Where the Unthinkable Begins : 13 True Stories of Disappearances, Murder, Deadly Accidents, and Extraordinary Survival - Volume Two
Overview
Thirteen true stories. Lives interrupted without warning. Some people found their way back. Others left questions that have never been answered.
A family trapped on a snow-covered logging road. Five bodies in a house where music is still playing. A hunter attacked by a grizzly in the Canadian wilderness. Two young people last seen stepping from a water taxi onto a yacht.
In Volume Two of WHERE THE UNTHINKABLE BEGINS, Sebastian Karcz brings together thirteen carefully researched accounts of disappearance, murder, deadly accidents, and extraordinary survival. Each begins with a documented event. What follows is a search for answers through the evidence, including the places where certainty runs out.
Inside these thirteen stories:
James and Kati Kim: Stranded with daughters Penelope and Sabine on a snowbound Oregon road, the couple waits for rescue. James sets out on foot to find help.
John List and the List family: His wife Helen, mother Alma, and children Patricia, John, and Frederick are found murdered in New Jersey. He lives under a new name for nearly eighteen years.
Jeremy Evans: A hunter encounters a grizzly cub in remote Alberta, then is mauled by its mother. Gravely injured and alone, he must find his way back to help.
Sherrill Levitt, Suzanne Streeter, and Stacy McCall: Three women vanish from a Missouri home after a graduation celebration, leaving their cars and belongings behind.
Estefanía Peña Febles, Ginés Ramírez Alemán, Juan Luis Medina Trujillo, Eduardo Delgado Donate, Javier de Souza Sánchez, and Maurizio Panniello: A hiking group enters an unmarked water gallery on Tenerife. Six never emerge alive.
Russell Bohling: An eighteen-year-old vanishes, and his car is found the following day at Bempton Cliffs, leaving unanswered questions about his final known movements.
Olivia Hope and Ben Smart: After a New Year's Eve celebration in New Zealand, they step from a water taxi onto a yacht and vanish. A murder conviction follows amid disputed evidence.
Nick Hall: A Mount Rainier climbing ranger falls during a helicopter-assisted rescue of four stranded climbers.
Joshua Maddux: Seven years after an eighteen-year-old disappears in Colorado, his remains are found inside the chimney of an abandoned cabin.
Yuri Lipski: A diver's camera records his final descent at Egypt's Blue Hole, but the footage cannot establish everything that went wrong.
Roopkund Lake: In 1942, forest officer H. K. Madhwal discovers human remains at a remote Himalayan lake. The discovery prompts decades of speculation and startling scientific research.
Ronald S. Sanchez Jr.: A night on the Appalachian Trail turns deadly when an armed attacker targets a group of hikers.
Keith Reinhard and Tom Young: Two men linked to the same Colorado storefront disappear in successive years. One is found dead. The other is never found.
Drawing on official investigations, court records, firsthand accounts, scientific research, and contemporary reporting, Karcz follows what can be established without turning uncertainty into invented explanations. These are stories of people first, and mysteries only because of what happened to them.
The second volume in the WHERE THE UNTHINKABLE BEGINS series. Each volume stands on its own.
Some paths led home. Others ended where the evidence stopped. None of the lives behind them should be forgotten.
