Gone Hunting: The Disappearance of Roger "Fred" Farmer

When 58-year-old Roger “Fred” Farmer told his family he was heading out for a hunting trip in late 2019, no one questioned it—he was an outdoorsman, a routine guy. But weeks passed with only a few strange text messages from Fred, and his loved ones began to sense that something wasn’t right. He wasn’t returning calls. He missed the holidays. And those texts? They didn’t sound like him at all. As Fred’s family pushed for answers, investigators began peeling back layers of a story that didn’t add up. From a suspicious shift in spending to surveillance footage that raised more questions than answers, each new detail led them deeper into a case that had started as a missing person—and felt like anything but.
