► The Grand Canyon National Park… Often described as a breath-taking and awe-inspiring place was the 15th site in the United States of America to have been granted the National Park status ([1.] Wikipedia.org). The Parks most notable feature, as the name might suggest is the Grand Canyon itself, a gorge of the Colorado River which is considered one of the Wonders of the World. Scientists currently believe that the Canyon itself was formed between 5 and 6 million years ago when the river cut a channel through the rock ([2.] History.com, 17 February 2020). The first European explorers, Spanish explorers specifically, reached the Grand Canyon in the 1540s. However, this site has an ancient history of human habitation dating all the way back to the last Ice Age.
117 years ago, Theodore Roosevelt visited the site and stated:
“The Grand Canyon fills me with awe. It is beyond comparison, beyond description; absolutely unparalleled throughout the wide world. Let this great wonder of nature remain as it now is. Do nothing to mar its grandeur, sublimity and loveliness. You cannot improve on it, but what you can do is to keep it for your children, your children’s children and all who come after you, as the one great sight which every American should see.” ([1.] Wikipedia.org).
Despite Theodore’s attempt, the site was not named as a National Park right away, but it appears that he did pave the way and on the 26th of February 1919 the Grand Canyon, and the entirety of the 1.2 million acres was declared a National Park. The Grand Canyon was then designated as a World Heritage Site in 1979 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. Since then, though perhaps specifically in more recent times, the park attracts almost 6.5 million visitors every year, making it the second most popular National Park in America, only surpassed by the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
While most of the Parks visitors come and go without issue, for a minority of people this is not the case.

The Grand Canyon was requested by a number of people and I promised to have it ready before the end of Feb, so there you go! I found some pretty odd ones in here, so do share your thoughts or let me know if I've overlooked something. And enjoy your Friday/weekend, be safe
Top Mysteries
Interesting cases. I can understand why there’ve been requests about this location. The Grand Canyon, and much of the area nearby, is incredibly beautiful and majestic, full of interesting history and folklore, and plenty of mystery. I went there as a child and it’s was magical and awe inspiring.✨
Have an excellent weekend. Be safe. 🦋✌🏼
Cheers, TM. Hope you have a great weekend too. Great job on this video!
Cases 1 & 3 are possibly drowning and suicide respectively. As for the other two cases, well they were mistakenly written off by President Eisenhower. As is the more than the likely reason for other 411 files.
Thank you so much for uploading. Amazing video, as usual. I am a huge fan of your channel and I am so happy everytime when you upload new video.
Have a nice weekend too and keep up the great work.
Greetings from Germany!🤗
FYI The science on the Canyon has changed. The river did not carve it, it was a massive lake that emptied into it catastrophically, resulting in the canyon's creation.
Over the years, I've spent a lot of time in the Grand Canyon National Park, often soloing via motorcycle or solo hiking. Now, at age 81, my favorite place on the Colorado River? Inside a casino at Laughlin, NV.
Lol
I grew up in bullhead. I love that river. Lazy Harry's marina is where I got drunk stoned and laid most every summer.
I love Laughlin
Sounds like you've had some wonderful times but please do be careful .
Too many Desperados out there now looking to take advantage of people ... it's worse than ever since the economy got worse and everything now is so much more expensive .
@@gardensofthegods I find the vast majority of people to be honest and up front. Unfortunately, there are those who take advantage of those traits.
I live in Arizona, and have been to the Grand Canyon several times. I can easily see how people can disappear there. It's so much bigger than your brain can even wrap around it. It's incredible.
Looks it as well would love to visit 👍
Mark Webster Yeah but stay on the main canyon rim I mean it’s just fine you know you don’t need to walk down in there I have done it and yeah it was pretty dangerous and very scary
@@jshaw4757 The subway systems under London U.K were built. There are records, published plans, historical records etc.
It's beautiful but you have to be very careful and respectful bc it's dangerous if you're not careful but is beautiful I hike and camp there 7 yrs ago and it was amazing ❤
Just went there last week!! Words and pictures alone don't do justice!!!
The Grand Canyon can be extremely isolated, I’ve experience this myself when I went on a 7 day 80 mile backpacking trip. My friend and I lost the trail on the 3rd day, because how rugged and unused the trail was. But fortunately we’re really experienced hikers and extremely fit, and after a few minutes looking at a map, we’d find the trail again. However if somehow we couldn’t find the trail, or hurt, we’d be 40 miles away from the closest civilized location
glad your ok man. going off all the stories on this channel that could easily become a disastrous situation.
