Summary

This week, Cassie's voice is out of commission so instead of a new episode, we're offering a sneak peak into one of our Outsider Bonus episodes, previously only available on through subscription platforms. Randy Morgenson was a man destined to become a park ranger - growing up in Yosemite and summiting extreme peaks as a child, his love for the outdoors was innate. When he accepted the job in the backcountry in Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks, he quickly became legendary for his ability to find missing people. But when he went missing, a massive search effort ensued. Despite the outpouring of effort, to this day there are still many unanswered questions.For a full list of our sources, visit npadpodcast.com/episodesFor the latest NPAD updates, group travel details, merch and more, follow us on npadpodcast.com and our socials:Instagram: @‌nationalparkafterdarkTikTok: @‌nationalparkafterdarkSupport the show by becoming an Outsider and receive ad free listening, bonus content and more on Patreon or Apple Podcasts.
