Release Date: April 16, 2025

Mount Rainier stands as one of America’s most breathtaking — and dangerous — natural landmarks. In this chilling episode, we examine three haunting disappearances that occurred on its icy slopes.

First, we dive into the 2010 vanishing of Eric Lewis — a seasoned climber who was roped in with his team, only to vanish near the summit without a sound, a footprint, or a trace. What could cause a man to disappear under such tightly controlled conditions?

Then, we revisit the mysterious case of MIT student Zachary Weston, who disappeared in 2005 after a solo hike to Snow Lake. No gear, no tracks, no answers.

Finally, we recount the heartbreaking 2020 disappearance of Vincent Renaldo Djie, a young man from Indonesia whose solo hike toward Mildred Point triggered one of the largest search efforts in the park’s history.

These cases raise unsettling questions: Are these simply accidents in harsh terrain? Or does something else linger in the fog-shrouded wilderness of Mount Rainier?

Tune in as we explore theories, discuss strange patterns, and honor the lives of those still missing.