@@cjvaye99 You're, 😐
@Faylene Gostanian I've spent a lot of time in all of those states, mostly via motorcycle and camping, and just turned 81.
How far from the lodge though?
@Faylene Gostanian Colorado and Wyoming as well
One major thing that Paulides mentions is the medical examiner often concludes the person died from exposure when they don't have an exact cause of death.
Or now, C19!
Missing 411 is hands down the best eerie missing persons show ever! Even with just taking half of any of the given cases from David's unfortunately vast collection, the goosebumps exceed any other eyebrow situation.
@@AlienRelics lol !!!
Yeah but the truth is it doesn't take much to die from exposure .
Everyone entering a national park for the purpose of hiking or camping should be required to have a GPS tracking device placed on them with an emergency distress beacon. This is crazy.
Excellent idea.
It would certainly be nice if funding was available to loan them to visitors for the duration of the stay. Great idea!
@David Cr that is an awesome idea. They could have the for loan to hikers and tourists, which they can rent for the time they stay in NP. It would be so much cheaper than any rescue mission and even more importantly it can save many lives.
Did you hear David said it's help a little. Man with tracking device disappeared just not to long ago.
Required? Lol. People have a right to vanish.
We have the best radiotelescope satellites and we can look into other planets, stars, and galaxies, but we can't find a single missing person.
Don't believe everything that science writes about. If we had "the best" no one would become a missing person". Look into Egyptian treasure of the Grand Canyon. Also, people still have " in holdings" within most Nat'l Parks. That's another quite interesting and we'll kept secret. Since after WW2. Plus "the Little People" & Giants of the Grand Canyon. Another aspect is that for every 100 people that visit the South Rim, only 1 person visits the more extreme and adventuresome North Rim. Even less get to the most remote inhabited village in America: Supai Village on the Colorado River inside the GC! Happy investigations! You shall be blown away with new knowledge few are aware of.
@@frankhynes9974 wow thank you for that. That was very informative. I just learned something new, thank you!!
We've had and seem to still have people go missing here too (UK) under similar circumstances and I often think the same??? I mean all this technology we have today!!! 😬
This may sound a bit too religious or far out but the 1st recorded "missing person" is recorded in the Bible in GENESIS. From the lineage of ADAM - it was ENOCH! Which by the way "his book" was at one time in the Bible and it addresses many abnormalities that occur on Earth. People should read it for it is an eye opener.
@Lou Lou, this is happening all over the Earth, in all Countries. Even on the Continent of Antarctica. Whoa now!
Having worked here for 2.5 years and seeing the countless careless visitors to go well beyond the boundaries of safety it is a wonder that the Canyon has not claimed hundreds of thousands of lives....
@@DARTHMOBIUS I agree, I hate that not everyone has someone... statements like this remind me to continue trying to be a better person, regarding all my peoples esp....
@@ktbaby5237 I have no one, it's a very painful , lonely, depressing place to be esp during holidays when I am sat by myself, alone, the way u feel is indescribable, mixture of isolation, emotional anguish, it is truly an awful feeling! If you know anyone like me who is all alone with nobody, for me please check up on them on holidays and just true to show them a little more Love and compassion as remember they go home to no, -one and trust me it is awful coming home to a cold, quiet as the grave, house !
@@thatvampirelorraine I hate that & I'm sorry that you are in that situation... Do you at least have online friends?? Just so you know, I'm here if you need someone to talk to now and then, okay... Please respond to this so we know that you're okay, PLEASE?? 🙂✌
@@ktbaby5237 You're unusually kind.
@@ktbaby5237 thank you that is so sweet, it hurts so much !
I have a great book titled Death In the Grand Canyon. It goes through all the deaths and mysteries of the Grand Canyon on written record.
That is a great book if it's the one I'm Thinking of ("Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon").
Picked up over the edge when we visited the Grand Canyon in 2018 great book
That is a fabulous and absorbing read. People visit the Grand Canyon and have no idea of the danger they may be in. While there, I saw a woman go beyond the safety railing and do a dumb thing like sittimg on the edge of a multi-thousand foot drop. Luckily she didn't end up going "over the edge". They don't call the vantage point known as the Abyss that for nothing!
I wonder if it is on Amazon?
@@Dharmarenee Yes,they have it.
Regarding case 3, it's common for suicidal people to seem in a good or "better" mood just before an attempt. This is because, if the attempt has been planned out beforehand, they feel as if a massive burden has been lifted off their shoulders. The distress and confusion of dealing with whatever problems they're facing seems to melt away due to their hope of soon of ending them. Also, Andrew's talk of the future and seeming to be excited was probably an intentional attempt to fool his father into a sense of security, so that he wouldn't try to stop Andrew from carrying out his plan.
