A thread dedicated to discussing disappearances and missing people.
In Nevada, Interstate 80 runs through stretches of desert. The desert can be a very unforgiving place with temperature swings and dangers that await those who venture through it. There have been a large number of unexplained disappearances and deaths along a certain stretch of I-80. Pumpernickel Valley's Exit 205 is extremely interesting because it leads to nowhere. But, there have been some very mysterious disappearances that appear to have occurred at this exit.
On Valentine's Day 2006, Judith Casida, a 62 year old woman and Reno resident, wrote a note to her husband, telling him she was unhappy with their marriage and their life in general and that she was leaving. She left in her 1991 white Mazda pickup truck. In March 2006, her car was found off of Exit 205 on I-80. The car had a full tank of gas and there wasn't anything wrong with it mechanically. A set of footprints from the truck led towards I-80, and then vanished. Her bank accounts showed no activity after her disappearance.
On April 13, 2011, 86 year old Patrick Carnes was driving down I-80 back to Reno after visiting family in Ohio. He was a World War Two vet, a former truck driver and was traveling with his akita mix, "Lucky." After being stopped for a traffic violation at 9 PM, Carnes indicated he was following the truck in front of him who Carnes claimed was headed for Elko. Carnes told the patrolman, somewhat cryptically, "I’ll never drive at night again. I’m only following him because he’s going to Elko." On the morning of April 14, 2011, Carnes' truck was also found off of exit 205, with only a single set of footprints leading away from the car. The car was found in sagebrush and was high-centered, but, like Judith's car, otherwise seemed in good working condition. Carnes' belongings remained in the car, including his checkbook. Neither Carnes nor Lucky were ever found. Carnes' family claimed he was a happy man with a fulfilling relationship with family.
Given that two elderly people disappeared within five years of each other off of the same exit, is there a chance their disappearances might have been linked? Is it possible both just got disoriented and lost, or that they committed suicide?

3 year old Pearl Turner went missing from Tate, Arkansas on October 19, 1923. She was last seen by her sister that morning eating berries in the front yard of their family cabin. Her mother rang the dinner bell for lunch around noon but Pearl failed to arrive.An immediate search was conducted and small footprints were located on the dirt road leading towards White Oak Mountain. The tracks stopped abruptly near the woods at the base of the mountain where Pearl's handkerchief was discovered, but she was nowhere to be found.There were allegedly multiple sightings of Pearl reported after her disappearance, but none were confirmed. The local sheriff's offices carried out door-to-door searches within the community. Search parties consisting of hundreds of people scoured the mountains and woods with the aid of dogs for several weeks. Despite the extensive searches conducted, Pearl was never located and her whereabouts remain unknown.

I have nothing relevant to add. Bump for interest.
>>42480029I had a very weird very scary experience in the Nevada desert
>>42484869If you wanna talk ..you know we are here for it
>>42484977I can give the story it’s not that exciting and annoying to type out on mobile. Here we go. SO! I’m wandering at the time. I live a nomadic lifestyle in my truck camper. I’m fully free at the time with a bit of cash so I’m just wandering around northern Nevada just to have a look see and place the vibe. Mostly new to me never been there apart from driving through….
>>42485153…. And it’s night time, I’m high af headed south on just like a county road, not a big expressway. It’s practically a dark sky area I love star gazing and I mean cmon it’s Nevada it sort of has that alien reputation with UFOs so I decide to pull west and continue south on another road well off the beaten path and take a moment to enjoy the night sky.
>>42485162So I’m driving south can see for MILES, it’s now well past dusk and the night has becoming properly dark. So I decide to just stop in the middle of the road truck off lights off don’t look at my phone, let my eyes adjust…
>>42485172… and I’m standing there in the middle of the road. I’m not worried about cars because I could see any traffic miles away, and I’d just get in and drive off if I saw anyone coming. SO! It’s so crummy typing on mobile So, then I’m just standing there right, eyes fixated on the night sky trying to let them fully adjust when I see just a teeny tiny flash in front of my face and what sounds like a small pebble hit the hood of my truck. I’m startled at first like, WTF!? but I look around and don’t notice anything. No additional sounds, no movement in the dark whatsoever, keep in mind it’s light pin drop silent out there….
>>42485192… I shrug it off. I’m high af, weed makes you paranoid, it just does, and all cannabis consumers have developed a sort of way to just shrug off weed paranoia and enjoy the high. So that’s what I do. Eh maybe some lizard startled by my presence scurried away and kicked up a peddle im sure it’s nothing. I return to fixating my eyes onto the night sky attempting to soak in the night sky without any light pollution. Even though it’s a meme UFO area, I am eager just to enjoy the stars and maybe even catch a shooting star lit up extra beautifully in the desert dark…
>>42485210… when all of a sudden… it happens again. And I don’t just mean happens again, a sound, a scurrying creature, something a bird would do, but a peddle maybe the size of a corn kernel passes right in front of me… TINK… the sound it makes as ,once again, it travels directly to the hood of the truck once more. Now I’m kinda uncomfortable you know. Being high and paranoid is one thing, stuff going “knock in the night” in the wilderness is one thing you know if you go camping or whatever critters will be around. I’m not freaking out yet but I’m uncomfortable.I continue to star gaze. But while doing so my logic brain begins looking for a solution. What lizard or desert creature of any kind that’d be startled by the presence of a human would just stick around? Even if there are desert creatures around… how would one be both large enough to kick up such stone and make no additional noise…? Keep in mind these two incidents took place in an environment I would call pin drop quiet. No additional noise, no blur shadow or flash of creature scurrying away, or even just upset there’s a potential predator in their environment, near to their den whatever maybe could cause creatures to be any type of way. My logic brain keeps trying to make sense of it and fails. I grow more uncomfortable.
