59: Disappearance - Kat Hammontre

In the remote beauty of Sierra de San Pedro Mártir National Park, Katherine "Kat" Hammontre’s life took a mysterious turn on April 11, 2019. The 68-year-old American expat, who had become a beloved figure in her Baja California community, vanished without a trace during what was supposed to be a leisurely hike on her wedding anniversary. Despite an extensive search involving local volunteers, military personnel, and rescue teams, Kat and her dog, Tootsie, disappeared amidst the park’s rugged terrain. The official search was called off just days later, but the questions linger. What happened to Kat? Where did she and Tootsie go? As the case remains unresolved, her family and friends continue to grapple with the enigma of her disappearance.Support us on Patreon for as little as $1 a month, with benefits starting at the $3 tier!Follow us on Instagram at offthetrailspodcastFollow us on Facebook at Off the Trails PodcastIf you have your own outdoor misadventure (or adventure) story that you'd like us to include in a listener episode, send it to us at [email protected]  Please take a moment to rate and review our show, and a big thanks if you already have!  Episode Sources:Strange Outdoors, DailyMail, Youtube - Grave Haven, Youtube - Brian's Mysteries & Adventures on Trail, Warren Sundquist's Facebook, Wikipedia, Travel Weekly, AllTrails**We do our own research and try our best to cross reference reliable sources to present the most accurate information we can.