Genocide
yes, the highly selfish self centred persons whom get to succeed in their suicide/s did Not let anybody nor wanted to let anyone know.
the semi selfish persons whom got stopped, got diverted, got prevented etc, had some sort of hope remaining.
because they conveyed enough information of their state of mind & intentions. 🤔😐
@Katj Hill yes indeed. we all have a set plan & destiny in life. suicide cuts, ruins all those paths throwing into disarray for everyone around, associated with & acquainted to the selfish persons act of suicide. 🤔🤪😐☹️
@Katj Hill Shit like this is what made me attempt suicide when I was 17. Stop pushing harmful religious agendas on people
@Stephanie Windler I thought they have never recovered his body?
I’m in the Grand Canyon right now. My family and I went 3 miles down a trail and made it halfway down the canyon and realized we forgot two bottles of water. We had no water and had to hike halfway up. Luckily there were several hikers who helped and gave us water but my mom, dad and I all experienced dehydration and heat exhaustion. I realize now how easy it is to die here and even told my dad to leave me because it would be more peaceful than going back up. It took 3 hours for what took an hour to walk down but I made it up after crying many times
Your dad should’ve left you, it would’ve been natural selection .
Damn
I’ve been to the canyon several times in my life, and know that if you ever had to hide a body, this would be the place. Sad for the survivors.
Ever see any body’s or anything in the bottom of the canyon?
Also I’m surprised to learn that Grand Canyon is second most visited only to Great Smokey Mountains. I would have guessed Yosemite and Yellowstone would be 1 & 2
I thought the same thing as soon as he said that!!! Took me by surprise!!! Kind of like it though....Live right next to them. 😁😎🖒🖒❤❤
It's hard to say, as they don't keep lists according to Paulides and Knapp.
I think it’s about price. It’s more expensive to visit some places than others.
Great Smokey Mountains NP is the most visited by far, taking in almost twice as many visitors as Grand Canyon NP. The fact that it is easier accessible by millions living on the east coast and the southeast probably has a lot to do with it.
I didn't even know Yosemite existed. I'm surprised Grand Canyon isn't #1, as a foreigner
One of the best channels on TH-cam
Great channel!
Legends! Thank you so much
I totally agree I'm British myself and have spent years researching this . Love this channel
No doubt about it.
I have hiked the Grand Canyon a few times (about 15-20 miles each hike) and can say it is the hardest place I’ve ever hiked, and I live in Colorado and hike a lot. The exposure and steep terrain make it extremely difficult and I can see how even the most experienced outdoorsmen can get in trouble out there.
There is a whole series of books about death in national parks. Death in the Grand Canyon is riveting and terrifying. People die there all the time, usually in very disturbing ways. Several times, when posing too close to the edge after climbing over barriers, people have pretended to trip or fall to make a funny picture, and ACTUALLY TRIPPED, falling hundreds of feet to their deaths...I couldn't believe how many times that has happened!
A few people have accidentally driven off the edge while parking (one guy forgot to set his parking brake and left the engine running, AND his kids in the car, while he got out to look at the view. Unfortunately, he had also left the car in gear, and it began to roll. In spite of several people attempting to stop it, it went over the edge, 600 feet into the canyon below, obviously killing everyone in the car). As you go through the book, its apparent that almost every death was completely avoidable and in almost every case, the people who died refused to follow any of the park safety guidelines, ignoring signs, barriers, ranger warnings, rules about not interacting with or feeding animals, or going off trails into hazardous terrain. Look on Amazon for the series....
Fascinating book; I loved it!
Can you name any of the books?
@@keithw4039
It's called, "Over the Edge: Death in the Grand Canyon". (Newly expanded 10th Anniversay Edition) by Michael Ghiglieri. He also wrote "Off the Wall, Death in Yosemite" .
Lee H. Whittlesey wrote, "Death in Yellowstone", which is GREAT, too.
There is a whole series. Look them up on Amazon. I have to warn you that once you start, it's hard to stop reading them all. Its addicting, and scary!!
@@dalhousieDream
I'm so glad someone else found it interesting! I was depressed but not surprised at how many, many people met their ends making a very poor decision about what seemed to them, at the time, to be meaningless, like the "tripping" pose for a selfie, or trying to back into a parking space on the edge of a 700 foot sheer drop, accidentally hitting the gas instead of the brake, and gunning it backwards into the canyon, or deciding to wear ear buds while hiking ALONE in grizzly country so that he couldn't hear the two ton bear charging up behind him...