>>42485243As I star gaze which is now difficult to enjoy as I just have my 6th sense start to scream at me. Everyone has this you know. Commonly referred to as a “gut feeling” So my 6th sense is going OFF while simultaneously my logic brain cannot find any sort of explanation for TWO solo corn kernel sized rocks carrying out their trajectory, that being, near to my face, and travelling to the hood of my truck TINKWhen… you guessed it, a THIRD pebble comes. Exactly the same. TINK it hits the hood of my truck after my eyes relay only a blur similar to that of a fly buzzing before a gaze fixated on distant object.
>>42485275NOW IM FREAKING OUTThe first couple caused the most casual and lazy stoner investigations you could imagine. Strolled a few feet away from the truck to both observe and listen in the direct the pebbles were coming from. So for context I’m now maybe idk 8ft from my driver’s side door in the middle of an off the beaten path Nevada road in the deep dark of a desert night, in pin drop silence. This is enough for me.I hastily get into my truck, at what I might call, just shy of panic mode.Turn the truck on high beams on I’m looking around. In the state of freak out I’m in, I’m already 100% adrenaline. Eyes darting from mirror to mirror, neck shifting from side to side. WHAT THE FUCK COULD POSSIBLY DO THAT.
>>42485312I’ve had enough. Star gazing is canceled. I’m still freaking out. My logic brain has been moving at 100x its usual pace since the second stone and has no explanation. After a short stupid curious look around from the perceived safety of the truck cab I pull off. I am keeping my eyes pealed. I’m several hours drive away from the nearest human being. I keep toying for explanation, and can’t find any, decide to drive a bit more quickly than maybe you should. As I begin to realise just how far from civilisation I am it just makes me even more nervous. Still freaking out.
>>42485345When BOOM I drive into no cell service It’s fr like the plot to the beginning of some fucking horror movie. Be freaking out the next hour or so until I get a signalHour or so later I enter a small town Before I know it I’m long gone from the scarcely populated portion of northern Nevada. The incident dwells on me and I retrace my thoughts and observations the rest of the nightThinking about it even now kinda bothers me But that’s itTold you it wasn’t that exciting BUT I will say, people have similar stories from different sorts of hot bed locations. Entities, or whatever word you’d like, enjoy toying with people. Don’t know. Don’t want to know. Happy i left.
>>42480036my theory is pretty mundane but also probably the most likely.she was 62, and if the divorce was a genuine thing, she would be under a lot of stress. At that age, she might have given herself a stroke or something that caused her to space out and walk away from the car.
It’s just evil humans. (Aliens)
>>42482200if the berries weren't actually edible, perhaps she was suffering from confusion from being poisoned by the berries.
>>42485162>im highstopped reading right there
>>42480011Most of these mysterious disappearances are probably just either:>Committed suicide in the wilderness and body was eaten by scavengers. Family doesn't want to come to terms with the fact that their loved one would do that so they cope by making a mystery out of it. Example: Any Missing 411 case>Got murdered by someone their family didn't know they were involved with (or was in the wrong place at the wrong time), body was well hidden. Example: Jason Landry>Some random person killed them by accident and covered it up. Example: Asha Degree
Regarding the case of Timmothy Pitzen: did his mom kill him, or did she give him to a cult?
>>42485487I get it you never smoked weed before
>>42485425She was 62? I thought 18. 2 17Recently to me it was revealed that the answer what is truth, is a string of numbers in correct places. 52
>>42485495All three of these can be summed up as:>The majority of "mysterious missing persons cases" are people who are clearly dead but their families and friends don't want to accept that so they cope by making a mystery out of it.
I had a great grandpa who went missing like seventy or eighty years ago. He just left one day and was never seen again.
>>42485522Retarded schizo it's in the first sentence
Interesting thread premise hopefully it can recover from the retarded schizos
>>42480011 DigitsI'm a bit tipsy on something right now, and that brings me to a theory I had a long while back involving the active mind under influence, and the ability to "roll" out of reality as you know it towards another potential.Pretty much shifting frequencies within the universe bringing you to another order of things.Maybe shift in mind/mentality allows you to slip through figurative cracks in the substrate or medium which composes and backs all contingent matter, and that's why some people disappear in parks or even in cities or at home.you enter a part of "the veil" that is thinner, or it thins before you, just as you're shifting your mind to a higher vibrational frequency, then you "slip though" to the other side, wherever that may be.It's only a series of thoughts I had past-tense.I'm not sure if it holds water, but something's happening to people, and it has been for a very long time. Possibly always has been this way.
>>42480011I haven't seen my father in decades
>disappearances >1 billion people, just gone
>>42487084Interesting. It could be possible they were lying all along, and they never had those numbers, so they are covering up that fact. Or, it could be that many people really did disappear, or were made to "disappear" in a more mob-like context of thee meaning.Perhaps it was disease or... Whatever the case, it's interesting.
>>42480011I often feel like I was disappeared and installed into this current life. I don't have any weird memories of a previous life or anything like that. It's just a vague but persistent feeling.
>>42487101My research (using many sources) has brought me to the conclusion that human population on Earth is now just about 2 billion people.(That also makes the 500 million goal of the "great reset" more realistic.)
>>42484456this dude went downhill FAST after his son an heroed, that poor dog he shows in every video looks FATIGUED
>>42485425Woulda still been found by cadaver dogs, especially within walking distance.
>>42487195Then what's the real population of India and africa? Because they've invaded every corner of the globe.
>>42487595yeah that was sad. i heard the son do an interview on coast to coast am not long before got the news he'd offed himself. strange.
>>42480011Sometimes the Earth just opens up and swallows you whole.
