Hey all, the timeline in regards to the incidents taking place in this case is pretty all over the place in the press. I've done what I can to piece it together, but I'd like to hear your thoughts too. I'd also like to know if you've heard of Sandra's disappearance before?
Heard this case on Mr Ballen a while back, then recently again on Kyle Hates Hiking. Two VERY different tellings of the same basic story, one spun one way, the other another, to suit each channel’s specific audience. Your version is 🎯
I follow quite a bit of missing person cases but this isn’t one I’ve heard yet. I’ve actually found quite a few on your channel I haven’t heard of which is great 😍
The amount of people that saw this woman after she was reported missing has always stuck with me. It's so creepy to know that so many people saw her and now she can't be found anywhere 😢
Keep in mind we are just taking their word for it. For all we know it was just some doppelgänger. I thought I saw Bernie sanders at a restaurant but it was just some old white guy
Definitely heard of it before-it stuck in my mind because we share a first name, I had blue hair at the time, and we were close in age. Hope her family gets answer someday.
Some brain injuries are so innocuous, and they can be deadly. I suffered a large stroke after coughing. Yes,..coughing. I had a regular coughing fit one morning, recovered after a minute so, felt a twinge in my neck, but was fine and got on with my day. Unknownst to me, I had coughed so hard I had made a tiny tear in my neck artery, which was slowly seeping blood up to my brain. It took till late that same night for me to feel any ill effects. It started as dizzyness, and nausea, then deteriorated into me being very confused, and unable to stay balanced enough to walk. The blood had clotted in my brain and caused a stroke. Now imagine doing this in the wilds,.. you could physically move around, do stuff, but with cognitive impairment, and possibly even in flight mode, being avoidant, or believing you're in danger from folk, before eventually becoming so physically impaired that you collapse. I believe something like this may have happened to Sandra. RIP Sandra.
🌼🌷🌼 Think it was very kind that you didn't title this story/investigation "Missing Blue Hair Lady." I Remember a few videos on her years ago and Main focus ~ blue hair. The little boy seeing a woman and his description of her is truly amazing. Thank you Missing Void, your stories are much easier to follow and you're very kind/respectful to victims & Families. Have a nice weekend. RIP Sandra Hughes 💙🕊
Love the research, time & hard effort you put into your videos Adam. It is Always a pleasure to be part of a channel that acknowledges its Comment section!!.. For good or bad. 👍 A person that does look for feedback & tries to accommodate their followers. Take care & stay safe 🦅
You have the perfect voice to narrate these videos. New subscriber from Oregon, US. I agree its never a good idea to go camping alone in a vast place like that.
Hey Adam, I’ve seen her case before but your video was no doubt the best and most in depth that I have seen!! Appreciate your hard work and am always looking forward to your next video!! Take care bro!! 🫡
This is the first video of yours i have seen, what a creepy story full of so many questions. Really enjoyed listening to it whilst i cooked dinner though, definitley subscribing, Thank you !
I'm surprised that the people who saw Sandra with the bruise said everything seemed in order - except she was barefoot on a hiking trail. There is no way being barefoot on a hiking trail should appear normal. It's such a shame that a few of those who saw her didn't put a quick call into the rangers. Perhaps these are things to learn from - firstly, a quick call to park rangers about slightly strange incidents are not a waste of time, and also, never assume someone who refuses medical assistance is, in fact, okay.
I used to go solo hiking out in the woods all the time in my 20s and it made my mom so nervous. After all the strange missing hiker/camper/hunter cases I’ve seen I would never do it again. It actually gives me chills thinking about how often I used to.
Classic missing 411 case. I love the added folklore because once you do enough research into these topics they become alot more than just "fantastical stories". It's a phenomenon that's as old as recorded history, and gives us clues and real perspectives into what this realm we live in really is.
The sheer number of clues, physical evidence and sightings, if all added up together make for one of the strangest cases I've ever heard of....and I've read every single 411 book, watched every 411video, etc etc. Trying to use ordinary LOGIC or REASON to determine the meaning of various clues and evidence seems to disintegrate in this case. Soooo many odd factors here......great case review......bravo!!!
Can I ask if that's even possible even if your dead can your body move like a barbie I have never seen anybody's legs straight up when there face down 😮can u tell me how that's possible???
I'd also seen on other sites that the hikers who found the campsite, said it was trashed and looked like it had been abandoned for some time, not days.
People running grow areas want one thing more than literally anything else..... for as many ppl as possible to be as far away as possible for those areas. They damn sure don't want a full blown search, led by park rangers and law enforcement officials, including dogs, helicopters, etc.
Yeah the area she was camping is smack in the middle of a pretty busy camping and hiking area just south of yosemite. Her sleeping bag was also found inside yosemite so the idea that growers had an operation in an area like that where campers and hikers could wander into the product is ridiculous.
@@unropednope4644 Agreed....and it's the 2020's. No one's out there trying to cultivate a pot farm in the middle of a national park, and they sure as hell aren't willing to become murderers for being discovered, even if it was a plausible reason Edit to add: even if they were, no one, and I do mean NO ONE, is spending any amount of money on some garbage weed like that lol. Yea, that whole theory is just absurd
More than likely she just wanted to disappear and not be found. Some people do do that when things get so bad that they can't handle it. No one will ever know for sure.
No post disappearance bank activity makes it more than likely this was not a voluntary act. This was a local story & most of the strangest details were not given to local outlets
I thought here's a middle aged woman, has 2 marriages behind her, never had kids, sold her home and is wandering about literally in the wilderness. Even though she phoned her family she might've been depressed and wanted to end her life alone, before anyone tried to stop her. Also if she did suffer a head injury that would explain the sightings of her not having shoes on or any sort of provisions. I do hope her soul is at peace.
Your videos have had a strange effect on me. I have not used drugs or alcohol in 2 months since watching your vids. Something about the creepiness makes me want to always be aware of my surrendings and able to defend myself.
Remember the squirrel guy who put bodies into living hollow tree trunks by way of holes he cut up high and then sealed them up? This is something that terrifies me. And that fills my mind when i hear cases especially this one when the boy descreibed her legs "above"
Is it possible that the car crash happened prior to the campsite being set up, then ransacked ? From what I heard, the area is very remote. So it seems like that her car was only spotted by other hikers subsequent to the first set of hikers discovering her campsite
OK I'm not sure who's sense of direction is off here. Chiquito Creek area is South of Johnson Meadows, not North. It has been awhile (40+ yrs.) but I recall the Mugler Creek area being North of Johnson Meadows. Her actions as reported by people who saw her, might indicate her just checking out the dimension just next to ours. Easy enough to do with Peyote, just a jump to the left and a step to your right presto yer there. Not saying that is the case but, looking at her lifestyle, the area she was in, it is a possibility that shouldn't be dismissed. The compassion you show in your uploads, is always a breath of fresh air. Thank you.
I suspect many cases like this are explained by a head injury. And I don't think the campsite state necessarily needs an explaination as much as her disappearance does.
