Missing 411 (2016)

Missing 411: Directed by Michael DeGrazier, Benjamin Paulides. With Jaryd Atadero, DeOrr Kunz Jr., Nate Eaton, Frank Vilt. A documentary that chronicles the similar disappearances of five children in the wilds of North America, across multiple decades.

“These films are at the out set quite intriguing simply by the seemingly very large numbers of persons disappeared in wilderness areas. However the cherry picking of cases and often just not stating the most probable causes of disappearances panders to uncritical minds. For example the man who was said to shed his pants folded as if he melted. But, that disregards hypothermal and dehydration do cause people to become delirious and shed clothing in frigid conditions. Numerous cases from Artic deaths show this. There also was a man who as a child managed to walk 20 plus miles and was lucky to find help. He said he experienced nothing supernatural. So we know small children can do things we might not expect. That would include walking away from adults. But frankly these cases do not explore the mundane or criminal sides of the vanishings. But, its worth while to speculate, but I am sure by now this has made its promoters very wealthy.”
