Summary

On July 13, 2018, Paul and his wife were vacationing in California to celebrate their 26th wedding anniversary.  Before wrapping up their trip, Paul wanted to take one last day hike through Joshua Tree National Park, hoping to get some good shots of the parks Big Horn Sheep.  After several hours had passed without Paul's return, his wife alerted the authorities and a massive search kicked off shortly after.  Join us this week as we revisit the disappearance and eventual recovery of Paul Miller in Joshua Tree National Park.  (Episode 106)  

This was the second case we covered on the podcast back on December 16, 2018.  We have re-recorded the episode with some updated content, a couple clips from our original episode, and updated information on the recovery of Paul Miller.  To all the OG listeners who have been here since Episode #2, thank you for sticking with us!