She could've also been malnourished or dehydrated, particularly if she'd picked up a stomach bug etc. (perhaps from drinking questionable water). Edit: There is also the possibility she had a fall (causing the bruise or not) causing head trauma, and that the crash didn't cause much or any damage. I've also seen stories of people feeling like they are being stalked and seeing figures that aren't actually there, just from the fear of being alone in the woods (hence not wanting to interact with real people, as confusing them with the hallucinations). She could've also entered a fugue state after a time and her brain defaulted to 'goal is to go north to Yosemite' as that was a clear aim for her. It's a shame they couldn't get her family out to that area, she may have been distrusting of strangers, but perhaps would've been able to recognise their voices 😢 The Kayden sighting, makes me wonder if he saw a poster (that his family didn't notice) on the way in and got confused or worried about seeing her once out there
Regarding the theory that she stumbled onto a grow operation, I spoke with a helicopter pilot who has previously provided air support for the Forestry Service in California. He has assisted in destroying hundreds of grow operations over the course of several years. Although it wasn't unheard of, more often than not, grow operations they came across did not have armed security guarding the crops. If they did exist, they weren't in the habit of getting into a fire fight with law enforcement or bringing attention to the site in cases where a member of the public stumbled across it. There were two things that I found especially interesting in our discussion. In cases where they came across 'employees' at a grow site, they were not in the country legally. Why? Because when caught, the only logical recourse is sending them back to their country of citizenship without filing criminal charges. The other thing I found interesting was the volume of of grow operations. The pilot stated that they broke up an average of 300 operations a year in the years he was involved. Remember, these are just the number of grow operations found. I didn't ask, but I wonder what percentage of all operations are discovered and destroyed?
According to the National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics 138,543 million or 50% of people 12 and older have used illicit drugs at least once. I am horrified that kids that young use drugs. At that age I was playing with toys and watching cartoons. I am disgusted by and feel contempt for those that grow drugs or create them in a lab. I think Hughes problem stemmed from a mental health issue, depression.
I'm from Brazil, and the first time I heard about this Sandra Hughes case was on a channel here in Brazil called Sinistro Henridrick Alves, which is about cases of supposed apparitions of spirits. I confess that I was scared by the story of the 3-year-old boy named Kadyn, who told his parents that there was a lady, in a black shirt, blue jeans, with dyed blue hair, upside down with her legs up. I believe in the spiritual world. Small children and animals can see spirits more easily. This story by the boy Kadyn tells how Sandra may have died. She must have crashed the car and become disoriented. She went to the tent and got out, and then fell into a hole and died, with her head down and her legs up, exactly as the boy said. So, most likely her spirit is not at peace, because no one knows where she is, and that's why she appeared to the boy, because he was the only one who understood her as a spirit.
@@akashicrecords9672 Brazil is a very religious country and today we have practically half of the population divided between Catholics and Evangelicals (Protestants). But you're not American? Where are you from?
I'm so confused! I've seen this case on other channels and it was nothing like this, where there was no car involved at all, let alone a car accident, and one had to walk miles through the forest to the remote meadow, you couldn't drive there. Obviously, I trust your version, but I'd appreciate more info about the roads in that area, and if she could have driven to the meadow in a car or if you'd need a 4-wheel drive truck on the tracrough t
It's not clear how close to the meadow her car was parked, I'm not sure anyone knows that. As you say, the area is very remote, but a couple of days later, her silver saab 9-5 was found 6 miles to the north in a ravine after colliding with a tree, then she was spotted with the bruising to her face
It is totally bizarre; 3 ppl in Garibaldi Park, Squamish, BC, Canada, 2024, recently went missing end of May, followed by stormy weather. It happens quite a lot in BC. Cheers
Thanks for another great video! Very weird case, I had a mild concussion once and all I wanted to do for a week was sleep, so I can't imagine if she had one that she'd be on the move; it really sounds more like a psychotic break. As for the child, it just sounds like he parents wanted media attention and prepped the boy, showed him the photo, etc.
Don't know about that! Would you "prep your boy" just for attention? Children have much clearer psychic perception than adults. Probably due to no calcification of their third eye!
Brain injuries, depending on the area of the brain, can make u do some crazy stuff. I damaged my left temperal lobe and after being knocked out for a while, got up, and wondered everywhere not knowing anything.
This is the most shameful aspect during the covid period thats being ignored its clear that Sandra wasn't in the right frame of mind and just wanted to go off to be in peace from all the craziness that was going on and who knows what happened after did even the most experienced hikers can often run into trouble so something similar may well have happened to Sandra
Only most of the time lol. No fr tho, I had a female acquaintance from AA who went on solo backpacking trips all the time, and the anxiety until I knew she was home was intense haha.
I am her first husband and she appears in many of my dreams since going missing ...she appears like nothing happened and is confused as to all the surprise. Just my brain trying to tell me she's fine when it doesn't want to face the alternative
here's another scenario senators said of her campsite and while setting it up she had a stroke a bad one and it affected her coordination on trying to do anything else so she tried to get out of there and while driving out she got stuck somewhere for a day Finally she's able to get wherever she was stuck out of the car the wherever she was stuck and continued on driving and then hit the tree stump where she got out and was like injured at that point but she was disoriented and unable to function properly and ask questions all she can do is go yeah I'm okay yeah I'm I'm okay cuz this make any sense the only reason I suggest is because out of stroke a few years back mild one luckily and my coordination was all over the place for the first few days I could not walk right I could not talk right I could not move my left arm or my left leg correctly I could barely stand I had to limp everywhere going it was like my leg was dead no functionality whatsoever luckily I got to the hospital a couple of days later and got checked out and they said yeah you had a small stroke I've been declared fine now by the neurologist and I'm good to go I mean I still have a little tremor on my left side occasionally when I try and move things in a certain way so I try not to move that light but I can see that happening if you're out on a camping trip and you get a stroke you get no way to get help you're screwed if you're only recourses you getting yourself out of there and you have to drive with impairment it's not going to happen well
Thank you, my mum had a stroke on Sunday, left arm and leg, speech the same as you, she's in the acute stroke unit and been told it was a mini stroke (i cant remember proper word). 2 times in the last couple of months the whites of one of her eyes went black, the optician said burst blood vessels and said its fine, when my mum was taken to hospital on Sunday her blood pressure was very high, we think her eye situation was a early warning. As its early days for my mum we are all worried about her future and recovery, so basically, I'm grateful to have read your comment as you point out u have recovered use of your limbs, gives us hope :)
Yup. Then where is she? A debilitating stroke causing disorientation would keep her from going too far. And dogs, and, well, where is she? Stroke my ass.
@@friendlydark Its very possible, depending on the type of stroke. I had a rare type of stroke called a cerebellar stroke. It happens at the back of the head. I never lost the use of my legs or arms, but i was nauseous, dizzy, and stumbling around like I was very drunk, but still able to speak clearly. I could have attempted to drive a car in that state, but i would have been like a very drunk person behind the wheel, and would likely have crashed the car at some point, or went off a road. I went about my usual day until late the same night, when I really started to deteriorate, and could'nt balance enough to walk. So, yes, it really is possible to still drive with certain types of stroke. Albeit dangerously. The thing is, you don't realise you're having a stroke either,..you just think you're having some kind of 'funny turn' or episode. You really dont comprehend the seriousness of whats happening to you,..hence getting in a car and thinking you're ok to do so.
