About this episode

The episode investigates three cold cases of men who disappeared in Death Valley National Park between May 2019 and May 2022.

May 2019 to May 2022: three men travel alone into the vast desert backcountry of Death Valley National Park; one to cache water in a remote canyon, another to check on a vehicle at an isolated hot spring, and a third who never returns from a campground on the park’s edge. Each disappearance triggers a search. None of them are found. What do these cases reveal about risk, scale, and survival in one of the most unforgiving landscapes in North America? Join us this week as we investigate three Death Valley National Park Cold Cases. Cases covered: Rolin Bruno, Robert Alan "Bob" Wildoner, & Peter Harootunian.