In our every day life, we make stupid mistakes all the time, and they can cause us a minor hassle, like driving off with your cup of coffee on the roof of your car in the morning, or forgetting to bring directions for a get together; things that are dumb, but not life threatening in the city. It turns out that everything is life and death in nature. Everything. It's easy to forget that. These books will remind you...😳😫😀
Thank you...
Thank you. I enjoyed this very much. I have hiked in the Grand Canyon myself and it’s a world all unto its own!
Another National Park one...no doubt this will be good!
Gonna need top mysteries to do an interview with david paulides of missing 411. That would be awesome
Come on Top Mysteries don’t ignore this comment. David seems like a legit dude and I think you and him would have some golden conversation over various disappearances. Think about it.
@@cdsellars87 David might not be willing....keep that in mind....he has been commenting lately about a lot of channels parasitizing off of his material....for their own profit..not saying Top Mysteries is doing that, but you get my drift I hope...
Trevor Regay Top Mysteries definitely isn’t doing that. If it was a planned and mutual respect type of thing I bet it could be awesome. David did try to get on Joe Rohan too but was ignored unfortunately. I just think it would be a cool cross over.
Trevor Regay he says they’re parasitizing off his work but Top Mysteries (the only channel i’ve seen doing this type of thing) ALWAYS gives credit where credit is due. that makes it not parasitizing by definition
Paulides wants to be THE go to, #1 source for all missing/unexplained disappearances so I doubt that will happen. Sometimes I get the feeling he wants to be the ONLY one to speak on these matters.
Going off the trail unfortunately occurs more frequently than most people think. The problem can be summed up in that old adage: a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Some people who have gone hiking in the Grand Canyon come to think of themselves as experienced or have some expertise when in reality they are far from that. There several cases of such people who met untimely ends because they thought themselves to be experts and could go off trail. The most recent case is the Sarah Beadle case (Aug 2017): a mother who left her daughter and nephew sitting by the trail while she went to get some water for them. Fortunately, for the children a passerby found and took them to a camp and alerted the authorities of the missing woman whose body was found a day later. This may seem like the actions of an unintelligent person, but Sarah Beadle was a doctor who worked in the ER for one of the top medical institutions in the US (Baylor College of Medicine) and she had been to the Grand Canyon several times and an experienced hiker. According to her husband, she had been on that exact same trail many times - until she decide to go off it. You cannot tell from the videos and pictures, but the Grand Canyon can be a very dangerous place with daytime highs over 100F (37.8C) - the record is 120F (48.9C).
This was a beautiful, but sad video. I loved getting a look at the Grand Canyon. It's on my bucket list. All the missing person's reports are rather eerie and definitely sad. Good job on your video.
I don't know what the fatality rates are for other national parks, but the Grand Canyon is known for having high numbers of deaths. As of September, there has already been 18 deaths in 2021 at the Grand Canyon. The average is about 12 per year.
The kid that left college and went to the Canyon committed suicide. It makes a lot of sense actually. Lots of people become very depressed In their first year of college, usually when it doesn't live up to expectations. Combine that with many colleges having predatory professors pushing crazy ideas (communism, eco-fascism, and human extinction to name a few things I've heard professors advocate for at my school) and well I can see how someone would become desperate.
Well said!
You should stay strong. If your professor looks crazy or pushing strange( aggressive) ideas, stay away from him.
100% right !
Dont forget that parents can have unrealistic expectations for their kids at college, attempting to force them to pursue a degree they do not want, expecting them to be star students, or putting tremendous pressure on them by telling them that they (the parents) are making a ruinous financial commitment. I've known way too many friends who became desperate after they had trouble settling into their first year, and when home for a break, heard nothing but recriminations about their lack of effort, or lack of gratitude for the sacrifice the parents are making, or anger if they want to change their degree goals. Two friends, who both achieved their PhD eventually, suffered near complete breakdowns because of continual pressure by their parents on top of the demanding schedules they were already dealing with. One developed a drinking problem and one suffered a complete breakdown, got on a bike one day, and bicycled to another state to see a friend without telling anyone! After a lot of panic, she was able to rest and get help, changing University and beginning again, she is an esteemed professor today, but went through too much pressure initially. Suicide has become a epidemic among young people. Please take any references to suicide extremely seriously and reach out with support and understanding. Suicide hotline number: 1-800- 273-8255.
I’m in my first year of college and I agree, but it’s more so depression because I can’t reach my own expectations. College is harder than I thought. I never struggled with school work up through high school and my first math test in college was the first time I failed a test. I’m leaving for reasons unrelated to my struggles with the work, and I managed to finish with a GPA that is considered good to others, but I still expected so much more from myself. I agree with you.
