154: Trail Mix - Missing In Pennsylvania

154: Trail Mix - Missing In Pennsylvania

Two men. Two familiar places. Two routine outings that should have ended like any other… but didn’t. One would be found days later, his life ending in a place he knew well. The other would vanish without a trace, leaving behind only questions that still haven’t been answered three decades later. Today, we’re heading into the forests of Pennsylvania—where rugged terrain, quiet trails, and a single misstep can change everything.
