Hey everyone, I just want to get ahead of the inevitable questions I'll get regarding this video. I'm not changing anything about the general format this channel has traditionally done. I just decided that this was the most effective/efficient way to go through the content of the FBI's Martin files. I may also do some future videos this way when it comes to discussing topics related to missing people. I'm always happy to hear your feedback. Thanks for supporting the channel! TME
Your channel is super fire bro keep it up I always watch you for the deep dark and mysterious 💪🏾💪🏾
Dude you have my full support heck I want to at least buy you a coffee!!! Please open an option like that
wow there you are thnx
I liked this format 😁
many going to this format, fine with me
So heartbreaking to imagine having a child and them going missing, only to spend the rest of your life with absolutely no closure. That must be the most devastating feeling
You're right. David Paulides interviewed Dennis Martin's father, and he said it destroyed him & his wife's life forever and that was many yrs after Dennis had gone missing...
:(
Add on top of that. People asking you about Bigfoot taking your son, or aliens abducting him. All you want to do his find him.
@@justincovert6943 Exactly! That's why we need to use a great deal of discernment in every aspect of our lives--I would only trust people with a PROVEN track record for something as serous as this:)
@@MarshaDawn20 I was about to make the same comment. It makes me sick to think of all those "psychics" bothering him and then he turns around and annoys the feds, the last thing anyone needs.
Best missing person channel on YT. Honest, thorough and unpretentious as a true investigating journalist should be.
Totally agree! Finally found one that hits all the buttons!
I watch both TME and Missing 411, David Paulides, both are great channels, Mr David has been doing this for decades and I do think he is deeper in the subject, being fact based and allowing people to come to their own conclusions.
@@metwattsAgreed 💯
YES, this dude is going to be super successful if he keeps these high quality videos up !
I agree. He needs to up his game to two videos a week. 😉
I’m a retired FBI Special Agent. I retired in 2018. I, like many, have a great deal of criticism of the FBI’s management in light of recent events. That said, the Special Agent force of the FBI are highly competent and thorough. I think the released report confirms that. In addition, laws passed in the 1990s forward have facilitated not only the FBI but all law enforcement to have better communication with victims and families. This victim’s rights legislation was not in place prior to the early and mid 90s. The need for victim’s rights was clearly demonstrated in this case.
An unrelated question, what's your take on the recently released Twitter Files? Genuinely curious, thank you!! 👍✌
@@firstnamelastname6216 Silence...
Competent eh? The FBI is only good for being used as political weapons against certain political philosophies the powerful do not like. Look at the history of abuse these scum tyrants have used on certain "dissidents"(MLK, etc), yay go FBI.....
The hardest part about being a federal agent is telling your friends & family that you're gay.
@@melgibsonafter5beers329😂
This is why I watch this guy. He goes based on things that are documented and leaves speculation alone. Great video
He is very respectful and not going overboard with his assumptions or thoughts about the cases . That's why I watch him..
Except , stupidly gives the corrupt fbi the benefot of the doubt. When its been proven , they allow certain crimes , especially sex trafficking
The Shape🙄
Why is 60 year old information being redacted. Who/what is that important? That’s a valid question.
@@CornPopsDood probably because it wasn't a priority for them to release it because they knew it wouldn't help solve anything
The FBI and some people probably found/find it ridiculous that his dad was suspicious because of small details, but imagine your child is missing, under crazy circumstances, and you feel people aren’t taking it as seriously as they should. You would go insane. I would probably end up in jail if my daughter went missing because I’d be kicking in doors if I felt the police were slacking. There’s no way I could sit around and wait for paperwork and have to deal with “oh we can’t investigate this guy because of this technicality” or some shit.
100% right.
That's probably why the feds didn't want the report out , as it makes them look lazy, callous and incompetent.
I have no doubt that in a similar situation I would be worse than Mr. Martin.
@@jimmyraythomason1 the movie "Prisoners" was a blueprint.
You are right, and your reaction is totally understandable. But you must remember one thing, imagine you are suspected of doing something, but you are innocent. Would you not be glad when people go the proper law channels to try to prove your involved instead of kicking down your door and kicking your butt? Is the law not there to avoid such things? But man i get your point, if it’s my child i would be considering the same. But that does not mean it’s the best way.
Poor father was clinging so desperately to his son being alive he was willing to believe anything that gave him hope. Great video.
This is the only Missing Persons channel I watch because you stick to the facts, are unbiased, and you do mention theories but you make it clear that they are theories. Very clear delivery, also. No nonsense music!
And it's nice that he isn't trying to sell a million things while talking about family's most traumatic days of their lives.
