Gwen Hasselquist - Gig Harbor - Washington

Author: Locations Unknown November 9, 2021 Duration: 1:36:23
A Note about this episode- For our regular listeners, this episode is a departure from the normal cases we cover.  A lawyer with sources close to the subject of this episode contacted us about the death of a woman named Gwen Hasselquist.  While her obituary lists the cause of death as Covid-19, his sources are convinced foul play is involved.  The following episode is our fact finding, in person interview, with the lawyer who has taken a personal interest in investigating this case.  Since recording this interview, we have filed several FOIA requests with local law enforcement, seeking out any additional information on what might have happened to Gwen.  If or when we discover significant additional information about Gwen, we will release a follow up episode to discuss the findings.  There are also some quotes containing profanity so parental discretion is advised.   March 2020, Gig Harbor Washington, Gwen Hasselquist is diagnosed with COVID 19, and goes missing.  Shortly after an obituary is posted in the local paper indicating that she passed away from the illness.  However, there are conflicting statements about the actual cause of her death.  Join us this week as we investigate the death of Gwen Hasselquist.

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.
