When Kubacki had first gone missing, the search team found his poles and skis at the edge of the lake. His family was in shock, hugging him and asking where he had been. His aunt and father lived in Pittsfield, so he knocked on his aunt’s door. They told him he was in Pittsfield, Massachusetts - 700 miles away from where he had been skiing. He hiked to the nearest town, and asked a local resident where he was. Sitting next to him was a stranger’s backpack containing running shoes and glasses that did not belong to him, either. He was lying in a grassy field in the middle of a forest, wearing clothes that weren’t his. The last thing he remembers was walking through the snow, feeling numb and exhausted. When he got up to leave his own tracks were gone, and he became lost. Once he reached the edge of the lake, he took his skis off to sit down and rest. In February 1977, a 24-year-old man named Steven Kubacki was cross-country skiing through the snow near Lake Michigan. The strangest cases, though, are when these people are found alive to tell their story… and yet there is still no logical explanation for why they disappeared. Some think it could be a clan of cannibals living in the wilderness, or maybe they were dragged off by mountain lions or bears.

Fans of his work try to use these cases as proof of Bigfoot, aliens, or interdimensional wormholes.

Out of respect for the families, Paulides never shares his own personal theories about what happened to these people. He compiled his findings in his book series, called Missing 411. He’s also gone on to film a documentary. Pauldies went on a personal mission to solve these mysteries, or to at least gather as much information as humanly possible. Sometimes, their clothes are found in an area that had already been searched hundreds of times before. Search parties will spend months looking for them, and the bodies are never recovered. Just a few of these common traits are that none of the victims left behind a scent trail for search dogs to find. But in the case of Missing 411, the explanation to these disappearances could be something else entirely.Ī retired police officer named David Paulides noticed similarities in unsolved disappearances occurring near National Parks.
MISSING 411 MAP SERIAL
When there’s a pattern in the type of victims that go missing, police typically believe it’s the work of a serial killer. People go missing every single day, and unfortunately, some of their disappearances will always remain an unsolved mystery.
