WA WA - Glen 'Austin' Oldfield, 39, Skamania County, 17 Sept 2015

Glenn “Austin” Oldfield, 39, had texted his girlfriend on Sept. 17. Oldfield, who is from Louisville, Ky., was planning to spend two weeks camping in Southwest Washington, according to a sheriff’s news release.

Two days later, two hunters talked with him near Lone Butte, approximately 31 miles north of Carson. Oldfield told the hunters he was lost, but when they attempted to show him the way to the road, he turned and ran the opposite direction.

Searchers later found his car and a campsite, but he was not there. Over the weekend, about 50 searchers combed the area, according to Sheriff Dave Brown.

In the fall of 2015, Austin vanished in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest

After hearing years of reports about people who seem to disappear into the wild, I decided to dig a little deeper.

On August 6, 2016 I set out to find Austin Oldfield, who has been missing for 10 months. Austin left Kentucky for a month long camping trip in the Cascades Mountains, not far from Portland, Oregon. Before he vanished, two hunters witnessed him acting strangely.

I trace his last known steps and set up a grid to comb the forest for clues. His disappearance caused me to ask- Why did Austin disappear? What where his motives? Where might he have gone. How can I avoid hazards on my own adventures?
