SO EP:731 Bigfoot and the Missing Boy

Brian sits down with Steve of Steve Searches to talk Bigfoot research, drone mapping, and going solo in the wild. Steve traces his fascination back to the Patterson–Gimlin film and The Legend of Boggy Creek, plus years of solo camping on a Montana farm. After military service, he built a career in drafting and mapmaking—eventually integrating drones into terrain mapping, a skill he now uses in Sasquatch research.

Midway through the episode, Brian pauses to provide a detailed update on the disappearance of Kyron Horman (June 4, 2010, Skyline Elementary, Portland).

He outlines the timeline, investigative shifts, focus on stepmother Terri Horman, reported inconsistencies, and alleged murder-for-hire claims. With renewed review efforts under a new DA in 2025—including digitization and planned FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit involvement—the case remains open. A $50,000 reward is still being offered for credible information.

Back in the forest, Steve shares experiences from Gifford Pinchot National Forest and Mount St. Helens, including a 2008 incident near Ape Cave involving sudden silence and a strong animal odor. Around 2020–2021, he connected with regional researchers, began pro bono drone work, attended Squatch festivals, and launched Steve Searches (YouTube, Facebook, and blog) in 2023. He’s since collaborated with Michelle Heaton, the Sweet Home Oregon Sasquatch Research Group, and Sasquatch Highway.

Steve describes his evidence-first approach—mapping, measuring, documenting, and presenting findings without firm conclusions—while remaining open to high-strangeness elements. He also discusses solo field safety and recounts intense 2023–2024 encounters, including loud rock clacks, nighttime footsteps around his tent, and a large limb crashing across a road as he packed up—an event that ended the trip.

Find Steve at Steve Searches (YouTube & Facebook), stevesearches.com, and his new project Planet Sasquatch, a developing hub for gear reviews and shared field techniques.