It seems Sandra was taking stock of her life at a time when being close to anyone but family was impossible. It sounded like she was in shock, though it would have eventually subsided. The car accident would not account for the shock. I think it happened after she made camp. Those who saw her with the car, it was said, asked if she needed help? Besides no or a shake of the head we know nothing more about the encounter. Were the men who saw her standing next to a tree really seeing her? What were they seeing if it was her? This is a case I have heard about and think about now and then.
Hi Adam! I think this case regarding Sandra's disappearance is downright creepy and bizarre, even when I first heard about her going missing the details leading up to her disappearance is just weird. I'm speculating but I think that she had a mental break due to the start of the pandemic. I hope they will be able to find her so her family can have peace of mind. Timber
A three year old can’t take in the news like we can. What’s the first news story you remember and how old? Mine was Dahmer and I remember the cops being shown taking out his fridge. I was 8 and barely remember it.
@@stargatisPerhaps the parents were lying,although he did say police got in touch with them once they seen the story on Facebook but this could have still been a story for attention,not anticipating the police would pick up on it but others surely would(guess only they know) but leave a few breadcrumbs
I don’t think it’s a given the disappearance and the messy campsite are linked. Perhaps she left campsite neat, took the car to hike somewhere more distant, had an accident and a disorienting head injury. The abandoned campsite eventually attracts bears, mountain lions, raccoons and/or other creatures that go through it anticipating human food. It’s possible too the head injury happened before the accident. Maybe she had a stroke or aneurysm and recognizing something is wrong she attempted to drive herself to help. Hence an accident and wandering.
It doesn't take much to rattle your brain. I got rear-ended while at a stop, not bad enough to deploy airbags or even hit my head, but the whiplash was enough to scramble me cognitively. I took down the license plate and model of car wrong and drove myself home rather than calling anyone because that was my original plan. I also was ready to fight the other driver briefly before I calmed down. Long story short, it doesn't need to be a massive head injury to cause short term cognitive impairment.
The hypothesis that she was experiencing the initial stage of a psychological breakdown during the plandemic comes as no surprise. Her age, failed relationships and that nomadic lifestyle may have contributed to a rather lonely, gloomy outlook for the future and she might have felt more hopeless than any other time in her life. If she did stumble upon criminals with bad intentions it might have tipped her over the edge. Perhaps she saw no way out of the situation as she was being led away, barefoot to her final resting place and instead just accepted her fate. Was she told not to raise alarm during that final journey knowing that it would ultimately lead to others being murdered? RIP Sandy.
Loving the new manga-style pics...SOOO much better than the library stock rubbish that's used over & over again by other channels - really good 👍 But that wolf-howl at the beginning is missed!!! Great channel 👏
i believe you’re mistaken about where they saw here when they said the chiquita trail head. the chiquita trailhead begins off the “5S04” road where her car was found
At some point, I think they will discover her, just as Caden described. There is just no way he made that up, and an fairly innocent child, will just relay what they have perceived, however that came to them, perhaps by intuition.
Cognitive science student here - While I am not the most knowledgable about the topic (yet) and an opinion of a real expert with expirience in this field would be needed, to me it looks a lot like bias induced paranoia turned into a delusion. Bias induced paranoia is an example of cognitive heuristic (behavioral mechanisms that cause us to expect specific outcomes of actions because it's evolutionary simpler/safer) which states that when a person comes into a random chance scenario with a bias of it being set up against them, and the first interaction of that scenario ends with a negative outcome, then they will expect all other outcomes to also be negative even if they are in fact random or set up in their favour, for exmaple: if you have a coin tossing game and someone tells you that the coin is weighted during playing, and you lose the next throw, then you automatically assume that the previous tosses were mostly lost no matter if the actual results that you just went through really were, like if the coin turned out to be actually fair or even stacked in your favour you will retroactively assume that this expierience ended with a negative total sum result for you - in other words you had retroactively created a paranoid delusion about something that you expierienced because assuming a loss and cutting the interaction short posesses less risk than actually attempting something that's even might be set up against you. Like pretty much all cognitive biases they can turn into actual delusions or temporary episodes if the person expieriencing them is under high levels of stress or shock, like how Sandra seems to have been. My personal opinion is that she was set into a mindset of "everyone being a potential danger" because of what was going on in the world at the time, and then something might have happened at the campsite which unfortunately caused her to snap in that specific way at that exact moment, and as such she thought that everyone was out to get her - she then built an entire narrative about the trip and how many "signs" there were that something bad was going to happen, and as such likely feared for her life but because her delusions weren't psychotic or manic in nature she was able to remain collected enough to gather useful stuff, change of clothes and to make a plan of actions ahead. The "walking barefoot" part also seems to me like it reinforces the scenario that she thought she was being followed by someone but being sane enough to actively somewhat rationally react to it - in general tracking someone who is barefoot is extremely hard, bootprints are much more noticible than footprints and she might've thought that taking off her shoes would make her harder to track.
Hitting the tree slow enough that the airbag didn't deploy could mean it was deliberate. She would've had to have not been wearing her seatbelt to suffer significant injury at that speed, though the slide down the hill could've injured her. The crash could've been staged. As for the campsite, maybe she was attacked or chased off by people, who then ransacked the camp looking for valuables. It's possible they caused her injuries, and may have taken her keys, then staged the car crash to misdirect investigators. As an afterthought, they ransacked it too. Meanwhile, she was stuck out there with no gear (or shoes), because she hadn't planned to leave camp. I wouldn't be surprised if wilderness areas were more populated than usual during the pandemic. There would've been plenty of people thinking it was a good time to get away from civilization. Not all of them would've been competent and not all of them would've been friendly.
