Hunter Vanished in Appalachian Forests — 5 Years Later Found in an ABANDONED WELL

Late November, 2004. The wind clawed through the pines of Cold Spring Ridge, a high stretch of wilderness above Jefferson Forest, Virginia. A single pickup growled up the slope, its engine echoing between the trees. Daniel Mercer, forty-seven, stepped out of the red 1991 Chevy Silverado, wiping his hands on his jacket. He was a mechanic from the small town of Ashford, the kind of man who fixed everyone’s truck but never asked for help with his own. Every fall, when deer season came, Dan disappeared into these hills. It was his ritual. His peace. His wife, Linda, stood on the porch that morning, holding a box of food and a thermos. She’d packed it the same way every year—coffee, canned beans, jerky. “Back by Sunday?” she asked. Dan smiled, short and sure. “Same as always.”
