00:00:43,209 --> 00:00:47,255
- [Simon] Never in my wildest dreams
8
00:00:47,255 --> 00:00:51,968
did I think when I told Gary
something bad is gonna happen,
9
00:00:54,304 --> 00:00:56,514
did I think it was gonna be this.
10
00:00:59,768 --> 00:01:01,102
- [Gal] I can't imagine
11
00:01:01,102 --> 00:01:03,730
what Gary must have been going through
12
00:01:03,730 --> 00:01:05,231
and how he must have felt
13
00:01:05,231 --> 00:01:08,902
being so alone and so far out there.
14
00:01:12,614 --> 00:01:15,075
- [Beverly] He said
that the longer he stood
15
00:01:15,075 --> 00:01:16,242
and looked at it,
16
00:01:18,203 --> 00:01:22,457
the more spooked that he
got the feeling of dread,
17
00:01:22,457 --> 00:01:25,919
the sixth sense that he
needed to get out of there.
18
00:01:25,919 --> 00:01:28,755
(thunder roaring)
19
00:02:09,629 --> 00:02:11,131
(thunder roars)
20
00:02:19,347 --> 00:02:22,183
(thunder roaring)
21
00:02:23,768 --> 00:02:25,770
(dramatic music)
22
00:02:55,633 --> 00:02:56,968
- I first knew something was wrong
23
00:02:56,968 --> 00:03:00,138
when I was on the phone with my publisher,
24
00:03:00,138 --> 00:03:03,057
and Simon kept trying to call in.
25
00:03:03,057 --> 00:03:06,352
And so once I was off the
phone with my publisher,
26
00:03:06,352 --> 00:03:10,064
I called Simon who's Gary's roommate.
27
00:03:10,064 --> 00:03:13,902
And he told me that
Gary was two days late.
28
00:03:13,902 --> 00:03:16,738
That's not Gary,
29
00:03:16,738 --> 00:03:17,906
you know, Gary,
30
00:03:18,907 --> 00:03:21,326
would never leave Tuca that long,
31
00:03:21,326 --> 00:03:24,412
especially knowing that
Simon had to go out of town.
32
00:03:24,412 --> 00:03:26,414
That's when I knew that
there was something wrong,
33
00:03:26,414 --> 00:03:27,540
and I needed to get there.
34
00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:32,378
So I packed up and left Panaca
and headed straight to Ruth.
35
00:03:32,378 --> 00:03:34,631
I needed to see what was going on
36
00:03:34,631 --> 00:03:37,008
and make sure that my brother was okay.
37
00:03:37,008 --> 00:03:39,469
And to take care of Tuca
until he could get back.
38
00:03:42,513 --> 00:03:44,182
I really thought he would be back.
39
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,104
- I first met Gary when
they were having an event
40
00:03:50,104 --> 00:03:52,440
at the Nevada Northern Railway.
41
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:57,403
And we both just kind of,
wandered in each other's paths,
42
00:03:57,403 --> 00:03:59,948
and started talking about trains,
43
00:03:59,948 --> 00:04:04,786
and, we were both looking
for a place to stay.
44
00:04:04,786 --> 00:04:06,329
I was trying to find a place for work,
45
00:04:06,329 --> 00:04:08,331
he was in between places,
46
00:04:08,331 --> 00:04:12,210
and we kind of just
happened upon this place.
47
00:04:14,212 --> 00:04:17,423
- The first time I heard
the name, Gary Hinge,
48
00:04:17,423 --> 00:04:22,262
I believe was when I was working
for the radio station NNN,
49
00:04:22,262 --> 00:04:23,388
It was um..
50
00:04:23,388 --> 00:04:24,931
I was an investigative reporter,
51
00:04:24,931 --> 00:04:26,766
it was my first job right out of the gate,
52
00:04:26,766 --> 00:04:28,851
and my producer came
to me and he was like,
53
00:04:28,851 --> 00:04:30,436
we have to cover this,
54
00:04:30,436 --> 00:04:32,689
I think it's a good
idea for us to do this,
55
00:04:32,689 --> 00:04:35,608
because the TV stations, the news,
56
00:04:35,608 --> 00:04:36,943
had stopped recording on it.
57
00:04:36,943 --> 00:04:39,278
And so this was a way
for us to get exclusives
58
00:04:39,278 --> 00:04:40,488
and to keep the story going.
59
00:04:40,488 --> 00:04:43,616
Because according to everyone
else that was hearing about it
60
00:04:43,616 --> 00:04:47,412
and reporting about it,
it had just gone cold.
61
00:04:47,412 --> 00:04:50,123
- If you want me to
describe my brother Gary,
62
00:04:50,123 --> 00:04:54,502
the best way to describe him is,
63
00:04:55,628 --> 00:04:57,422
if there was a little lady that said,
64
00:04:57,422 --> 00:04:59,465
can you please watch my purse,
65
00:05:00,550 --> 00:05:02,677
no matter where they were at,
66
00:05:02,677 --> 00:05:06,764
Gary would sit there and
he would watch her purse
67
00:05:06,764 --> 00:05:10,101
and make sure that it was
safe until she came back.
68
00:05:10,101 --> 00:05:12,395
That was just the type
of person that he was,
69
00:05:12,395 --> 00:05:17,400
he was trustworthy and amazing.
70
00:05:18,943 --> 00:05:19,819
Amazing.
71
00:05:21,612 --> 00:05:23,239
- So Gary loved the outdoors,
72
00:05:23,239 --> 00:05:26,951
I mean, he was the king of outdoors.
73
00:05:26,951 --> 00:05:27,994
Let's just say that.
74
00:05:27,994 --> 00:05:31,372
And I think a lot of people
were really envious of him.
75
00:05:31,372 --> 00:05:34,250
Like he lived this
beautiful adventurous life,
76
00:05:34,250 --> 00:05:39,005
that I think, those who
have the nine to five job,
77
00:05:39,005 --> 00:05:40,214
stuck behind a desk,
78
00:05:40,214 --> 00:05:44,052
I think, really admired that about him.
79
00:05:45,261 --> 00:05:48,765
- Super smart, but definitely private,
80
00:05:48,765 --> 00:05:51,184
he kind of just kept to himself.
81
00:05:51,184 --> 00:05:56,189
If he wasn't in his room on his computer,
82
00:05:56,522 --> 00:05:59,317
then he was working on his model railroad.
83
00:06:01,527 --> 00:06:02,362
But other than that,
84
00:06:02,362 --> 00:06:04,989
yeah, just really kept
to himself in his room
85
00:06:04,989 --> 00:06:06,199
making his videos.
86
00:06:08,367 --> 00:06:09,952
Super funny, though (chuckles slightly)
87
00:06:09,952 --> 00:06:11,871
definitely could make you laugh
88
00:06:11,871 --> 00:06:13,873
with a couple of his one liners.
89
00:06:15,041 --> 00:06:17,043
(uplifting music)
90
00:06:17,502 --> 00:06:21,047
- I started to learn
more about who Gary was.
91
00:06:21,047 --> 00:06:21,881
And I found out
92
00:06:21,881 --> 00:06:25,134
that he was an extremely
highly intelligent man.
93
00:06:26,052 --> 00:06:28,513
He's one of those people that was so smart
94
00:06:28,513 --> 00:06:32,391
that kind of had a hard time
connecting with other people.
95
00:06:33,351 --> 00:06:37,522
So he mostly just kind
of was more, solitude,
96
00:06:37,522 --> 00:06:41,776
and yeah, fascinating.
97
00:06:41,776 --> 00:06:43,152
The more I found out about him,
98
00:06:43,152 --> 00:06:48,157
the more I wanted to keep
finding out about, who is Gary?
99
00:06:50,326 --> 00:06:52,328
(uplifting music)
100
00:07:03,297 --> 00:07:05,007
Gary had found his dream job,
101
00:07:05,007 --> 00:07:07,301
being such an avid outdoors man,
102
00:07:07,301 --> 00:07:11,806
he started to work for a startup
company called Map Nevada.
103
00:07:11,806 --> 00:07:13,808
Now what they do is,
104
00:07:13,808 --> 00:07:17,895
they map out really remote
locations for hunters.
105
00:07:17,895 --> 00:07:22,900
So they track wildlife, weather, terrain,
106
00:07:23,025 --> 00:07:26,863
and I mean, Gary was in heaven doing this.
107
00:07:26,863 --> 00:07:31,868
- He loved to be by himself
out in the wilderness,
108
00:07:34,620 --> 00:07:36,539
he loved hiking,
109
00:07:36,539 --> 00:07:40,334
and being adventurous,
110
00:07:41,419 --> 00:07:46,424
any train, he was drawn
to, he loved trains.
111
00:07:47,592 --> 00:07:50,595
(ballast clattering)
112
00:07:50,595 --> 00:07:54,599
- [Gary] Hey guys filming
another little YouTube video,
113
00:07:54,599 --> 00:07:57,351
at one of my favorite places.
114
00:07:57,351 --> 00:08:01,606
If I had more time I would
become one of the volunteers,
115
00:08:01,606 --> 00:08:06,569
but this is the Nevada Northern
Railway Museum, here in Ely.
116
00:08:06,569 --> 00:08:09,530
And it's kind of an old little copper mine
117
00:08:09,530 --> 00:08:11,824
just preserved and left.
118
00:08:11,824 --> 00:08:13,075
They do some cool stuff, though,
119
00:08:13,075 --> 00:08:17,788
like you can sleep in this
old caboose from Kennecott,
120
00:08:17,788 --> 00:08:20,291
the big copper mine in the area,
121
00:08:20,291 --> 00:08:21,959
right outside my home in Ruth.
122
00:08:23,294 --> 00:08:25,630
It's kind of a neat
little railroad museum,
123
00:08:25,630 --> 00:08:27,673
they just kind of let you walk around.
124
00:08:29,717 --> 00:08:33,179
And you know how much I love
trains on top of hiking,
125
00:08:33,179 --> 00:08:34,639
gotta do something in the winter time
126
00:08:34,639 --> 00:08:37,725
and you can't be outside as much.
127
00:08:37,725 --> 00:08:40,353
- So I was really excited
to take on this story,
128
00:08:40,353 --> 00:08:42,313
seeing that it was my first story.
129
00:08:42,313 --> 00:08:43,814
And it also took place
130
00:08:43,814 --> 00:08:46,234
in this tiny little town called Ruth.
131
00:08:46,234 --> 00:08:49,153
And so I grabbed the phone book,
and I just started calling.
132
00:08:49,153 --> 00:08:51,113
And I wanted to talk to
anybody and everybody
133
00:08:51,113 --> 00:08:52,198
that would talk to me.
134
00:08:54,450 --> 00:08:56,619
- I first knew something was off
135
00:08:56,619 --> 00:08:59,455
when he asked me to watch his dog Tuca
136
00:08:59,455 --> 00:09:02,708
before he went out on one of his trips.
137
00:09:02,708 --> 00:09:05,044
And he never leaves Tuca.
138
00:09:05,044 --> 00:09:07,213
He always takes the dog with him,
139
00:09:07,213 --> 00:09:09,173
so I thought that was kind of weird.
