Author: Locations Unknown January 12, 2021 Duration: 52:45
On October 9th, 2020, Sam Dubal set out on an overnight solo hike in Mount Rainier National Park.  As an experienced and prepared hiker, he planned to do a quick one day hike of the Mother Mountain Loop, expecting to finish on October 10th.  When he hadn’t returned by October 12th, he was reported missing and a large search and rescue mission kicked off.  Join us this week as we investigate the puzzling disappearance of Sam Dubal and the extensive search that followed.

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.
