Every hunter knows that the wilderness is full of surprises.

Sometimes what you find out there isn't an elk or a bear.

It's something darker.

It never made sense what law enforcement was saying to us.

How could she have just gone down there and accidentally died?

How could there have been no marks on her?

All theories are out there.

You know, everything from murder to UFOs to Bigfoot.

This season on Blood Trails were following the trail of seven cases that start in the field

and end in the shadows, where missing persons reports,

half-buried evidence and whispered suspicions blur the line between hunting story and homicide.

I just instantly started freaking out, yelling to the world, what's going on. I yelled help.

I mean, I'm out in the middle of nowhere. I had no idea what

was going on. From the frozen woods of Maine to the mountains of Montana, from an archery

opener gone wrong in Wisconsin to a father's last walk through the Minnesota deer woods. Each story

begins with a hunter stepping into the wild, but not all of them come back.

You know, you just got an empty feeling. What do you say? He's not out of here with us.

You know, it was hot. I'm Jordan Sillers. Join me as we track the truth through tangled cover and

cold case files where every trail tells a story and every story leaves its own trail of blood.