im tossing ideas around in my head and each time it ends with "but then how did the campsite get so messy?" its the thing thats so weird to me BOTH the car and the campsite were messy so maybe she wanted to just dissapear to go off grid so she made both the car and tent messy to make a fake scene and go off grid? cant be she had NOTHING no shoes was beaten a little and was supposedly found in between yosemite and her start so maybe she just had nothing but pure determination and kept walking to yosemite? i have NO clue i try to rationalise it but theres always some error with it
I think perhaps she got lost while doing extreme social distancing so when she ran into people perhaps it freaked her out. I could picture her avoiding people and not wanting to get Covid at the time. Everyone was scared at the time! 😮
But many of these cases involve people who become disoriented and have removed their shoes. There’s also missing time, she’s wandering around in a time loop and unable to get her bearings. Cheers
I think it's better to just look at the clear facts, and fair assumptions. Sandra left Hawaii for California after the pandemic started, to change her surroundings. once she arrived and settled in, she chose to go on a hike to get away. she was clearly looking for change. she successfully camped at another site, then drove to the meadow. she set up her tent, unpacked her belongings from her car and placed them until the tent, and was in the meadow. at some point, she begins going through all of her belongings, and removing most of her belongings from the tent, dumping the contents of her bags on the ground, and inspecting, then discarding, the majority of her items in general. she discards nearly of them, except her sleeping bag and potentially a couple of other critical supplies, and gets back in her car. she drives to the next site, where she slowly drives her car over a stump, and into a shallow ravine, causing minor injuries, as if to force the car into a stuck position that she could not return to for escape, and from which no one else could simply drive the car away, and again throws all unimportant belongings out of the car, as if purposefully choosing to individually go through every item, reject it as meaningful, and disavow and discard it. "what is truly useful? what is meaningful and essential? what do I actually need to reach my goal?". she then discards her shoes, to walk with her feet touching the earth, carrying her sleeping bag and a couple essential items. she is spotted by hikers, barefoot and bruised, where she insists that she is fine, and does not want medical attention. she then moves straight north, toward yosemite national park. she sleeps in her sleeping bag at night, but at some point, chooses to also discard her sleeping bag, leaving even that behind. meaningless items, unnecessary to become one with nature and return to a meaningful state, and not needed anymore to reach her goal. at some point, that desire to become closer to nature, and further away from human problems, may have led her to accept death in the wilderness, I assume, getting as close to yosemite as possible, since that seemed to be her goal. I would wager that she wanted to at least make it to yosemite before passing. she may have changed clothes at some point, since she was known to have been carrying at least a sleeping bag up to the point that she discarded even that belonging. she could not have survived for more than a couple weeks, I would assume. the person spotted in overalls was either a case of mistaken identity, or another apparition. I'm led to believe it was an apparition, due to the fact that she had no facial expression, did not acknowledge the presence of other people, stared straight ahead, and did not respond. this is extremely common amongst apparitions. her spirit is then seen again by 3 year old kayden wearing the clothes she was last known to be wearing, in a position that leads me to believe that she may have fallen face first off of a small embankment, with her face down, or with her face turned downward to the side facing the ground, and legs slightly bent upward against the incline. her body may be laying on an incline somewhere. those are the basic facts, in my estimation. it seems to me that she developed an obsession with material items, nature, and yosemite national park. she did not want help, and seemed to choose this path, which led to the end of her life. she was so interested in nature that she chose to study it in college. her obsession with living wild in nature may have led to her death. the child said she needed help, which is very sad. I'll pray for the respite of her soul tonight, and I hope you'll do the same for her. may God put her to rest.
The conclusion I came up with is that people were just saying they seen her for clout…. Those hunters there’s no way they just see her not responding and don’t say nothing… I mean and the kid did they use ground penetrating radar because she could’ve been buried face down when the kids seen her
The only worrying thing about 2020 is how mental everyone acted. This disappearance was close to where i live. She clearly didn’t want to be found. Most people don’t understand how easy it is to die out here. By end of June it’s already extremely hot usually. 2020 was no exception. It was a miserable summer. (People actually expected laborers to wear masks in the heat, so mental, and why I remember because I left my job as I refused to wear a mask in 111 degrees) The terrain is rugged, dry, and dangerous. The only bears in the region are black bears which while they can be dangerous, they usually are not but they do rifle through belongings to get food. Mountain lions are the only real predator for human adults in the area. Though coyote packs can do damage again it’s rare. Rattlesnakes are also dangerous if you don’t have a way to get medical attention. The sad fact is that sometimes people voluntarily disappear for their own reasons. But more than anything people don’t realize how rugged and rough the area can be. They are used to temperate forests etc and they are “fit” for hiking in temperate climates. They have no idea the environment they are getting themselves into. They don’t bring enough water, they don’t protect themselves from the sun, they get themselves in a bad situation and they walk DOWN a ravine etc to water and they don’t realize the creek is probably dry and that the temp can change 10+ degrees when you descend to dry water sources. The witnesses are the element that makes it weird/strange. The most likely scenario is probably pretty explainable
Well said, people go to wilderness to check out a lot more than it’s reported. Misadventure is another big problem, central cal heat is no freakin joke. I think bout that family that perished on that hike in Mariposa in middle of summer.
This case makes me crazy!! I think Sandra was killed and whoever did it messed up her campsight, stole her car and possibly her sleeping bag. Everytime I hear this case I think she is desperate for someone to catch her killer, thats why she is seen by so many people. I don't think Sandra was alive in any of the sightings. I find it sad that her soul is wandering around the forest trying to get someone's attention to catch her killer. Years ago marijuana growers could be suspected but not so much now because its legal to grow, so its not as big of a deal.
either a stroke or foul play, beginning of covid maybe it’s serial killer, i feel like a national forest is like a serial killers playground just waiting for young woman to come alone into the wilderness…..
Hey all, the timeline in regards to the incidents taking place in this case is pretty all over the place in the press. I've done what I can to piece it together, but I'd like to hear your thoughts too. I'd also like to know if you've heard of Sandra's disappearance before?
Yes, I have! 🙂 But it's a good creepy case to cover!
I've heard of her case it's bizarre and creepy.

Love the howl! It's your brand!
Agreed!! Please bring it back Adam 🥰
I like the howl too! 🙂
Bring back the howl. 🐺
This is one of the creepier missing persons case.
Definitely heard of it before-it stuck in my mind because we share a first name, I had blue hair at the time, and we were close in age. Hope her family gets answer someday.
Some brain injuries are so innocuous, and they can be deadly. I suffered a large stroke after coughing. Yes,..coughing. I had a regular coughing fit one morning, recovered after a minute so, felt a twinge in my neck, but was fine and got on with my day. Unknownst to me, I had coughed so hard I had made a tiny tear in my neck artery, which was slowly seeping blood up to my brain. It took till late that same night for me to feel any ill effects. It started as dizzyness, and nausea, then deteriorated into me being very confused, and unable to stay balanced enough to walk. The blood had clotted in my brain and caused a stroke. Now imagine doing this in the wilds,.. you could physically move around, do stuff, but with cognitive impairment, and possibly even in flight mode, being avoidant, or believing you're in danger from folk, before eventually becoming so physically impaired that you collapse. I believe something like this may have happened to Sandra. RIP Sandra.

🌼🌷🌼 Think it was very kind that you didn't title this story/investigation "Missing Blue Hair Lady." I Remember a few videos on her years ago and Main focus ~ blue hair. The little boy seeing a woman and his description of her is truly amazing. Thank you Missing Void, your stories are much easier to follow and you're very kind/respectful to victims & Families.
Have a nice weekend.
RIP Sandra Hughes

Love the research, time & hard effort you put into your videos Adam.
It is Always a pleasure to be part of a channel that acknowledges its Comment section!!.. For good or bad. 👍
A person that does look for feedback & tries to accommodate their followers.
Take care & stay safe 🦅
You have the perfect voice to narrate these videos. New subscriber from Oregon, US. I agree its never a good idea to go camping alone in a vast place like that.
Hey Adam, I’ve seen her case before but your video was no doubt the best and most in depth that I have seen!! Appreciate your hard work and am always looking forward to your next video!! Take care bro!!
