Veteran Park Ranger Vanishes in Chiricahua National Monument

from Locations Unknown · host Locations Unknown

On a quiet afternoon in January 1980, veteran park ranger Paul Fugate set out on a routine patrol in Arizona's Chiricahua National Monument, promising to return shortly.  He was never seen again.  Despite extensive searches, not a single trace of him was found. Was it a tragic accident in the rugged wilderness, or did something more sinister happen?  Join us as we revisit the mysterious disappearance of Paul Fugate.  (Episode 114)We first covered this case back on December 1, 2018.  At that time, no other podcasts had covered Paul's case and very few shows were even focusing on wilderness disappearances.  Since then, the wilderness disappearances sub-genre has exploded with amazing shows like Park Predators & National Park After Dark.  With our 6 year anniversary coming up fast, we thought it would be fun to redo our first episode from the ground up, so we ditched the original show notes and came into the case fresh, with new perspectives on what might have happened.  Hope you enjoy the episode and let us know how EP 114 compares with EP1!  We can't thank you enough for sticking with us for 6 years and we're looking forward to many more years to come!Learn more about Locations Unknown: https://linktr.ee/LocationsUnknownLearn about other shows in the Unknown Media Group network: The Weirdos We Know & Off The Trails!New Patreon Shoutouts - Kimberly Barber, Adam Bickford, Summer Shears, Amanda Weber.Want to help the show out and get even more Locations Unknown content!  For as little as $5 a month, you can become a Patron of Locations Unknown and get access to our episodes two days before release, special Patreon only episode (Currently a backlog of 51 additional episodes), free swag, swag contests, your picture on our supporter wall of fame, our Patreon only Discord Server, and discounts to our Locations Unknown Store!  Become a Patron of the Locations Unknown Podcast by visiting our Patreon page.  (https://www.patreon.com/locationsunknown)  All our Patreon only content (Audio & Video) can now be accessed via Spotify.  (Active subscription to our Patreon channel is required.) -- Locations Unknown Subscriber Only Show | Podcast on Spotify  Want to call into the show and leave us a message?  Now you can!  Call 208-391-6913 and leave Locations Unknown a voice message and we may air it on a future message! View live recordings of the show on our YouTube channel: Locations Unknown - YouTubeYou can view sources for this episode and all our previous episodes at: Sources — Locations UnknownPresented by Unknown Media Group.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/locations-unknown--6183838/support.
