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.

Canada's Wilderness: The lost, the found, and the missing
In this haunting episode of the Pacific Northwest Missing Persons Project Podcast, we venture beyond borders into Canada’s vast, untamed wilderness—where stories vanish into the fog, survive against impossible odds, or dissolve in waves.
🔹 Mélanie Ethier – A 15-year-old vanishes after a short walk home in New Liskeard, Ontario. Despite decades of investigation, no trace has ever been found.
🔹 Sam Benastick – An experienced hiker disappears in remote British Columbia… and reemerges over 50 days later in a survival story few believed possible.
🔹 Grant Hadwin – A controversial environmental protester fells the legendary Golden Spruce, then disappears in Hecate Strait under mysterious and debated circumstances.
Blending immersive sound design with documentary-style narration, this episode captures the raw beauty—and unforgiving nature—of Canada’s wilderness, where the line between myth and memory grows thin.
🎧 Listen closely. The silence speaks volumes.
Call to Action:
If you have any information about Mélanie Ethier’s disappearance, please contact the Ontario Provincial Police. And before your next trip outdoors, familiarize yourself with missing persons cases in the area. You might unknowingly hold a piece of someone’s story.