Your voice and accent makes it so easy to listen to these stories. Makes all the difference in the world. ☺
Grand Canyon. A beautiful and wondrous place. My home state of AZ. We're lucky to live 70 miles away from the South Rim. I have visited over 25 times between both Rims, and have never felt as though I was in any danger , ever. Trails are well worn, well traveled and very clearly marked. Just got to make wise choices, like don't go in bad weather conditions and the likes
TM~ I’m so happy I have found your channel; how else would I have learned any of these valuable lessons which you have documented!? Thank you 🙏🏽
♥️sheer
I saw a couple of maps recently. One was of all the locations that people had disappeared and the other was of known cave systems. Amazing how many disappearances occur in the same locations of cave systems. Gives me a creepy feeling. I imagine how it would feel to fall into a cave from a small surface hole into total darkness.
Yeah and I bet it would be extremely easy to get lost in that spaghetti like cave system and not come out.
Never walk ahead of your boyfriend that close to the edge.
I was thinking that too😝🤣🙁👍
Yep!
why not?
Just stay away from edges. Especially edges with nothing firm to hold on to.
@Cathi Wright or just plain crazy
Love these "missing 411"- esque videos! Kinda obsessed with the phenomenon right now. Keep it up!!!
Andrew's story is interesting indeed. Loving all the videos! It's apparent how much work you put in. Great job💖💖
Thanks Adam. I am quite intrigued by this video. Very strangr.
I was one of the people who requested this video! Thank you Top Mysteries! You are the first creator to fulfill one of my requests... You rock brother!
Yes Gary! I remember, you were the first one to request it 👍 and I'm always open to suggestions, some of best videos that I've made (in my own opinion anyway) have come from subscribers!
@@MissingVoidTV You have the best channel in this genre hands down!
Nice one Gary 👍
@@MissingVoidTV love what you're doing man - keep it up. Anything "missing 411" related or similar are my top right now. I'm thoroughly intrigued by what's going on.
I would love to visit the Grand Canyon some day!
These are fascinating cases.
Thank you! Have a good night!😊💕💕💕
Although the stories are tragic, I enjoy listening to the very thorough work you’ve put into the making of the reports on this channel.
These stories have been done over and over again. A new story would take some work. Anybody can get this info in minutes.
Greg Olson When I came across this channel, I became a subscriber because I found it interesting, and had never heard these stories before. I don’t have time to research everything I find interesting, so I appreciate it when I can listen to the work that has already been done in a well put together manner by this channel.
@@jlo-sk8ev All I am saying is these 3 stories have been done dozens of times previously. The fist to do the story has to do the most work. The 3rd story has much better descriptions. Any word/attention is good!
@@gregolson5532 I don't have the time to watch other channels on covering these incidents unfortunately, so I have no idea who has covered what, nor do I really care to know. I look through older/newer newspapers initially and then build up the research from there
@@MissingVoidTV Try covering 1 of the 1000's of cases not covered on youtube previously. The vast majority do not get covered. If one randomly picks stories outside of youtube you would think they would come up with a new one. I do like your geographic presentation.
Some very strange and thought provoking disappearances. Thank you for highlighting the cases you do as it keeps safety in mind for those contemplating hiking and it also alerts people to the fact that if and when they do find the remains or equipment to please call it in no matter how small as it just may help find a missing person. Thanks for sharing. x
This is a great video man I love these missing person videos I really hope there is some sort of closure in all of these
It's terrifying how people can just completely disappear like this. Imagine your brother or someone says they're going to a friend's house and you never see or hear from him again.
I love you Top Mysteries!

Good video. Very thorough with the citations. I look forward to the next one!
Definitely more to come, and thank you
Very beautiful place but also eerie. Native Indian Land. From Australian Aboriginal Woman.
I’ve always loved hiking and camping love the woods and mountains. But almost two years ago now a friend told me about David and the 411 books and vids. And honestly I have not set foot in the woods since.
Smart!!
I go prepared, alert and armed. Nothing is keeping me out of the woods...
Ha! The exact same thing happened to me! My family owns property and we go camping all summer. Haven’t gone the last 2 summers.
I still go pretty regularly. I'd rather die than live in fear of all of the beauty of this world.
You are probably at much higher risk of death by an auto accident, and an earlier death from being out of shape. Don't be stupid, but also don't let fear rule your life.
Wow! These disappearing people within this state park is surely strange !!!!! How can someone just vanish within canyon walls all around ?
