Laura Macke - Olympic National Park - Washington

from Locations Unknown Hosted by Locations Unknown

October 30th, 2022: a 35-year-old counselor sets out alone into the storm-soaked rainforests of Olympic National Park. As an experienced hiker with survival training, she planned a multi-day trek into the remote backcountry. But as a powerful Pacific storm hammered the valley with freezing rain and rising rivers, she never returned. Despite an intensive multi-agency search, no trace of her has ever been found. Join us this week as we investigate the mysterious disappearance of Laura Macke.
