  • Penguinz0 checks out an amazing vide­o by Barley Sociable that delve­s into the strange and puzzling incident at Japan's Daise­tsuan National Park. Over time, seve­ral hikers have vanished without a trace­. The only clues left be­hind are an elaborate SOS sign made­ from birch trees, see­n from the air, and a distressing audio recording of the­ir cries for help.
    As the inve­stigation progressed, the grim discove­ry of human remains added a dark chapter to the­ story. Authorities and rescue te­ams have scoured the are­a, but no clear answers have surface­d, leaving the fate of the­ hikers shrouded in mystery. What dark se­crets does the Daise­tsuan National Park hold? Join us as we analyze the e­vidence, discuss potential the­ories, and ponder what truly happene­d on that remote mountainside.

    Here's a likely scenario about that mystery axe. The cops actually found it, but some dumb idiot at the evidence storage department lost it. And since the case was a big one, the police department decided to just hide the fact that they lost evidence under their care.

    • @DEMONICxHADES

      Honestly, that makes a lot of sense because Japanese people care a lot about their public view. So if someone from the police department really did lose the evidence, they would never let that be known.

      Isn’t more likely that the search was inadequate and just didn’t turn up an axe? The person could have lost it somewhere or used it as protection (by throwing it towards and animal) and it got lost in the dirt/foliage.

    Not relevant to the story, but "hardwood" and "softwood" really necessarily refer to the density of the wood anymore. It did start like that, as angiosperms grow slower than gymnosperms and thus usually will have desner wood. But there are hardwood trees with lower specific desnity than softwood trees. We use softwoods in most buildings and hardwood for carving. Just random facts from a forester

    My theory is they didn’t make a mistake when testing the bones originally. It was most likely a woman with type o blood, and the guy calling for help wasn’t the missing guy they said did this all. Seems like 3 different people and their belongings (only one body) got found together by complete accident after the group that was found said it wasn’t their sos sign. And it was either a park ranger who is a serial killer that covered it up, or the Japanese government doesn’t want to cause panic by telling everyone Japan has a serial killer on the loose at a park.

    If only trees could talk...
    Trees are actually extremely heavy and difficult to cut down, so I personally cannot see one little office dude cutting down ANY tree, let alone over ten trees, dragging each one into an empty plain, WITHOUT dying of dehydration first. The best thing I could think of is maybe a hiking team (maybe outsiders or guests visiting the country) saw the skeleton and put together the SOS themselves so someone could find the body at a later time. They could have even told people afterwards, but weren't believed, or maybe they didn't care. It just looks to me like a team of people had to make the sign. No axe because they took it with them. It's not that hard to believe if it's an area people regularly get lost in, so much that there's a "fake safe rock".

    It would be very easy for the axe to be lost and buried over time out there. The narrator assumes the gnaw marks on the bones were from an animal attack, and that's where the injuries came from. Animals don't "gnaw" during an attack. Those marks are from animals finding the body and scavenging. Most injuries like that while hiking on a mountain are from falls. He probably fell after making the SOS sign, and died from exposure or starvation or something along those lines because he couldn't move around.

    whats specifically weird about this to me is how did they mess up female bones and male bones/blood type? i guess the pelvic bones were missing?? because if they have the pelvic bone, that's the best sex-related characteristic to determine whether or not a skeleton belongs to a man or woman. 95 percent of the time they can tell that a skeleton belongs to a man or woman based on that alone. and sure, most skeleton bones vary between binary extremes as we age, but i think its specifically weird here that they messed up that identification ontop of all the creepy details. getting the blood type wrong too is very weird to me, because it makes me wonder how valid the idea is that blood type can be determined from human bones. its possible that parts of the body which were necessary for analysis were missing, or maybe lacking in what was left. personally i think its fair to suggest that there mightve been so little evidence here that the japanese police made up that the bones were male and simply matched iwamura's blood type so that they wouldn't have a bizarre cold case.

    My guess is that he did not cut down the trees, he prolly found them already cut and put them into the SOS shape. The recording was to keep "screaming" for help and he most likely injured his leg pre-mortum and thats why he did not just walk down the mountain. The hole under roots where the backpack was found sounds like a root roll, aka a tree that has fallen over and pulled up roots and soil, it was probabl used as a wind shelter.

    Without looking into the details myself, I’d say that Charlie was most correct in saying that the missing Hiker used a rock to cut down the trees. It’s an ancient form of an ax called an Adz. Ancient Hawaiians used those to cut down and make canoes out of Koa Trees, a much harder Hardwood than Birch, here in Hawaii.

    • @TitaniumTurbine
      @TitaniumTurbine 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That seems crazy unreliable when you’re in such a large forested area, not to mention it was found in a backpack. It’s a tape recorder, so it can’t loop automatically and trusting an animal will then go and find help is also a LOT to expect. Most wild animals are skiddish and run away when they come across humans. So no, that theory doesn’t really explain a lot. That’s an objectively bad idea, especially if the person is injured and trying to find/hold down an animal to tape a recorder to their body.

    That is such a good idea to cover up a murder tho, like if you find a dead body out in the middle of nowhere next to an sos sign and a tape recording than the youre gonna think he just got lost. And it easily explains both the axe being gone and the lack of noise on the recording.

    The fact that the police closed the case without knowing what happened to the axe, isn't as big of an issue as it is made out to be, as there are many homicides that are solved, without the weapon ever being found. Hell, many cases are even solved without a body, these days.

    1 it’s entirely possible that he may have had a tool and they just never found it or maybe while he was defending himself from an animal. He had the animal with it an animal ran., 2 hardwood and softwood aren’t classifications of their hardness. It’s a misleading name generally for Evergreen and not Evergreen. There are plenty of softwoods that are harder than hardwoods. all Evergreen trees like pine trees and cedars are softwoods. 3. To explain the SOS he may have followed the basic survival rule of if you’re lost stay where you are so that way people can find you and then he had an accident.. as much as it would be fun to imagine there’s some render mystery. He likely just bet it down maiden SOS the tool was lost and he died.

If his bones where nore spread out than animals would've moved them given the time frame. So clearly someone killed him. Plus bo backhround noise on the tape or nothing.

      I disagree on that theory. Being in moderate to severe pain can make somebody sound like that too, along with being scared and lost. We also don’t know how long they were actually screaming before the recording and how worn out their voice might be, projecting your voice in an era with a lot of foliage can be exhausting. Lots of down-to-earth theories that make sense instead of something malicious.

    Are we sure the logs were cut? You can also burn through a log with fire. It would be helpful to see a photo of the ends of the logs to see if there are any distinct markings from tools or fire. If an ax was involved then maybe another hiker came across it and carried it away. Or maybe dude left the ax somewhere else, wherever he got injured. Like maybe he fell off a cliff and left the ax and was too injured to climb back up for it. Maybe he climbed a tree and left the ax in the tree and then fell. So many possibilities!

    The answer is a simple one. There is a recluse living in that area. He tried to help injured hiker, cut the trees, made SOS sign and pretty much said, "ok, that's all I can do", then left the hiker to die. Various other artifacts from other hikers he may have tried to help, he left there, with the SOS sign, wanting to be done with all of it. Police may be aware of his presence and don't want to disturb him. Thus, case closed without a lot of follow up.
    See! Simple.
