00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:05,280
Welcome to Missing Persons Case Files.
A place where they gone? Are not

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:11,640
the forgotten? What's happening in the
forest of North America? How are so

3
00:00:11,839 --> 00:00:17,480
many people disappearing only to have the
remains found much later, or, in

4
00:00:17,519 --> 00:00:23,719
many cases not at all. Are
the predators to blame, giant hair covered

5
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:31,719
beasts or even more terrifying us as
humans? Maybe it's both, Maybe it's

6
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:37,399
neither. These are just a few
of the questions we'll look to uncover here

7
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:47,880
on the Missing Persons Case Files.
Morgan elias Heimer in June of twenty fifteen,

8
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:54,200
Morgan elias Heimer was twenty two years
old and employed as a commercial guide

9
00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:00,359
for Tour West, a renowned rafting
company specializing in trips down the Colorado River

10
00:01:00,759 --> 00:01:07,040
within the Grand Canyon. Morgan was
a passionate fisherman, kayaker, rafter,

11
00:01:07,599 --> 00:01:17,040
and hiker pretty much anything outdoors he
loved. On the sixth of an eight

12
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:22,640
day tour, things went wrong.
He approached the league guide and told him

13
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,400
he was going to take a short
break. The league guy turned around to

14
00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:32,239
give attention to a few of the
guests for just a moment, and when

15
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:37,480
he looked back at Morgan, he
was completely gone. The guid assumed Morgan

16
00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:42,519
was just exploring nearby area and didn't
think much of it, but hours would

17
00:01:42,599 --> 00:01:48,560
pass instill no sign of Morgan.
At around seven PM, a concerned member

18
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,519
of the group reported Morgan missing.
Two officials, setting into motion an event

19
00:01:53,879 --> 00:02:00,519
that would captivate the entire Grand Canyon
when Morgan when it disappeared, he was

20
00:02:00,599 --> 00:02:07,000
dressed for the river, wearing a
dark colored flotation device, a blue plaid

21
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:14,520
shirt, long sleeve shirt, his
choco flip flops, and a maroon ballap

22
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:22,120
Park rangers, in search and rescue
teams and concerned colleagues embarked on the extensive

23
00:02:22,199 --> 00:02:29,680
search operation. The Colorado River was
searched within a search radius of river miles

24
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:36,400
to eleven through two twenty five.
The area between river miles two eleven and

25
00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:45,560
two fifteen around Pumpkin Springs was thoroughly
investigated. Hopes of finding Morgan alive were

26
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:51,479
beginning to fade. The search efforts
would soon expand, taking them to Diamond

27
00:02:51,479 --> 00:02:58,159
Creek, twelve miles west of Pumpkin
Springs. The search lasted for six days

28
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:02,719
before it was concluded that Morgan had
drowned. His body was never found,

29
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,840
and there was no evidence that he
was still alive. The circumstances behind his

30
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:15,199
disappearance are baffling, to say the
least. How could a young, fit

31
00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:22,479
and very experienced young man such as
Morgan just up and vanish without a trace,

32
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:30,759
especially in such a well traveled and
monitored area. This one, obviously,

33
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,039
it's going to be a shorter video
because there's just not a whole lot

34
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:42,319
more to add to it. As
far as I know, he wasn't depressed.

35
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:49,520
I haven't seen anything about him being
suicidal in any way. If anyone

36
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,520
knows differently, please let me know. I don't know, guys, this

37
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:59,199
one is weird. I will never
I am never going to understand how it's

38
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:05,360
possible for a person to just disappear
and no trace of them ever be found

39
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:13,319
again. I mean, there's no
there's nothing to indicate that he just moved

40
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:16,199
on and started a new life somewhere. I mean, how could he if

41
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:21,240
he was six days in to an
eight day trip down the Grand Canyon in

42
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,720
the middle of nowhere. There's no
way he could have hiked out of there.