🫡
Appreciated, thank you Jamie
Thank you for such excellent coverage of such a strange case! Always so happy to see another uploaded video by you.
This is the first video of yours i have seen, what a creepy story full of so many questions. Really enjoyed listening to it whilst i cooked dinner though, definitley subscribing, Thank you !
I'm surprised that the people who saw Sandra with the bruise said everything seemed in order - except she was barefoot on a hiking trail. There is no way being barefoot on a hiking trail should appear normal. It's such a shame that a few of those who saw her didn't put a quick call into the rangers. Perhaps these are things to learn from - firstly, a quick call to park rangers about slightly strange incidents are not a waste of time, and also, never assume someone who refuses medical assistance is, in fact, okay.
I used to go solo hiking out in the woods all the time in my 20s and it made my mom so nervous. After all the strange missing hiker/camper/hunter cases I’ve seen I would never do it again. It actually gives me chills thinking about how often I used to.
Classic missing 411 case. I love the added folklore because once you do enough research into these topics they become alot more than just "fantastical stories". It's a phenomenon that's as old as recorded history, and gives us clues and real perspectives into what this realm we live in really is.
The sheer number of clues, physical evidence and sightings, if all added up together make for one of the strangest cases I've ever heard of....and I've read every single 411 book, watched every 411video, etc etc. Trying to use ordinary LOGIC or REASON to determine the meaning of various clues and evidence seems to disintegrate in this case. Soooo many odd factors here......great case review......bravo!!!
Awesome as always thanks this story has always intrigued me I hope her loved ones get closure someday ❤
Love listening to your voice😊 Great video and excellent content. Thank you for all your hard work.😊😊❤
Great channel great content thank you for all the hard work
Thank you James 👍
Absolutely loving the new thumbnails!
Hell yes I listen to ur stories all time I luv ur voice awesome stories
These things are so terrifying
so was your grandfathers chest after i shat on it
Faces down with her legs up??
Why do I imagine this to look horrifying.
Can I ask if that's even possible even if your dead can your body move like a barbie I have never seen anybody's legs straight up when there face down 😮can u tell me how that's possible???
I'd also seen on other sites that the hikers who found the campsite, said it was trashed and looked like it had been abandoned for some time, not days.
People running grow areas want one thing more than literally anything else..... for as many ppl as possible to be as far away as possible for those areas. They damn sure don't want a full blown search, led by park rangers and law enforcement officials, including dogs, helicopters, etc.
Yeah the area she was camping is smack in the middle of a pretty busy camping and hiking area just south of yosemite. Her sleeping bag was also found inside yosemite so the idea that growers had an operation in an area like that where campers and hikers could wander into the product is ridiculous.
@@unropednope4644 Agreed....and it's the 2020's. No one's out there trying to cultivate a pot farm in the middle of a national park, and they sure as hell aren't willing to become murderers for being discovered, even if it was a plausible reason
Edit to add: even if they were, no one, and I do mean NO ONE, is spending any amount of money on some garbage weed like that lol. Yea, that whole theory is just absurd
Just wanted to say I really love your channel. Thanks for putting all the hard work in. ❤
Love ur videos!
Thank you!
More than likely she just wanted to disappear and not be found. Some people do do that when things get so bad that they can't handle it.
No one will ever know for sure.
No post disappearance bank activity makes it more than likely this was not a voluntary act. This was a local story & most of the strangest details were not given to local outlets
@khworker1322 and what are those details that weren't released?
On an unrelated note, I just released my own fragrance. No one on the bus seemed to like it
I thought here's a middle aged woman, has 2 marriages behind her, never had kids, sold her home and is wandering about literally in the wilderness. Even though she phoned her family she might've been depressed and wanted to end her life alone, before anyone tried to stop her. Also if she did suffer a head injury that would explain the sightings of her not having shoes on or any sort of provisions. I do hope her soul is at peace.
Your videos are always the best! I didn’t know all of this information about her until your video. Thankyou
Thank you for your hard work Adam! Love from Lisa, Wales UK 😊🙏✌️♥️
Your videos have had a strange effect on me. I have not used drugs or alcohol in 2 months since watching your vids. Something about the creepiness makes me want to always be aware of my surrendings and able to defend myself.
No other version I've seen had anyone finding a sleeping bag in a remote area, it was found with the tent.
I wonder if she went to look for water.
Such a weird one!
Good presentation and research!
Yay! I was hoping you'd do this one!
Nice job
You say “her life hadn’t gone as planned…divorced twice without kids”
I hear “she was finally free to do whatever the f* she wanted”
Remember the squirrel guy who put bodies into living hollow tree trunks by way of holes he cut up high and then sealed them up? This is something that terrifies me. And that fills my mind when i hear cases especially this one when the boy descreibed her legs "above"
I personally do not believe in ghost, but what the little boy said cannot be ignored either.
Is it possible that the car crash happened prior to the campsite being set up, then ransacked ? From what I heard, the area is very remote. So it seems like that her car was only spotted by other hikers subsequent to the first set of hikers discovering her campsite
This story creeped me out since I first heard it on MrBallen
Love MrBallen, great guy & great channel
OK I'm not sure who's sense of direction is off here. Chiquito Creek area is South of Johnson Meadows, not North. It has been awhile (40+ yrs.) but I recall the Mugler Creek area being North of Johnson Meadows. Her actions as reported by people who saw her, might indicate her just checking out the dimension just next to ours. Easy enough to do with Peyote, just a jump to the left and a step to your right presto yer there. Not saying that is the case but, looking at her lifestyle, the area she was in, it is a possibility that shouldn't be dismissed.
The compassion you show in your uploads, is always a breath of fresh air. Thank you.
I suspect many cases like this are explained by a head injury. And I don't think the campsite state necessarily needs an explaination as much as her disappearance does.
She could've also been malnourished or dehydrated, particularly if she'd picked up a stomach bug etc. (perhaps from drinking questionable water).
Edit: There is also the possibility she had a fall (causing the bruise or not) causing head trauma, and that the crash didn't cause much or any damage.
I've also seen stories of people feeling like they are being stalked and seeing figures that aren't actually there, just from the fear of being alone in the woods (hence not wanting to interact with real people, as confusing them with the hallucinations).
She could've also entered a fugue state after a time and her brain defaulted to 'goal is to go north to Yosemite' as that was a clear aim for her.
It's a shame they couldn't get her family out to that area, she may have been distrusting of strangers, but perhaps would've been able to recognise their voices 😢
The Kayden sighting, makes me wonder if he saw a poster (that his family didn't notice) on the way in and got confused or worried about seeing her once out there
❤❤❤ another video!!!! ❤❤❤
Regarding the theory that she stumbled onto a grow operation, I spoke with a helicopter pilot who has previously provided air support for the Forestry Service in California. He has assisted in destroying hundreds of grow operations over the course of several years. Although it wasn't unheard of, more often than not, grow operations they came across did not have armed security guarding the crops. If they did exist, they weren't in the habit of getting into a fire fight with law enforcement or bringing attention to the site in cases where a member of the public stumbled across it.
