident
as a ff paramedic and police officer i was in a national park many years ago i saw something very strange i never spoke on it because people would have not believe me
Do tell us...!!!
Carlsbad Caverns is stunning. The bats are amazing, the surrounding trails and landscape are magical.
A sniffer dog? Lol.
It’s actually called a tracking dog and then you have a cadaver dog for victim remains.
I worked in a K-9 SAR unit as a field medic.
Tracking and cadaver dogs are amazing!
sounds like he was murdered to me
I’m comfortable saying, You don’t mess with the national parks service …. 😕
Wow that's my Birthday Jan 13 1980 my condolences 🙏 to his family and friends
My birthday too 👍1947
Nice coverage....best of luck with keeping your channel going....i love it!!!
I think the man who was Paul's superintendent got his ego severely bruised & Paul's disappearance had something to do with him & his own egotistical belief of himself, the superintendent that is. Even if the superintendent had nothing to do with Paul's disappearance, which I believe he did, the superintendent just by his actions alone, that are stated in this case, he is certainly a prick of a human being.
Thank you for being very informative.
Hope there is closer soon.
first I've heard of this sad story.
this is still an active area for drug and human trafficking. having had encounters myself id recommend cautious exploring if visiting here.
Thank you Brian
