Summary

In September 2021, an experienced outdoorsman, vanished mysteriously during a solo hike in Yosemite's rugged Hetch Hetchy wilderness. Last seen above O’Shaughnessy Dam, he intended to fish at remote Lake Eleanor. Despite massive searches, no trace was ever found—not even his bright red kayak. Did he fall victim to hidden waters, dense wilderness, or something else entirely? Join us this week as we investigate the disappearance of Joel Thomazin.

Mark your calendars!  We have a special multi hour live stream coming up on the evening of 4/23/25.  Stay tuned for more details!