140
00:09:09,173 --> 00:09:11,384
And he was acting super stressed out
141
00:09:11,384 --> 00:09:14,178
even keeping to himself even more.
142
00:09:14,178 --> 00:09:17,974
When he didn't come back after two days,
143
00:09:19,517 --> 00:09:21,686
I thought that was really strange.
144
00:09:21,686 --> 00:09:23,062
I had a flight to catch,
145
00:09:23,062 --> 00:09:26,482
so I just called Beverly to get the dog.
146
00:09:26,482 --> 00:09:29,026
- After I got off the phone with Simon,
147
00:09:29,026 --> 00:09:32,196
I tried Gary, and there was no answer,
148
00:09:32,196 --> 00:09:36,284
so I hurried and left and
I went to Ruth from Panaca.
149
00:09:36,284 --> 00:09:40,329
And it's only a couple hours away,
150
00:09:40,329 --> 00:09:42,206
so when I got there,
151
00:09:42,206 --> 00:09:45,543
Simon and Tuca were
waiting on the front steps.
152
00:09:45,543 --> 00:09:48,212
Simon really needed to get
to the airport in Las Vegas,
153
00:09:48,212 --> 00:09:51,632
so I asked him where Gary had gone to,
154
00:09:53,217 --> 00:09:57,680
and Simon didn't know, his
roommate didn't even know,
155
00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:00,224
he just knew that he was on an expedition.
156
00:10:00,224 --> 00:10:01,559
To me that wasn't right,
157
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,769
so I tried Gary a couple of more times,
158
00:10:03,769 --> 00:10:05,479
and all it did was go to voicemail
159
00:10:05,479 --> 00:10:10,067
and something was definitely wrong.
160
00:10:10,067 --> 00:10:12,820
And so I called the police and waited.
161
00:10:14,447 --> 00:10:16,449
(mysterious music)
162
00:10:22,038 --> 00:10:23,748
- So I got Beverley's phone number,
163
00:10:23,748 --> 00:10:26,667
and this is the only time
that I ever talked to her.
164
00:10:26,667 --> 00:10:30,796
And she was pretty angry with me,
165
00:10:30,796 --> 00:10:32,923
once I told her that I was a reporter.
166
00:10:34,467 --> 00:10:36,469
And she did not want to
have anything to do with me
167
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:39,347
or our show, which I thought
was really unfortunate,
168
00:10:39,347 --> 00:10:41,766
because, the news stations,
169
00:10:41,766 --> 00:10:43,684
they had stopped recording on this,
170
00:10:43,684 --> 00:10:45,811
and we were the only ones doing anything,
171
00:10:45,811 --> 00:10:48,272
and I thought this is a way
to help find your brother,
172
00:10:48,272 --> 00:10:49,607
I don't understand why
173
00:10:49,607 --> 00:10:51,150
you don't want to give me the time or day,
174
00:10:51,150 --> 00:10:53,569
but she didn't, and she quickly hung up.
175
00:10:53,569 --> 00:10:56,489
And that was the only time
that I spoke to Beverly.
176
00:10:57,698 --> 00:11:01,869
- Gary became so obsessed
with survivalism,
177
00:11:01,869 --> 00:11:04,830
he would watch the Discovery Channel,
178
00:11:04,830 --> 00:11:07,708
he would watch YouTube,
179
00:11:07,708 --> 00:11:12,213
he would study it and find
the most remote places,
180
00:11:12,213 --> 00:11:16,384
no cell service, no provisions of any kind
181
00:11:16,384 --> 00:11:18,511
other than what he took.
182
00:11:18,511 --> 00:11:23,474
And it used to scare
the heavens out of me.
183
00:11:23,641 --> 00:11:26,185
I mean, I was petrified for him,
184
00:11:26,185 --> 00:11:27,895
and I would worry so much.
185
00:11:27,895 --> 00:11:30,189
But after a while,
186
00:11:31,816 --> 00:11:33,025
it was Gary.
187
00:11:34,652 --> 00:11:37,822
- [Gary] So guys, I'm here hiking around,
188
00:11:37,822 --> 00:11:41,117
and this is one of the cool secrets
189
00:11:41,117 --> 00:11:42,827
I have in the wilds in Nevada
190
00:11:42,827 --> 00:11:47,790
is this cemetery from the
late 1800s old mining camp,
191
00:11:49,542 --> 00:11:54,422
but I won't disclose the
name for safety reasons.
192
00:11:54,422 --> 00:11:56,132
Don't want anyone getting lost out here,
193
00:11:56,132 --> 00:12:01,137
but you can see all these
old graves, wood stones,
194
00:12:01,887 --> 00:12:04,974
unmarked graves with no names now.
195
00:12:06,517 --> 00:12:08,352
Give you an idea of
where I had to hike from
196
00:12:08,352 --> 00:12:11,689
is that mountain way over there
197
00:12:11,689 --> 00:12:14,942
is my truck's on the other side of it.
198
00:12:14,942 --> 00:12:17,695
So hiked over that mountain
199
00:12:17,695 --> 00:12:22,658
and I'm way out this
way now, hiking around.
200
00:12:22,658 --> 00:12:27,663
- I wouldn't say what
Gary was doing was hiking.
201
00:12:28,289 --> 00:12:33,252
These were multiple day,
like survival excursions.
202
00:12:35,296 --> 00:12:36,922
- In the beginning, what gave me hope
203
00:12:36,922 --> 00:12:41,927
was the fact that when
Gary was much younger,
204
00:12:43,596 --> 00:12:46,140
much, much younger, like second grade,
205
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:51,145
we all went camping, and Gary
disappeared from the campsite.
206
00:12:52,438 --> 00:12:56,066
And we searched for him
and searched for him,
207
00:12:56,066 --> 00:12:59,570
and we were all so worried, mom
and dad were just terrified,
208
00:12:59,570 --> 00:13:01,530
I was terrified.
209
00:13:01,530 --> 00:13:02,740
We didn't wanna leave the mountain
210
00:13:02,740 --> 00:13:04,700
to go and get cell service or anything,
211
00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:07,661
we just went looking for him.
212
00:13:07,661 --> 00:13:11,499
And we looked for him all night.
213
00:13:11,499 --> 00:13:16,462
And the next morning we came
up to a sheep herders camp,
214
00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:18,798
thinking, we're gonna tell them look,
215
00:13:18,798 --> 00:13:20,925
keep an eye out for this second grader,
216
00:13:20,925 --> 00:13:25,304
this second grader that was missing
217
00:13:25,304 --> 00:13:30,226
and we walk up and there
is my little brother Gary,
218
00:13:31,268 --> 00:13:33,938
playing with the animals.
219
00:13:33,938 --> 00:13:37,066
He'd known that if he got
to the sheep herders camp,
220
00:13:37,066 --> 00:13:37,900
he would be okay,
221
00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:40,528
that mom and dad would
come and look for him.
222
00:13:40,528 --> 00:13:45,533
And he was so resilient, it
was in him, second nature.
223
00:13:47,868 --> 00:13:49,954
- So after speaking to a
bunch of people in Ruth,
224
00:13:49,954 --> 00:13:53,040
I started to learn a little
bit more about Beverly
225
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,461
and Beverly's relationship
with Gary in the past.
226
00:13:57,461 --> 00:14:01,423
So she had a lot of anger towards Gary.
227
00:14:02,591 --> 00:14:06,637
She really blamed him
for their parents' death.
228
00:14:06,637 --> 00:14:09,348
And then when their parents did pass away,
229
00:14:09,348 --> 00:14:12,059
she was stuck, still raising Gary
230
00:14:12,059 --> 00:14:16,188
and so she held quite a lot
of resentment against him.
231
00:14:17,815 --> 00:14:21,110
- Well, I was mad at
Gary when mom dad died,
232
00:14:22,570 --> 00:14:24,321
they were out on a fishing trip
233
00:14:24,321 --> 00:14:27,449
and mom and dad liked to
do some night fishing.
234
00:14:28,325 --> 00:14:32,288
And so they went out
and did hang the lantern
235
00:14:32,288 --> 00:14:33,205
where they could see it,
236
00:14:33,205 --> 00:14:35,040
so they could get back to shore safely,
237
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,793
back to camp without hitting any rocks.
238
00:14:38,711 --> 00:14:39,795
Old Gary decided
239
00:14:39,795 --> 00:14:42,423
that he was gonna go
hunting frogs and everything
240
00:14:42,423 --> 00:14:45,426
and so, and he went exploring.
241
00:14:45,426 --> 00:14:48,721
And while he's out there
he hung the lantern up,
242
00:14:48,721 --> 00:14:51,265
so that he could see what he was doing.
243
00:14:51,265 --> 00:14:52,474
Meanwhile, mom and dad
244
00:14:52,474 --> 00:14:54,560
decided that they were gonna come back in
245
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,270
and call it a night.
246
00:14:56,270 --> 00:14:58,147
So they headed for the lantern.
247
00:14:59,231 --> 00:15:04,236
Not knowing that Gary had
moved it while he was exploring
248
00:15:05,404 --> 00:15:08,073
and so they followed the light.
249
00:15:08,073 --> 00:15:13,078
And, it was the wrong spot.
250
00:15:13,787 --> 00:15:18,500
They didn't make it back
because they hit the rocks,
251
00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:23,505
and had Gary not hang the
lantern up where he was at
252
00:15:24,131 --> 00:15:26,258
and left it where it needed to be,
253
00:15:28,135 --> 00:15:30,054
there wouldn't have been any problems.
254
00:15:33,098 --> 00:15:38,103
- I just felt super bad for Beverly.
255
00:15:42,107 --> 00:15:44,652
You know, I could just hear her
256
00:15:44,652 --> 00:15:48,030
inside Gary's room, sobbing.
257
00:15:50,491 --> 00:15:53,786
- You know, you're really
making me miss my brother, Gary.
258
00:15:55,913 --> 00:15:57,915
(sentimental music)
259
00:16:11,553 --> 00:16:14,807
- [Gal] Kept hearing people
refer to Gary as a hiker.
260
00:16:14,807 --> 00:16:18,560
And in my opinion, I don't
really think that's correct.
261
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,147
Because, to me, Gary's
more of a survivalist,
262
00:16:22,147 --> 00:16:27,152
he would go out into the
wilderness for a week or two on end
263
00:16:27,361 --> 00:16:29,196
with just a backpack.
264
00:16:29,196 --> 00:16:32,574
He's kind of like the
MacGyver of the wilderness,
265
00:16:32,574 --> 00:16:37,246
just to survive and live off of the land,
266
00:16:37,246 --> 00:16:39,748
and filter his on water.
267
00:16:39,748 --> 00:16:42,042
So, to hear them just be like,
268
00:16:42,042 --> 00:16:44,336
oh, he's just a hiker gone missing.
269
00:16:44,336 --> 00:16:45,462
He's not.
270
00:16:45,462 --> 00:16:47,548
- When Gary and I first
started living together,
271
00:16:47,548 --> 00:16:50,926
I actually went out with
him on one of these things.
272
00:16:50,926 --> 00:16:55,764
And I just kept telling myself
the entire time, never again.
