re: Anyone ever read the “Missing 411” books?

I’ve read one and also have seen some video presentations and interviews with David Paulides. The Wikipedia link is below.

It’s fairly accurate but is unnecessarily dismissive referring to the Missing 411 phenomenon as a conspiracy theory and citing data analysis “experts” and presentations made at conferences that are devoted to skepticism of various and sundry things.

If Art Bell were still with us Missing 411 and Paulides would be regulars. Coast to Coast frequently has him on.

I don’t know if he’s not on to something. The “disappearances” are often odd. Children, barely toddlers, disappear and are found places they could not physically walk to. Many miles away, in rough inaccessible country, across multiple ridges and valleys and many thousands of feet higher than where they disappeared from.

They’re not all children and they’re not all In National Parks or in wilderness areas.

Many are highly unusual IMO.
