The Cold Vanish: Seeking the Missing in North America's Wildlands by Jon Billman
5.0
Thousands of people have gone missing in the North American wilderness, and there is currently no official reporting system in place to know exactly how many people have vanished in national parks, let alone on other federal lands. Author Jon Billman tags along with Randy Gray as he hikes around the Pacific Northwest in search of his son, Jacob, who went missing in the Olympic National Park, Washington. As different theories as to what might have happened to Jacob are put forward, Billman weighs the likelihood of the theory by recounting cases of other people who went missing under similar circumstances.
This book combines two things that are fascinating to me: missing people and wilderness adventures. There's just so much mystery involved. Recently I saw a map that overlayed missing people with cave systems in N America. It made a good point. Sometimes it seems like people are just swallowed up. Maybe they are.