273
00:16:56,807 --> 00:16:59,309
Gary wouldn't let us bring
enough food or water,
274
00:16:59,309 --> 00:17:02,521
and it was the most miserable experience.
275
00:17:02,521 --> 00:17:04,982
The one thing I did like about it
276
00:17:04,982 --> 00:17:08,861
was we kept on finding these 1800's
277
00:17:08,861 --> 00:17:11,697
abandoned mining kind of structures,
278
00:17:11,697 --> 00:17:12,740
which was super cool.
279
00:17:14,616 --> 00:17:18,037
- This wasn't a normal search and rescue.
280
00:17:18,037 --> 00:17:23,041
Because, Gary didn't tell
anybody where he was going
281
00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:25,044
on his excursion.
282
00:17:25,044 --> 00:17:27,838
And he would go really
deep into the wilderness,
283
00:17:27,838 --> 00:17:31,300
and he'd be gone for a week or so,
284
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:35,929
so no one had any idea
where to even start looking.
285
00:17:35,929 --> 00:17:40,517
And so police decided the best way,
286
00:17:40,517 --> 00:17:41,852
or the only thing they could think of
287
00:17:41,852 --> 00:17:44,938
was to maybe check his cell phone,
288
00:17:44,938 --> 00:17:48,317
and his cell phone pings in which tower.
289
00:17:48,317 --> 00:17:51,612
And it looked to be as he
had turned his cell phone off
290
00:17:51,612 --> 00:17:53,989
shortly after leaving his home.
291
00:17:54,948 --> 00:17:56,950
- When Beverly showed up to get the dog.
292
00:17:58,202 --> 00:18:02,122
Yeah, I regret that now, I
kind of lashed out at her.
293
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:07,127
- I was so put off when I got to town,
294
00:18:07,127 --> 00:18:11,340
and he was so antsy to get out of there.
295
00:18:11,340 --> 00:18:14,968
And, being my brother's roommate,
296
00:18:14,968 --> 00:18:17,304
not even asking where he was gonna be,
297
00:18:17,304 --> 00:18:19,890
or, if there was gonna,
298
00:18:19,890 --> 00:18:23,143
you know any issue that
might set up a red flag
299
00:18:23,143 --> 00:18:25,479
if he didn't come home.
300
00:18:25,479 --> 00:18:26,396
He had his dog and everything,
301
00:18:26,396 --> 00:18:28,941
and he knew he needed to be out of town.
302
00:18:29,942 --> 00:18:33,070
I just didn't,
303
00:18:33,070 --> 00:18:34,613
I didn't feel right about it,
304
00:18:34,613 --> 00:18:35,823
it just didn't feel right.
305
00:18:35,823 --> 00:18:39,201
And, a week or so before
that, Gary had confided in me
306
00:18:39,201 --> 00:18:42,287
that him and Simon weren't
getting along very well,
307
00:18:42,287 --> 00:18:45,415
and so he wanted to move out.
308
00:18:45,415 --> 00:18:49,753
And so I just,
309
00:18:49,753 --> 00:18:53,632
it just didn't feel right,
so I let the cops know.
310
00:18:53,632 --> 00:18:56,176
You know, I just don't trust him,
311
00:18:56,176 --> 00:19:00,681
there's just something to
not be concerned at all,
312
00:19:00,681 --> 00:19:02,724
where your roommate's gonna be.
313
00:19:02,724 --> 00:19:07,187
And more worried about getting on a plane,
314
00:19:07,187 --> 00:19:11,358
than somebody missing that's
supposed to be your friend,
315
00:19:11,358 --> 00:19:12,526
close to you?
316
00:19:13,902 --> 00:19:14,736
No.
317
00:19:16,405 --> 00:19:17,447
- We never talked about that,
318
00:19:17,447 --> 00:19:19,616
he never told me where
he went hiking, ever,
319
00:19:19,616 --> 00:19:21,160
he never mentioned it.
320
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,120
And even if we did talk about it,
321
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:27,374
I'm pretty sure he probably
wouldn't have told me, so.
322
00:19:27,374 --> 00:19:29,668
But at the beginning, I understood
323
00:19:29,668 --> 00:19:31,587
she needed someone to point the finger at
324
00:19:31,587 --> 00:19:35,048
and she was super upset, understandably.
325
00:19:35,048 --> 00:19:39,344
But after some time, it
just kind of got old,
326
00:19:39,344 --> 00:19:43,557
so I called her and I now told her that,
327
00:19:43,557 --> 00:19:46,977
there's no way I would have
known and just by the way,
328
00:19:46,977 --> 00:19:49,563
you're his sister, so why didn't you know?
329
00:19:50,898 --> 00:19:53,442
- When I first reported Gary missing,
330
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:55,485
the police were wonderful,
331
00:19:55,485 --> 00:20:00,115
they were really on top
of it, they did an APB,
332
00:20:00,115 --> 00:20:03,160
be on the lookout for his truck, himself,
333
00:20:03,994 --> 00:20:08,123
Park Rangers, Fish and Game, everything.
334
00:20:08,123 --> 00:20:09,541
You know, we live in a small town,
335
00:20:09,541 --> 00:20:11,627
people don't go missing all the time.
336
00:20:11,627 --> 00:20:14,004
And so this was a big deal,
337
00:20:14,004 --> 00:20:17,341
and they really took it seriously,
338
00:20:17,341 --> 00:20:19,343
they had it everywhere.
339
00:20:21,011 --> 00:20:23,055
I was embarrassed that I didn't know
340
00:20:23,055 --> 00:20:26,642
exactly where he was at,
you know, I'm his sister,
341
00:20:28,185 --> 00:20:29,394
I should have known.
342
00:20:33,357 --> 00:20:34,483
I should have known.
343
00:20:38,737 --> 00:20:40,739
(sentimental music)
344
00:20:58,048 --> 00:21:02,761
- [Simon] My first thought when
I heard he was missing was,
345
00:21:04,930 --> 00:21:08,976
oh, it'd be near impossible to find him.
346
00:21:10,852 --> 00:21:15,440
Either, he finally just injured himself,
347
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,402
or maybe he had eaten something
348
00:21:19,820 --> 00:21:22,489
that he didn't know was
gonna make him so sick.
349
00:21:26,952 --> 00:21:29,204
- It'd been two days since
I'd reported the missing
350
00:21:29,204 --> 00:21:33,417
and I hadn't slept more than
10 to 15 minutes at a time.
351
00:21:35,168 --> 00:21:38,588
I had people calling and were so concerned
352
00:21:38,588 --> 00:21:41,091
and wanted to know where
to start looking for him.
353
00:21:42,134 --> 00:21:44,219
But not knowing where he was at,
354
00:21:44,219 --> 00:21:46,221
where would I have them look?
355
00:21:48,181 --> 00:21:52,352
And then the phone call came,
they'd found Gary's truck.
356
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,522
(ominous music)
357
00:22:14,666 --> 00:22:17,461
(thunder roaring)
358
00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:25,927
And I got such a sinking feeling,
359
00:22:25,927 --> 00:22:28,263
such a sick to my stomach feeling
360
00:22:28,263 --> 00:22:32,642
that this was now very real.
361
00:22:32,642 --> 00:22:35,312
(thunder roars)
362
00:22:39,733 --> 00:22:41,943
After the cops called in,
363
00:22:42,819 --> 00:22:44,154
and let me know that
they'd found this truck,
364
00:22:44,154 --> 00:22:47,115
they came and picked me
up and took me to it.
365
00:22:47,115 --> 00:22:50,535
It was about 55 miles out of town,
366
00:22:50,535 --> 00:22:53,914
and we got there and seeing his truck,
367
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,293
I was so hopeful, you know, thinking,
368
00:22:59,753 --> 00:23:01,963
he probably fell,
369
00:23:01,963 --> 00:23:04,466
maybe broke an ankle, stuck in a ravine,
370
00:23:04,466 --> 00:23:05,717
can't get himself out.
371
00:23:05,717 --> 00:23:08,720
But I had hope.
372
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,225
I really had hope that we
were gonna find him okay.
373
00:23:13,225 --> 00:23:16,561
- It just wasn't in a place
where Gary would have left it.
374
00:23:17,521 --> 00:23:19,564
Like it wasn't in a spot where he wanted,
375
00:23:19,564 --> 00:23:21,733
which he would wanna go to explore.
376
00:23:24,111 --> 00:23:25,737
- While I was sitting there,
377
00:23:25,737 --> 00:23:28,949
watching them process Gary's
truck, I was looking around,
378
00:23:31,952 --> 00:23:34,788
this wasn't Gary,
379
00:23:35,705 --> 00:23:40,710
he loved to explore vast
forests, rocky hills,
380
00:23:43,088 --> 00:23:48,093
beauty, not just a rolling hill of dirt.
381
00:23:49,010 --> 00:23:53,682
It just, something wasn't right.
382
00:23:53,682 --> 00:23:56,434
(gunshot blasts)
383
00:24:02,149 --> 00:24:04,901
(gunshot blasts)
384
00:24:06,862 --> 00:24:09,823
(car engine roaring)
385
00:24:09,823 --> 00:24:11,825
- I'm a private investigator.
386
00:24:11,825 --> 00:24:15,579
I was hired by Beverly shortly
after Gary's truck was found.
387
00:24:17,664 --> 00:24:20,417
The High Desert as you can see,
388
00:24:24,629 --> 00:24:26,548
it's very beautiful,
389
00:24:26,548 --> 00:24:31,553
it's very majestic, has mountains,
valleys, plains, forests,
390
00:24:32,304 --> 00:24:34,055
it has it all.
391
00:24:34,055 --> 00:24:37,559
But it's also quite dangerous
and very unforgiving.
392
00:24:37,559 --> 00:24:40,145
- So after Gary's truck was found,
393
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,317
a search began and people really rallied.
394
00:24:45,859 --> 00:24:47,861
(upbeat music)
395
00:24:48,820 --> 00:24:49,738
- [Bill] Gary went missing
396
00:24:49,738 --> 00:24:52,240
in the hottest part of the summer.
397
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,952
And what we see most of the
time in disappearance like his
398
00:24:55,952 --> 00:25:00,790
is people suffering from heatstroke,
399
00:25:00,790 --> 00:25:04,336
dehydration, sometimes even injury.
400
00:25:06,796 --> 00:25:08,298
- [Beverly] People started showing up
401
00:25:08,298 --> 00:25:11,176
and then more people started showing up,
402
00:25:11,176 --> 00:25:14,262
and next thing I know,
it's a whole whirlwind,
403
00:25:14,262 --> 00:25:18,892
there were people there
that I didn't know,
404
00:25:20,352 --> 00:25:22,020
that Gary didn't know,
405
00:25:22,020 --> 00:25:24,940
there were people bringing drones,
406
00:25:24,940 --> 00:25:26,691
all kinds of search and rescue.
407
00:25:26,691 --> 00:25:30,028
It was the most humbling experience
408
00:25:30,028 --> 00:25:35,033
to know that these strangers
were out there helping
409
00:25:35,242 --> 00:25:39,204
to try to find my brother
and bring him home.