It is very strange, especially when you hear the searchers say things like they expected it to be a quick search because it was an enclosed space
I've been to the Grand Canyon many times and I once did a 10 day rafting trip down the Colorado River which was a magical experience. It was not only stunning in size and beauty. But also just had a very spiritual vibe.
How was the rafting trip?
@@jjohnsengraciesmom it was amazing! Thanks so much for asking .
I'm an Aussie who lived in the US for a few years (a long time ago) but I never got to see the Grand Canyon. What you said about it having a spiritual vibe reminded me of a similar experience I had here in Australia. I once visited Uluru (more commonly known as Ayer's Rock) way out in the middle of the country. It's the single largest unbroken piece of stone on Earth, and you can't imagine just how big it is until you see it in person (and most of it is underground). It has tremendous spiritual significance for the local indigenous people, and when I saw it I had the same sort of feeling that you describe. It was an uncanny sense of what I can only describe as familiarity on some deep primal level, despite never having visited it before. It seemed archetypal, or something. I struggle to put it into words, but it was an eerie feeling.
I’ve kayaked the GC several times on 21 day trips private trips, including the little Colorado once. Simply the most incredible place on earth. If going missing is one of the risks, well, I can’t think of a better place to go missing or end up. Small price to risk for visiting the greatest landform on the planet.
@@Markus_Andrew Markus, I hear you big time, regarding the "Rock". Words are useless to convey the awe felt. My friend had a creepy experience near, Kings' canyon, several decades ago. Him and his girl friend wondered from the main track{ a big no, no , if you ask me } and came across a ring of trees, that pointed outwards. It was a place of power and malevolent at that. Fear and unease, inhabited their being and they left quick, smart! It doesn't end there. The night after the visit, both of them had nightmares. The female's dream involved her partner, raping her. She kept that to her self for a while. It affected the relationship. Clearly they walked into sacred country and got off lightly!
Regards,Adam.
I love your videos always look forward to your upload videos! Keep them coming thanks! ❤
YIPEE, I love watching your vids and can never wait until the next one. Thank you for all of the effort and hard work you put in to making
these awesome vids
As always an excellent and informative video. I find the topics you cover interesting and I wouldn’t mind if future videos covered topics of a more supernatural or paranormal nature.
I'm always excited when you publish a new video! They are all so darn good! Thanks buddy!
My pleasure! Thank you for the kind words
Omg I love this guy's voice & storytelling! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Case 1: I think the couple drowned. I’ve been rafting for many years, and they most certainly encountered plenty of class 5 whitewater that kill people every year.
Case 3: Poor guy. While his letter might seem ambiguous to his family, it seems he most likely killed himself. That area is vast and full of little places to disappear.
As for the other 2 cases...?🤷🏼♀️
lotus flower I can’t agree with you more on that one. As for the other two cases, well, President Eisenhower signed those off, if you get my drift.
Personally, I think the couple were murdered by someone they met.
Case 1 has an after story that wasn't mentioned here. Many years later, a woman claiming to be the wife of the victim said that she stabbed him to death because he insisted on going down a particularly rough stretch of water that she refused to do. He got physical with her and she stabbed him. She said she felt that she would not have survived that section of the river. If true, then her actions were understandable.

Totally possible. I don’t know. I just visualize them going down rapids on something like a 6x9 board it just gets shredded by the rocks and whitewater. 🤷🏼♀️
Good video. I live in Arizona and have visited the Canyon multiple times; it's a beautiful, surreal place, and can be overwhelming. What happened to these people I do not know, but I'd like to recommend a book called "Over the Edge : Death in Grand Canyon" by Michael P. Ghiglieri and Thomas M. Myers, which goes through pretty much every death that can be historically verified, from the early settler days right up to 2000. I picked it up on recommendation from a friend; peculiar but interesting, and it ties right in with your video if you're interested in the Canyon's past. That place has swallowed up a lot of lives.
So weird, I live in AZ and haven't heard of any of these stories. Very interesting!
The case of Drake Lyons Kramer who went missing in February 1, 2015. What struct me was that he (Drake) left San Antonio and traveled to the Grand Canyon National Park.
Now bare with me, but him leaving San Antonio (he allegedly stated he went to California first, and then to the National Park) and driving all those miles without notifying anyone is mind blowing in itself. The distance travelled is what made this stick out. But what got my attention was that he had just started studying geology.
I bring this up because you've mentioned about boulders playing a big part in the missing 411. Is it possible that Drake was handling a piece of a boulder and or material from the Grand Canyon? And somehow (I know this sounds crazy) possessed him to drive all the way to the park?
