I think that was a different little boy that went missing in that same area.

Nope. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Its like the case of the man Minneapolis area that was posted on the blog who went missing and his wife received a disturbing message. When his body turned up in a lake much later the case was closed. The official word was that they found nothig odd about the dissapearence. WHAT? Dont remember if the follow up was posted but check it out.
Thank God the Casey Hathaway in NC ended with him safe. I probably along wth everyone else who follows this subject would like to ask a million questions about the bear who saved him. But honestly its probably better he forgets its at that age.

If I’m not mistaken, didn’t the man on Friday night’s episode claim something drug him in his sleeping bag towards the lake about 100 ft?
Super scary.

Maynard do you know when the Mpls. Story was posted? I am from Minnesota. Thank you

Type in McCabe on the blog search. I’ll have to find where the story about the case being closed was reported. That was somewhere else. Sorry. Its been awhile. If I find it I’ll post it.

Hey Fran, I’m from Minneapolis. The man is question is Henry McCabe from Mounds View. He was last seen at an SA on 73rd and Hwy 65 early Sept. 2015, Labor Day weekend, I think. He was found dead in Rush Lake in New Brighton in Nov. 2015. He called his wife and left a bizarre voicemail around the time he disappeared.

The Martin family was unjustly excluded from any & all info of their son’s disappearance by all 3 of the so-called search & rescue parties involved. Disgusting shame!

The man from Minneapolis’s name is Henry McCabe.

Hello everyone my name is Dan. I’ve been a member of Sasquatch Chronicles since almost the very beginning of Wes’s show. It’s very rare that I comment but fell very compelled when it comes to this case.
Just a small sentence or two about me, I’ve been a Bigfoot investigator for a number of years similar in the style of Paul Graves. I haven’t really gone public too much with what I found here in North Georgia other than being a guest on a few other different podcasts. So now the question is why am I leaving a comment on this particular topic? I have researched this case very deeply. It changed me when I first discovered it in one of Paulides early interviews in 2014.
This case frightens me to the core & eventually led me to the missing 411 series. Because of that I definitely changed how approach investigating Bigfoot, backpack, hike, camp and anything else related to being in the woods.
Gymlan’s outline of this case is very accurate. Again this case is so horrific in so many ways as the video speaks of I’m not sure how much more my opinion I could add.
Just a couple things that I’d like to share. First Mr. Martin passed away I believe it was last year or 2017. My first belief is that Mr. Martin and his son are now reunited in a better place. Second, my own personal opinion is I do believe it was a Sasquatch. Paulides actually stated in an interview that a park service ranger had gone ‘off the record’ with him sort of “off to the side” and had information regarding these creatures being “untrackable, unpredictable and there was nothing the PS could do to control these so called ‘creatures”.
The last thing I wanted to say is a question. Has there been any verbal face-to-face follow up with the actual Key family? In the video Gymlan only describes a follow up with the person who wrote the article describing what the Key family saw. Paulides has never mentioned any direct follow up with the Key family either.
That’s all I have. Good luck and be safe in the woods, as will I do also.

Good input thank you, i’m right down the road from UGA myself ☺

Thanks Mike!! Nice to see a fellow GA guy. One last note as Gymlan had stated — why green berets for a missing child case???? I was under the impression special forces couldn’t be used on the homeland.

I’m north of you Dan. I grew up in the East Tennessee mountains and Cherokee National Forest and also mountains of WNC. Most of my family still live in this old chain of mountains. The most frightening encounter to me that I either read or heard was in North Georgia where a couple of guys went hiking. I believe one may have talked the skeptical friend into going very deep into the Chattahoochee wilderness area. They had lots of activity and one fella specifically got pictures at a waterfall. Later while studying them he found up to a dozen sasquatch (I believe) behind boulders, trees, well camouflaged, curious and watching the two backpackers. Many were female with little ones. It was like a group of sasquatch were intruded upon. As I recall, he knew there were some there, just not that many evidently. I think the thing that was so frightening to me was that there were so many in one spot and that a waterfall covers noise of both the backpackers and the sasquatch. As a child I remember hearing tree knocks and footsteps outside some fairly remote camping areas my family loved to go. Seems like there’a a huge concentration of these things here in the Great Smokies and Southern App chain, and also especially in North Georgia. Stay safe!