410
00:25:40,956 --> 00:25:42,958
(intense music)
411
00:25:52,008 --> 00:25:55,845
- So once Gary's truck
was found, Beverly was,
412
00:25:57,264 --> 00:25:59,057
let's just say she was very vocal
413
00:25:59,057 --> 00:26:02,560
about how the truck seemed to be parked
414
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,271
in a suspicious location,
415
00:26:04,271 --> 00:26:05,605
like she was just convinced
416
00:26:05,605 --> 00:26:08,191
that her brother had not parked it there,
417
00:26:08,191 --> 00:26:09,985
her brother wouldn't park it there,
418
00:26:09,985 --> 00:26:12,779
and she would not stop talking about it.
419
00:26:13,738 --> 00:26:17,951
So the cops eventually looked into this.
420
00:26:17,951 --> 00:26:19,661
- The clock was ticking.
421
00:26:19,661 --> 00:26:22,956
They very much needed to find
Gary as soon as possible.
422
00:26:23,832 --> 00:26:27,877
Beverly, on the other hand,
was very much in their way.
423
00:26:27,877 --> 00:26:32,882
She was in the way, and she
was really messing things up.
424
00:26:33,508 --> 00:26:36,094
- Searching the high desert isn't easy,
425
00:26:36,094 --> 00:26:37,429
I mean, it's not an easy task.
426
00:26:37,429 --> 00:26:38,346
People think it is,
427
00:26:38,346 --> 00:26:40,932
people think you can just get
up in the air in a helicopter
428
00:26:40,932 --> 00:26:45,937
and fly around and look at
the ground and see someone,
429
00:26:46,563 --> 00:26:51,151
but once you're on the ground,
there's abandoned mines,
430
00:26:51,151 --> 00:26:53,653
there's bushes and tree cover.
431
00:26:53,653 --> 00:26:56,239
And it's super difficult.
432
00:26:56,239 --> 00:27:00,118
So finding someone, it's not
easy as people think it is.
433
00:27:01,494 --> 00:27:03,246
- [Gary] Oh my god, sheep.
434
00:27:03,246 --> 00:27:04,080
(sheep bleating)
435
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,624
Hi sheep.
436
00:27:05,624 --> 00:27:06,708
Look at all the sheep.
437
00:27:07,667 --> 00:27:09,377
Sheep are a lot nicer than people.
438
00:27:10,962 --> 00:27:11,796
(sheep bleating)
439
00:27:11,796 --> 00:27:13,131
(feet rustling)
440
00:27:13,131 --> 00:27:14,090
Hey little sheep,
441
00:27:15,675 --> 00:27:16,718
look at all you guys.
442
00:27:17,886 --> 00:27:19,846
(sheep bleating)
443
00:27:19,846 --> 00:27:23,933
Roaming the land, doing
what you need to do.
444
00:27:23,933 --> 00:27:26,770
(ground rustling)
445
00:27:28,605 --> 00:27:30,690
Jeez, they all ran away from me.
446
00:27:30,690 --> 00:27:32,484
Can't even make friends with sheep.
447
00:27:32,484 --> 00:27:35,904
(sheep bleating)
448
00:27:35,904 --> 00:27:40,200
- The officers didn't want me
to participate in the search.
449
00:27:42,994 --> 00:27:46,915
They thought it was best that
I stay home at Gary's place
450
00:27:46,915 --> 00:27:51,920
in case he tried to contact
me, call or show up.
451
00:27:52,879 --> 00:27:56,174
- I was very much familiar
with the lead investigator.
452
00:27:56,174 --> 00:27:57,967
We had worked together before,
453
00:27:57,967 --> 00:28:00,387
and we were definitely
familiar with each other.
454
00:28:01,638 --> 00:28:04,140
I called him to kind of check up on things
455
00:28:04,140 --> 00:28:08,019
and see where the
investigation was headed,
456
00:28:08,019 --> 00:28:10,772
and if they had any new information.
457
00:28:10,772 --> 00:28:13,733
He told me that they had made
a discovery in the truck.
458
00:28:14,234 --> 00:28:16,236
(ominous music)
459
00:28:23,827 --> 00:28:27,330
But since I was not
formally hired by Beverley,
460
00:28:27,330 --> 00:28:30,041
I had to contact her first
461
00:28:30,041 --> 00:28:32,544
before they would discuss
the matter with me.
462
00:28:34,170 --> 00:28:38,383
- I was hopeful that they had good news,
463
00:28:40,343 --> 00:28:45,348
that the officer asked me
if Gary had any enemies,
464
00:28:45,890 --> 00:28:50,019
or if I knew anybody
that may wanna hurt him.
465
00:28:52,605 --> 00:28:54,649
I asked the officer why,
466
00:28:56,192 --> 00:28:57,152
why would he,
467
00:28:58,027 --> 00:28:59,237
why would he ask that.
468
00:28:59,237 --> 00:29:04,242
And in confidence, they told
me that they had evidence
469
00:29:07,829 --> 00:29:12,709
that Gary did not drive
his truck out there.
470
00:29:14,586 --> 00:29:16,588
(droning music)
471
00:29:27,056 --> 00:29:28,683
- So I waited a couple of hours
472
00:29:28,683 --> 00:29:31,728
and went over to Gary's house
where Beverly was staying,
473
00:29:31,728 --> 00:29:34,606
and she was absolutely hysterical.
474
00:29:34,606 --> 00:29:37,400
She told me that the
police had informed her
475
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,988
that in Gary's truck they
had discovered prints
476
00:29:42,864 --> 00:29:47,869
on top of Gary's all over,
on top of the steering wheel,
477
00:29:47,994 --> 00:29:50,705
the dashboard, the gear
478
00:29:50,705 --> 00:29:55,710
and what was most surprising or alarming
479
00:29:56,002 --> 00:30:01,007
was that they discovered
footprints, bare footprints,
480
00:30:01,674 --> 00:30:06,679
and they were scarred and unidentifiable,
481
00:30:07,806 --> 00:30:10,517
which even added more to the mystery.
482
00:30:12,185 --> 00:30:14,187
(mystery music)
483
00:30:18,358 --> 00:30:19,776
- The footprint was,
484
00:30:22,445 --> 00:30:26,491
he said that it was barefoot.
485
00:30:35,166 --> 00:30:40,088
- So someone drove Gary's truck barefoot.
486
00:30:41,631 --> 00:30:44,133
And it just doesn't sit well with me,
487
00:30:44,133 --> 00:30:46,553
because it's like, what happened?
488
00:30:46,553 --> 00:30:49,138
Why was this person not wearing shoes?
489
00:30:50,723 --> 00:30:51,933
What was going on?
490
00:30:51,933 --> 00:30:54,060
Like, it's just odd,
491
00:30:54,060 --> 00:30:56,396
and it's very,
492
00:30:56,396 --> 00:30:59,190
I don't know, it's just,
493
00:31:00,233 --> 00:31:01,943
it made my skin crawl.
494
00:31:01,943 --> 00:31:03,820
(feet rustling)
495
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:06,281
- [Gary] Oh, look at the little baby deer.
496
00:31:06,281 --> 00:31:09,158
That's kind of cool to see,
you don't see that too often.
497
00:31:21,713 --> 00:31:24,966
(train engine roaring)
498
00:31:30,054 --> 00:31:33,141
(train hooting)
499
00:31:33,141 --> 00:31:36,394
(train engine roaring)
500
00:31:42,817 --> 00:31:46,362
- You know, I hadn't been
sleeping and everything,
501
00:31:46,362 --> 00:31:49,157
and my mind was just reeling,
502
00:31:50,658 --> 00:31:52,327
I had a lot of things
going through my head,
503
00:31:52,327 --> 00:31:53,745
different scenarios.
504
00:31:55,163 --> 00:31:57,123
Maybe he picked up a friend?
505
00:31:58,916 --> 00:32:02,170
Maybe somebody stole his
truck while he was out hiking?
506
00:32:03,129 --> 00:32:06,633
Or maybe he picked up a hitchhiker,
507
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:11,638
and the hitchhiker had
done something to him.
508
00:32:16,184 --> 00:32:17,477
I don't know, at this point,
509
00:32:17,477 --> 00:32:20,063
so many things were just
going through my head,
510
00:32:20,063 --> 00:32:24,192
just over and over again,
511
00:32:24,192 --> 00:32:28,780
which didn't help me try to get any sleep.
512
00:32:28,780 --> 00:32:33,785
(train engine roaring)
(train hooting)
513
00:32:39,832 --> 00:32:43,419
- So Beverly, still
wanted me to vet out Simon
514
00:32:43,419 --> 00:32:47,298
because she still thought
he was very suspicious.
515
00:32:47,298 --> 00:32:48,508
And I did too.
516
00:32:48,508 --> 00:32:49,550
I looked into him again,
517
00:32:49,550 --> 00:32:54,138
and lo and behold, he was
ruled out as a suspect.
518
00:32:55,390 --> 00:32:57,225
But through that process,
519
00:32:57,225 --> 00:33:01,062
I actually learned that
Gary had been talking
520
00:33:01,062 --> 00:33:03,898
to someone that he met on
a Facebook Messenger group.
521
00:33:05,191 --> 00:33:07,402
They had been corresponding
with each other
522
00:33:07,402 --> 00:33:09,946
through a local sellers group,
523
00:33:09,946 --> 00:33:13,324
and I guess they had been
commenting on each other's posts
524
00:33:13,324 --> 00:33:14,492
and one thing led to another
525
00:33:14,492 --> 00:33:18,204
and they became more than friends.
526
00:33:19,288 --> 00:33:24,252
When I confronted this person,
he was very much terrified,
527
00:33:24,627 --> 00:33:25,712
didn't wanna talk to me,
528
00:33:25,712 --> 00:33:27,088
didn't wanna have anything to do with me
529
00:33:27,088 --> 00:33:28,089
or the investigation.
530
00:33:28,089 --> 00:33:29,841
And I told him, if you don't talk to me,
531
00:33:29,841 --> 00:33:31,467
you're gonna have to talk to the cops,
532
00:33:31,467 --> 00:33:33,469
and they're gonna really bust your ass.
533
00:33:33,469 --> 00:33:35,304
And I think he was terrified
534
00:33:35,304 --> 00:33:37,015
of being outed in this community,
535
00:33:38,224 --> 00:33:42,937
because it's such a small
town, not a lot of gay people.
536
00:33:43,813 --> 00:33:46,858
And so he did talk to me, he told me that,
537
00:33:46,858 --> 00:33:49,986
he didn't have anything to
do with Gary's disappearance.
538
00:33:49,986 --> 00:33:54,532
He was sad and upset that
Gary had disappeared,
539
00:33:54,532 --> 00:33:57,076
he didn't know what happened to him.
540
00:33:57,076 --> 00:33:58,536
I guess I did believe him.
541
00:33:59,746 --> 00:34:01,581
He really didn't wanna discuss it,
542
00:34:01,581 --> 00:34:04,375
but ultimately, when I
did check out his alibi,
543
00:34:04,375 --> 00:34:07,211
he was cleared as a suspect.
544
00:34:07,211 --> 00:34:08,504
(sheep bleating)
545
00:34:08,504 --> 00:34:11,340
(ground rustling)
546
00:34:12,717 --> 00:34:15,636
- Hey guys, now that I'm
done chasing sheep around
547
00:34:15,636 --> 00:34:17,722
like a crazy person in the mountains.
