When a pilot murders his wife, his secret lover and her daughter and then vanishes into the Wyoming wilderness, leaving his getaway car behind, a massive tri-state manhunt ensues for the family annihilator. Eight years later, there’s still no sign of Mike Bullinger and questions remain: did he use his survivalist and flight skills to launch a new life or did he meet his end in the forest? And why did he kill the three people he loved the most?

  • If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, help is available through the National Domestic Violence Hotline.
  • Michael "Mike" Bullinger is still wanted and considered armed and at large until his body is found. Information about Bullinger’s whereabouts or any sightings of him should be called into the Canyon County Sheriff’s Office in Idaho at 208-454-7510.
  • If anyone hiking near Pacific Creek in Moran, Wyoming, comes across a gun, bones, or clothes that you believe might be relevant to this case, please contact the Teton County Sheriff’s Office at 307-733-2331.