@@HellyeahRook oh please.
@@Your_Entire_Reality_Is_A_Lie No one cares that you lack empathy, go be an edge lord somewhere else.
Try... trace evidence ...they are as good as it gets
@@Your_Entire_Reality_Is_A_Lie What's your problem?
They started looking for Dennis so quickly, that I just don't understand how he could have gotten so far away that they couldn't find him, on his own.
If he did get lost given what some people account of the area he could have gotten disoriented and went in the wrong direction given how the environment reverberates sounds. It also could have been a bit long say 5 mins or more given the situation at hand. It is easy to see how he could have gotten lost by that point
Ever watch/have a six year old? They may be short. But they move quickly!
Was he even there...most of these missing 411s are staged, that's why dogs can't find scent, nothing is found... c'mon ....LIKE THAT HUNTER, TOM . IN NY, YRS AGO..HE WAS NEVER EVER THERE!!!!!!
I agree. You think he would have immediately responded to hearing his name being called. 😮
Interesting. This is the first time I heard that keyes stated he saw a man and not a bigfoot.
Man, this case is scary, for Dennis was gone, just like that, a moment later.
Well, whatever the reson. R.I.P. Dennis
( unless hes still out there, somewhere.)
I recall a junior park ranger wanting to investigate a particular smell, he thought it emanated from a dead body but was told by his boss it was probably from a dead bird and to stick to the plan. It really bothered him because he knew it wasn't a dead bird, now we'll never know either way. The go to channel for these cases,I appreciate your work.
Okay?
The bosses always roughshod over juniors.
If the guy was so certain about this, it was his duty to disobey. Inasmuch as he didn’t, I conclude that his conviction was lacking.
He only wanted to seem important and garner attention.
It seems like anyone giving the fbi “a pat on the back” these days is very naive. To say the least.
Well yeah that was in the first video…🤔
I have been involved with search and rescue/recovery of several missing children cases in the mountains of Utah. I can tell you the anguish of family, especially the parent's of the child, is indescribable. One child I helped search for was never found.
Not having closure is painful and arduous for family members as well as searchers. I often think of the boy that is now lost forever.
I can only hope families of missing loved ones may find some measure of peace; but, I can only hope.
Thank you for your channel.
Glad you are helping people. Is there anything strange you noticed or something worth to share? May be a link to higher officials or a complete orgasm harvesting thing ? Just curious to know the on ground thing.
Mike - any cases at Blind Frog Ranch now a tv show - 'Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch' ?
@@glory5918 I've only been involved in cases in the West side of the High Unitas.
Since that ranch in particular is in Vernal I'd be interested to know if the land used to be Ute Tribal land or not. In my opinion it's certainly not Aztec. I would guess if it is, or used to be on Native land there might be a connection with the things that go on there that seem otherworldly or worldly (gold seeking).
Thank you for your service. It’s not a job just anyone could do.
If this was my kid missing I would bug the hell out of any organization I thought would be able to help, too. And if the FBI showed up but wouldn't investigate I'd be incensed. The incorrect details would fuel my suspicion and fear, too. The unbearable stress of this situation, the utter lack of answers, would make it impossible for me to ever let it go.
Exactly! And why would the FBI expect otherwise or get irritated with Mr. Martin.
FBI = family berating idiots.
I think Dennis’ dad did. He tried everything to find his boy. But, if they won’t tell you anything, and keep pushing you away, what do you do? I know Dennis’s dad never stopped looking.
It's really sad that this child was likely taken for horrible reasons. The park ranger smelling something dead and being told not to investigate. The ominous phone calls to Mr Key to stop inquiring about the case. The "coincidence" of the family that befriended the Martins having the same name. I don't believe in coincidences anymore. And their child telling Dennis to go off by himself because they wanted to hide. Secret society members written all over this.
@@1i1HrnPrpPplEater Exactly. FBI getting cranky with me for being completely distraught over my missing kid - that would cement my suspicions.
Never knowing what happened to your child while the FBI (who work for the people) won't disclose anything to the family is a pain nobody deserves.
The FBI is completely corrupt and partison. Fk em.
Sometimes it’s a lot more obvious in hindsight and having all the information together as opposed to pieces of it, if the FBI knew something there’s a reason they didn’t tell the family. Whether that’s bc they couldn’t prove it, who knows but I can’t imagine them saying they know but don’t have any hard evidence bc that would make the parent feel terrible and I can’t imagine them telling the parent that as well as the name of the suspect they’re unable to prove did it bc that might be extremely problematic. It’s just a bad situation and it sucks bc they obviously couldn’t investigate if there wasn’t evidence of a crime even tho the kid went missing and that to you and me should be enough to investigate. I think they did the right thing chasing the lead from the convict, I think they should’ve asked the possible suspect if he would take a polygraph, maybe they did or didn’t, but either way they were obviously stuck and could only do so much. That’s what needs to change, and I’m sure many agents would welcome that.
