For the 2 year old who covered 12 miles- theres a good case that a mountain lion (what he interpreted as a kitty cat) had mistaken him as a cub or kitten and delivered him to a safe zone. Sometimes with cats what you find is when a mother loses her own kittens in a state of sadness and motherhood hormones, she adopt...
It's such a shame that Wendigoon went missing after his trip to the ocean. Leaving only his button down 50 miles off the shore, and his goatee sitting perfectly shaven 20 feet from his car. EDIT: Aight Mr. Goon, where you at, it's been 12 days ;-;
One of the most disturbing theories about this I’ve heard is that in a lot of cases the parents are purposely abandoning their children as way of legally killing them, since going missing in a forest is so easy and happens so frequently. The number of missing children who also have disabilities is depressingly high.
I have a theory. The guy died sitting up, was covered in several feet of snow, the snow preserved the legs and body in a sitting position, the snow eventually melts, the upper torso is exposed and gets eaten by animals, the legs stay covered in snow longer and so aren't eaten and scattered like the rest of the body,...
The last story was heartbreaking. Watching your own child walk for, unbeknownst to you, possibly his last moments, disappear behind a tree line and to never return, has to be the most gut wrenching feeling imaginable.
