Details of Disappearance
Woods was last seen in the vicinity of Pinman Mine near the ghost town of Orogrande in Idaho County, Idaho on October 5, 2018. A production assistant from Prince George's County, Maryland, he was in the area helping film a documentary on abandoned gold mines for a British television show called Whitewater.

He was supposed to be working with the crew up until mid-November, but a few days before his disappearance, he texted his parents to say he was cutting his trip short and would be home on October 10.

Woods's coworkers on the production crew said he was acting strange and at some point he ran into the woods and never returned. At first the rest of the crew thought he might have fallen off a cliff, but when they arrived at the cliff they saw him down at the bottom, still running. His coworkers reported him missing at 5:30 p.m.

Woods is a graduate of the University of Maryland and previously worked for the hit TV show The Voice. He lived in London, England for several years after graduation, and returned to the United States in 2018. His loved ones stated he had traveled extensively for work, as far as Morocco, and it was uncharacteristic of him to to a cut a trip short and return home early.

His mother theorizes he may have been afraid of someone he was working with in Idaho, and that's why he wanted to leave. Police stated there was no indication of foul play in his case, but the circumstances of his disappearance are unclear.

This is a bizarre case, for sure! It was a little eerie for me even typing up the thread. He disappears from a ghost town? :eek: Almost sounds like the plot of a movie. I’m going to have to listen to that Podcast. Thank you for the link @mrz !
 
Wow, what a strange story. While I can’t help but think something is so suspicious here... I just can’t help but think that 11 people is too many to all agree to cover it up. Unless they all had the same motive to hurt him and hide him but that’s extremely unlikely. Even if just one person snuck off with him and hurt him he would have been found relatively quickly I think.
So sad for this bright young man’s family, it’s been far too long without any answers.
 
Just a strange set of circumstances in an odd remote area. Have wondered many times if there's long abandoned mine shafts that could have been unseen until it was too late for him to react.
Prayers for Terrence and his family and friends, so sorry there don't seem to be answers about his fate. Whole lot of area out there to try to search. Connie's vanishing as well. Think of them often, very sad MOO
 
Hope this shines a light on the circuit of Terrence's vanishing. The details seem to be provided by a few in the production crew . Odd . I don't know how else to describe it.
Where are you Terrence ? Pray for him, family and friends daily, and for answers . MOO
 
Praying for the family. I pray they finally get some answers. He didn’t just vanish into thin air in front of people who were there watching him “run off” down a hill. There’s got to be a clue somewhere. I hope they find him so his family can have some closure. I can’t imagine how the family feels & how frustrated they must be. I won’t stop praying until he’s found. That’s all I can do.