Did you even watch the video? The fbi had nothing to say and had to deal with a distraught father who wanted them involved but they had no jurisdiction. It is also likely anything they would say to him would have been leaked to the press potentially contaminating an investigation. The father couldnt accept the most obvious explanation and wanted it to be something it wasnt, the fbi behaved perfectly correctly in this case.
@@gordonshumway5933 The other weird part? most of what the FBI knew... is already public info. Then there's that one guy in the prison.... But he's not really a suspect now.
Rewatch the video Taylor.
I mean, if you know ANYTHING about the FBI, you'd know that not only do their documents not settle anything, but that Dennis's father's concerns of corruption or malpractice by the FBI shouldn't be taken lightly.
Word
The feds cia media high finance 2 party system muh democracy ! Yea at this point we live in clown world and deserve nuclear compensation for our giving degenerate groomers our children and countries
The FBI is corrupt and needs to be dissolved!
Trump Lost trump arrested on 37 Federal Felony Charges Espionage Act trump found guilty of Rape-Defamation and Sexual Battery...
& if you know Anything about people then you’d know you get people that are completely full of shit🤷♂️
A very sad story regardless of how Dennis Martin vanished. I feel for the family not knowing where their little boy ended up and how he got there.
It's terribly sad when a child goes missing,an utter nightmare for the parents. He was playing hide and seek,a young mind has a limited grasp of navigation. Just one wrong turn, panic, another wrong turn , and soon hopelessly lost. The hell is in the not knowing,I feel incredibly bad for his poor father and other parents suffering the same fate. Outstanding video once again.
I couldn’t imagine how terrifying it would be lost in the forest at night. The sounds the darkness the coldness the confusion every little noise around you with no shelter to hide you from what’s out there.. such a terrifying thing to imagine. I feel horrible for anyone who has been lost in the woods before. Everyone stay safe out there!
It would be beyond terrifying, especially for a kid 😞 I used to camp out alone on my own property not too far away from my house and one night I heard a cougar or bobcat (they sound exactly like a woman screaming for her life) then I heard an animal walking around my tent and I was terrified. Never camped alone again, and that was only on my property. I think if I did end up in the forest alone I’d climb a tree to sleep in. At least being up off the ground would feel somewhat comforting.
That's what happened to 12 year old Jared Negrete. He was with his Boy Scout troop and was lagging behind. The troop leader left him behind "because of course, it was more important to summit and not slow down or change their plans" than to worry about the safety of a child in the woods. He has never been found btw.
I’m a 51 year old woman, born and lived my whole life in the outer Chattanooga, TN area and in years past, have been throughout much of the GSM park. There certainly *are areas* within the park where you instinctually understand not let down your guard.. it’s somewhat difficult to explain, but it’s much like a creeping feeling of being watched, or more correctly, it’s a feeling of dread.. places where we never spent much time, let alone camping/sleeping.
And this was noticed and discussed decades before Dennis Martin case was known to any of us.
Chattanoogan as well and there’s even areas not far from the city where I don’t let my guard down. I suppose it’s a leftover instinct from when we were still prey to certain creatures
@@totallynotalpharius2283are you serious? Do you enjoy a nice baked potato 🥔 with sour cream and chives? A dern chive?
This is scary stuff....wow
My respect for you is complete!
Thank you for going after the facts and the truth and not a quick buck. Like certain others! You are the real thing!
I've followed this case in earnest since I first learned of its existence from an early David Paulides video. I have also viewed many similar cases of strange disappearances. It is about time the FBI files were released, as their secrecy has only fueled some of the more bizarre theories. I know of several cases of children with autism who have gone missing in a similar way and the one thing that stands out above all, is that Dennis Martin likely had autism. Furthermore, children with autism will invariably hide when lost and NOT respond to searchers. They will intentionally avoid being located as a single-minded pursuit and this makes detection almost impossible, even under the best of circumstances. I'm now satisfied that Dennis got lost, hid from search parties and died as a result of exposure. This area is vast and full of sinkholes, chasms and areas that are not accessible without evidence of the subject being in any of those places. Great work on this video.
What makes you think Dennis had autism?
