Lost Hunter: Ronald Gray's disappearance in Idaho's Bitterroot Wilderness

Lost Hunter: Ronald Gray's disappearance in Idaho's Bitterroot Wilderness


On September 19, 2008, Ronald Scott Gray, a seasoned 62-year-old retired Marine and Massachusetts State Police captain, vanished during an elk hunt in Idaho’s rugged Selway-Bitterroot wilderness. Despite extensive survival training, he disappeared without a trace. His backpack, found near Highline Lake, provided no definitive clues. Unusual behavior noted by companions hinted at possible disorientation or psychological factors. Harsh weather and challenging terrain complicated the intensive search. His mysterious disappearance remains unsolved, highlighting how even the most experienced outdoorsman can become lost in vast, unforgiving wilderness.

Note: Mike is recovering from a serious illness and had some issues with his voice this episode. We apologize for the listening inconvenience and hope for his speedy recovery by next episode!
