In 2005, FBI homicide detectives did in fact investigate the mysterious disappearance of 24 people that had taken place in Nome between the 1960s and 2004, which caused locals to initially think there was a serial killer involved.
According to the Anchorage Daily News, most of the victims were native men who had traveled to Nome from surrounding villages. The FBI determined there was no real reason to suspect a serial killer and instead came up with the explanation that, “Excessive alcohol consumption and a harsh winter climate,” were to blame for the disappearances.
I have posted this before but this is one of my favorite documentaries on Sasquatch

Oh, yeah, I’ve seen this before. I wish this were 1080 instead of 240.

Wes one of my favorites especially the trees wedged upside down, very disturbing and cool.

That was done with a shovel when they built the logging road in to log the land. Ive done it myself. Also used logging equip to throw stumps on top of boulders to make people go awe?? The bark is now rotted off and it appears as if no machinery touched it. Its not magic or a squatch.. its us loggers playing in our office.

Loved this show having seen it already. Also agree that the upside down trees were equipment done. As strong as a forest giant is they are not going to pound 1 ton plus trees into the ground.
Also on Friday now there is a show called Missing Alaska. They claim there are 60k missing people associated with Alaska and a team looks for causes. This week the show was about what they call the Hairy Man, the some claim as tall at 14 feet. Ken Gerhardt is one of the stars.

This was a fantastic show. All of the cases addressed here were solid events. I lived in the Anchorage, Wasilla and Palmer areas for 3 years. I wasn’t into the Sasquatch subject yet but when I would look out at the surrounding landscape, I thought that something like Sasquatch could definitely exist in the wild without having been detected by Science yet.
There’s still about 49 % of unoccupied land in the United States alone and when a vast majority of the population spend 99 % of their lives in developed and sometimes densely populated urban areas, then the majority of our population hardly ever sees what’s going on in the wilderness. Pretty simple concept. That’s why I don’t understand most people’s dismissal and presumptuous arrogance with this subject.

First thing, the documentary is incorrect stating that Alaska was 90,000 square miles of wilderness, when it is actually 663,000 square miles. Right out of the blocks I’m thinking “sloppy research”.
I lived in Nome from 1978 – 1985 and never heard the least rumor of a “series” of missing people. Admittedly, there were dissappearances on occasion – and one in the Council area was very, very odd and disturbing.
Also – why is anyone posting videos at such a poor resolution?