So sad to read of Mr. Martin's continuing belief that Dennis was still alive somewhere. I guess we can't understand this type of behavior until we ourselves are put in the same situation. I have a son and can't imagine how I'd deal with him going missing. RIP Mr. Martin. Thanks for this well-thought-out video which contained a lot of info I'd never heard before.
This is consistently the best missing persons channel on TH-cam. I admire your dedication to facts and evidence over more salacious theories and conjecture. Keep up the amazing work!
BTW... for this being your 3rd or 4th time in front of the camera - I give you a A+ brother!!! I feel welcomed and I dont feel any hesitation or nervousness from you. You are very fluid and natural! Keep it up!
This case always gave me the creeps; just something about the whole thing.
@72NVernon💚🔫 This channel has a great balance of mystery plus plausible explanations I love it
@72NVernon💚🔫 I also wrote a song about this case - th-cam.com/video/3MzkyjvzV84/w-d-xo.html
His kid was right there and suddenly he's gone forever, completely terrifying.
@72NVernon💚🔫 i enjoyed them but I dunno I felt for sometime they have lost their mojo their early stuff was better
Just want to thank you for a seriously great channel exploring these stories, Dennis Martin's disappearance has long been unexplained and now become 'folklore ' or 'urban legend '. It's important for all that too have gone missing that they stay in our thoughts
horrendous case...The poor small boy with unknown fate, the grieving heart-broken father...
Your coverage of these cases is respectful and professional. others are either lazy in their investigation or intentionally misleading. Both are equally heinous , especially when speaking of someone's lost relation.
I'm sorry but this is my third comment but you are the only person that has told the truth about Dennis Martin case without putting in facts that don't exist. Thank you 👏
How are you doing Connie?
I have every sympathy with Mr Martin, who knows what it is really like to be a father of a missing boy unless a person actually experiences it in reality !!!!
hard to imagine what he was going thru but the man was going almost crazy because of the case, only he knows the pain
Mr Martin died a few years back.
@@conveyor2 I know
I want to thank you for your hard work on this subject. I also wanted to tell you as a former naval special forces operator a 6 mile walk is easily accomplished in 90 minutes. I've had to do it many times. If I was in a hurry I can do it and a little over 60 minutes. This might not mean much but I do believe that the FBI was incorrect in thinking the distance couldn't be traveled in that time.
A 6 mile walk is easily accomplished in 90 minutes....... ASSUMING that the 6 mile walk is not interfered by severe and potentially debilitating weather. And ASSUMING that a significant gain in elevation is required, while traversing through heavy underbrush, etc. And ASSUMING that a straight line, or near straight line walk is possible due to no geographical impediments such as cliffs or severe degrees on hillsides or drop offs. And ASSUMING that the person walking is in decent shape and able to maintain a near straight sense of direction. Please consider such assertions in the future.
Not sure why it wasn't mentioned here, but in the first video on this case, someone (I believe the father?) said that he and someone else hiked from where Dennis went missing, to where Mr. Key saw the man, in 90 minutes. So it's definitely not impossible.
A slightly disable boy, playing hide and seek in a vastly remote location, ends up missing... call me a realist, or just logical, but he obviously just got lost.
Great reporting. This case always made me feel so sad. I have a daughter who is Autistic, I could totally see her running into the woods and getting lost. As such, we always keep a very close eye on her. I also feel for the father; I understand why the FBI found him to be annoying, but if my child was missing I would literally believe anyone who said they knew where they were. What a terrible, sad story.
I've heard that autistic children will avoid detection once they have run off into a wilderness area. It sounds like this may have happened to you as well. When Dennis went to "hide" during hide & seek, he took the task way too seriously it seems. Such a sad story.
@@eucliduschaumeau8813 Reading missing person cases... Dennis wasn't the only one. One other case had the missing girl seemingly climb out the hotel window at night and run off into the forest... and die days later and miles from the hotel. Seemingly she did it just to see the forest.
Maybe see a personal locator beacon into her jacket or waistband. I couldn’t imagine the pain of losing my own child
Just remember autistic children are drawn to water. An autistic child was found drowned in the pond behind the house where they were visiting relatives in our town.
I agree. If it was my child missing I would be the squeaky wheel. I would bug them to death.
Very familiar with the story. Your channel is excellent and your voice is perfect for it. Thank you edit. Cannot blame the father exhausting all efforts to find his son. The suffering and pain has got to be extremely tough.
Of all the missing persons channels this is my fav. Very thorough, well narrated and of course from my native pacific north west. Top notch.
Washington represent
@@Chudchanningon purpose?
Not the government, just the landscape
@@M60gunner1971 it’s stupid pretty up here. That’s why they get away with being crazy cause the outdoor selection is really unmatched in the lower 48.