43
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,279
Could he have had somebody there waiting
on him? But then, I

44
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:36,079
mean, what would they have done. I don't know. No clothing was

45
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:43,439
ever found, no body parts.
I mean, could he have gone in,

46
00:04:43,879 --> 00:04:49,120
falling in and drowned even though he
was wearing a life jacket? I

47
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,199
mean that right there would suggest that
that didn't happen. I would think,

48
00:04:56,079 --> 00:05:02,279
I mean, could he have fallen
in and gotten trapped under a limb or

49
00:05:02,319 --> 00:05:06,759
a tree or something, and he's
still underwater. I would not think that

50
00:05:06,759 --> 00:05:14,399
that would be the case, because
over time, bodies break down, they

51
00:05:14,399 --> 00:05:19,879
decay, and when that happens,
pieces of him would break off. As

52
00:05:19,879 --> 00:05:25,399
graphic as that is and horrible as
that sounds, that's what would happen,

53
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,240
and you would have body parts floating
down the river. You would think some

54
00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:36,000
I mean, something would be found
eventually. I don't understand it. Was

55
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:43,759
it something paranormal? Could it be
that? Could it be he stepped into

56
00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:49,279
a portal? These are things in
cases like this that even though people wore

57
00:05:49,399 --> 00:05:55,160
all their eyes and I'm usually one
of those people, but you gotta start

58
00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:00,920
thinking outside of the box when it
comes to stuff like this. First off,

59
00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:08,000
he was talking to the League God
turned around and quite literally here one

60
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:14,839
second, gone the next. I
don't know much about portals, but is

61
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:19,800
it possible that he turned around after
his conversation, took a couple of steps

62
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:27,879
and stepped into something that no one
else saw. I don't know. Did

63
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,079
he walk around the corner just to
clear his head and step into something?

64
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:40,319
Was he abducted by aliens? I
mean, y'all know, I'm not a

65
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:46,240
big UFO guy. Certainly believe in
them, But I don't think a spaceship

66
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:53,199
came down and got Morgan. I
really don't. I'm also not gonna say

67
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,920
big, but I don't know much
about the Grand Canyon, and you know

68
00:06:58,079 --> 00:07:02,759
reports of a faskalatch out there,
I don't think anything like that. Are

69
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:09,160
there other cryptids that are more prevalent
in that area? Quite possible. I

70
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,560
mean, that certainly could be the
case. I don't know. Are there

71
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,759
people that live off grid in that
area, like feral people? Did he

72
00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:27,000
come across something, see something that
he wasn't supposed to and someone entered his

73
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,560
life. I feel like that could
be a possibility. I don't know.

74
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:39,879
You gotta think that given the search
the area up there that was searched,

75
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,839
that if it was someone that was
living off grid, they would have been

76
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,120
seen, they would have been found
at some point, and there are no

77
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:54,079
reports of that. So kind of
leads me to go in a different direction.

78
00:07:55,519 --> 00:07:58,120
I don't know, guys, what
do y'all think? The portal thing

79
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:01,120
is what I keep coming back to. And man, there's so many,

80
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:07,920
so many cases out there, guys, of people just disappearing and not being

81
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:13,360
found, or being found in a
completely different place to where they should have

82
00:08:13,439 --> 00:08:18,519
been. That that's not the case
here. But the only thing I can

83
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,560
think of is portals. You want
to think about the more obvious stuff.

84
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:31,800
I mean, in this case,
what would you think obviously happened. I

85
00:08:31,839 --> 00:08:37,720
don't know. I don't know of
anything. He's talking to one of his

86
00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:43,879
coworkers, turns around. They don't
even see which direction he goes. It

87
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:52,080
was that quick that he was gone. So I don't know. I'm at

88
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,480
a loss here. It's crazy.
It's absolutely crazy. Everything I've seen.

