Each year 2,400 people, on average, get lost in the wilderness in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. 90% of those that become lost are found alive, 8 % are located deceased, and the other 2% simply vanish without a trace.

Our host Tanner Hoskins, co-Founder of Pacific Northwest Bigfoot Search and Executive Director at Pacific Northwest Missing Persons Project (PNWMPP) shares the mysterious true stories of adults and children who inexplicably disappeared while recreating in the great outdoors of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana.
Tanner will share the stories of these missing persons as well as our own expeditions into the area these people were last seen or known to be.
We hope that by telling these stories we can help foster a community driven in bringing answers and closure to these grieving families.

Tanner will also share stories from our organization's own personal expeditions into the wilderness in search of signs of Sasquatch activity and following-up on reports of reported bigfoot activity.

  • Eddie Harris, Scott Smith, and the Kim Family (Oregon)
    Oct 9 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode of the Pacific Northwest Missing Persons Project Podcast, host Tanner Hoskins investigates the mysterious disappearance of Eddie Curtis Hair and Scott Jon Smith, two longtime friends from Beaverton, Oregon, who vanished after heading out on a simple outdoor trip in mid-September 2025.

    Their red 2005 Jeep Wrangler (Oregon plate 494 QKW) has yet to be found, leaving behind only questions and heartache for their families.

    Tanner explores the timeline, terrain, and investigative details surrounding their disappearance — while drawing lessons from the tragic 2006 case of James Kim, whose determination to save his stranded family in the Oregon wilderness became one of the most haunting survival stories in modern history.

    This episode blends search insight, field experience, and emotional storytelling to shed light on how quickly ordinary adventures in the Pacific Northwest can turn into life-and-death situations — and what we can all do to stay prepared, aware, and connected.

    “Before you go recreating in the great outdoors of the Pacific Northwest and beyond, please become familiar with the missing persons cases in the area you plan to recreate in. You never know when you might locate something that brings answers or closure to a grieving family.” – Tanner Hoskins

    If you have any information about the disappearance of Eddie Hair and Scott Smith, please contact Beaverton Police Detective Dan Maurer at 503-526-2280.

  • Vanished in the Canadian Wilds: The Cases of Howard Metacat, Benjamin Laboucan, Gavin Edkins, and William Bereziuk
    Sep 24 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode, we journey deep into the remote wilderness of Alberta, Canada, where four men vanished without a trace. Howard Metacat, Benjamin Laboucan, Gavin Edkins, and William Bereziuk each disappeared under mysterious circumstances—hunting, traveling, or simply moving through the unforgiving northern landscape. Their stories span decades, from the 1970s through the 1990s, yet all remain unsolved.

    We explore the harsh terrain, unpredictable weather, and search efforts that left more questions than answers. What happened to these men? Were their disappearances accidents, encounters with the elements, or something more elusive? Through the lens of the Doe Network case files, we reflect on the haunting silence of Canada’s wilderness and the families still waiting for answers.

    Join us as we bring these names and stories back into the light, examining the enduring mystery of those who step into the forest and never return.

  • Between Survival and Silence
    Sep 4 2025

    In this episode, we explore two men who entered the wilderness under very different circumstances—one who fought to live, and one who vanished into the shadows.

    First, we follow the incredible survival story of Ralph Sawyer, a 52-year-old mountain biker from Gresham, Oregon, who disappeared in Mount Hood National Forest and was missing for six long days. Against the odds, Ralph found his way back, relying on instinct, grit, and the simple decision to follow a creek downhill. His story is a reminder that preparation and perseverance can mean the difference between life and death.

    Then we shift to the ongoing manhunt for Travis Caleb Decker, a decorated military veteran accused of murdering his three young daughters before disappearing into the backcountry of Washington. With his survival training and ability to live off-grid, Decker has evaded capture for months. Authorities now believe he may be receiving help, and the case has sparked debate over law enforcement strategy, mental health, and reforms to the Amber Alert system.

    Two men. Two outcomes. One truth: the wilderness doesn’t lie.
