Beyond the Last Footprint - Vol. 2

Some people vanish from the trail. The questions they leave behind remain.

Beyond the Last Footprint - Vol. 2 explores thirteen real disappearances in remote wilderness areas-cases in which searches ended, evidence faded, and the final known movements of the missing still raise unanswered questions.

Drawing on documented records, search reports, witness accounts, maps, and available evidence, Sebastian Karcz reconstructs each case step by step, following the known timeline from the last confirmed sighting to the searches that followed. Original illustrations and case maps help readers visualize the terrain, key locations, and search areas connected to each disappearance.

Among the cases examined are Charles McCullar at Crater Lake, Paul Braxton Fugate in the Chiricahua Mountains, Garrett Bardsley in the High Uintas, Samantha Sayers on Vesper Peak, and Cian McLaughlin in Grand Teton National Park-along with eight other unresolved wilderness disappearances spanning the United States, Australia, and New Zealand.

Written for readers fascinated by missing-person cases, wilderness mysteries, search-and-rescue investigations, and unresolved disappearances, this volume focuses on what is documented, what searchers discovered, and what remains unexplained long after the trail went cold.

This is the second volume in the Beyond the Last Footprint series, continuing the investigation of real cases in which the wilderness became the last known place a person was seen-and where, years later, the questions still remain.
