Hi, park enthusiasts. I'm your host, Delia Diambra. And the case I'm going to tell you about today is one of those missing person stories that almost feels like it could be a book, except it isn't. It takes place in two different recreation spaces in California, the Sierra National Forest and Yosemite National Park. And if you know anything about the American West, you know that those are two very large natural areas full of woods, mountains, cliffs, and of course, predatory wildlife.

For this episode, I was able to obtain more than 130 pages of law enforcement records, which were super helpful in deciphering

that this case is decades old, but it's not. It happened in July 2020, so pretty recently. Some of the theories that

investigators have chased down range from foul play to the paranormal and everywhere in between.

campsite in the Johnson Meadows area of Sierra National

Forest near the border of Yosemite National Park when they found several suspicious things.

The woman told authorities that when her group had gone by the seemingly abandoned campsite,
