11: Samuel Boehlke: Crater Lake, Oregon

At the tender age of 8, Samuel Boehlke embarked on a road trip with his father from Portland, Oregon, to Crater Lake, Oregon, in October 2006. Following a day filled with hiking and sightseeing, the father-son duo engaged in a playful game of hide and seek. However, as the time came to leave, Sammy sprinted up a hill into the woods and mysteriously disappeared.
Authorities launched a thorough search effort that spanned a full week, enduring sub-freezing temperatures. Despite their efforts, no clues surfaced. The lingering questions surround Sammy's fate: Did he lose his way in the woods, succumbing to the elements? Could he have somehow found his way to the lake and met a tragic end by drowning? Or does the mystery take a more sinister turn?
Sammy's case is not an isolated incident, as numerous mysterious disappearances and deaths have been reported near Crater Lake. Many speculate that myths and legends may play a role in these unsettling occurrences.
Listen as we dive into Crater Lake, the case of Samuel Boehlke, and how to stay alive on vacation.
