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.

Pacific Northwest Missing Persons Project
Eddie Harris, Scott Smith, and the Kim Family (Oregon)
In this episode of the Pacific Northwest Missing Persons Project Podcast, host Tanner Hoskins investigates the mysterious disappearance of Eddie Curtis Hair and Scott Jon Smith, two longtime friends from Beaverton, Oregon, who vanished after heading out on a simple outdoor trip in mid-September 2025.
Their red 2005 Jeep Wrangler (Oregon plate 494 QKW) has yet to be found, leaving behind only questions and heartache for their families.
Tanner explores the timeline, terrain, and investigative details surrounding their disappearance — while drawing lessons from the tragic 2006 case of James Kim, whose determination to save his stranded family in the Oregon wilderness became one of the most haunting survival stories in modern history.
This episode blends search insight, field experience, and emotional storytelling to shed light on how quickly ordinary adventures in the Pacific Northwest can turn into life-and-death situations — and what we can all do to stay prepared, aware, and connected.
“Before you go recreating in the great outdoors of the Pacific Northwest and beyond, please become familiar with the missing persons cases in the area you plan to recreate in. You never know when you might locate something that brings answers or closure to a grieving family.” – Tanner Hoskins