548
00:34:18,765 --> 00:34:21,225
I've seen a lot out here, mining camps,
549
00:34:21,225 --> 00:34:26,230
mines, abandoned towns,
buildings, remnants of the past,
550
00:34:26,689 --> 00:34:29,233
but the coolest and my
favorite personally,
551
00:34:29,233 --> 00:34:31,736
is all the Native American remnants,
552
00:34:31,736 --> 00:34:33,404
I love finding arrowheads
553
00:34:33,404 --> 00:34:36,741
and seeing petroglyphs on mountain sides.
554
00:34:36,741 --> 00:34:39,535
Just old writing from the native people
555
00:34:39,535 --> 00:34:43,122
who lived here long before
any settlers moved in.
556
00:34:43,122 --> 00:34:45,249
To me, that's the coolest stuff to see.
557
00:34:45,249 --> 00:34:47,502
But it's getting dark
now, the sun's setting
558
00:34:47,502 --> 00:34:50,421
I think I'm gonna call it
a night and get settled in,
559
00:34:50,421 --> 00:34:51,380
in my camp.
560
00:34:51,380 --> 00:34:53,257
(ground rustling)
561
00:34:53,257 --> 00:34:56,636
- They were still processing
the crime scene and everything
562
00:34:56,636 --> 00:35:01,641
and they came across an
envelope in his center console,
563
00:35:02,767 --> 00:35:04,769
it had a (muffled speaking) money in it.
564
00:35:05,937 --> 00:35:10,942
To me that said that whoever he was with,
565
00:35:11,567 --> 00:35:15,154
wasn't there to take his money
566
00:35:15,154 --> 00:35:17,782
or anything that he might have had.
567
00:35:21,244 --> 00:35:23,246
(sentimental music)
568
00:35:35,675 --> 00:35:39,846
I woke to the police
officers knocking on my door.
569
00:35:43,891 --> 00:35:46,978
And they were informing me that
they called off the search.
570
00:35:48,229 --> 00:35:50,690
And while they're explaining things to me,
571
00:35:52,024 --> 00:35:53,401
I'm seeing them talking,
572
00:35:56,362 --> 00:35:58,155
I'm not comprehending any of the it,
573
00:36:01,117 --> 00:36:03,286
everything was just kind of flashing.
574
00:36:03,286 --> 00:36:07,874
And, I'm seeing their faces,
and I'm seeing their lips move,
575
00:36:07,874 --> 00:36:10,751
and then they're looking
at me like I'm crazy.
576
00:36:11,878 --> 00:36:15,631
And next thing I know, I'm on a stretcher.
577
00:36:15,631 --> 00:36:20,595
(heart throbbing)
(beep sounds)
578
00:36:22,972 --> 00:36:27,977
And taken to the ER where
they had to give me hydration
579
00:36:29,228 --> 00:36:34,233
and IV with fluids and
medicine that helped me sleep,
580
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,781
and for the first time
since all of this started,
581
00:36:41,699 --> 00:36:43,784
I got 10 hours of sleep.
582
00:36:44,660 --> 00:36:47,455
- This was the largest search and rescue
583
00:36:47,455 --> 00:36:49,582
that Nevada had ever seen.
584
00:36:49,582 --> 00:36:53,586
And when they finally called it off,
585
00:36:53,586 --> 00:36:55,963
everyone was just so shocked.
586
00:36:55,963 --> 00:36:59,842
But, you mean, you can't search
the entire state of Nevada,
587
00:36:59,842 --> 00:37:02,178
it's just too vast, it's too broad,
588
00:37:02,178 --> 00:37:07,141
and it had been so long that
the chances of finding him
589
00:37:07,141 --> 00:37:11,270
and finding him alive were slim to none.
590
00:37:11,270 --> 00:37:13,564
- The investigation was dead in the water,
591
00:37:13,564 --> 00:37:15,566
we didn't have any leads,
592
00:37:15,566 --> 00:37:18,569
the fingerprints in the truck
didn't match any database,
593
00:37:18,569 --> 00:37:20,821
so we didn't know what to do.
594
00:37:20,821 --> 00:37:21,656
But then.
595
00:37:22,698 --> 00:37:24,700
(intense music)
596
00:37:28,913 --> 00:37:30,665
Gary's followers started calling.
597
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,297
And this whole thing
was turned on its head.
598
00:37:40,758 --> 00:37:42,051
- So I'm at my desk,
599
00:37:42,051 --> 00:37:44,136
and I'm going through the show notes,
600
00:37:44,136 --> 00:37:45,471
I'm getting ready to go on air
601
00:37:45,471 --> 00:37:47,598
and my producer comes through
my door, and he's like,
602
00:37:47,598 --> 00:37:50,935
you have a phone call, you
have to take this phone call.
603
00:37:50,935 --> 00:37:54,772
And I get on the phone, and
it's one of our listeners.
604
00:37:54,772 --> 00:37:59,318
And he's telling me that I
have to look into Gary's blog.
605
00:37:59,318 --> 00:38:03,781
He's going on and on about
this crazy story about Gary,
606
00:38:03,781 --> 00:38:08,035
and he's telling me that he
thinks he knows where he is,
607
00:38:08,035 --> 00:38:11,247
he thinks he knows what happened to him.
608
00:38:11,247 --> 00:38:15,710
And that I have to go and
look at this blog right now.
609
00:38:16,877 --> 00:38:18,337
- My friend Monica calls me
610
00:38:18,337 --> 00:38:21,507
and tells me that it's all over the news
611
00:38:21,507 --> 00:38:26,512
that all these people are
calling into the radio station.
612
00:38:26,887 --> 00:38:31,100
And she tells me that they're
talking about Gary's blog
613
00:38:31,100 --> 00:38:33,978
and the fact that it needs to be read
614
00:38:33,978 --> 00:38:35,938
and that there's comments and everything.
615
00:38:35,938 --> 00:38:40,151
And so once I got discharged,
616
00:38:40,151 --> 00:38:41,652
I went straight to Gary's house,
617
00:38:41,652 --> 00:38:45,156
so I could read the blog
and see what all this was
618
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:47,158
that they were talking about.
619
00:38:47,158 --> 00:38:49,702
- Unfortunately, Beverly
found out about Gary's blog
620
00:38:49,702 --> 00:38:53,247
hours before we did, and
she went right over there,
621
00:38:53,247 --> 00:38:55,416
and really messed things up.
622
00:38:55,416 --> 00:38:57,960
- Hey guys, it's me again.
623
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,795
A lot of people have
been following the blog
624
00:38:59,795 --> 00:39:01,672
and new to the blog and been saying,
625
00:39:01,672 --> 00:39:04,759
I'm just trying to copy
"Naked and Afraid".
626
00:39:04,759 --> 00:39:08,346
And as you can tell, I'm not
naked or afraid out here,
627
00:39:08,346 --> 00:39:10,514
so I'm not trying to copy the show and,
628
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,852
also my ex loved that
show, so I'm sick of it,
629
00:39:14,852 --> 00:39:17,646
there's a reason why
people are called exes.
630
00:39:17,646 --> 00:39:20,358
- So while I'm trying to
navigate through everything
631
00:39:20,358 --> 00:39:22,401
on his blog,
632
00:39:22,401 --> 00:39:24,779
going through the operator
stuff and everything
633
00:39:24,779 --> 00:39:31,160
and I finally get in there
and I realize he has 50,000,
634
00:39:32,703 --> 00:39:34,371
50,000 viewers.
635
00:39:37,124 --> 00:39:39,043
I was shocked.
636
00:39:39,043 --> 00:39:42,630
- Not a single person in Gary's
life knew about his blog,
637
00:39:42,630 --> 00:39:44,048
which was really shocking
638
00:39:44,048 --> 00:39:47,009
considering the fact that
he had 50,000 followers.
639
00:39:48,928 --> 00:39:51,430
That really says something,
if you think about it.
640
00:39:55,810 --> 00:39:59,313
- Of course, I immediately
jump on my computer
641
00:39:59,313 --> 00:40:03,818
and I go to his blog, and
I'll never forget the title,
642
00:40:03,818 --> 00:40:05,653
because I actually thought
it was really clever.
643
00:40:05,653 --> 00:40:09,281
It was called "Don't
Hike With Headphones".
644
00:40:09,281 --> 00:40:11,325
- Hey guys up here at
the top of the mountain,
645
00:40:11,325 --> 00:40:15,371
as you can see, there's
the great view behind me.
646
00:40:16,664 --> 00:40:19,959
One of the questions I've got
asked on the blog a lot was,
647
00:40:19,959 --> 00:40:21,919
what dangers (muffled speaking),
648
00:40:21,919 --> 00:40:24,004
are there any threatening animals
649
00:40:24,004 --> 00:40:25,840
like rattlesnakes and mountain lions?
650
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,635
And, yeah, there're rattlesnakes
at the lower elevations,
651
00:40:29,635 --> 00:40:31,887
you might have noticed I
don't hike with headphones
652
00:40:31,887 --> 00:40:34,431
or anything on so I can listen for them.
653
00:40:34,431 --> 00:40:37,852
- And it's your basic,
survivalist type blog,
654
00:40:37,852 --> 00:40:41,230
you know, how to build a
fire, how to filter water,
655
00:40:41,230 --> 00:40:43,107
and I just start scrolling through
656
00:40:43,107 --> 00:40:45,067
and I scroll and scroll
all the way to the,
657
00:40:45,067 --> 00:40:47,862
like the latest videos that he had posted.
658
00:40:47,862 --> 00:40:49,405
- I'm trying to navigate
659
00:40:49,405 --> 00:40:52,616
to find out where these
notifications are coming from
660
00:40:52,616 --> 00:40:56,078
because he is getting
notification after notification,
661
00:40:56,078 --> 00:40:59,540
I mean, it's ding, ding, ding, ding.
662
00:40:59,540 --> 00:41:02,835
- So I was driving when I
found out Gary had a blog,
663
00:41:02,835 --> 00:41:06,797
I pulled over and looked
for it on my phone.
664
00:41:06,797 --> 00:41:09,008
And the first thing that I noticed
665
00:41:09,008 --> 00:41:10,801
was that he didn't go by his real name,
666
00:41:10,801 --> 00:41:13,262
he went by Scorpion Sam.
667
00:41:13,262 --> 00:41:15,514
- My biggest thing I've ever ran into
668
00:41:15,514 --> 00:41:18,100
was I got stung by a scorpion,
669
00:41:18,100 --> 00:41:20,603
kicking over a rock once,
670
00:41:20,603 --> 00:41:25,191
had to go to the hospital
once I got back to my truck,
671
00:41:25,191 --> 00:41:27,776
that was the day I hiked
with a swelling up hand.
672
00:41:29,403 --> 00:41:32,156
- I'm finally able to
get to the notifications
673
00:41:32,156 --> 00:41:34,408
and this notification pops up
674
00:41:34,408 --> 00:41:37,870
and they're saying, I bet he found it,
675
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:42,625
and that something bad happened,
676
00:41:42,625 --> 00:41:47,630
and I'm thinking, they're
saying he found it?
