Description

Missing 411 asks a question that is either deeply unsettling or complete nonsense, depending on who you ask: are certain wilderness disappearances actually connected? In Part 1, we break down what Missing 411 is, who David Paulides is, and the patterns he says prove these cases are more than random tragedy.

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode discusses missing-person cases, including children, death, and wilderness danger.

PSA: Since this episode touches on national parks, wilderness safety, and how quickly things can go wrong in remote areas, it is worth saying that these spaces are under real strain. Support parks directly, visit responsibly, and stay informed about what they need.
