When an elderly World War II veteran and his loyal dog embark on a cross-country road trip,

all goes smoothly until they reach the big lonely,

a remote stretch of highway in the northern Nevada desert suspected to be a hunting ground for serial killers.

The unexplained disappearance of man and dog launches an enormous search that yields nothing but mystery in this episode of Last Seen Alive.

Thanks for listening to Last Seen Alive.

I'm your host, Leah, crime analyst by day and true crime storyteller by night.

And as always, I'm your co-host, Scott.

This is the revisited and enhanced edition of one of our early episodes,

which features the Unsolved Case of Patrick Carnes. The original edition was recorded in 2020,

and we've revisited and re-recorded an episode on his case in 2025. As I'm sure those of you who've been listening since the early days of Last Scene Alive have noticed, our production

and audio quality

have improved significantly over the years. Lately, we've been working on remaking our earlier

episodes. When we originally recorded them, we were doing the best we knew how at the time. However,

our best wasn't the best, and we've learned a lot since then. We want to honor these victims by

telling their stories with the production quality they deserve. So, we've learned a lot since then. We want to honor these victims by telling their stories with the production quality they deserve.

So we've been completely remaking all of our early episodes, including this one.

Yeah, I will say, as you know, this case is one that lives rent-free in my head.

While we're driving, I'm always keeping my eyes out at every 18-wheeler we pass, just holding

onto any kind of hope.

Yeah, I think about this case, too, as if I'm going to be casually driving down the interstate

and see what has eluded the FBI for, you know, more than a decade.

Like, to the point where I even have been attempting chat GPT just to get any kind of information I can get for it.
