David Paulides (wiki) is a former police officer, investigator, and author of a book series, Missing 411. These books chronicle missing persons cases from all over North America. This movie is a documentary focusing on a few of those missing person cases.

I found out about this documentary through another Youtube channel that has a primary focus on dark, disturbing occurrences that often feature missing persons. I did attempt to track down some of the Missing 411 books, but have yet to find any (I have a book review blog, if I do manage to find one, I will post there.).

Some of the missing persons are found alive, some are found dead, and some are not found at all. The weird part is how they went missing in the first place, and then where the person was found (if they were found at all).

Some persons are found several miles away from where they went missing, in a time period that does not allow for that amount of travel. Think of a toddler traveling several miles on their own within an hour or so. There’s little explanation.

The documentary features interviews with friends and family and the rescue workers and investigators that were involved in the disappearances with footage of the area where the person went missing. It’s a fascinating look at what can happen in the wilds of North America.
