Pacific Northwest Missing Persons Project
Each year 2,400 people, on average, get lost in the wilderness in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. 90% of those that become lost are found alive, 8 % are located deceased, and the other 2% simply vanish without a trace.
Our host Tanner Hoskins, co-Founder of Pacific Northwest Bigfoot Search and Executive Director at Pacific Northwest Missing Persons Project (PNWMPP) shares the mysterious true stories of adults and children who inexplicably disappeared while recreating in the great outdoors of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana.
Tanner will share the stories of these missing persons as well as our own expeditions into the area these people were last seen or known to be.
We hope that by telling these stories we can help foster a community driven in bringing answers and closure to these grieving families.
Tanner will also share stories from our organization's own personal expeditions into the wilderness in search of signs of Sasquatch activity and following-up on reports of reported bigfoot activity.

"Scent and Service" with Jensen Huffman (C.H.A.I.S.)
In this powerful episode of the PNWMPP Podcast, host Tanner Hoskins sits down with his good friend and elite K9 handler Jensen Huffman — owner of Huffman K9 Obedience and Executive Director of CHAIS (Charon Human Advocacy and Intervention Services). With more than 20 years of experience training and deploying working dogs across North America, Jensen shares his journey from traditional obedience training to leading a trauma-informed, mission-ready nonprofit changing the face of modern search and rescue.
Together, Tanner and Jensen dig deep into the origins of CHAIS, what makes their K9 teams unique, and why emotional intelligence in the field matters just as much as tactical readiness. From hurricane deployments to high-stakes human trafficking recoveries, this conversation pulls no punches — tackling tough topics like human trafficking, disaster deployments, self-deploying, and SAR volunteer fitness.
You'll hear about the unforgettable tracks of K9s Jax and Blue, the pivotal Anthony Mancuso case, and why specialized training at TEEX could be a game-changer for CHAIS’s disaster response capabilities. This is more than a podcast episode — it's a call to action to support CHAIS and their mission. The world needs more nonprofits like CHAIS.
If you care about search and rescue, trauma-informed care, and the bond between handlers and heroic K9s — don’t miss this one.
