| 0:17.0 | Hi, guys. I'm Marie. Welcome back in 2024. Hopefully everybody had a really good holiday with their friends and family and got to enjoy some nice relaxing time. Today, I am bringing you the case of Carrie Swenson, which I actually heard about Carrie Swenson a couple |
| 0:42.5 | years ago, and I decided to look into it. It's pretty crazy. In 1984, 22-year-old Carrie |
| 0:50.9 | Swenson would go running on a mountain trail in Yellowstone National Park, |
| 0:56.7 | where she would disappear. Carrie grew up with her parents, Bob and Janet, and her two siblings. |
| 1:04.1 | She had a sister, Joanna, and a brother named Paul. The family moved to Bozeman, Montana, |

| 2:27.1 | Ranch in Big Sky, Montana, where she would live on the grounds and work while training |
| 2:32.1 | six days a week. She also enjoyed spending her spare time in the barns where she met a rancher named |