89
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,360
This dude was twenty two years old, life just starting. He was had

90
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,320
a great job, one that he
loved, He loved being outdoors and doing

91
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,879
this stuff. He was living his
best life, he really was. I

92
00:09:09,919 --> 00:09:13,919
don't know if he had a girlfriend. I don't know if there was anything

93
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:18,519
like that going on, any recent
breakups or a heartache or death in the

94
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:24,480
family, anything like that that would
lead him to be depressed. Even if

95
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,320
he took his own life, how
did he do it in a way that

96
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:33,559
he would never be found. I
don't get that. I mean the people

97
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,799
that make the argument he went up
there and killed hisself, Okay, Well,

98
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,919
I mean once you do that,
you have no more control. You

99
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,559
can't control what happens to you after
you're dead. So I mean, what

100
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:54,559
did he do he'd bury himself in
a hole and then have it covered up.

101
00:09:56,879 --> 00:10:01,799
I don't know no idea with this
one, guys. It is a

102
00:10:01,879 --> 00:10:09,080
really, really strange case. If
you have any information about this case,

103
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,639
if you have seen him, or
just anything at all, anyone out there

104
00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:22,879
can contact the National Park Service tip
line at eight six five eight zero zero

105
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,960
zero nine. I would hope if
there was anyone out there that had information

106
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:35,360
that could bring this guy home,
that they would think about his family and

107
00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:41,720
do it. We can all just
imagine how horrible it would be to have

108
00:10:41,759 --> 00:10:46,840
somebody that we loved just go away, never hear from them again, never

109
00:10:46,919 --> 00:10:52,240
see them again, and not have
any idea of what happened. I mean,

110
00:10:52,279 --> 00:10:54,879
a death in the family is terrible. Everyone out here, everyone listening

111
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,720
right now, has dealt with someone
close to them dying, and if you

112
00:10:58,799 --> 00:11:03,360
have, you will. We all
know what that'slot, we all know the

113
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:09,759
pain associated with that, but almost
all of us we have closure. My

114
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:16,080
mom passed. Oh it's the toughest
time in my life, but I know

115
00:11:16,159 --> 00:11:20,320
where she was. I was there
that morning. I know where she's at

116
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:24,360
right now. I know the cemetery. I go regularly just to sit with

117
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,200
her and talk. I have that
closure. If something had happened to my

118
00:11:28,279 --> 00:11:33,480
mom to where she was here one
second and gone the next, and I

119
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:39,399
had no idea where she was at, that would kill me. I just

120
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:43,639
I can't imagine what his family's going
through, what others, especially when it

121
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,159
comes to kids. God bless them. Kids are special, They're awesome.

122
00:11:50,039 --> 00:11:52,799
But could you imagine having a little
one and not have any idea where they're

123
00:11:52,840 --> 00:12:00,799
at or what has happened to them? Can you tell me anything that would

124
00:12:00,799 --> 00:12:11,120
be worse than that? Because I
can't think of many things that would stay

125
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:22,399
tuned for more Paranormal Odyssey. Garrett
Bardsley born July twenty fourth, nineteen ninety

126
00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:33,320
two, missing August twentieth of two
thousand and four at around eight am on

127
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,360
Friday, August twentieth, two thousand
and four, twelve year old Garrett Bardsley

128
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,759
and his father, Kevin, got
up early while on a boy Scout camping

129
00:12:41,799 --> 00:12:46,679
trip. They headed down to a
nearby lake called Kuberant One in the Unita

130
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:52,519
Mountains in Utah for some fishing.
The father and son lived in Elkridge and

131
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:58,720
were camping with eighteen Scouts and six
or seven adults from Thursday, August nineteenth,

132
00:12:58,159 --> 00:13:03,159
and had planned to leave Saturday.
Garrett had managed to get his shoes,

133
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,840
pants and socks soaked with water whilst
fishing, and he told his dad

134
00:13:07,879 --> 00:13:13,440
he wanted to walk back to change
back at camp as he felt uncomfortable in

135
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,879
the wet clothes. He told his
father he wouldn't be long and soon back

136
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:20,720
at the lake to try and lean
the fish for breakfast. The rest of

137
00:13:20,759 --> 00:13:26,000
their boy Scout group were camped up
the hill at the Cuberant Number four camp

138
00:13:26,039 --> 00:13:28,720
site, a mere one hundred and
fifty to two hundred and fifty feet away.