677
00:41:48,297 --> 00:41:50,007
And something bad happened?
678
00:41:50,007 --> 00:41:51,383
Found what?
679
00:41:52,343 --> 00:41:55,846
- And then came Gary's
now infamous video post.
680
00:41:57,056 --> 00:42:00,309
I have worked a lot of
strange cases in my career,
681
00:42:00,309 --> 00:42:05,022
and Gary's by far was the most unusual,
682
00:42:05,940 --> 00:42:08,859
just the way that he described
what he was looking at,
683
00:42:08,859 --> 00:42:12,988
what he saw, how terrified he was,
684
00:42:12,988 --> 00:42:17,993
it just really scares me.
685
00:42:20,955 --> 00:42:24,667
- So I started watching
the second to last video
686
00:42:24,667 --> 00:42:25,918
on Gary's blog.
687
00:42:25,918 --> 00:42:28,671
And he's at his home
and he's sitting there
688
00:42:28,671 --> 00:42:31,090
and he's telling his viewers
689
00:42:33,550 --> 00:42:37,304
basically what he came across
on his last expedition.
690
00:42:37,304 --> 00:42:39,974
- I saw his last three videos
691
00:42:39,974 --> 00:42:40,849
and,
692
00:42:43,644 --> 00:42:44,812
what I saw,
693
00:42:47,898 --> 00:42:50,568
changed everything.
694
00:42:52,236 --> 00:42:54,238
(ominous music)
695
00:43:00,661 --> 00:43:03,372
- He's pretty worked up in this video,
696
00:43:03,372 --> 00:43:06,542
you can tell he's nervous, he's scared.
697
00:43:06,542 --> 00:43:08,711
- As soon as his video started,
698
00:43:11,171 --> 00:43:15,884
I could tell he was troubled by something,
699
00:43:15,884 --> 00:43:18,470
something had him so unnerved.
700
00:43:19,847 --> 00:43:22,850
He was three days into his expedition,
701
00:43:22,850 --> 00:43:27,271
and he started to smell smoke and that,
702
00:43:27,271 --> 00:43:29,356
and he was out in the middle of nowhere.
703
00:43:29,356 --> 00:43:34,278
So he got curious and
started to look around.
704
00:43:35,154 --> 00:43:36,989
- He comes across this cabin,
705
00:43:36,989 --> 00:43:40,951
and it's not like a nice cabin,
it's like a makeshift cabin,
706
00:43:40,951 --> 00:43:45,956
almost kind of like a
homeless type of structure,
707
00:43:46,165 --> 00:43:47,499
sticks and twigs,
708
00:43:47,499 --> 00:43:50,878
and there's smoke coming
out of the chimney.
709
00:43:52,212 --> 00:43:56,759
And Gary's not someone to
be scared of someone else,
710
00:43:56,759 --> 00:43:57,760
out in the wilderness,
711
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:02,765
but he said he was just
like frozen in his tracks,
712
00:44:03,265 --> 00:44:06,977
and he just felt this like sixth sense
713
00:44:06,977 --> 00:44:10,105
of basically impending doom.
714
00:44:10,981 --> 00:44:15,819
- It was the look on his
face, that really got to me,
715
00:44:15,819 --> 00:44:19,114
when he described this
cabin out in Nevada.
716
00:44:21,742 --> 00:44:25,329
- He said that the longer
he stood and looked at it
717
00:44:27,373 --> 00:44:31,627
the more spooked that he
got the feeling of dread,
718
00:44:31,627 --> 00:44:34,963
the sixth sense that he
needed to get out of there.
719
00:44:34,963 --> 00:44:38,842
- And he wanted nothing
to do with that place.
720
00:44:38,842 --> 00:44:42,346
And so, he hightails it out of there
721
00:44:42,346 --> 00:44:46,517
and he goes to sleep in his tent,
722
00:44:46,517 --> 00:44:51,105
I remember this because he talks
about how he was so scared,
723
00:44:51,105 --> 00:44:54,024
he slept with his shoes on all night.
724
00:44:54,024 --> 00:44:55,567
You know, he didn't bring his firearms,
725
00:44:55,567 --> 00:45:00,572
so he was totally just vulnerable
out there and terrified.
726
00:45:02,783 --> 00:45:07,788
And he wakes up the next
morning, and there's footprints,
727
00:45:08,205 --> 00:45:11,250
and they're barefoot footprints.
728
00:45:11,250 --> 00:45:13,460
- These two things are now connected,
729
00:45:13,460 --> 00:45:14,753
we had something to go on.
730
00:45:16,338 --> 00:45:18,340
(ominous music)
731
00:45:24,930 --> 00:45:26,890
- [Beverly] The hike back to his track,
732
00:45:26,890 --> 00:45:28,767
which took three days,
733
00:45:28,767 --> 00:45:32,187
he felt like somebody was following him.
734
00:45:32,563 --> 00:45:34,565
(ominous music)
735
00:45:35,149 --> 00:45:38,986
- So this was a really sad story to me,
736
00:45:38,986 --> 00:45:42,156
to see Gary's followers turn on him,
737
00:45:42,156 --> 00:45:44,908
that blog was everything to him.
738
00:45:44,908 --> 00:45:49,913
He really admired them,
and their comments,
739
00:45:52,499 --> 00:45:54,835
it was something really special to him.
740
00:45:54,835 --> 00:45:59,840
And to see them go from
loving him to bullying him,
741
00:46:00,507 --> 00:46:03,635
calling him a loser, a liar,
742
00:46:03,635 --> 00:46:07,556
and putting him down, it
was really sad to see.
743
00:46:09,892 --> 00:46:12,227
- And the comments are like,
744
00:46:12,227 --> 00:46:15,898
everyone's kind of just
like, well, go back,
745
00:46:16,732 --> 00:46:18,400
take video, show us this place,
746
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,195
does this place even
exist, is this even real?
747
00:46:21,195 --> 00:46:23,822
And he's getting like
really hit by his followers,
748
00:46:23,822 --> 00:46:26,784
basically, they're kind of bullying him,
749
00:46:27,659 --> 00:46:30,329
they don't believe that
he came across this,
750
00:46:30,329 --> 00:46:33,832
they go to his blog for a reason,
751
00:46:33,832 --> 00:46:35,667
and now they feel like he's just
752
00:46:35,667 --> 00:46:38,587
getting into ghost stories or something.
753
00:46:38,587 --> 00:46:39,421
And so they,
754
00:46:40,464 --> 00:46:45,260
I really feel like he fell
into a bit of cyber bullying
755
00:46:45,260 --> 00:46:50,140
and the fact that they were not gonna be
756
00:46:50,140 --> 00:46:51,850
his faithful followers anymore,
757
00:46:51,850 --> 00:46:56,480
unless he goes back and
proves that he saw this,
758
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,398
he experienced this.
759
00:46:58,398 --> 00:47:01,068
(air whooshing)
760
00:47:04,071 --> 00:47:07,616
- You know, it broke my
heart to read the comments
761
00:47:07,616 --> 00:47:12,621
that said that he was
nothing but a lonely loser,
762
00:47:12,829 --> 00:47:16,416
and that all he was doing
763
00:47:16,416 --> 00:47:20,712
was trying to get
attention by making shit up
764
00:47:20,712 --> 00:47:23,799
and that they didn't believe him.
765
00:47:25,592 --> 00:47:27,761
- I actually didn't know about the blog,
766
00:47:28,595 --> 00:47:31,348
but I knew he was doing something
767
00:47:31,348 --> 00:47:36,228
because he was always in
the backyard making videos,
768
00:47:36,228 --> 00:47:38,438
telling the camera how to make a campfire,
769
00:47:39,898 --> 00:47:41,608
or I always heard him in his room
770
00:47:41,608 --> 00:47:43,694
like giving survival tips and things.
771
00:47:44,528 --> 00:47:47,239
- [Gary] Hey, guys, just
walking through the woods here.
772
00:47:48,115 --> 00:47:50,742
It's a beautiful day in
the backwoods in Nevada.
773
00:47:50,742 --> 00:47:52,661
But a lot of people asked what I would do
774
00:47:52,661 --> 00:47:54,079
if I got lost back here,
775
00:47:55,247 --> 00:47:59,501
I had to spends several
more days than I planned on,
776
00:47:59,501 --> 00:48:00,836
I guess first thing I would do
777
00:48:00,836 --> 00:48:04,673
would be find a nice nutritious cow patty,
778
00:48:05,591 --> 00:48:07,759
because there're so yummy.
779
00:48:07,759 --> 00:48:11,054
I'm just kidding, you
don't wanna eat cow shit.
780
00:48:11,054 --> 00:48:11,972
That will be bad.
781
00:48:12,806 --> 00:48:15,893
But there are ways you can
scavenger for food out here.
782
00:48:17,311 --> 00:48:20,272
(train engine roaring)
783
00:48:20,272 --> 00:48:23,483
(train hooting)
784
00:48:23,483 --> 00:48:26,194
- I'm so upset by everything and,
785
00:48:27,112 --> 00:48:31,783
I wanted to download this
786
00:48:31,783 --> 00:48:35,495
and do what I could so that
I could take it to the cops,
787
00:48:35,495 --> 00:48:40,500
and during all the frustration
and the upset and everything,
788
00:48:42,794 --> 00:48:45,005
I accidentally deleted it.
789
00:48:47,633 --> 00:48:51,011
- Beverly really beat herself
up about deleting the video,
790
00:48:51,011 --> 00:48:53,972
and I felt bad for her.
791
00:48:53,972 --> 00:48:57,684
I didn't wanna press it because
I knew she felt terrible,
792
00:48:57,684 --> 00:48:59,936
her brother was missing.
793
00:48:59,936 --> 00:49:04,149
But it was a missed
opportunity definitely,
794
00:49:04,149 --> 00:49:05,817
and a definite disappointment.
795
00:49:06,818 --> 00:49:11,782
- The last video of Gary on that blog,
796
00:49:11,907 --> 00:49:16,578
is him basically telling his followers,
797
00:49:16,578 --> 00:49:19,915
okay, here I go, I'll go back.
798
00:49:20,916 --> 00:49:22,584
And he doesn't look okay about it.
799
00:49:23,543 --> 00:49:27,965
- Gary's final video is truly haunting.
800
00:49:27,965 --> 00:49:32,427
And it is really the
beginning of a bigger mystery.
801
00:49:35,263 --> 00:49:39,726
- Gary's last video that
he posted to his blog
802
00:49:39,726 --> 00:49:43,730
said that he was gonna go back out
803
00:49:46,316 --> 00:49:50,946
and record everything
and prove to everyone
804
00:49:50,946 --> 00:49:55,158
that this was real, that
this really existed.
805
00:50:00,914 --> 00:50:04,960
It's the last time that
he ever posted anything
806
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:06,586
or anybody heard from him.
807
00:50:08,213 --> 00:50:10,215
(ominous music)
808
00:50:18,140 --> 00:50:20,809
(air whooshing)
809
00:50:29,401 --> 00:50:31,570
- Hey guys, I'm back.
