Lincoln County, I feel like from the get go, drop the ball. They were not great by any means.

0:09.5

I tell people all the time, like hope and pray that you never have somebody go missing in Lincoln

0:16.0

County or have any crimes that you need solved or actually look into it. Hopefully it never

0:26.1

happens in Lincoln County because they're, they're shit basically. Sorry, they're shit.

0:33.2

I mean, having read the files, I have to agree. You know, Eugene's family pretty quickly said,

we think they were swept to see and once the police heard that, they never veered from it.

This is Drew Grime bullshit. I'm your host, Josh Hallmark. And this is a serialized story

Or, abducted from the small coastal state park along Highway 101.

1:48.7

Boiler Bay is essentially a scenic viewpoint, an elevated parking area where passers-by can get a

1:56.7

good view of the Pacific Ocean, or use the bathroom, or have a picnic. There are Boilers and

2:04.1

title pools surrounding the overlook, but they're not easily accessible. In fact, they're blocked

2:09.9

by fencing and signs prohibiting people from crossing, likely because they're about 15 feet below
