Scott Sampson was only 26 years old when he was left to die on a cold sidewalk outside Pine Street Variety. For over 30 years, the details have been shrouded in official silence, but the grief of a family remains as sharp as the day it began.In this investigative episode of Locating the Lost, we go beyond the police tape with Scott’s sister, Sandra Hill and his son Shawn.

What secrets are still held by the streets of Portland?

Travis Hartford hosts Locating the Lost, a journey into the shadows where facts fade and questions linger. Each episode is a deep, respectful exploration of cases that have slipped through the cracks-individuals who have vanished without a trace, cold cases that defy conventional explanation, and occasional brushes with the unexplained that surround such events. The focus here is on the human stories at the heart of the mystery, told with a careful balance of detail and empathy. You’ll hear Travis delve into the available evidence, discuss the theories that have emerged over time, and often sit with the unsettling reality that some puzzles remain incomplete. This isn't about sensationalism; it's about the persistent search for answers in the face of silence. For anyone drawn to the complexities of true crime and the haunting possibility of the paranormal, this podcast offers a thoughtful, compelling space to consider what happens when someone simply disappears. The atmosphere is one of quiet investigation, making it a distinctive voice in the genre.