810
00:50:31,570 --> 00:50:32,612
Wanted to make a video
811
00:50:32,612 --> 00:50:35,991
about the different comments
people left on my last video.
812
00:50:38,034 --> 00:50:40,954
A lot of you were coming up
with some crazy theories,
813
00:50:40,954 --> 00:50:44,291
what was out there,
what I saw in the woods.
814
00:50:45,375 --> 00:50:47,461
Some of you don't believe it,
815
00:50:47,461 --> 00:50:49,337
some of you are asking for the location
816
00:50:49,337 --> 00:50:52,048
and wanna find it yourself.
817
00:50:52,048 --> 00:50:53,759
I'm really against people going out
818
00:50:53,759 --> 00:50:57,012
in the backwoods in
Nevada without experience,
819
00:50:57,012 --> 00:50:58,722
there's a lot dangers out there,
820
00:50:58,722 --> 00:51:02,184
from old mines to just random people
821
00:51:02,184 --> 00:51:04,436
and you can get lost easily,
822
00:51:04,436 --> 00:51:06,730
the scenery looks a lot the same,
823
00:51:06,730 --> 00:51:08,774
and if there's no trails,
824
00:51:08,774 --> 00:51:12,277
you can get lost and turn around
and be out there for days.
825
00:51:12,277 --> 00:51:14,446
And if you don't bring
enough food or water,
826
00:51:14,446 --> 00:51:15,530
you're in real danger.
827
00:51:17,407 --> 00:51:19,117
So I don't wanna give out the location
828
00:51:19,117 --> 00:51:23,079
and just be the one that
causes a whole bunch of people
829
00:51:23,079 --> 00:51:25,040
to go out in the backwoods in Nevada.
830
00:51:26,124 --> 00:51:29,169
I'll go out there, find the shelter again.
831
00:51:29,169 --> 00:51:32,130
This time, I'll bring
my camera and firearm,
832
00:51:32,130 --> 00:51:33,840
I have to do some work first,
833
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:36,551
but I plan on leaving on the 22nd,
834
00:51:36,551 --> 00:51:39,387
and I'll need a good six
days to be out there again.
835
00:51:40,430 --> 00:51:43,266
It's a good three days
in, and three days back,
836
00:51:43,266 --> 00:51:45,685
but we're gonna find out what this is,
837
00:51:45,685 --> 00:51:49,564
and look forward to another video,
838
00:51:49,564 --> 00:51:51,233
once we finally get out there,
839
00:51:52,275 --> 00:51:54,277
I'll have something for you guys posted.
840
00:51:58,657 --> 00:52:00,659
(ominous music)
841
00:52:01,326 --> 00:52:03,245
- He goes and that's it.
842
00:52:03,245 --> 00:52:04,538
And that's the last,
843
00:52:05,580 --> 00:52:08,041
that's the last video of Gary.
844
00:52:08,041 --> 00:52:11,545
And no one knows where he was going.
845
00:52:12,754 --> 00:52:17,175
So the search is so
vast and Nevada is huge,
846
00:52:17,175 --> 00:52:20,428
and he could be anywhere.
847
00:52:21,721 --> 00:52:23,723
(ominous music)
848
00:52:34,860 --> 00:52:37,279
This place that he talks
about could be anywhere.
849
00:52:41,867 --> 00:52:43,285
- This became a perfect storm
850
00:52:43,285 --> 00:52:46,872
because now we knew what Gary was doing,
851
00:52:46,872 --> 00:52:48,623
we just had no idea where.
852
00:52:49,875 --> 00:52:54,880
- I had no idea that he
had this whole other life,
853
00:52:55,005 --> 00:52:57,966
this blog, all these
followers and everything
854
00:52:57,966 --> 00:52:59,175
had I known that,
855
00:53:00,051 --> 00:53:04,598
I would have never, ever,
let him go back out there.
856
00:53:05,891 --> 00:53:09,019
- This whole case turned
from a missing persons
857
00:53:09,853 --> 00:53:12,898
to a huge mystery.
858
00:53:12,898 --> 00:53:14,399
Whose cabin was this?
859
00:53:14,399 --> 00:53:16,234
I mean, who lives out there?
860
00:53:16,234 --> 00:53:17,402
Where is this cabin?
861
00:53:17,402 --> 00:53:19,905
I mean, if it's in the middle of nowhere,
862
00:53:19,905 --> 00:53:23,325
what type of person lives
in the middle of nowhere?
863
00:53:23,325 --> 00:53:27,245
And if you're about to
go find that person,
864
00:53:27,245 --> 00:53:29,706
I don't know if they're gonna
be too happy to be found.
865
00:53:29,706 --> 00:53:32,167
I mean, if they're out there that far,
866
00:53:32,167 --> 00:53:34,169
they're out there that far for a reason.
867
00:53:34,878 --> 00:53:36,880
(ominous music)
868
00:53:40,425 --> 00:53:43,845
- Once the radio station
broadcasts about it,
869
00:53:43,845 --> 00:53:45,680
his blog and everything,
870
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:47,933
everybody just went crazy
871
00:53:47,933 --> 00:53:50,268
before the cops could even take it down.
872
00:53:50,268 --> 00:53:55,273
The conspiracy theories
were just everywhere,
873
00:53:55,482 --> 00:54:00,487
from witches to aliens,
area 51, you name it.
874
00:54:02,322 --> 00:54:04,449
- People started coming
out of the woodwork
875
00:54:04,449 --> 00:54:06,451
and everyone had a theory
876
00:54:06,451 --> 00:54:11,456
as to who the cabin belonged
to, what was in the cabin.
877
00:54:12,499 --> 00:54:16,962
There were some comments about
Gary had discovered a witch,
878
00:54:16,962 --> 00:54:19,673
and she was making secret potions
879
00:54:19,673 --> 00:54:22,050
and somehow he had gotten involved,
880
00:54:22,050 --> 00:54:26,221
and I mean it was crazy.
881
00:54:26,221 --> 00:54:28,056
Other people thought it was just a hermit,
882
00:54:28,056 --> 00:54:30,558
you know someone who just
wanted to be left alone.
883
00:54:32,268 --> 00:54:34,688
People thought that maybe
it was a government,
884
00:54:35,647 --> 00:54:39,109
secret government operation, aliens.
885
00:54:41,569 --> 00:54:42,737
I mean it's,
886
00:54:43,780 --> 00:54:44,948
I could go on and on
887
00:54:44,948 --> 00:54:47,534
about the many theories
that people thought.
888
00:54:47,534 --> 00:54:49,953
- The only reasonable
explanation I could come up with
889
00:54:49,953 --> 00:54:52,998
was maybe, Gary had stumbled upon
890
00:54:52,998 --> 00:54:56,084
an illegal marijuana growing operation
891
00:54:56,084 --> 00:54:58,295
out there in the middle
of nowhere in Nevada
892
00:54:59,254 --> 00:55:03,049
and they killed him for
it, it has happened before.
893
00:55:04,300 --> 00:55:05,135
But,
894
00:55:07,721 --> 00:55:08,805
I was wrong.
895
00:55:12,851 --> 00:55:17,856
- I just couldn't shake
this sickening feeling.
896
00:55:19,399 --> 00:55:21,401
(ominous music)
897
00:55:28,408 --> 00:55:30,243
Before I knew it, the cops showed up
898
00:55:30,243 --> 00:55:32,620
and they had known all about his blog
899
00:55:32,620 --> 00:55:36,082
and I was actually on the
computer when they got there.
900
00:55:36,082 --> 00:55:40,628
And they gathered everything
up, seized everything,
901
00:55:40,628 --> 00:55:43,048
including his hard drives.
902
00:55:43,048 --> 00:55:44,674
- [Gary] Guys,
903
00:55:44,674 --> 00:55:46,134
another model train video here,
904
00:55:46,134 --> 00:55:48,762
I just got back from a flea market,
905
00:55:48,762 --> 00:55:51,097
and look what I picked up today.
906
00:55:52,599 --> 00:55:57,479
Got a nice little HO diesel locomotive,
907
00:55:57,479 --> 00:55:59,564
lettered for one of my favorite railroads,
908
00:55:59,564 --> 00:56:01,649
it's called the California Western,
909
00:56:02,734 --> 00:56:04,736
out of Northern California.
910
00:56:04,736 --> 00:56:07,739
(plastic train rattling)
911
00:56:07,739 --> 00:56:09,949
Set that down.
912
00:56:09,949 --> 00:56:14,954
Then got this brand new steam
engine for the Santa Fe.
913
00:56:15,872 --> 00:56:17,874
(ominous music)
914
00:56:24,464 --> 00:56:27,675
- My private investigator
called and said that,
915
00:56:27,675 --> 00:56:32,680
the detectives on the case
wanted to meet with me.
916
00:56:32,722 --> 00:56:36,601
So I ended up going down
to the precinct and,
917
00:56:39,562 --> 00:56:42,607
they kept asking me, is
there anything you need?
918
00:56:42,607 --> 00:56:44,192
Have you eaten today?
919
00:56:45,318 --> 00:56:47,737
Just beating around the bush
920
00:56:47,737 --> 00:56:52,742
and I finally asked
them, what is going on?
921
00:56:54,577 --> 00:56:55,411
- [Man] It's back on.
922
00:56:55,411 --> 00:56:58,248
(dramatic chase music)
923
00:56:58,248 --> 00:57:00,083
- We are back with a break in the case
924
00:57:00,083 --> 00:57:02,252
of missing hiker, Gary Hinge.
925
00:57:02,252 --> 00:57:04,254
Was made yesterday when his backpack
926
00:57:04,254 --> 00:57:08,383
was discovered by a couple
camping in White Pine County.
927
00:57:08,383 --> 00:57:09,843
When they woke up in the morning,
928
00:57:09,843 --> 00:57:10,969
they found the backpack
929
00:57:10,969 --> 00:57:14,097
had been intentionally
placed in their campsite.
930
00:57:14,097 --> 00:57:15,640
What they found inside
931
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:19,185
has sent a shockwave
through the state of Nevada.
932
00:57:19,185 --> 00:57:23,231
Hinge's truck was found parked
in Eureka earlier this month.
933
00:57:23,231 --> 00:57:25,442
But police now say they have evidence
934
00:57:25,442 --> 00:57:26,818
that it was parked there,
935
00:57:26,818 --> 00:57:29,821
to throw off investigators
searching for him.
936
00:57:29,821 --> 00:57:34,200
- They woke up to find Gary's backpack
937
00:57:37,495 --> 00:57:40,165
draped on a shovel that they had there.
938
00:57:42,834 --> 00:57:44,335
And when they opened it,
939
00:57:46,838 --> 00:57:49,174
Gary's belongings were in there,
940
00:57:50,842 --> 00:57:52,844
(ominous music)
941
00:57:56,848 --> 00:57:58,850
as well as a severed hand,
942
00:58:01,269 --> 00:58:02,103
Gary's hand.
943
00:58:03,062 --> 00:58:05,982
(ominous music)
944
00:58:22,874 --> 00:58:25,251
- [Bill] The way that his hand was severed
945
00:58:25,251 --> 00:58:28,171
was incredibly violent.
946
00:58:28,171 --> 00:58:32,383
The way that it was chopped
off, was just gruesome.
