These Hunters Knew The Woods BETTER Than Anyone... They Were NEVER Found | Missing 411

He fired six distress shots into the darkness. The pattern every hunter knows — three shots, silence, three more. Over 100 trained rescuers heard those shots echoing through the burned forests of Mount Hood. They searched all night. By morning, the shots had stopped. They never heard them again. Sixteen days later, they found his body at the base of a 400-foot cliff — less than a mile from his truck. Tom Messick was 82 years old with 55 years of hunting experience. He walked into the Adirondack wilderness surrounded by six companions. He was supposed to wait on a stump for four hours. When his friends came back, he was gone. 300 searchers. 29 square miles. 10,000 man-hours. FBI involvement. They found nothing. Not his rifle. Not his clothes. Not a single trace. That was nearly ten years ago. He has never been found. Andrew Porter and Ian Stasko drove into the Colorado wilderness with everything they needed — eight days of supplies, satellite communicators, years of experience. When searchers found their truck, all that gear was still inside. Their bodies were found two miles away. They had nothing with them. Lightning killed them both mid-stride. But why did they leave everything behind and walk into a storm? Two brothers went duck hunting on a California reservoir. One kayak flipped. The older brother called 911. The dispatcher told him not to go in the water. Help was coming. He went in anyway. Neither brother survived. It took 17 days to find one body and 22 days to find the other — in a reservoir surrounded by civilization. These are not stories of inexperienced people making foolish mistakes. These are documented cases of hunters who knew exactly what they were doing. The official explanations answer some questions. They do not answer all of them. What happened in those final moments? Why do searches fail in ways that defy probability? Why do experienced people vanish from terrain they know? The wilderness does not explain itself. But the patterns deserve attention.
