Summary

Join us this week for the first of a Special Mini Series, 'Gone In Alaska'.

June 19, 2014, on a desolate stretch of island beach in Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska, a battered red and white kayak, a map, journals, full bags of rice and lentils, and one French passport were found. It told the name of a missing man and about his 3000-mile journey. Join us this week for a Special Edition of Locations Unknown: Gone In Alaska, where we investigate the strange disappearance of François Guenot.  (Episode 115)
