Author: Locations Unknown June 11, 2019 Duration: 1:20:58
May 25th, 1999 - Carl Landers was on his second summit attempt of Mt Shasta in the California wilderness.  An avid outdoorsman and runner, Carl was no stranger to the perils and the difficulties of a technical mountain climb.  While ascending Mt Shasta with his two close friends, Carl decided to head up the trail first while his friends pack up camp.  When they arrived at the next stop - Carl was gone. He had vanished into thin air! What happened to Carl? Where did he go? Are there any logical explanations?  Join us this week as we try to uncover the truth behind the mysterious disappearance of Carl Landers.

Locations Unknown ventures into the silent, vast spaces where people have simply gone missing. Hosts Mike & Joe guide each episode through a specific case, piecing together timelines from the final known moments, through the often-frustrating official searches, and into the lingering questions that haunt families and park rangers alike. This isn't just a true crime podcast; it’s a close look at the intersection of human error, unpredictable nature, and the peculiar geography of places like dense national forests and isolated mountain ranges that can swallow a person whole. You’ll hear about the decisions made in the critical hours, the terrain that complicated everything, and the community of experts and amateurs who keep looking. The show naturally explores how these landscapes, while beautiful, hold secrets, making the wilderness itself a central character in every story. Tune in for a respectful, detailed examination of stories that end not with a conclusion, but with an open map and a deepened mystery. The podcast digs into the cultural fascination with these vanishings and what they reveal about our relationship with the wild, remote corners of the country.