There were two things that I found especially interesting in our discussion. In cases where they came across 'employees' at a grow site, they were not in the country legally. Why? Because when caught, the only logical recourse is sending them back to their country of citizenship without filing criminal charges. The other thing I found interesting was the volume of of grow operations. The pilot stated that they broke up an average of 300 operations a year in the years he was involved. Remember, these are just the number of grow operations found. I didn't ask, but I wonder what percentage of all operations are discovered and destroyed?
According to the National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics 138,543 million or 50% of people 12 and older have used illicit drugs at least once. I am horrified that kids that young use drugs. At that age I was playing with toys and watching cartoons. I am disgusted by and feel contempt for those that grow drugs or create them in a lab. I think Hughes problem stemmed from a mental health issue, depression.
I'm from Brazil, and the first time I heard about this Sandra Hughes case was on a channel here in Brazil called Sinistro Henridrick Alves, which is about cases of supposed apparitions of spirits. I confess that I was scared by the story of the 3-year-old boy named Kadyn, who told his parents that there was a lady, in a black shirt, blue jeans, with dyed blue hair, upside down with her legs up. I believe in the spiritual world. Small children and animals can see spirits more easily. This story by the boy Kadyn tells how Sandra may have died. She must have crashed the car and become disoriented. She went to the tent and got out, and then fell into a hole and died, with her head down and her legs up, exactly as the boy said. So, most likely her spirit is not at peace, because no one knows where she is, and that's why she appeared to the boy, because he was the only one who understood her as a spirit.
At least you Brazillians have some common sense and open-mindedness when to comes to the paranormal.
For many of those American folks, not so much.
@@akashicrecords9672 Brazil is a very religious country and today we have practically half of the population divided between Catholics and Evangelicals (Protestants). But you're not American? Where are you from?
These are demonic apparitions, not human spirits.
@@forwardsdrawkcab
😂yea ok cool story bro
I'm so confused! I've seen this case on other channels and it was nothing like this, where there was no car involved at all, let alone a car accident, and one had to walk miles through the forest to the remote meadow, you couldn't drive there. Obviously, I trust your version, but I'd appreciate more info about the roads in that area, and if she could have driven to the meadow in a car or if you'd need a 4-wheel drive truck on the tracrough t
It's not clear how close to the meadow her car was parked, I'm not sure anyone knows that. As you say, the area is very remote, but a couple of days later, her silver saab 9-5 was found 6 miles to the north in a ravine after colliding with a tree, then she was spotted with the bruising to her face
It is totally bizarre; 3 ppl in Garibaldi Park, Squamish, BC, Canada, 2024, recently went missing end of May, followed by stormy weather. It happens quite a lot in BC. Cheers
Survivorship bias. Look it up. Good weather makes it easier to find people. The weather thing is not a mystery, it's logical.
Gonna tuck into this now. Night 🌙
Thanks for another great video! Very weird case, I had a mild concussion once and all I wanted to do for a week was sleep, so I can't imagine if she had one that she'd be on the move; it really sounds more like a psychotic break. As for the child, it just sounds like he parents wanted media attention and prepped the boy, showed him the photo, etc.
Don't know about that! Would you "prep your boy" just for attention?
Children have much clearer psychic perception than adults. Probably due to no calcification of their third eye!
@@oneoflokis I say that because it's happened in other cases
@@oneoflokis As sad as it sounds, some people are actually like that.
Brain injuries, depending on the area of the brain, can make u do some crazy stuff. I damaged my left temperal lobe and after being knocked out for a while, got up, and wondered everywhere not knowing anything.
@@eetadakimasu Can you cite them?
This is the most shameful aspect during the covid period thats being ignored its clear that Sandra wasn't in the right frame of mind and just wanted to go off to be in peace from all the craziness that was going on and who knows what happened after did even the most experienced hikers can often run into trouble so something similar may well have happened to Sandra
Great stuff, gents! Maybe cover the wheel covers with a couple of layers of satin clear lacquer?
Camping alone as a woman is a very bad idea.
For anyone.
Camping alone as a human is a very bad idea. We are not solo nomads. We are always at higher risk as a lone individual.
Only most of the time lol.
No fr tho, I had a female acquaintance from AA who went on solo backpacking trips all the time, and the anxiety until I knew she was home was intense haha.
@@deusvult6632 she is safer with the bears anyhow 😉
Love listening to an English narrator. One of my favourite channels
I am her first husband and she appears in many of my dreams since going missing ...she appears like nothing happened and is confused as to all the surprise. Just my brain trying to tell me she's fine when it doesn't want to face the alternative
Wow no way. This story is definitely crazy. Did she ever show signs of mental illness?
No. Not while i knew her. She was a bit of a stoic and introverted but not to the point of what might be considered pathology
here's another scenario senators said of her campsite and while setting it up she had a stroke a bad one and it affected her coordination on trying to do anything else so she tried to get out of there and while driving out she got stuck somewhere for a day Finally she's able to get wherever she was stuck out of the car the wherever she was stuck and continued on driving and then hit the tree stump where she got out and was like injured at that point but she was disoriented and unable to function properly and ask questions all she can do is go yeah I'm okay yeah I'm I'm okay cuz this make any sense the only reason I suggest is because out of stroke a few years back mild one luckily and my coordination was all over the place for the first few days I could not walk right I could not talk right I could not move my left arm or my left leg correctly I could barely stand I had to limp everywhere going it was like my leg was dead no functionality whatsoever luckily I got to the hospital a couple of days later and got checked out and they said yeah you had a small stroke I've been declared fine now by the neurologist and I'm good to go I mean I still have a little tremor on my left side occasionally when I try and move things in a certain way so I try not to move that light but I can see that happening if you're out on a camping trip and you get a stroke you get no way to get help you're screwed if you're only recourses you getting yourself out of there and you have to drive with impairment it's not going to happen well
Thank you, my mum had a stroke on Sunday, left arm and leg, speech the same as you, she's in the acute stroke unit and been told it was a mini stroke (i cant remember proper word). 2 times in the last couple of months the whites of one of her eyes went black, the optician said burst blood vessels and said its fine, when my mum was taken to hospital on Sunday her blood pressure was very high, we think her eye situation was a early warning. As its early days for my mum we are all worried about her future and recovery, so basically, I'm grateful to have read your comment as you point out u have recovered use of your limbs, gives us hope :)
Yup.
Then where is she? A debilitating stroke causing disorientation would keep her from going too far. And dogs, and, well, where is she? Stroke my ass.
so according to you, she had a stroke but somehow managed to drive a car?
@@friendlydark Its very possible, depending on the type of stroke. I had a rare type of stroke called a cerebellar stroke. It happens at the back of the head. I never lost the use of my legs or arms, but i was nauseous, dizzy, and stumbling around like I was very drunk, but still able to speak clearly. I could have attempted to drive a car in that state, but i would have been like a very drunk person behind the wheel, and would likely have crashed the car at some point, or went off a road. I went about my usual day until late the same night, when I really started to deteriorate, and could'nt balance enough to walk. So, yes, it really is possible to still drive with certain types of stroke. Albeit dangerously. The thing is, you don't realise you're having a stroke either,..you just think you're having some kind of 'funny turn' or episode. You really dont comprehend the seriousness of whats happening to you,..hence getting in a car and thinking you're ok to do so.
