The Disappearance of Michael and Chucky Palmer

from Gone in a Blink

One family, two unfathomable tragedies. In 1999, 15-year-old Michael Palmer vanished into the early morning hours while biking home from a party in Wasilla, Alaska. Eleven years later, history would repeat itself in the worst way possible way when his 30-year-old brother, Chucky, disappeared while snowmobiling in the Talkeetna Mountains. Both brothers were riding at the back of their groups. Both left their vehicles behind. Neither has ever been found. We unpack the eerie parallels of the cases, the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness, and a family left living the same nightmare twice.Sources:Missing in the North: Michael Timothy PalmerWhat Happened to the Palmer Brothers? by Robin Barefield — This Awful-Awesome LifeMissing in the North: Michael Timothy Palmerhttps://www.akfatal.net/Palmer%2006-04-97.htmThe last brother - Anchorage Daily NewsWhy Over 20,000 People Have Vanished In "The Alaska Triangle" | IFLScienceMichael Timothy Palmer – The Charley ProjectMusic:Eerie Crime Background by UniversfieldCrime Trap by Muza ProductionDark Horror Background by Delo SoundDon't Look Down the Basement by Joel FazhariDark Trap Groove by Anton VlasovSad Guitar Beat by Slice BeatsCreated and Produced by Heather HicksWritten by Mitch Fitzhttp://bit.ly/goneinablink-survey Thank you for helping us by taking our short survey.