139
00:13:30,879 --> 00:13:33,559
They had walked the trail several times
before, so Kevin let his son

140
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,679
head back to camp while he continued
fishing. He thought it was no big

141
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:43,399
deal. Just in case, Kevin
kept his eyes on Garrett as he walked

142
00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:48,279
around the lake, and even shouted
directions reminding Garrett which path would lead him

143
00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:52,399
straight back to camp. Then,
after twenty minutes, Kevin wondered what was

144
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:58,159
taking his son so long to return. He returned to the camp to see

145
00:13:58,159 --> 00:14:01,840
what had happened, and Garrett was
nowhere to be seen. None of the

146
00:14:01,919 --> 00:14:05,919
other boy scouts had seen him at
the camp. A huge search of the

147
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,080
area with hundreds of official and unofficial
searchers turned up nothing apart from one of

148
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:16,759
Garrett's Nike socks. The ice fishing
pole he had with him was also never

149
00:14:16,879 --> 00:14:22,519
located. What happened to Garrett?
Did he get lost? Was it an

150
00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:30,759
abduction, an animal tack or something
more serious. The camp site was less

151
00:14:30,759 --> 00:14:33,759
than a quarter mile from the lake, on a well established path connected with

152
00:14:33,879 --> 00:14:39,080
a road another quarter mile away.
A family friend said the distance to camp

153
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,399
from where they had been fishing was
no more than one hundred and fifty paces.

154
00:14:45,159 --> 00:14:48,360
More than two hundred volunteers and search
and rescue team members searched into the

155
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:54,039
night on Sunday, August twenty first
for Garrett, who was wearing a hooded

156
00:14:54,120 --> 00:15:01,240
black sweatshirt and reversible black and red
sweatpants and white Converse tennis shoes. Additional

157
00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:05,879
search and rescue teams from Cachet County
joined teams from Utah, Salt Lake,

158
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:11,559
was Satch, and Duschane Counties.
He had no provisions or backpack, but

159
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:16,879
was carrying a short black crime ice
fishing pole when he vanished. Hundreds of

160
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:22,840
Summit County Sheriff's Office volunteers and personnels
searched on foot, horseback, and with

161
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:28,519
dogs. This effort was scaled back
to more than fifty professional search and rescue

162
00:15:28,519 --> 00:15:33,279
personnel working on foot. After this, the only evidence that searchers found was

163
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:39,279
Garrett's Nike sock as z eer appoint
five miles from where he disappeared in a

164
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:45,600
granite boulder field. Summit County's Sheriff
Dave Edmunds said the sock appears that it

165
00:15:45,679 --> 00:15:50,360
was taking off of a wet foot
wadded up, very consistent with what we

166
00:15:50,399 --> 00:15:54,600
knew about Garrett. Because of where
the sock was found, edmund said it

167
00:15:54,639 --> 00:15:58,559
would be in line with the assumption
that he sought shelter in the cold weather,

168
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,759
maybe by going into the boulder field
for a crevass or outcropping something to

169
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:10,120
try to get out of the weather. The mountainous terrain meant the temperature drop

170
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:17,519
to around eighteen degrees the night that
Gerrett disappeared. The official search for Garrett

171
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:22,559
was called off after nine days.
A three mile radius in the rugged mountains

172
00:16:22,159 --> 00:16:27,559
from where he was last seen was
thoroughly searched. After the official search,

173
00:16:27,799 --> 00:16:33,919
the family, many dedicated friends and
volunteers continued search efforts, returning at least

174
00:16:33,919 --> 00:16:41,639
two or three times each week until
October. Further searches happened after the winter

175
00:16:41,759 --> 00:16:47,200
of two thousand and four, but
yet turned up nothing. Kevin Barsley said,

176
00:16:47,799 --> 00:16:51,600
we know that it is often discouraging
at the end of the day when

177
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,919
we haven't found him or any signs
of him, But we want you to

178
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,879
know that every area that we search
just gets us that much closer to finding

