Corey Fay - Badger Creek Wilderness - Oregon

Author: Locations Unknown October 30, 2021 Duration: 56:09
November 23, 1991, a 17 year old went elk hunting with some friends in the remote Oregon Wilderness.  When he failed to meet back up at the car that evening, his friends notified the authorities and the biggest search in Oregon’s history kicked off.  The case went cold for over a year until a grizzly discovery was made. Join us this week as we discuss the disappearance of Corey Fay.   (Episode 49)

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.
