  • Tide, Fog, and a Sealed Camera Bag: How Shannon Vanished

    Tide, Fog, and a Sealed Camera Bag: How Shannon Vanished
    22 Oct 2026
    Tide, Fog, and a Sealed Camera Bag: How Shannon Vanished

    A dry camera bag stood upright in four inches of cold water on a tidal plain, perfectly sealed, with no footprints and no sign of the woman whose license was inside-so how did Shannon simply disappear into the marsh? Photographers fear fog and tides; here a seventeen-minute chart discrepancy, collapsing visibility, and incoming water combined into a living trap-what exactly happened on that flat in those minutes before dawn?

    In this episode, we trace the timeline of Shannon Evans’s last known morning on Harrow Flats, the items found in the bag, and the environmental and navigational facts that made a familiar route deadly. What did the laminated tide chart, the fog, and the geography of Pelican Sound do to a careful, experienced photographer?

    Person: Shannon Evans
    Location: Harrow Flats, near Fenwick Road, Merritt Landing
    Date: Tuesday morning (before dawn), June (year not specified in transcript)
    Item found: Dry camera bag containing three Nikon bodies, eleven lenses, laminated tide chart, and Washington State driver's license
    Condition: Bag standing upright in four inches of water, strap coiled neatly, perfectly sealed

    - The bag contained three Nikon camera bodies and eleven lenses wrapped in microfiber cloth.
    - Judith Cole discovered the upright bag at 6:42 AM on a tidal mudflat north of Fenwick Road.
    - The laminated tide chart Shannon carried referenced Cutter Bay (northern station) while Harrow Flats is governed by a southern reference point 17 minutes different.
    - Shannon had slept in her green Subaru in the Fenwick Road parking lot and left at 3:50 AM with a headlamp.
    - The tide chart indicated low tide at 3:48 AM and significant tidal return at 7:15 AM according to the northern reference station.

  • She Broke Her Leg, Cut Her Laces, and Walked Eleven Miles Alive

    She Broke Her Leg, Cut Her Laces, and Walked Eleven Miles Alive
    21 Oct 2026
    She Broke Her Leg, Cut Her Laces, and Walked Eleven Miles Alive

    Fear tightens when survival becomes a numbers problem: a broken ankle, eleven miles from the nearest trailhead, and a single orange women's size seven boot with its laces cleanly cut - the first hard evidence found after seven days of searching. How did a civil hydrologist trained to read terrain turn one snap decision after a “wet click” into a route that kept her alive?

    In this episode, we follow the timeline and movements recorded by Donna Graham and those who searched for her, from her summit notes to the moment a surveyor photographed a lone boot. We trace why Donna chose the unnamed western drainage over her permit route and ask what that choice revealed about survival in technical terrain.

    Person: Donna Graham
    Age: 32
    Occupation: civil hydrologist for the Briar Falls water authority
    Date of summit: May 7, time noted at 1:47 p.m.
    Find: left orange mountaineering boot, women's size seven, found May 14 at 8:43 a.m.

    - Donna filed a wilderness permit for Cutter Peak on May 5 and planned to summit May 7.
    - At 1:47 p.m. on May 7 she recorded summit elevation, time, and wind speed in her field notebook.
    - Around 3:15 p.m. on May 7 she heard a “wet click” and suffered a broken right ankle on the Southeast Ridge.
    - By the afternoon of May 8 she had moved approximately eight miles into the unnamed western drainage.
    - Ralph Marshall found and photographed the upright boot with laces cut near the top two eyelets at 8:43 a.m. on May 14.

  • The Paddle on a Stake: How a Silent Signal Saved a Lost Canoeist

    The Paddle on a Stake: How a Silent Signal Saved a Lost Canoeist
    20 Oct 2026
    The Paddle on a Stake: How a Silent Signal Saved a Lost Canoeist

    A buried paddle on a surveyor's stake, wrist strap tied with a trucker's hitch, faced the gravel track-an intentional, improvised signal that led rescuers to a missing man. County records showed no stake there; the paddle was the only clear sign that someone had been in the drainage and might still be alive-how long had it been there, and who had built it?

    In this episode, we follow the timeline from the morning tenet when Neil Kowalski spotted the stake to the emergency response set in motion by a missed check-in text, covering Roy Hicks’s paddling routine, his float plan system, and the choices after his canoe capsized-did those last deliberate preparations make the difference?

    Person: Roy Hicks
    Date: April 18 (capsize) and April 22 (stake found)
    Location: Teller drainage, Cassidy Braid; put-in at Wendell Road bridge; planned take-out Pruitt access track
    Person: Neil Kowalski
    Person: Connie Beals

    - At 8:14 AM on April 22 Neil Kowalski found a surveyor's stake with an orange-and-white canoe paddle lashed to it.
    - The paddle wrist strap was looped twice and secured with a trucker's hitch knot; it faced the access track above deliberately.
    - Roy Hicks, 52, had filed a float plan with Connie Beals and used the check-in code "clean" to notify Steve Lund by 8:00 PM on his scheduled take-out day.
    - Roy entered the Cassidy Braid around 2:30 PM on April 18; less than a quarter-mile in, his canoe hit a submerged ledge, capsized, and he was submerged for under 90 seconds.
    - After the capsize Roy retained a personal flotation device, his paddle with wrist strap, a soaked lighter in his chest pocket, a multi-tool on his belt, and half a granola bar; his dry bag, sleeping bag, stove, headlamp, food bag, and waterproof map case were lost.
