    That second story always makes me think that if the son was feeling delirious and fatigued there’s probably a good chance he thought he was walking towards his father but he was too out of it to realize it was the wrong way

    • @MaryLoveJane
      @MaryLoveJane Před 10 měsíci +24

      But why would he tell the dog to stay if he thought he was meeting up with his father? That would mean someone still has to walk back to get the dog if they’d found help.

    • @Moonchild0
      @Moonchild0 Před 7 měsíci +78

      It sounds more like hypothermia. It's when the body temperature is really really low. The signs are: Confusion, Delusional, very tired and feeling of paralization / immobility. That comes and probably goes away for a short time. Like your body has the last bit of strengh left. But it also can make you think you are hot like your sweating. That's why people with hypthermia tend to get undressed. Maybe the dog noticed it but wanted to stay because of the father? And then because of the snowstorm and the bad weather they couldn't see where he went and the dog couldn't find his scent.
      Why he did it? There is no answer to this because he - the son - wasn't sane anymore.
      The father seemed also has had hypothermia as he thought he is seeing things that weren't there.
      And that's why hikers should have a satellite telefon and a gps with you. Always.

      That whole story is truly mysterious. Nothing in it makes any sense. I mean, didn’t they have someone at home who would’ve known that they hadn’t come home when they said they would be and why would he have taken off his socks and boots. Just doesn’t make any sense unless the dad had something to do with it.

    • @Grandma_Owl
      @Grandma_Owl Před 5 měsíci

      @@debrajones4010 Everything that the son was described as doing makes perfect sense and is far from mysterious if you know what you're looking at. It sounds like a classic case of hypothermia. The delirium, the paradoxical undressing (taking off the clothes when it's obviously freezing), the immobility, and him getting a burst of energy right at the end are all textbook symptoms. That last burst of adrenaline filled energy is the body desperately trying to heat itself up and keep moving, which explains how he got up and started walking after not being able to all day and why he died so soon after losing some of his clothes. The undressing happens at about the same time, hence why the clothes and body were found relatively close together. The dog is easily explained by him just listening to the father's command to stay put. Hunting dogs usually have amazing obedience, so chances are, it got told to stay and it stayed. As for the trip and people knowing, they might not have told anyone or it may have just been between the two of them for whatever reason (i.e. there wasn't a mom/wife in the picture, they just didn't think to make it a big deal, etc.). The dad is the least shady person in this story, and most of it is chalked up to a lack of emergency preparedness and horrible weather.

    I'm a new mother. My son's first birthday was recently and I asked for a state park pass so we can go to different state parks. I love hiking and he loves being outside. A lot of the parks have other attractions, but I primarily want to go hiking.
    Now I'm regretting asking for the pass. It's illogical, nothing is going to happen. But, the idea of him just disappearing terrifies me. I would be ruined mentally. My heart breaks for these families.

    I was once lost in a patch of woods once. I had gone there to deer hunt. That is probably the worst few minutes of my life. I say that because once panic sets in you find yourself running aimlessly, making a bad situation only worse. But I did finally get a grip on my situation and found myself a way out to my truck. I had actually somehow circled around and came out about 2 miles from where I parked. Great story telling.

      A similar thing happened to me and my cousins out at our Grandmother's property. It's ringed by woods that get thicker the further away from the house you get. We were lost for the entire afternoon, it was almost dark by the time we finally exited the woods a while down the road at the next house down. Crazy far from my Grandmother's house, you can't even see the two houses from one another. We were less than 10 and we had no idea how far we had walked, no clue what direction we were going in.

    Story 1: After watching true crime stories I have come to realize that family can do very disturbing acts to one another. The simplest explanation is the most probable. The child's family. If the detectives were worth anything they would have suspected the family after all other reasonable explanations had not panned out. I think MrBallen left that part out. If he did not, then why were the family not suspects?

But leaving a 6-year-old with a 4-year-old and then being angry with the 6-year-old is as irresponsible as it gets. That poor young man probably feels guilty to this day, even though he would be in his 60's today.