Thank you for this. We appreciate your continued research and update. I am so empathetic with Mr. Martin. I can understand why he continued to have hope and would jump at any possible lead in his eyes. What a way to live the rest of your life. I hope Mr. Martin and his family are at peace now and reunited with little Dennis. This story always shook me to the core.
Impressive how clear and level headed you are, and for this reason I can watch your videos. For five decades I have hiked, explored, as well as investigated a variety of mysteries, and in your sensible commentary you do not reach into ridiculous assumptions, or over state the paranormal possibilities. As so many seasoned hikers comment, people act very strange when alone and lost in the woods. They are big, and dark, and as I attest very scary. My hat goes off to you.
About 5 minutes ago I started wondering when the next upload would arrive on this channel. A minute later - BOOM!
Well done sir. Your breakdown of how law enforcement works and how investigations are conducted is a breath of fresh air. I have over 30 years of combined military and law enforcement experience and have tried to explain how the use of troops was employed in this case and the jurisdictional issues involved. But people either don't want or are unable to hear anything outside of a paranormal cause for this tragedy.
Why I appreciate your channel and all the research you do digging into these missing persons cases. When I first came across missing 411 I was convinced there was a logical and simple reason behind a majority of these “unexplainable” “phenomena” disappearances. It’s difficult to maintain that skepticism when everything out there hints at the involvement of the supernatural or otherworldly. It’s refreshing to see all the evidence and I appreciate you making the effort to present it.
I always look forward to your common sense approach and your diligence when presenting a case. I know you put a lot of time and effort into your videos, and for one thank you for all your hard work and hope to see many more of your videos in the future. Thank you.
my husband was 7 years old and he was there with the family. Dennis was his cousin. to this day he is heartbroken and still wonders what happened.
So nice to see someone who covers these cases and doesn't ignore the 'conspiracy theories', while also looking at actual evidence and going through, almost point-by-point, to show how the actual evidence doesn't line up with what the 'story' has morphed into. Also, nice to see someone pointing out that there are very legitimate reasons for the FBI to be involved (FEDERAL LAND) and that the NPS is not an investigative service. Also, not at all unusual for the Army to get involved and aid in a search, especially if they're already involved in training in the area.
Keep it up, man. Great work.
Good to see your face! Thanks for the thorough research you do for each case! You have the makings of a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist!
Strangely, I was on a family vacation in Smokey Mountains NP in June of ‘69. I was 14 but didn’t know anything about this case until decades later. I subbed!
Man, being part of these permanently unsolved cases for your entire life has to suck.
So much work only to still be left empty handed all these years later, truly tragic.
Great video tho, thanks for the follow up.
I really appreciate your dedication to digging up evidence. This really makes you stand out in the true crime reporting field.
The more that I delve into these cases, the more I realize just how much a certain someone with a certain book series leaves out of his retelling of these stories. It seems he's become popular with the "unexplained" crowd (which I'm happily a part of) and it's gone to his head. It's disappointing.
Good breakdown of the case. Excellent as always.
I sometimes worry about that too. He seems to be the first one to notice and bring this whole thing to a wider audience. I enjoy his research, books, and movies but not so much his YT channel where he reads letters & emails a sometimes highlights a new case. It's just a bit too slow paced for my taste. I always thought he had a good deal of integrity and it would be such a shame if he really is cherry picking evidence or letting success get to his head.
@@snapdragon6601 : Who are you talking about? David Pallides (sic)?
He used to shy away from naming Bigfoot and aliens, just hinting he believed they where involved, And now that's literally his selling point
Everything you said was well executed, expresses, based off of facts, and still remaining very empathic of the family and victim in the case. Beautiful job. Being kind to the victims memory is so important and a lot of TH-camrs fail to do this.
I really appreciate how thorough you are and how you cite sources. It helps clear up false info and furthers the story
Thank you for the follow-up in this horribly tragic case. The sheer amount of research you put into your broadcasts is astounding, sir.
You are a true detective - seriously love your channel and appreciate all the work you put into your research ✌& 🤟
The Dennis Martin video you did made me a subscriber. That is the highest quality video on the topic.
Your other videos since are equally super high quality, keep up the good work.
You're the best missing persons channel on TH-cam. Your actual investigations, presentation of evidence and unbiased narrative make all the difference.
