The Last Hike: Missing Barbara Bolick

from Gone in a Blink

On a clear July morning in 2007, 55-year-old Barbara Bolick set out to hike her favorite trail in Montana's Bitterroot Mountains. An experienced hiker carrying a .357 Magnum for protection, she was less than 30 feet away from her hiking partner when he turned away for just 45 seconds. When he looked back, she was gone - no struggle, no sound, and no trace. Despite massive search efforts using infrared technology and scent dogs, not a single piece of her gear has ever been found. Join us as we investigate the mystery of the woman who seemingly vanished into thin air.Sources:Barbara Bolick: Gone Without a Trace - by Michelle ShortBarbara Assunta Bolick – The Charley ProjectBarbara Bolick: The mysterious puzzle of a woman hiker who disappeared in 45 seconds from the Bitterroot Mountains | - Times of IndiaMystery of Montana woman who disappeared without a trace after hiking partner turned their back for 45 secondsMusic:Crime Trap by Muza ProductionMysterious Cinematic Dark by Nikita KondrashevDon't Look Down the Basement by Joel FazhariCrying Alone by Clarier MusicDark Horror Background by Delo SoundDark Trap Groove by Anton Vlasovhttp://bit.ly/goneinablink-survey Thank you for helping us by taking our short survey.
