Summary

July 21, 1996, a NPS Backcountry ranger with 28 years of experience sets off from his remote outpost, on a multi-day hike in the Kings Canyon National Park wilderness.  When he fails to radio in, a massive search kicks off.  Five years later, a gruesome discovery is made.  Join us this week as we investigate the disappearance of Randy Morgenson.  (Episode 81)

Note on this episode: We recorded this episode in our new, unfinished studio space, so the audio quality might not sound as good as it normally does.  We are working to resolve this issue.