I love your methodical and unwavering commitment to presenting nothing but the truth. No sensationalizing. No speculation without clearly stating so. You are considered very reliable as a source for info on these missing person cases. Thanks for what you do and your careful attention to the victims and there families who deserve only the truth and nothing more. The truth I’m sure, is hard enough for them without adding to anything to it
Thank you for sticking to the evidence. This is the one good channel I have found on these types of cases where you actually do your due diligence and don't go from Zero to Ancient Aliens immediately the second something can't be explained.
I appreciate that you don’t buy into crazy theories or perpetuate them for views. I feel the same way you do about the wild speculation that these cases generate.
I grew up near the Pine Barrens and spent a lot of time in them when I was growing up. There are people who live deep in the Pines known locally as “Pineys”. They’re not “feral people” nor are they cannibals. They’re just people who prefer to live off the grid in nature. They don’t bother anyone and no one bothers them. There are people living off the grid in wilderness areas all over the country. It doesn’t mean they’re evil bloodthirsty cannibals snatching innocent children.
I’m curious about your take on the Missing 411 cases that contained details which were embellished or completely fabricated by DP. Several missing 411 cases have been officially debunked when people found evidence ignored or overlooked bf DP (although some question the latter because he gets very hostile with anyone who brings up these major discrepancies and refuses to acknowledge them). Someone (or a few people) compiled a list of the questionable or debunked Missing 411 cases complete with links to evidence from newspaper articles, law enforcement, search and rescue, local residents, park rangers, and family members of the “missing”. In at least one case the missing person had been found alive yet DP intentionally left put the outcome of the case.
I used to have the page with the full list and supporting evidence bookmarked but unfortunately lost it when my phone broke. I’m going to search for it because the findings were very compelling. It proved, at the very least, that DP fabricates details or doesn’t include important info in order to make events appear more mysterious and strange than they actually were. I had always assumed that DP was telling the truth in regards to the cases he chooses to cover. I was wrong.
I figured that you would want to see this stuff for yourself. Your channel is one of the few that questions inconsistencies and baseless claims. So many people just give in to clickbait tactics and misinformation because it sounds more interesting than “Someone went missing on a hike and was later found alive not far from their last known location.” I really enjoy your channel- it’s one of the few that covers these topics with integrity and rational discussion.
I was intrigued by DP and missing 411 cases covered by him.
Over time, I got tired of his tender ego and his whining about people's comments that were "mean."
He also uses the phrase, " I don't care what you think."
It's condescending and arrogant.
For all of his promotion of the film about the UFO connection, it was crap.
If you find the link to that info, please come back and post here. You Tube often won't allow posting of direct links, but post the title or whatnot if you can, I would be interested in seeing that.
Thanks so much for sharing these files. They definitely shed more light on a horribly murky tragedy.
This video is great!!! I appreciate so much the emphasis you put on sourced information and evidence.
The work and research you put into these cases is very impressive. Thank you for going through these files for us.
I’ve put together a small team to investigate the big hollow theory this October. Your last video on this topic was one the best I’ve seen on the case and really drug me back into this very sad story. Stellar work brother and I plan on giving you some props on your vids in mine.
Can’t wait to hear this, should be very interesting.
By far he does the best research and presentation of stories to us than any other channel that has covered the same. 👍✌️
FBI interrogator: Did you do it?
Suspect: No
FBI interrogator: OK
Dennis Martin’s story is haunting after all these years. It’s worth researching into, and you’ve done such an excellent job with the first video and now the follow up. Unfortunately, still no new evidence of what occurred though and we might never know. This one is a true tragedy and enigma.
In the cases of our missing loved ones, you (The Missing Enigma) are the best investigative journalist and detective.
Massive props to you dude, literally every other youtuber would jump on the feral Sasquatch bandwagon to get the video shared and I really like that you pointedly lay out that you don’t think certain fringe theories are the answer when there’s other explanations at hand
I cannot blame the father one bit for his actions. I think I would probably be the same way.
This case and the one of Tom Messick, really spook me for some reason. I feel so sad for their families. 💔
Who was Tom Messick?
I'm 55 years old. I have lived in Knoxville TN my entire life. As a child visiting The Great Smoky Mountains National Park was a regular weekend event with my Mom and Dad. On one visit we were in a picnic area. And my Mom and Dad cautioned me. "Stay where we can see you". I then overheard my Mom say " Like that little Martin boy" I was maybe 10 years old. But it stuck in my memory. And for the last few years I have read almost everything about the Martin case.
At times it really chills my soul. My heart aches for Dennis and his family.
I grew up around the Smokies and I %100 believe there are "feral" people living there because my cousin is one of them. He fled a 10 year prison sentence and only me and his parents know where he is. He's not actually feral but the last time I spoke to him (2 years ago) he had some wild stories of meeting people like that. Probably be more accurate to call them weirdos.