Sounds INSANE but why rule this out, considering how far away he was from the national park. And the recent changes of studies to geology, it just some how fits. Also the fact he stated via text to his family ""needed to be back with Mother Earth and set his soul free."
His last text sounds like that of ancient folklore worship of "Mother Gaia" by pagan and or wiccan traditions. Also reminds me of the Icelandic hidden elves that live in the boulders, fairies, etc.
Nevertheless this was just something that stood out to me. He (Drake) initiated a study of geology and shortly thereafter went missing, and travelled the distance to do so. If that doesn't sound like possession; I don't know what does.
2:15 I got very dizzy when they approached that ledge. & Im not even there 4real😂 Nope stayn away.
I don't remember if I watched a documentary or read a story (with pictures) about the Hydes, but there were questions about one of the photographers. And it was assumed that he had grown fond of Bessie . And then there was speculation about the circumstances of the couples disappearance. Years later a body was found on the property of the photographer. It was Bessie.
I noticed that the stories you shared were in the south rim. Alot of people take risks sitting or standing too close to the rim it's lime stone it can give way at any moment. The tour bus driver told me at least one a month will go over. I seen people standing on the edge, some will climb in dangerous areas. Like someone said below people need to GPS if they are camping or hiking. I really enjoy your channel keep up the great work
One of your channel's fan watching all the way from the philippines! ❤❤❤
From all the way from the UK here 😜👍😎😬
Fascinating research ...I hope to be a Patreon of yours! Stay blessed, Top!
Absolutely love this channel.
Excellent video as always
Great topic

One of the suggestions David Paulides has is for people to wear personal locator devices. I've seen one on line for $99.00 and it was made like a really nice pendant on a chain. Another is a satellite phone which I believe can be rented at some places.
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you and stay safe.
Gads! I really hate being in the woods...and I'm freaking surrounded!🤦♀️ good job with the video!
Well it depends on what Woods ... some of them are friendlier than others .
THE GRAND CANYON HAS SOME FANTASTIC VIEWS IT HOLDS A LOT OF MYSTERIES ITS VERY BIZARRE DISAPPEARANCES
You aint gotta yell
STAY 10-8 well so sorry ill turn it down next time ok excuse me I could not be bothered to go to lower case it’s lazy fingers
STAY 10-8 😂😂😂😂
I'd like to think what's happened to the Missing 411 will become known.
For whatever reason abductions, the hills have eyes or logical explanations
With all the information that has come out from the few people making sure we're aware. As well as possible info on the missing. With the awareness and knowledge of knowing how real this is... It should prevent it from happening like it was especially children. I have no doubt it already has!
Stay safe out there! 🙏
What a lovely Northern accent you have! Very nice video as well, thanks! :)
I love this channel. Your videos are very interesting and well done! Can’t wait for more.
In regards to the Glenn & Bessie Hyde (Hide?) case, I think I’ve heard another story in connection to that...
I could be totally wrong about this but I thought that it was rumored that at least the woman survived and that she disappeared voluntarily because she had either deliberately killed her partner or that he died as the result of an accident during the trip and she wanted to avoid scrutiny and/or to protect her privacy. So, she basically snuck away from the area and started fresh somewhere else. Now, I’m pretty sure where this line of thought came from was one of her supposed children (or maybe it was a grandchild, I don’t remember). Obviously, this supposed child would have been born after the Grand Canyon incident. I believe the evidence they pointed to was either a cryptic deathbed confession and/or the discovery of a birth certificate (or something similar) that was found in the women’s things after she died but the name on the documents were that of the missing women and not the name they had known their mother/grandmother by. I hope that made sense. Anyway, since I am now having a hard time finding this story then it’s quite possible that this theory was debunked or that it was a hoax to begin with. 🤷🏻♀️
You want to read a book named “sunk without a sound”. The story of the Hyde’s is one of the most famous ghost stories of the GC.
I heard this story on Unsolved Mysteries I thought she killed him
I was blown away by the Grand Canyon
I find it so frustrating that every square inch of this entire planet is
filmed and recorded by satellites every second of every day and yet nobody will release aerial footage proving the cause of these many disappearances that have been occurring daily for decades!!!!!!
Lol every inch of the planet every second of every day? How do you figure that’s possible?
Hollywood...
@Jeremy Kirkpatrick Yeahhh, not really correct? It's one of the most incorrect statements ever made, but I have to commend you on your politeness. I need more of that skill.
@Jeremy Kirkpatrick Yes you humans are indeed idiots. In fact, why don't some of you come into the woods alone to look for, what do you humans call it... Bigfoot? You just might spot him!
