Pacific Northwest Missing Persons Project
Each year 2,400 people, on average, get lost in the wilderness in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. 90% of those that become lost are found alive, 8 % are located deceased, and the other 2% simply vanish without a trace.
Our host Tanner Hoskins, co-Founder of Pacific Northwest Bigfoot Search and Executive Director at Pacific Northwest Missing Persons Project (PNWMPP) shares the mysterious true stories of adults and children who inexplicably disappeared while recreating in the great outdoors of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana.
Tanner will share the stories of these missing persons as well as our own expeditions into the area these people were last seen or known to be.
We hope that by telling these stories we can help foster a community driven in bringing answers and closure to these grieving families.
Tanner will also share stories from our organization's own personal expeditions into the wilderness in search of signs of Sasquatch activity and following-up on reports of reported bigfoot activity.

Vicki Atkins and Bing Olbum (August 2024 - FOUND ALIVE!)
This week's episode Tanner talks about two incredibly strong, separate individuals that were lost in the wilderness and found their way out.
The first story is that of Vicki Atkins, 58 year old Native American from the Yakama Nation, Washington vanished August 3rd, 2024 while picking huckleberries in Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington State.
The second story is that of Bing Olbum, 89 year old white male that traveled into the Salmon-Challis National Forest in Idaho with five days of supply and didn't exit the forest at his pre-determined time and date.
Truly incredible stories, we hope you enjoy this week's episode!
