Such a strange story and hitting close to where I live. I hope they find her soon!

If you look at a map of the Great Smoky Mts National Park it doesn't seem very remote. Deep Creek Campground is between Bryson City and Cherokee, NC, where there is a big hotel and casino. But those are really small tourist towns. If you go a mile off the highway in any direction you are...

We don't think of any large animals being the cause of an accident in Japan, but the info about the hostel where she stayed said local hunters provided venison and wild boar meat for the visitors. A wild boar is a big scary animal that can definitely chase someone off a trail suddenly. I hope...

So sorry for the family that Julian Sands is still missing. I hope they can find him before the next storm hits because if not, it might be June or July before they can search again. My kids were in California traveling through the Sierras last June and the eastern road into Yosemite was still...

I just have to chime in on this case because it is driving me bonkers. I lived overlooking the Tennessee River for 8 years. That is a very large, wide river with strong currents, logs, debris, giant catfish - you name it. I knew someone who disappeared near the river in winter, February in fact...

This case is starting to sound similar to the Signal Mountain Murders near Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1988. Three big strong men, ex-military, went off on ATV's to visit a local swimming hole. Unfortunately they crossed paths with an angry landowner who somehow shot and killed all three, then...

It's like the junkyard scene from "Stand By Me," only with adults. Very bizarre!

RIP, very sorry for the family. What a shame. This sounds like a simple hike gone wrong for the victim. I live in E. TN near the Smokies and while the map shows how close this trail was to Cherokee and Maggie Valley N.C., that doesn't mean it wasn't remote. Even on the Tennessee side, you can...

Thank you for the updates. I live in Tennessee and haven't seen any news about this case whatsoever. It's just shocking that they could disappear completely so close to a town, even a small town. What happened to them? Maybe as people are out hiking and looking at wildflowers this spring someone...

Very sad ending. RIP. ❤

Too cold and too deep of a river to swim at night. An intoxicated person might try it, though. Very sad!

Having studied the map, I can't figure out why he would go to the Riverwalk at that time of night. It really makes no sense.

This one gives me chills. I used to live on Queen City Avenue for a very short time while in graduate school in Tuscaloosa. In the early 80s I lived right off of University Boulevard, so not on the direct route where this young man was walking, but in that neighborhood. Tuscaloosa is a typical...

That is a very common type of tent. We had one for our children 20 years ago very similar to that. It's lightweight but not that flimsy actually. It has a wire or plastic frame inside to hold it up, and if the tent pegs are hammered into the ground it stays up well. I think our tent had an extra...

OMG, her poor son! Only 10 years old. So sad. This is a weird case but now I think her disappearance has to be connected to her employer's legal trouble. Maybe she knew too much and they were afraid she would flip on them in court? They need to find her car, but I'm not to hopeful. JMOO

The incident was memorable enough for them to remember weeks later when it was reported that Gabby was missing. And we don't know how many others saw it - maybe quite a few people. As far a "screaming" goes, it could just mean he was raising his voice and getting in the faces of the restaurant...

So "giving BL space" was the answer all the time, because otherwise he would spin out of control? Soothe the beast or he will bite you? Too bad he still died in the swamp after getting some "space" from his parents. And you say Gabby should have learned from his parents to just let him go off on...

I knew they were going to say this. Brian was upset when he left, although the parents didn't try to stop him, apparently. Completely predictable. But why did they not make this public before? It might have helped his case if people thought he felt remorse over Gabby's death, but Nahhh, the...

It's a New York thing. I have two friends from New York, one from Ithaca who now lives in Tampa, and one who has always lived on Long Island. They have both told me that "useless" is just about the worst thing anyone can say about a person.

Truly, an alligator could live in any body of water large or small in eastern coastal plain of the U.S. I wouldn't stand too close to a ditch full of water anywhere south of Atlanta, and every swamp has alligators even parks like Mykkahatchi where they encourage camping and fishing. JMOO This...