It seems Sandra was taking stock of her life at a time when being close to anyone but family was impossible. It sounded like she was in shock, though it would have eventually subsided. The car accident would not account for the shock. I think it happened after she made camp. Those who saw her with the car, it was said, asked if she needed help? Besides no or a shake of the head we know nothing more about the encounter. Were the men who saw her standing next to a tree really seeing her? What were they seeing if it was her? This is a case
I have heard about and think about now and then.
please upload your video as podcasts on spotify! ♥
Hi Adam!
I think this case regarding Sandra's disappearance is downright creepy and bizarre, even when I first heard about her going missing the details leading up to her disappearance is just weird. I'm speculating but I think that she had a mental break due to the start of the pandemic. I hope they will be able to find her so her family can have peace of mind.
Timber
Creepy case for sure... The part with the child describing her is especially strange.
The kid probably heard the news and just repeating what she heard
@@_nick_d Possible.
@@_nick_d... I doubt it and think it was a boy.
A three year old can’t take in the news like we can. What’s the first news story you remember and how old? Mine was Dahmer and I remember the cops being shown taking out his fridge. I was 8 and barely remember it.
@@stargatisPerhaps the parents were lying,although he did say police got in touch with them once they seen the story on Facebook but this could have still been a story for attention,not anticipating the police would pick up on it but others surely would(guess only they know) but leave a few breadcrumbs
I don’t think it’s a given the disappearance and the messy campsite are linked. Perhaps she left campsite neat, took the car to hike somewhere more distant, had an accident and a disorienting head injury. The abandoned campsite eventually attracts bears, mountain lions, raccoons and/or other creatures that go through it anticipating human food. It’s possible too the head injury happened before the accident. Maybe she had a stroke or aneurysm and recognizing something is wrong she attempted to drive herself to help. Hence an accident and wandering.
Wheres the howl.. i misses it xx

It doesn't take much to rattle your brain. I got rear-ended while at a stop, not bad enough to deploy airbags or even hit my head, but the whiplash was enough to scramble me cognitively. I took down the license plate and model of car wrong and drove myself home rather than calling anyone because that was my original plan. I also was ready to fight the other driver briefly before I calmed down. Long story short, it doesn't need to be a massive head injury to cause short term cognitive impairment.
The hypothesis that she was experiencing the initial stage of a psychological breakdown during the plandemic comes as no surprise. Her age, failed relationships and that nomadic lifestyle may have contributed to a rather lonely, gloomy outlook for the future and she might have felt more hopeless than any other time in her life. If she did stumble upon criminals with bad intentions it might have tipped her over the edge. Perhaps she saw no way out of the situation as she was being led away, barefoot to her final resting place and instead just accepted her fate. Was she told not to raise alarm during that final journey knowing that it would ultimately lead to others being murdered? RIP Sandy.
Plandemic. I see what you did.
then where is she? answer that, searchers dogs....where is she?
@@____K_____989it’s not a conspiracy theory.
Lovely artwork and good commentary too - despite the Yorkshire(?) accent 🙂
Loving the new manga-style pics...SOOO much better than the library stock rubbish that's used over & over again by other channels - really good 👍 But that wolf-howl at the beginning is missed!!! Great channel 👏
i believe you’re mistaken about where they saw here when they said the chiquita trail head. the chiquita trailhead begins off the “5S04” road where her car was found
Some guy stayed in the forest for a decade, just breaking into cabins for food
Are we sure that was a bruise on her face? I mean, maybe the blemish wasn't made from impact, at all.
Sandra was not able to see anyone, the fae took her to another world.
At some point, I think they will discover her, just as Caden described. There is just no way he made that up, and an fairly innocent child, will just relay what they have perceived, however that came to them, perhaps by intuition.
WOW! This is very spooky and strange! Prayers for her family! Very sad!!! 🕊✝️🙏💜🕊
Its only been two weeks since your last upload but it's felt like forever lol 👍👍
No friends or family came?
They did find her body a few months back!!

Cognitive science student here - While I am not the most knowledgable about the topic (yet) and an opinion of a real expert with expirience in this field would be needed, to me it looks a lot like bias induced paranoia turned into a delusion.
Bias induced paranoia is an example of cognitive heuristic (behavioral mechanisms that cause us to expect specific outcomes of actions because it's evolutionary simpler/safer) which states that when a person comes into a random chance scenario with a bias of it being set up against them, and the first interaction of that scenario ends with a negative outcome, then they will expect all other outcomes to also be negative even if they are in fact random or set up in their favour, for exmaple: if you have a coin tossing game and someone tells you that the coin is weighted during playing, and you lose the next throw, then you automatically assume that the previous tosses were mostly lost no matter if the actual results that you just went through really were, like if the coin turned out to be actually fair or even stacked in your favour you will retroactively assume that this expierience ended with a negative total sum result for you - in other words you had retroactively created a paranoid delusion about something that you expierienced because assuming a loss and cutting the interaction short posesses less risk than actually attempting something that's even might be set up against you.
Like pretty much all cognitive biases they can turn into actual delusions or temporary episodes if the person expieriencing them is under high levels of stress or shock, like how Sandra seems to have been. My personal opinion is that she was set into a mindset of "everyone being a potential danger" because of what was going on in the world at the time, and then something might have happened at the campsite which unfortunately caused her to snap in that specific way at that exact moment, and as such she thought that everyone was out to get her - she then built an entire narrative about the trip and how many "signs" there were that something bad was going to happen, and as such likely feared for her life but because her delusions weren't psychotic or manic in nature she was able to remain collected enough to gather useful stuff, change of clothes and to make a plan of actions ahead. The "walking barefoot" part also seems to me like it reinforces the scenario that she thought she was being followed by someone but being sane enough to actively somewhat rationally react to it - in general tracking someone who is barefoot is extremely hard, bootprints are much more noticible than footprints and she might've thought that taking off her shoes would make her harder to track.
Hitting the tree slow enough that the airbag didn't deploy could mean it was deliberate. She would've had to have not been wearing her seatbelt to suffer significant injury at that speed, though the slide down the hill could've injured her. The crash could've been staged.
As for the campsite, maybe she was attacked or chased off by people, who then ransacked the camp looking for valuables. It's possible they caused her injuries, and may have taken her keys, then staged the car crash to misdirect investigators. As an afterthought, they ransacked it too. Meanwhile, she was stuck out there with no gear (or shoes), because she hadn't planned to leave camp.
I wouldn't be surprised if wilderness areas were more populated than usual during the pandemic. There would've been plenty of people thinking it was a good time to get away from civilization. Not all of them would've been competent and not all of them would've been friendly.