179
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:07,759
him. I've speculated and speculated.
I don't know where he is. No

180
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:14,640
other sign of Garrett was found in
the area. Did he wander from the

181
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,680
area and get lost? Was he
abducted? Did a grizzly bear or a

182
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:25,400
mountain lion kill him? No sign
of an attack was found, and strangely,

183
00:17:25,559 --> 00:17:30,240
even his fishing rod was never found. Perhaps his remains lie in some

184
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:37,400
hidden crevice. So I want to
switch up some here. I know when

185
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:45,759
we are researching these missing person cases, we often fall down many many rabbit

186
00:17:45,799 --> 00:17:52,519
holes, but this one is very
pertinent to this case. This article says

187
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,240
in two thousand and nine. Now
this is five years after Garrett Bardsley went

188
00:17:56,279 --> 00:18:02,640
missing, which would put him at
roughly seventeen years old at the time.

189
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:10,319
Detectives say they are investigating a possible
sighting in Nevada of Garrett Barsley, the

190
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,839
boy scout who disappeared in the Unita
Mountains when he was twelve years old.

191
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,440
Nobody has reported seeing Bardsley's since the
Utah County boy left his father's side to

192
00:18:19,519 --> 00:18:26,079
retrieve a dry pair of shoes while
fishing near the Mirror Lake Highway in August

193
00:18:26,079 --> 00:18:29,920
two thousand and four. But August
third, two thousand and nine, the

194
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,599
Summit County Sheriff's office received a tip
from the America's Most Wanted television program that

195
00:18:34,759 --> 00:18:38,799
Barsley was spotted with two men at
a grocery store in Nevada. At the

196
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:44,599
end of July, a female in
Elko, Nevada, explained that she was

197
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,519
twenty percent sure that she saw Garrett
Bardsley and a Smith's in Elko. Summit

198
00:18:49,559 --> 00:18:56,839
County Sheriff's Office Detective Rombridge said in
a telephone interview Monday, we receive a

199
00:18:56,839 --> 00:19:00,680
lot of tips like this, but
this one actually came through America's Most Wanted,

200
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,880
so it was a little different for
us. The Sheriff's office sent an

201
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:11,039
investigator this month to retrieve video footage
from security cameras at Smith's Food and Drug

202
00:19:11,079 --> 00:19:17,359
Center and Elko. Bridge. He
said, we have seen the Smith's footage

203
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:22,079
from their security cameras. It is
not one hundred percent clear, but the

204
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,720
possibility of it being Garrett Bardsley is
very, very slim. He said.

205
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:33,880
The men officers are trying to identify
also walked by a security camera inside a

206
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,200
bank at the store. Bridge explained, we are still in the process of

207
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:44,799
subpoenaing shopping records and bank video footage
at Elko. Bridge said that Summit County

208
00:19:44,839 --> 00:19:48,960
investigator met with the store director at
Smith's and local law enforcement officials. We

209
00:19:49,039 --> 00:19:52,039
spoke with him about the people who
are in the film, trying to get

210
00:19:52,079 --> 00:19:59,039
any information on them from a local
law enforcement standpoint, but nobody knew them.

211
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,000
The store director in Elco would not
comment about the case when reached Tuesday

212
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,720
by the Park Record. When a
person is lost, we literally have hunter's

213
00:20:08,799 --> 00:20:14,480
phone calls into our dispatch center giving
us tips. Some people get them from

214
00:20:14,519 --> 00:20:18,799
sources that are unorthodox, such as
their pet, and some people claiming that

215
00:20:18,839 --> 00:20:26,240
they are newly converted psychics. Still, we investigate every tip. For this

216
00:20:26,279 --> 00:20:30,599
particular incident, there is video footage. Therefore, we are going to track

217
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,759
that down until it is exhausted,
Bridge said. Bridge wouldn't say whether the

218
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:41,039
missing boy's father, Kevin Bardsley,
has viewed security footage taken from the store.