Are you braindead?
Honestly, I didn't know the Grand Canyon was a massive park. I thought it was just the edge of the canyon.
Gotta love them Top Shelf Mysteries!
Been waiting for this 🤘
Very interesting cases as always. I find the last one the most puzzling.
Yeah you and me both

I would never get that close to the edge, especially with someone behind me

Haha! Yeah that basically is the case
Great video and such beautiful vistas. Sometimes it feels these places have so many missing folk that you would think on their latest quests the search team would stumble upon old cases or at least their backpacks etc. Thanks TM, your channel is well researched and narrated as always.
Hey Celeste, yeah you would certainly think that they would find something at some point
@@MissingVoidTV I'm sure someone on here will enlighten us of such a tale...lol...cheers!
That happens a lot actually. Usually with bodies unfortunately. They'll look for one and find a different one
great video thanks for the info !!
Is there any correlation between the limestone ,lava caves and these disappearances. As they are on the same location
You have some of the best content on TH-cam
Yet Again.. Awesome Narrations 🍻💕
Love the length of these videos
Im going to the Grand Canyon to work for 5months in 15 days. If i go missing, my initials are "CRK".
Thanks for the content. Great as always.
The bodies never being found, not even a trace, is bothersome. There is always scraps of clothing, partial remains, tracks etc. that can be found in normal circumstances.
I don't think you have any concept of how large and rugged an area this is and that the river washes anything quickly away and buries it.
And if some people get their way with destroying Glen Canyon Dam, you are going to have more water going through the Canyon.
I was wondering...
How come none of the people who are in the search party ever go missing? Searching for a missing person under mysterious circumstances would scare the crap out of me. Just saying
David Paulides speaks of a case in Alaska where a game warden goes missing in a search. Never found him or his snowmobile apparently
Good point!
@@veritasetutilitas5432 Also one of his very recent videos shows the map of where a man went missing, then a search plane went down, then a search plane for the search plane went down....and yes, you guessed it ..a third plane went down in the search. Amazing.
I agree . You’d think you’d never want to be alone in these hot spots . David Paulides says it nearly always the person way in the front or way in the back that vanish . And whatever does it has a perfect success rate , of both abducting and keeping its anonymity . Creepy !
Because the woods are filled with searchers? And it does sometimes happen.
Glad you're back.thanks for the great video.🥰
You're almost at 100,000 subscribers! 🙂
Good channel 😁😁
Thankyou for sharing these rather tragic stories.
Strange place. Egyptian artifacts were found there
If it’s not been suggested yet, you should make T-shirts with your Top Mysteries logo on the front, and “Let’s get bizarre,” on the back. I’ll take 15% of the profits, and you’re welcome.
Haha! I will do something like that at some point
I think you should make Channy Fanny Tshirts and keep 100% of the profits and you're welcome!
@@MissingVoidTV what about making tee-shirts to make people aware of the numerous missing person cases and proceeds can go to distress beacons for the national park service?????
@@gregolson5532 what about missing person national park tee-shirts and proceeds go to the national park service for locator beacons????
@@ericstevens2586 Bravo! You are onto something!
I remember Glen & Besie fro an episode of unsolved mysteries 💯💯🙏👍🙏👍💯
very nice stories very,,,unsettling
I had a really crazy thing happen to me last weekend, I was flying a rc plane with an 8 foot wingspan and it was 200 feet right in front of me and all of sudden the plane got this thin bright light around it and it vanished right in front of me. I am still in shock.
I think these missing people are stepping into something that just takes them.
I know it sounds crazy but it happened. I was looking right at it and poof gone.
I fail to understand how people get lost. I have never gotten lost, and have been more than 20 miles from my home. 1. Carry a compass, or learn to tell time and all by the sun. Know the direction you entered, mark your trail..... Never go anywhere and fail to tell others where you are going. A GPS implanted within you or on you at all times is a good thing. NEVER go alone.
I suggest Morgans case was a safety accident. He was wearing flipflops, very inappropriate for the rocks and river. I feel he probably slipped in his flipflops and hit his head leaving him unconscious when he entered the water and floated away.
Very possible!
he was wearing Chaco sandals, which many outdoors people wear. They have excellent tread, they are nothing like flip flops. I guess you don't get out much.
This could well be a great old one . I've done research on top of research and this phenomenon could well be linked to the fae. Something like an entity, elemental or an old one .
Maybe even a vellumental 😬🥴
Tosh! No such thing.
Thank you, the reason is the tone of your voice, seems like you're reading from a script, in a documentary or story, the narrator 's voice is Huge for me
