00:00truth and trends I'm Charles today we're taking a look at a very chilling topic the missing 411
00:14inches phenomenon this is a series of unexplained disappearances that have happened in national
00:19parks and wilderness areas across the country and I know you've been doing a lot of research
00:24on this Sophia I have Charles it's a very eerie phenomenon the term missing 411 inches was coined
00:31by a former police officer and investigator David Paulides he found that a number of people who have
00:35gone missing in national parks have similar bizarre circumstances surrounding their disappearance what
00:40are some of those circumstances well a lot of the people who go missing are very experienced hikers
00:45or hunters they know the land and a lot of them just vanish without a trace so there's no foul play no
00:51signs of a struggle no there are no clues no footprints nothing it's as if they just disappeared
00:56into thin air and what about the weather a lot of the disappearances happen right before a storm or
01:01during a sudden change in weather so it's not just a person getting lost it's a person getting lost
01:06under very strange circumstances and here's the other big detail the victims ages a lot of the
01:12people who go missing are either very young children or very experienced hikers that's a strange pattern
01:17I'm not familiar with the specifics of all the cases but that does sound very odd it is and it's
01:22one of the things that has baffled investigators for years so what are the theories are we talking
01:27about a scientific explanation or something more sinister there are a lot of theories from the
01:31scientific to the paranormal some people believe it's a natural phenomenon that we just don't
01:36understand yet others believe it's an extraterrestrial or a supernatural being so there's no single
01:41definitive answer no this is a very unsettling and a very mysterious phenomenon and it's one that a lot of
01:46people are still trying to figure out well thank you for bringing this to us today my pleasure