219
00:20:41,559 --> 00:20:45,680
We are constantly in contact with mister
Bardsley, Bridge said, but what

220
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:51,920
we talk to mister Bardsley about is
simply between law enforcement and mister Bardsley.

221
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:59,960
Again venturing down another rabbit trail that
I have found in connection with this case,

222
00:21:00,279 --> 00:21:04,400
well, I don't want to say
in connection per se. It's in

223
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:11,160
the same area and happened less than
a year after Garrett Bardsley went missing.

224
00:21:12,079 --> 00:21:17,960
An eleven year old boy who vanished
from a boy scout camp was found alive

225
00:21:18,039 --> 00:21:23,359
and in good condition Tuesday after spending
four days lost in the rugged utile wilderness.

226
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:30,640
Sheriff David Edmonds said Brennan Hawkins was
a little dehydrated, a little weak,

227
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,319
but other than that he was in
very good health. After downing bottles

228
00:21:34,319 --> 00:21:38,759
of water and eating all the granola
bars carried by a group of volunteer searchers,

229
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,240
the boy asked to play a video
game on one rescuer's cell phone.

230
00:21:44,319 --> 00:21:49,400
Sheriff said authorities planned to take the
youngster to a hospital to be checked out.

231
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:55,119
Thousands of searchers, many of them
volunteers, had scoured the area for

232
00:21:55,200 --> 00:22:00,480
the boy, using long poles to
probe a swollen river. The youngster,

233
00:22:00,599 --> 00:22:06,279
from the Salt Lake City suburb of
but of Bountiful, was found just before

234
00:22:06,319 --> 00:22:11,640
noon near Lily Lake, about five
miles from his camp in the Unita Mountains

235
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,279
where he was last seen. He
was reunited with his parents and their four

236
00:22:15,319 --> 00:22:21,359
other children. Brennan carried no food
or water, and his family had said

237
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,640
he did not have a good sense
of direction, but the sheriff said that

238
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:30,319
the knights had been warm, with
tempters falling only into the fifties. The

239
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,400
area is about one hundred miles northeast
of Salt Lake City. It was not

240
00:22:34,519 --> 00:22:38,680
immediately clear how he survived or whether
he tried to find his way back to

241
00:22:38,759 --> 00:22:44,440
camp. He didn't really talk much
at all, He just wanted something to

242
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,279
eat. Edmund said investigators will wait
until the boy has had time to recover

243
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:55,279
before questioning him. Kay Godfrey,
a spokeswoman for the Boy Scout's Great Salt

244
00:22:55,359 --> 00:23:03,119
Lake Council, pronounced the boy's rescue
a modern day miracle. Volunteer Forrest Nunley,

245
00:23:03,279 --> 00:23:07,359
a forty three year old house painter
from Salt Lake City, said he

246
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,440
found Brennan standing in the middle of
the trail. He was all muddy and

247
00:23:11,559 --> 00:23:18,119
wet. The boy saw some volunteer
searchers on horseback, but he didn't want

248
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:22,839
to come out. He was too
scared. He was a little delirious.

249
00:23:23,319 --> 00:23:27,640
I sat him down and gave him
a little food. Nonely said. During

250
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:32,200
the search, rescuers had feared the
boy had fallen into a river that was

251
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:37,119
swollen by heavy snow melt. The
east fork of the Bear River is within

252
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,880
one hundred yards of the road where
the boy was believed to have been walking.

253
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:47,319
Deep water rescue teams searched the river
while others combed the rugged area around

254
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:52,279
it. On Monday, rescuers found
three socks and a sandal in the river,

255
00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:57,799
but none belonged to Brennan. The
boy's parents also sifted fruitlessly through enough

256
00:23:57,839 --> 00:24:03,279
clothing collected from the mountains to fill
the bed of the pick up. Among

257
00:24:03,319 --> 00:24:08,359
the volunteer searchers was Kevin Barsley,
whose twelve year old son Garrett, vanished

258
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:15,000
last August while camping at a nearby
lake. Bardsley was never found despite a

259
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,359
week long search. Kevin is noted
in saying, when we came off this

260
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,319
mountain in the winter, my friends
and I decided right then if anyone came

261
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:30,359
back missing, we would be there
immediately. So this brings in a lot

262
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:38,119
of questions for me comparing these two
cases, and I did look into it.