Theoretical grow op sounds as likely as a bigfoot dragging her off in her sleepingbag and all the sightings were her ghost. Im not just kidding.
im tossing ideas around in my head and each time it ends with "but then how did the campsite get so messy?" its the thing thats so weird to me BOTH the car and the campsite were messy so maybe she wanted to just dissapear to go off grid so she made both the car and tent messy to make a fake scene and go off grid? cant be she had NOTHING no shoes was beaten a little and was supposedly found in between yosemite and her start so maybe she just had nothing but pure determination and kept walking to yosemite? i have NO clue i try to rationalise it but theres always some error with it
what a strange woman, very sad nonetheless
Some people drive barefoot. Maybe she just got out of the car and didn’t put her shoes back on
God bless 🙏 you all
Children are open and honest
I think it is possible that the hunters who saw her standing by the tree actually saw her spirit- as in she had already passed away.
I agree but not her spirit. Ghosts are evil spirits who pose as the departed.
She looks amazing at 54!!
I think perhaps she got lost while doing extreme social distancing so when she ran into people perhaps it freaked her out. I could picture her avoiding people and not wanting to get Covid at the time. Everyone was scared at the time! 😮
I think the Covid factor is certainly relevant
But many of these cases involve people who become disoriented and have removed their shoes. There’s also missing time, she’s wandering around in a time loop and unable to get her bearings. Cheers
I think it's better to just look at the clear facts, and fair assumptions. Sandra left Hawaii for California after the pandemic started, to change her surroundings. once she arrived and settled in, she chose to go on a hike to get away. she was clearly looking for change. she successfully camped at another site, then drove to the meadow. she set up her tent, unpacked her belongings from her car and placed them until the tent, and was in the meadow. at some point, she begins going through all of her belongings, and removing most of her belongings from the tent, dumping the contents of her bags on the ground, and inspecting, then discarding, the majority of her items in general. she discards nearly of them, except her sleeping bag and potentially a couple of other critical supplies, and gets back in her car.
she drives to the next site, where she slowly drives her car over a stump, and into a shallow ravine, causing minor injuries, as if to force the car into a stuck position that she could not return to for escape, and from which no one else could simply drive the car away, and again throws all unimportant belongings out of the car, as if purposefully choosing to individually go through every item, reject it as meaningful, and disavow and discard it. "what is truly useful? what is meaningful and essential? what do I actually need to reach my goal?". she then discards her shoes, to walk with her feet touching the earth, carrying her sleeping bag and a couple essential items. she is spotted by hikers, barefoot and bruised, where she insists that she is fine, and does not want medical attention. she then moves straight north, toward yosemite national park. she sleeps in her sleeping bag at night, but at some point, chooses to also discard her sleeping bag, leaving even that behind. meaningless items, unnecessary to become one with nature and return to a meaningful state, and not needed anymore to reach her goal.
at some point, that desire to become closer to nature, and further away from human problems, may have led her to accept death in the wilderness, I assume, getting as close to yosemite as possible, since that seemed to be her goal. I would wager that she wanted to at least make it to yosemite before passing. she may have changed clothes at some point, since she was known to have been carrying at least a sleeping bag up to the point that she discarded even that belonging. she could not have survived for more than a couple weeks, I would assume. the person spotted in overalls was either a case of mistaken identity, or another apparition. I'm led to believe it was an apparition, due to the fact that she had no facial expression, did not acknowledge the presence of other people, stared straight ahead, and did not respond. this is extremely common amongst apparitions. her spirit is then seen again by 3 year old kayden wearing the clothes she was last known to be wearing, in a position that leads me to believe that she may have fallen face first off of a small embankment, with her face down, or with her face turned downward to the side facing the ground, and legs slightly bent upward against the incline. her body may be laying on an incline somewhere. those are the basic facts, in my estimation. it seems to me that she developed an obsession with material items, nature, and yosemite national park. she did not want help, and seemed to choose this path, which led to the end of her life. she was so interested in nature that she chose to study it in college. her obsession with living wild in nature may have led to her death. the child said she needed help, which is very sad. I'll pray for the respite of her soul tonight, and I hope you'll do the same for her. may God put her to rest.
The conclusion I came up with is that people were just saying they seen her for clout…. Those hunters there’s no way they just see her not responding and don’t say nothing… I mean and the kid did they use ground penetrating radar because she could’ve been buried face down when the kids seen her
Adam I have seen Sandra's story on several websites.
The only worrying thing about 2020 is how mental everyone acted.
This disappearance was close to where i live. She clearly didn’t want to be found. Most people don’t understand how easy it is to die out here. By end of June it’s already extremely hot usually. 2020 was no exception. It was a miserable summer. (People actually expected laborers to wear masks in the heat, so mental, and why I remember because I left my job as I refused to wear a mask in 111 degrees)
The terrain is rugged, dry, and dangerous. The only bears in the region are black bears which while they can be dangerous, they usually are not but they do rifle through belongings to get food.
Mountain lions are the only real predator for human adults in the area. Though coyote packs can do damage again it’s rare. Rattlesnakes are also dangerous if you don’t have a way to get medical attention.
The sad fact is that sometimes people voluntarily disappear for their own reasons.
But more than anything people don’t realize how rugged and rough the area can be. They are used to temperate forests etc and they are “fit” for hiking in temperate climates. They have no idea the environment they are getting themselves into. They don’t bring enough water, they don’t protect themselves from the sun, they get themselves in a bad situation and they walk DOWN a ravine etc to water and they don’t realize the creek is probably dry and that the temp can change 10+ degrees when you descend to dry water sources.
The witnesses are the element that makes it weird/strange.
The most likely scenario is probably pretty explainable
Well said, people go to wilderness to check out a lot more than it’s reported. Misadventure is another big problem, central cal heat is no freakin joke. I think bout that family that perished on that hike in Mariposa in middle of summer.
Its not the same without the wolf howl. Its like changing the way the cereal box looks it just dont taste the same even though its just a box lol
Head injury definitely is a possibility imo. And some people did lose their minds in the days of the pandemic so it’s all plausible .
This case makes me crazy!!
I think Sandra was killed and whoever did it messed up her campsight, stole her car and possibly her sleeping bag.
Everytime I hear this case I think she is desperate for someone to catch her killer, thats why she is seen by so many people. I don't think Sandra was alive in any of the sightings.
I find it sad that her soul is wandering around the forest trying to get someone's attention to catch her killer.
Years ago marijuana growers could be suspected but not so much now because its legal to grow, so its not as big of a deal.
She very clearly had some kind of mental break event in the woods.
either a stroke or foul play, beginning of covid maybe it’s serial killer, i feel like a national forest is like a serial killers playground just waiting for young woman to come alone into the wilderness…..
This is why putting missing flyers up quickly is so important.
Yeah, Sandra's case is a good example of that. Spotted a few times by the looks of it and nobody realized she was missing
So the hunters are just making it up..?? Why the f would they do that!?
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏼👏🏻❤️🌈
Ummm... What happened to the howl at the beginning?
The intro doesn't have any character, that was your trademark, your brand.
Bad move.
