Veteran Park Ranger Vanishes in Chiricahua National Monument

On a quiet afternoon in January 1980, veteran park ranger Paul Fugate set out on a routine patrol in Arizona's Chiricahua National Monument, promising to return shortly. He was never seen again. Despite extensive searches, not a single trace of him was found. Was it a tragic accident in the rugged wilderness, or did something more sinister happen? Join us as we revisit the mysterious disappearance of Paul Fugate. (Episode 114)

We first covered this case back on December 1, 2018. At that time, no other podcasts had covered Paul's case and very few shows were even focusing on wilderness disappearances. Since then, the wilderness disappearances sub-genre has exploded with amazing shows like Park Predators & National Park After Dark. With our 6 year anniversary coming up fast, we thought it would be fun to redo our first episode from the ground up, so we ditched the original show notes and came into the case fresh, with new perspectives on what might have happened. Hope you enjoy the episode and let us know how EP 114 compares with EP1! We can't thank you enough for sticking with us for 6 years and we're looking forward to many more years to come!