263
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:45,839
The area where Brendan Hawkins was found, they were able to get ATV's

264
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:52,720
in there. The area where Garrett
Bardsley went missing was more rugged, had

265
00:24:52,799 --> 00:25:02,119
more boulder fields. Getting an ATV
in there was absolutely ridiculous. There's just

266
00:25:02,279 --> 00:25:07,960
no way that that would have been
able to happen. The difference I see

267
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:14,599
between the two cases as well is
in the Bardsley case. And I'm not

268
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,519
saying it's you do what you do
when a child is missing. You're not

269
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:25,000
thinking straight as a parent and your
only goal is finding your missing child.

270
00:25:25,839 --> 00:25:32,039
But they searched a three mile radius. Now an I granted that's I agree

271
00:25:32,079 --> 00:25:38,720
that that's a lot of area to
cover, But I'm wondering if the outcome

272
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:45,480
would have been different if they would
have searched a little bit farther. Now,

273
00:25:45,559 --> 00:25:48,119
again, I'm not there. I
wasn't there. I'm not saying what

274
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:53,279
they did was wrong. I'm just
wondering because, in the comparison of these

275
00:25:53,319 --> 00:26:00,880
two cases, this little boy Brennan
traveled five miles away from his camp.

276
00:26:00,759 --> 00:26:07,319
So, hypothetically speaking, if Garrett
had traveled five miles away from his camp

277
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:14,839
and got was lost, would he
had been found within those other two miles

278
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:21,400
or three miles or four miles?
So in the article that I had read

279
00:26:21,519 --> 00:26:27,880
concerning Garrett, he wasn't that far
away from this lake. He was three

280
00:26:29,039 --> 00:26:33,599
hundred and ninety three feet away from
where he and his dad were fishing.

281
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,640
When he was making his way back
to camp to change his shoes and his

282
00:26:37,759 --> 00:26:42,160
socks, there was a Nike sock
found that was wet and waited up.

283
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:48,440
And if you research this case,
you will find that one of the volunteer

284
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:56,000
searchers claimed that sock, saying that
it was his, that he had taken

285
00:26:56,039 --> 00:27:02,839
it off. But in my opinion, that were my sock as a searcher,

286
00:27:03,079 --> 00:27:07,519
and I had taken it off,
I wouldn't have left it laying in

287
00:27:07,599 --> 00:27:12,920
the ground in similar places that this
little boy had his socks. And when

288
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,559
they showed the mom the sock that
was found, she was one hundred percent

289
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,680
sure that that was Garrett's sock.
Also, you have a grown man foot

290
00:27:23,279 --> 00:27:27,400
compared to a twelve year old boy, there's going to be a size difference,

291
00:27:27,839 --> 00:27:30,759
and I promise you that a grown
man will not be able to fit

292
00:27:30,839 --> 00:27:37,759
his foot into this child's sock.
He had no provisions or backpack. He

293
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:45,079
still had his fishing pole, which
you know he's not found. I mean,

294
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,559
he's gonna come right back, right, Why would I you know,

295
00:27:48,079 --> 00:27:52,880
hyphazardly, he's just in his hand
when he takes off walking. I don't

296
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,160
think there's anything too suspicious about that
that a lot of people do. But

297
00:27:56,319 --> 00:28:03,839
that's again, it's just my opinion. I really think, in my heart

298
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:11,640
of hearts, with his dad having
to yell out directions to him to get

299
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,200
back to camp to make sure he
was one hundred percent correct about how to

300
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:22,359
get back to camp. I really
think that on the way there he got

301
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:29,960
sidetracked. He got distracted in half
a second. The woods can they all

302
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,440
look the same, and you can
get turned around in no time flat.

