Troopers call off search for Wisconsin man: http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/state-and-regional/troopers-suspend-search-for-man-missing-in-alaska/article_60701dbe-0b3a-56ab-a1c3-4550fd07e342.html I have a feeling that Thomas was the sort who wouldn't have worn a tracking device, no matter...

Sorry to spam this thread, but this is a fantastic article about Thomas and his journey into Alaska. Very detailed. http://www.alaskadispatch.com/article/two-modern-alaska-pioneers-one-virtually-present-another-really-missing?page=0,0

But the search for him is not expected to continue much longer, given searchers really don't know where to look. The obvious routes from the cabin where Seibold was staying on the Ambler River to the village of Kobuk, where he planned to catch a flight home, have been examined. There was no sign...

Huh, that's an interesting school. It looks very intensive and kind of fun, honestly... though the guy who founded it makes me a little nervous. He seems very much one of those spiritual types who tries to come off Native American with a special name and lots of 'wisdom' to impart. Not that he's...

Ha! Hi, StormyNights! I see so few Wisconsin cases come up here that I thought maybe there weren't too many of us here! Which might be the case still, but it's nice to meet another one. :) Yeah, unfortunately it seems like Alaska has a lot of experience in searching for people who get in over...

Oh boy. That does not sound good. I wonder how much practice he's actually had in tough wilderness. I live in Wisconsin, and camping/hiking is certainly capable of killing you if you're not prepared, but it's nothing on par with Alaska. I'm an avid hiker and one of the reasons I love Wisconsin...

Actually, I've read that this is very common behavior among people lost in the wilderness. After only a few days I think they kind of go into survival mode and everything and everyone becomes possibly dangerous. Even searchers scare them. If he lost his phone or his pack (another common thing...

A thought: Placing her in a box and then placing that box in a visible area says something about the killer. From a criminology standpoint. That's not the usual 'throw away' of a body that killers so often do. I'm certainly not an expert, but I've picked up enough profiling by osmosis and I get...

Yeah, I think the only way it will ever be solved is if Trenny's body is eventually found. These cases in the Smoky Mountains are just so fascinating because the people are there one minute and then gone the next, and then no trace of them is ever found. It just happens that quickly. I don't...

Interesting that this will be my first post to this forum when it's a case that is long cold and probably rarely remembered, but I just got back from a vacation in the Smokies, and have thoughts. I was reading about Trenny Gibson's disappearance the night before I walked the same trail to...