947
00:58:32,383 --> 00:58:34,177
- It was deliberately placed there,
948
00:58:34,177 --> 00:58:38,556
because someone wanted it to be found.
949
00:58:38,556 --> 00:58:40,058
- The forensic showed,
950
00:58:41,351 --> 00:58:44,979
that his hand had been severed,
951
00:58:46,814 --> 00:58:49,651
for more than five weeks.
952
00:58:49,651 --> 00:58:52,904
- And it was still
clutching a video camera.
953
00:58:53,780 --> 00:58:56,574
And what's even more crazy was,
954
00:58:58,326 --> 00:59:01,538
the hand wasn't like torn off from a body,
955
00:59:01,538 --> 00:59:03,957
it was a clean cut.
956
00:59:03,957 --> 00:59:05,250
- I was gutted,
957
00:59:07,794 --> 00:59:10,713
by the fact that he had suffered.
958
00:59:11,714 --> 00:59:13,716
- Once the camera was discovered,
959
00:59:13,716 --> 00:59:17,303
everybody wanted to know, is there a tape?
960
00:59:18,513 --> 00:59:20,265
And does the tape work?
961
00:59:20,265 --> 00:59:22,850
And what's on the tape?
962
00:59:22,850 --> 00:59:24,936
(camera shuttering)
963
00:59:24,936 --> 00:59:27,647
- We were very anxious for the crime lab
964
00:59:27,647 --> 00:59:29,148
to process the evidence.
965
00:59:29,148 --> 00:59:30,108
(camera shutters)
966
00:59:30,108 --> 00:59:33,778
And sure enough, when they did,
967
00:59:33,778 --> 00:59:36,072
the memory chip was still in the camera.
968
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:40,076
(camera shutters)
969
00:59:40,868 --> 00:59:45,081
(ominous music intensifies)
970
00:59:52,630 --> 00:59:56,050
It was truly terrifying to watch
971
00:59:56,050 --> 01:00:01,055
and I can't even imagine the true horror
972
01:00:01,472 --> 01:00:03,141
that he faced out there.
973
01:00:04,309 --> 01:00:08,730
- Bill calls me and the
forensic investigators
974
01:00:08,730 --> 01:00:13,693
have video of Gary's final moments
975
01:00:13,985 --> 01:00:17,780
and so they take us into a room.
976
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:20,700
- The team thought it would be best
977
01:00:20,700 --> 01:00:25,079
if I sat down with Beverly and
watched the videos with her,
978
01:00:25,079 --> 01:00:28,833
because I had a relationship with her
979
01:00:28,833 --> 01:00:31,586
and I had a kind of a special rapport.
980
01:00:31,586 --> 01:00:33,171
So they thought it would probably be best
981
01:00:33,171 --> 01:00:34,922
if maybe I sat down with her first.
982
01:00:36,966 --> 01:00:38,843
- Bill started the first video
983
01:00:38,843 --> 01:00:45,475
and there was Gary shining his
light around, saying hello.
984
01:00:47,810 --> 01:00:51,981
And the innocence in his voice,
985
01:00:54,734 --> 01:00:56,527
I just,
986
01:00:58,613 --> 01:00:59,781
I couldn't do it.
987
01:01:00,907 --> 01:01:01,991
I
988
01:01:03,534 --> 01:01:04,744
I had to stop.
989
01:01:07,997 --> 01:01:11,459
And then Bill finished watching.
990
01:01:16,631 --> 01:01:18,633
(ominous music)
991
01:01:27,308 --> 01:01:29,894
- [Bill] The clips begin
like all the other clips,
992
01:01:31,187 --> 01:01:32,730
Gary's even smiling,
993
01:01:33,940 --> 01:01:36,859
but he has no idea what's about to happen.
994
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:41,739
- Hey guys, a little video update.
995
01:01:41,739 --> 01:01:43,116
I am.
996
01:01:43,116 --> 01:01:43,950
(thunder roars)
997
01:01:43,950 --> 01:01:44,951
Oh, there's thunder.
998
01:01:45,785 --> 01:01:48,579
Storm's coming in, I
gotta make this quick.
999
01:01:48,579 --> 01:01:50,248
Got a whole nother ridge line to climb
1000
01:01:50,248 --> 01:01:53,626
before I get to the spot
where I saw that shelter
1001
01:01:53,626 --> 01:01:57,088
but I'm about halfway
there, a day and a half in.
1002
01:01:59,507 --> 01:02:00,842
We'll see what we find.
1003
01:02:02,093 --> 01:02:05,555
Climbed over one mountain range
already, got one more to go.
1004
01:02:06,639 --> 01:02:08,099
And, better make it quick,
1005
01:02:08,099 --> 01:02:11,352
because that storm's coming in fast.
1006
01:02:11,352 --> 01:02:13,104
We'll see what's on the other side.
1007
01:02:14,021 --> 01:02:14,939
I got (muffled speaking) ways to go,
1008
01:02:14,939 --> 01:02:16,107
but, weird thing is,
1009
01:02:16,107 --> 01:02:19,527
I'm already distinctly smelling the smoke,
1010
01:02:19,527 --> 01:02:21,362
like I smelled last time.
1011
01:02:21,362 --> 01:02:24,365
There's no fires around, there
shouldn't be anyone out here,
1012
01:02:25,366 --> 01:02:28,244
but it's very faint but very
distinct smell of smoke.
1013
01:02:29,620 --> 01:02:30,663
Kind of getting creeped out
1014
01:02:30,663 --> 01:02:33,624
but not as much as I was last time yet.
1015
01:02:33,624 --> 01:02:35,376
We'll see what happens.
1016
01:02:35,376 --> 01:02:37,378
Look for another video update soon.
1017
01:02:57,732 --> 01:02:59,317
(beep sound)
1018
01:02:59,317 --> 01:03:01,986
(air whooshing)
1019
01:03:36,771 --> 01:03:38,272
(beep sound)
1020
01:03:38,272 --> 01:03:40,191
(air whooshing)
1021
01:03:40,191 --> 01:03:43,027
(rattling sounds)
1022
01:03:44,237 --> 01:03:47,073
(rattling sounds)
1023
01:04:04,757 --> 01:04:07,552
(camera rattling)
1024
01:04:09,303 --> 01:04:10,763
(beep sound)
1025
01:04:10,763 --> 01:04:13,432
(air whooshing)
1026
01:04:18,604 --> 01:04:21,440
(camera rattling)
1027
01:04:23,526 --> 01:04:25,027
(beep sound)
1028
01:04:25,027 --> 01:04:27,697
(air whooshing)
1029
01:04:48,217 --> 01:04:50,887
(air whooshing)
1030
01:04:58,644 --> 01:05:01,564
(gravel crunching)
1031
01:05:03,733 --> 01:05:06,360
(air whooshing)
1032
01:05:14,744 --> 01:05:16,287
(beep sound)
1033
01:05:16,287 --> 01:05:18,956
(air whooshing)
1034
01:05:29,258 --> 01:05:32,178
All right, here's the final marker.
1035
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:43,147
(indistinct music playing)
1036
01:05:59,622 --> 01:06:03,209
(indistinct ominous music)
1037
01:06:34,865 --> 01:06:38,744
(gravel crunching sounds)
1038
01:06:38,744 --> 01:06:42,331
(indistinct ominous music)
1039
01:07:20,202 --> 01:07:21,036
(beep sound)
1040
01:07:21,036 --> 01:07:23,706
(air whooshing)
1041
01:07:29,211 --> 01:07:32,047
(rattling sounds)
1042
01:07:32,923 --> 01:07:33,758
(beep sound)
1043
01:07:33,758 --> 01:07:36,427
(air whooshing)
1044
01:07:42,641 --> 01:07:44,518
(rattling sounds)
1045
01:07:54,779 --> 01:07:57,448
(air whooshing)
1046
01:08:24,308 --> 01:08:27,144
(camera rattling)
1047
01:08:37,321 --> 01:08:40,074
(ominous sounds)
1048
01:08:49,333 --> 01:08:52,920
(indistinct ominous music)
1049
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:22,158
(camera rattling)
1050
01:09:22,158 --> 01:09:25,744
(indistinct ominous music)
1051
01:09:33,502 --> 01:09:36,422
(fluttering sound)
1052
01:10:10,456 --> 01:10:13,375

(Gary gasps)
1083
01:15:14,009 --> 01:15:16,678
(air whooshing)
1084
01:15:24,061 --> 01:15:27,523
- [Gal] From what you do see
from the person in the video,
1085
01:15:27,523 --> 01:15:31,151
you can tell that they have a
lot of physical deformities.
1086
01:15:31,151 --> 01:15:34,029
And it's probably one of the main reasons
1087
01:15:34,029 --> 01:15:38,909
why they chose to live where they lived,
1088
01:15:38,909 --> 01:15:42,204
they felt shunned by society.
1089
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:48,543
- [Simon] When we found
out what actually happened,
1090
01:15:51,046 --> 01:15:53,340
it was like this weight
1091
01:15:53,340 --> 01:15:57,761
had been taken off of
Beverly and I's relationship.
1092
01:15:57,761 --> 01:16:02,057
And now we're actually really close.
1093
01:16:02,057 --> 01:16:04,977
And I actually consider
her kind of a big sister.
1094
01:16:06,687 --> 01:16:08,689
(sentimental music)
1095
01:16:17,406 --> 01:16:18,240
(stones crunching)
1096
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:22,411
- [Gary] I'm just hiking
along, almost to the top.
1097
01:16:24,371 --> 01:16:25,789
Over that mountain side.
1098
01:16:29,334 --> 01:16:31,837
Still some thunder in the distance.
1099
01:16:31,837 --> 01:16:34,298
(ground crunching)
1100
01:16:34,298 --> 01:16:36,174
Amazing how far you can hike
1101
01:16:36,174 --> 01:16:39,511
and only seeing a couple of deer,
1102
01:16:39,511 --> 01:16:42,597
how much wildlife that I've seen,
1103
01:16:42,597 --> 01:16:45,142
I'm sure they see me, stay hidden.
1104
01:16:47,686 --> 01:16:52,691
But just a lot of sagebrush
and trees and peaceful desert,
1105
01:16:56,612 --> 01:16:58,196
to walk.
1106
01:16:58,196 --> 01:17:01,908
The great thing about
Nevada, wide open spaces.
1107
01:17:05,329 --> 01:17:08,540
- Everybody immediately
wants to go and search
1108
01:17:08,540 --> 01:17:09,374
for the one thing
1109
01:17:09,374 --> 01:17:12,502
that they've been told
not to go search for.
1110
01:17:12,502 --> 01:17:15,922
And so now there's this
whole band of influencers
1111
01:17:15,922 --> 01:17:20,927
who are out there wanting
to find this person
1112
01:17:22,971 --> 01:17:25,474
and post about it and blog about it
1113
01:17:25,474 --> 01:17:27,851
and make a video about it.
1114
01:17:27,851 --> 01:17:28,644
And,
1115
01:17:30,979 --> 01:17:32,105
to me that's,
1116
01:17:34,066 --> 01:17:35,567
I mean, that's terrifying.
1117
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:40,322