Stranger abduction is rare. More than likely he got lost and died from exposure or accident. Unless his remains are somehow found and identified this case is unsolvable. RIP Dennis. 💔🥺🕊️
Yes -- most likely he wandered off got lost and all physical evidence was destroyed by the heavy rains.
@@johnw8578 Explain to me how rain destroys evidence, please. Especially a human body.
@@drew2fast489 Washes away DNA evidence, washes away footprints, and also as he said in the video, it could have washed the body into a crevasse and buried the body in debris. The storm had heavy rains.
@@johnw8578 oh the rain melted a body??? And his clothes??? What about the bones?
@@anon2427 Remember, bones/remains were found much much later by someone but they could not be relocated and thus no identity -- the park is huge and it is hard to find someone living yet alone deceased.
Thank you for starting this with the assumption that we are all familiar with this case, since it's so well-known. And thank you for also presenting this so matter-of-factly. I don't know why I've never come across your videos before, but you have a new subscriber! 🙂
Thank you for your videos and honesty.Your references are always on point and results in great investigative content. Keep on truckin for truth.Peace.
You make some of the most excellent content in this genre. I know these families would appreciate it
I lived in Treemont, I was 11 when Dennis Martin went missing. Dwight McCarter and my Dad were great friends ,and was on the search team together. This case has haunted many of the park families for year's. I talked to the Green Beret, they had a few minutes and showed us the helicopter, we knew they were busy, when we was leaving, I remember crying and telling them we hoped they found Dennis. My dad tried to protect us from what was going on, but you hear alot as a kid. I lived in the park most of my life. I never saw a wild man , but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. This will be with me till the day I die. I continue to pray for the Martin family. I hope they see this and know they have not been forgotten. I pray we will get answers soon, especially for his family.
I think the most important evidence that could have revealed a suspect would have been video surveillance footage of NSP parking lots and road traffick especially because after so many people arrived to search for Dennis it probably became impossible to discern exactly who was in the parks after that point. However, I'm guessing this case took place long before video lot and road surveillance
Yes, it was much more innocent then. No phone cameras, no digital anything --all analog.
1969. Doubtful CCTV was installed.
Another interesting video. The amount of fact based research you bring to the missing person subjects is so refreshing! Loved the video. My only criticism is that we have never learned your name. Keep up the good work big dog, cant wait for the next one.
Thank you so much for the work you have put into this channel. I always look forward to a new video. The Dennis Martin case is a truly a sad and tragic story. I can only imagine the hell his family went through. I feel terrible for his father who spent the rest of his life fearing his son was kidnapped and not knowing his ultimate fate. Thank you for this update and presenting information in a concise, rational manner.
You cover some of the most unheard of missing persons cases, so this is appreciated.
I've lived here all my life. There are no feral cannibals lol. I immediately dismiss channels who promote that stuff. I appreciate your level-headed approach.
No "Sasquatches" or Bigfoot either I'm sure. LOL. That stuff really drives me nuts.
Yes there ARE Sasquatch there.
@@eucliduschaumeau8813 Exactly 💯
@@armyvet8279 Lol no there are not. You've watched too much tv/youtube if you think they're real. Go outside and touch some grass
@@SuperNoticer it does us ZERO harm for us to believe in Bigfoot. YOU, however, keep walking through the woods thinking you own the place.
Direct and no B/S to the point......you present all of the information and you have done your research to make sure that everything you State in this story is as correct as it can be.......in the end you have laid down all of the facts........and let people make their own decisions on what might of happened to this very young child...... outstanding job and outstanding channel as well...... keep on keeping on
You do a great job. Thank you for your efforts!
You do excellent work in producing these videos and your investigative journalism is top notch . Very well done! Thank you for covering the Martin case I think so many of us truly care about Dennis and the Martin family.
I've often wondered if an animal got him. Mountain lions and bears have carried off full grown men. They could easily take a child. A wolf could also carry off a child. I also know that children will sometimes hide from you if you're yelling their name. They mistake your frightened voice for an angry voice and are afraid to come out. I know because I've had a kid do that to me once, and when I found him I asked, didn't you hear me. Why didn't you come out. Answer was he thought I was mad because I was yelling so frantically. So sad about this case.
Thank you for the update! I have a vague memory of seeing this on the Knoxville news when I was a kid. I spent a fair amount of time in Cade's Cove on field trips, family visits and bicycling around the whole place. It can be eerie even in daylight.
