In this haunting episode of the Pacific Northwest Missing Persons Project Podcast, we venture beyond borders into Canada’s vast, untamed wilderness—where stories vanish into the fog, survive against impossible odds, or dissolve in waves.
🔹 Mélanie Ethier – A 15-year-old vanishes after a short walk home in New Liskeard, Ontario. Despite decades of investigation, no trace has ever been found.
🔹 Sam Benastick – An experienced hiker disappears in remote British Columbia… and reemerges over 50 days later in a survival story few believed possible.
🔹 Grant Hadwin – A controversial environmental protester fells the legendary Golden Spruce, then disappears in Hecate Strait under mysterious and debated circumstances.
Blending immersive sound design with documentary-style narration, this episode captures the raw beauty—and unforgiving nature—of Canada’s wilderness, where the line between myth and memory grows thin.
🎧 Listen closely. The silence speaks volumes.
Call to Action:
If you have any information about Mélanie Ethier’s disappearance, please contact the Ontario Provincial Police. And before your next trip outdoors, familiarize yourself with missing persons cases in the area. You might unknowingly hold a piece of someone’s story.
