13. Vanished in Happy Valley (Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee)

When a man disappears into the forestland that surrounds his home everyone is stunned. He knew  Great Smoky Mountains National Park like the back of his hand…so how did he go missing with no trace left behind? Only one clue was left behind: his idle ATV. Two questions remain: Did he stumble upon something he wasn’t supposed to see and where is he now?Tips: Blount County Sheriff's Department 865-273-5001**edit: I mentioned that Matt was Mike's brother, that is incorrect. Matt is one of Mike's sons.***Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Smoky_Mountains_National_Parkhttps://charleyproject.org/case/michael-edwin-hearonhttps://www.wbir.com/article/news/special-reports/the-vanished/vanished-mike-hearon-missing-in-the-moutains/51-d4855ea8-13ba-4710-a534-0ce8f1dc8441https://archive.knoxnews.com/news/local/50-volunteers-join-search-for-missing-maryville-man-ep-411119166-359796801.html/?page=1https://www.strangeoutdoors.com/mysterious-stories-blog/mike-hearonhttps://www.wbir.com/article/news/local/mike-hearon-man-missing-in-the-mountains/51-354008626https://www.nps.gov/grsm/index.htmhttps://www.newspapers.com/newspage/128530073/Support the showJoin our Patreon for bonus content!
