Summary

Up and Vanished presents... Status: Untraced. In 2016, survivalist and world traveler Justin Alexander went missing in the Parvati Valley while on a spiritual trek into the Himalayan Mountains. Justin was someone that Neil knew, he was a reader, a fan and a friend. While the circumstances of his disappearance point to murder, a chilling message he left behind throws everything into question. True crime newcomer Liam Luxon was introduced to Justin’s story 4 years after he vanished, and he embarks on an investigation into the case. “Status-Untraced” is a 10-episode journey that explores the secrets the Parvati Valley holds, the stones left unturned, and what really happened to Justin Alexander.
