The Bigfoot Files

Do people go missing in the national parks of the United States and Canada? Yes, they do. In fact, an astonishing number of people go missing in these national parks every year. Many of these people are found some days or weeks later - alive and dead - but some just vanish forever. There are lots of cases of people wandering alone into national parks and disappearing, but many of the reports are about people who are with others, but inevitably they end up alone at some point and then they mysteriously vanish. Is it possible that the elusive animal known as bigfoot is responsible for some of these deaths and disappearances?
Starting with the most recent case in the summer of 2021 and moving back through time, Childress unravels some of these truly bizarre cases of missing hikers and discovers a frightening reality - many hikers on trails are being carefully watched.