303
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,200
And I really think, in my
heart of hearts, that that is what

304
00:28:38,279 --> 00:28:44,400
it would happen to Garrett. And
if you look at pictures of the area

305
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,960
surrounding his camp and the Boulder fields, I really think that he had fallen

306
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:59,039
into one of the crevices there and
they were unable to find him. It's

307
00:28:59,079 --> 00:29:04,680
been twenty years this year this August, it'll be twenty years. There's never

308
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:11,359
been any sign of him. There's
never been any clothing, his fishing pole

309
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:18,319
is it hasn't turned up. It's
a very bizarre case, it is.

310
00:29:18,119 --> 00:29:22,119
And we say it all the time. We say it all the time.

311
00:29:22,319 --> 00:29:27,279
Here one minute, gone the next, And I really I don't think that

312
00:29:27,839 --> 00:29:33,640
he was abducted. I know within
the other article that I read where this

313
00:29:33,759 --> 00:29:37,079
lady called and said, you know, I'm about twenty percent sure. You

314
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,079
got to figure the timeline. This
is five years from his previous picture.

315
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:47,079
In his previous picture, he has
a gap in his front teeth. He

316
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:52,559
is seeing with braces. If somebody
abducted him and then brought him out into

317
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:59,480
the public five years later, he
would have to have new clothing, you

318
00:29:59,519 --> 00:30:02,079
know, with the races, I'm
not sure how that would work. I

319
00:30:02,119 --> 00:30:06,720
really don't feel that that was Garrett
Barnsley, unfortunately. I just I really

320
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:12,359
don't think that that's what it was. Now, in this particular area,

321
00:30:14,559 --> 00:30:21,759
there are no paranormal happenings. And
as the case that you guys just heard

322
00:30:21,799 --> 00:30:27,559
from Wayne about Morgan, they're one
second and gone the next. So it's

323
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:36,279
like it happens, and it happens
everywhere with no explanation. I'm researching more

324
00:30:36,359 --> 00:30:44,200
cases today and they are mind boggling. Twenty five and thirty year old men

325
00:30:44,839 --> 00:30:51,279
walk into these areas and they vanish. So within a three mile radius,

326
00:30:51,359 --> 00:30:56,279
this little boy was looked for by
over two hundred people, but he is

327
00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:00,880
just gone. It doesn't make any
sense to me, do I not always

328
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,160
jumped to the conclusion of well,
this was strange, this was paranormal,

329
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,640
this was bigfoot, this was he
just disappeared. It's like he walked into

330
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:15,200
a portal and was gone, and
he's been gone. It's it's got wrenching,

331
00:31:15,519 --> 00:31:22,480
but I don't really know how else
to explain it except he fell and

332
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:32,119
he lost his life that way,
or something paranormal happened. But you have

333
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,160
to make that decision. I would
love to hear your comments about this.

334
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:41,400
If you have any suggestions for more
cases for us to look up, absolutely

335
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:47,279
send them our way Wayne at Paranormal
World Productions dot com or me Tiffany at

336
00:31:47,319 --> 00:31:56,240
Paranormal World Productions dot com. These
happen everywhere every day, So when you

337
00:31:56,279 --> 00:32:00,799
go out on a hike, use
your brain. Do not leave the trail

338
00:32:04,359 --> 00:32:08,680
with your children. Please hold their
hand because in an instant they could be

339
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:13,880
gone. I understand that this little
boy was twelve and he was coming into

340
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:19,359
his own and his dad's probably thinking
that way. However, when it comes

341
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:25,240
to even being a mere three hundred
and ninety three feet away, he's gone.

342
00:32:25,599 --> 00:32:31,759
So please do take care of yourselves
when you go out into the woods

343
00:32:31,839 --> 00:32:37,039
hiking. I know that that is
a very popular pastime, and I think

344
00:32:37,079 --> 00:32:40,279
that it can be done safely,
and I think it could be done the

345
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:45,839
right way, and sometimes even done
the right way, you disappear. It's

346
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:52,440
just you have to be on guard
everywhere you go. But until we talk

347
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:57,839
again, please take care of yourselves
and watch out for those little babies.

348
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:04,079
