Vanished
An Investigation into the Wilderness Where Logic Fails
What if the forest could swallow you whole — without a trace, without a sound, without a reason?
In Vanished, field researcher and wilderness specialist Timothy D explores one of the most chilling mysteries of the natural world: unexplained disappearances in the wild. Drawing on years of firsthand investigation across North America — from dense Ontario boreal corridors to the shadowed ridgelines of the Pacific Northwest — this book pieces together the stories that don't fit cleanly into search-and-rescue models or rational explanations.
These aren't tales of simple misadventure. They are cases where footprints stop in soft ground, where gear is left undisturbed, and where individuals are found — or not — in impossible places. Through ranger logs, witness interviews, and haunting survivor accounts, Vanished tracks the patterns too strange to ignore.
Equal parts investigative journalism, wilderness survival study, and psychological inquiry, this is not a book of answers — but of questions that refuse to stay buried.
If you've ever felt watched in the woods, stared too long at a topographic map, or wondered what lies beyond the edge of the trail... this is your trailhead.
