Exploring Missing Persons Cases and Cryptozoology in the Pacific Northwest

A new video posted on the YouTube channel PNW Bigfoot Search has caught the attention of the Bigfoot community. The video, titled "The Grangeville, Idaho cluster and the David Schultz (Iowa 2023) Incident," discusses two mysterious cases that have left investigators scratching their heads. Tanner Hoskins, director of the Pacific Northwest Missing Persons Project and co-founder of Pacific Northwest Bigfoot Search, shares his team's experience searching for Dawn Parkins in the Malala River Recreation Area near Table Rock Wilderness in Idaho. Unfortunately, despite their efforts, they were unable to find any definitive clues as to what happened to Dawn. However, Hoskins notes that the search was still successful in clearing terrain that Dawn could have easily traversed. The video then moves on to discuss the strange case of David Schultz, a 53-year-old truck driver who went missing in Iowa in 2023. Schultz's truck was found at a rural intersection north of Sack City, but his body was not discovered until over a hundred thousand acres had been searched. The cause of death was ruled as exposure, but many are left wondering how a seasoned truck driver could have ended up in such a situation. Hoskins also touches on the topic of UFOs and UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) in relation to the Schultz case. A witness reported seeing a strange lighted object flying in the area around the time of Schultz's disappearance, adding to the mystery. Hoskins notes that there have been countless reports of UFOs and UAPs in rural and remote areas, leaving many to wonder if there is something more at play. Finally, Hoskins shares stories from his adoptive mother about the strange happenings in the Panhandle area of Idaho where she was born and raised. Loggers in the area have reported seeing upright creatures covered in hair and what they refer to as "hide behinds," creatures that sneak up on you while you're not looking. I find these cases fascinating and hope that more light will be shed on them in the future. I encourage our readers to watch the video and share their own thoughts and theories on these mysterious incidents.