The most despicable thing Paulides did was to change the times of the abduction to make his timeline fit to give the abductor time to make it to the place the key family was. The reddit group missing411 discussion gives the full breakdown of that con mans lies using reports and newspaper articles. Key never said the guy was carrying anything.
Thats how that conman work!
I watched the one he did on Jaryd. I then went from his channel to other channels that had way more info. In the comments I saw he would leave out info. It's nice he has gotten so much traffic to bring light to these cases, but he really needs to give all the info that is readily available.
i think Paulidas is sincere, but not that intelligent. Frankly, i pity the guy since his son's suicide a couple of years back....
Weird how that guy is responsible for making this whole subgenre of missing 411 popular and trending, but people shit on him now that they have other people who are copying the same case content to listen to. With all the minefields of true and false info out there I feel like it's possible for two researchers to not stumble on the exact same things and thus end up with conflicting results. I doubt he's sitting back in a chair intentionally lying about cases just to decieve anonymous TH-cam accounts. Atleast he has people talking about it and paying attention now
@@markjackson3531 I wouldn't mind being with you if he wasn't such a turd human. He was fired as a cop for conning people, he was a homophobic POS that was transferred for roughing them up during his arrests and won't admit any of this even though it's on the web in archives of the newspaper. Unfortunately I think his poor kid was just finding this all out and probably couldn't take that his dad was such a POS. He wanted to go the Bigfoot route and make his next movie while daddy wanted to push the missing411 abductor con. From all I've been able to gather the kid was a good human.
Dude, your videos are so well researched, with great documentation. Even your opinions are objective. And the artwork? *[chefs kiss]*
I’ve taken a shine to missing 411 cases, and sometimes YTers include elements that seem outrageous with nothing more than a hunch, so your channel is a breath of fresh air.
keep up the excellent work
Is he also creating the artwork himself? I was wondering because if so he is very talented. I also think he has a great voice for commentaries. I've noticed the really well known TH-camrs(male and female) have a very nice tone to their voices and seem very articulate.
I'm a great believer in the simplest explanation usually being the correct one, and Sasquatch and feral people certainly don't belong in the "simplest" category. Thanks for the video and follow up.
Wow, you had your work cut out for you with this one! We appreciate your attention to detail and down to earth personality, both of which make your content so very easy to listen to and truly understand. Thank you for the work you do on behalf of the individuals and their families, even those from 50 or so years ago. It's sobering to think that a family lost a baby, never found him, lived and died not truly knowing the child's fate. The whole family. They never knew. So, thank you for respecting them by trying to find some answers.
I have lived and hunted in Roan Mountain for 45 years. This is the first time I have ever heard of this boy and I have never heard of cannibals being in the mountains. There are a lot of people doing illegal things in these mountains. Like poaching, weed growing, moonshine and meth. I can also promise you that if any of these folks were to see an ape of any kind it would be killed! We hate outsiders! We love God and our neighbors. Guns have been pulled on the new mailman and people from Florida have had their houses burnt down but, never has there been anyone eaten.
I am retired LE. I have spent a lot of time researching this case and this is the first time I heard of the "man in the white car" theory .
So.... You're saying it was probably a naked cannibal sasquatch right? 😁 Excellent video very fair coverage of all the ideas.
This channel is amazing. Think about all the research done and pulling all of the information together to give us a picture of what most likely happened.
There's a house not to far from me with a posted sign of their missing son listing the days they've been missing... It's well over 10 years! It's got to be heartbreaking to go on just wondering what happened...
It’s important to note that running away with little regard for their well-being is a common characteristic of children with autism.
According to Autism Speaks, ‘nearly half of those with autism wander or bolt from safety,’ and ‘drowning remains a leading cause of death for children with autism and accounts for approximately 90 percent of deaths associated with wandering or bolting by those age 14 and younger.’
This can explain why so many who go missing have learning disabilities and many aren’t found. The verbal challenges and people-avoiding behavior of children with autism could mean they often don’t respond or even avoid searchers.
I'm glad for this video
Thank you for this video and the work you've put into it. Much appreciated that you don't have some minute-long dramatic intro or ominous background music that sensationalizes the presentation.
Thank you
This was incredibly well done. Whatever your day job, this is a calling IMO. Very detailed and thorough as can possibly be. I watched other videos without seeing your pic until today. Your voice and inflections are that of a wise and seasoned documentary narrator. Subscribed and going to go back and binge 👍🏻
Love you tons brother, thanks for the discussion & clarification between facts and opinion 😘👌🍀
Bravo, sir, BRAVO!
You do an excellent job digging deeply into these mysteries while being open to theories of what may have happened in these cases.
BRAVO!!!