    6:10 Abduction sounds right. There are all kinds of creeps and serial killers in the forests ... like Gary Hilton, Randall Lee Smith, or Cary Stayner for example. One of the key aspects that distinguishes an "antisocial personality disorder" from a "psychopath" is their tendency to commit "crimes of opportunity" without any planning or thought. Snatching a kid on a whim wouldn't be abnormal for them. They were on a more remote part of a camp site but still "near" a camp site. This is the kind of place people trying to hide out, find victims, or "stealth camp" would be. The spot in the road is where the abductor picked Bobby up and carried him. As far as not hearing anything, all the abductor had to do was silently wave him over or lure him away with something. Doesn't sound that mysterious to me, actually.

    Things I got from these stories.
    1. Never leave a minor under another minor's care then get irritated if the other old minor does something a normal minor would do, which is become unpatient or easily distracted.
    2. Never assume safety, just because you think you're alone, doesn't necessarily mean that you are.
    3. Just don't leave your kid alone and unattended. Kids do stupid and illogical things, they're adventurous, curious and wants to explore.

Mall security was looking for him. The movie theater was located at some exot doors and I was terrified he had been abducted. I kept my eyes trained on those doors just in case somebody tried to leave with him. At one moment I took my eyes off the exits doors and peered down the hallway where the movie rooms were situated. Suddenly I saw him! He ran out of one of the theater rooms and crossed the isle going into another room! I ran to the entrance and stepped into the darkness. There he was standing in the darkened room, watching the movie. He had been running in and out and watching the different movies!

    I think for the second story that the son was quickly suffering from hypothermia causing confusion and disorientation cause maybe he wanted to follow his dad but quickly got lost and just kept on going in hopes of finding his dad. The son most likely couldn’t walk because of his hypothermia as well. Hypothermia can make you file like you aren’t able to walk due to muscle stiffness and difficulty in moving, that’s because his body was probably trying to conserve warmth by decreasing his blood flow. After not moving for a while and conserving enough heat, I think he could walk again to a certain extent. That his shoes and socks where off could also be due to the hypothermia making him falsely believe he was actually hot instead of cold. And as for the dad who didn’t show many signs of hypothermia might have gotten a few symptoms, though later and less severe than his son, without realizing. The headlights would then be most likely to be a hypothermia induced hallucination. So all in all I believe the strange occurrences where the result of hypothermia

    Never leave your kids alone in the woods, a park, even your car-- or anywhere you wouldn't want to be alone in.

    I will say from experience, hypothermia is a very very mind boggling thing. I too had began to get frost bite in my feet before the full blown hypothermia had set it. The whole thing happened 22 years ago to this day actually. I had been riding my 4 wheeler from a friends home which was a solid 4-5 hour trip on a good day. It was in a very remote location in the high mountains of West Virginia. This road is 37 miles from one end to the other across a high mountain ridge and on this day it had been snowing to the point that I had to almost come to a complete stop because I couldn’t see for the snow flakes hitting my eyes. I had stopped at a farmers home to see if he would allow me to warm up and him knowing the misery I was enduring, invited me into his home and offered me sone warm coffee to which I very willingly accepted. I was only 15 years old mind you and I probsbky shouldn’t have made this trip alone but I had made it many times before and I knew I had school the next day so I had to try and get home. Knowing this area, I also knew that the snow storm was coming and had to try and get home regardless of the weather. The snow and ice had gathered on my bibs and when I stood up I’d have to take both fists and break the ice on my legs before I could stand because they were literally frozen the shape of my leg while setting. after leaving the old farmers home I had realized the snow had gotten much deeper in the hour or so I was at the farmers and I was starting to have a hard time even busting through sone of the heavy snow drifts. I finally got back to lower elevation where the snow wasn’t as deep snd instead of taking the back way, thst I normally took, it was an old railroad grade. I instead took the pavement home which was still about 20 miles or so but I was so miserable I couldn’t have ever made the longer back way. Wheh I got home I started taking off my boots and my feet had gotten so cold, my left heel had gotten completely frost bitten and the instant that I started to warm my feet up, thr left frozen heel ruptured and literally bloody slush oozed from the inside of my foot. I ended up suffering from frost bite in every toe on both feet. And the lack of blood flow had caused damage through my entire body. I ended up making a full recovery. When I first went to the doctor they took a brush snd scrubbed the nasty stuff out if my ruptured heel and took a huge swab and soaked my foot in gypsum violet, (I think it was called) it burned so bad I’ll never forget the pain. But I can very easily see the young man making irrational decisions that could’ve let to his demise. Dad situation. Sorry to be so long winded. Give me a like if you read this to the end. I’m sure somebody finds my story interesting.
