    Hey everyone, I just want to get ahead of the inevitable questions I'll get regarding this video. I'm not changing anything about the general format this channel has traditionally done. I just decided that this was the most effective/efficient way to go through the content of the FBI's Martin files. I may also do some future videos this way when it comes to discussing topics related to missing people. I'm always happy to hear your feedback. Thanks for supporting the channel! TME

    The FBI and some people probably found/find it ridiculous that his dad was suspicious because of small details, but imagine your child is missing, under crazy circumstances, and you feel people aren’t taking it as seriously as they should. You would go insane. I would probably end up in jail if my daughter went missing because I’d be kicking in doors if I felt the police were slacking. There’s no way I could sit around and wait for paperwork and have to deal with “oh we can’t investigate this guy because of this technicality” or some shit.

      You are right, and your reaction is totally understandable. But you must remember one thing, imagine you are suspected of doing something, but you are innocent. Would you not be glad when people go the proper law channels to try to prove your involved instead of kicking down your door and kicking your butt? Is the law not there to avoid such things? But man i get your point, if it’s my child i would be considering the same. But that does not mean it’s the best way.

    I’m a retired FBI Special Agent. I retired in 2018. I, like many, have a great deal of criticism of the FBI’s management in light of recent events. That said, the Special Agent force of the FBI are highly competent and thorough. I think the released report confirms that. In addition, laws passed in the 1990s forward have facilitated not only the FBI but all law enforcement to have better communication with victims and families. This victim’s rights legislation was not in place prior to the early and mid 90s. The need for victim’s rights was clearly demonstrated in this case.

There certainly *are areas* within the park where you instinctually understand not let down your guard.. it’s somewhat difficult to explain, but it’s much like a creeping feeling of being watched, or more correctly, it’s a feeling of dread.. places where we never spent much time, let alone camping/sleeping.

      Sometimes it’s a lot more obvious in hindsight and having all the information together as opposed to pieces of it, if the FBI knew something there’s a reason they didn’t tell the family. Whether that’s bc they couldn’t prove it, who knows but I can’t imagine them saying they know but don’t have any hard evidence bc that would make the parent feel terrible and I can’t imagine them telling the parent that as well as the name of the suspect they’re unable to prove did it bc that might be extremely problematic. It’s just a bad situation and it sucks bc they obviously couldn’t investigate if there wasn’t evidence of a crime even tho the kid went missing and that to you and me should be enough to investigate. I think they did the right thing chasing the lead from the convict, I think they should’ve asked the possible suspect if he would take a polygraph, maybe they did or didn’t, but either way they were obviously stuck and could only do so much. That’s what needs to change, and I’m sure many agents would welcome that.

It is also likely anything they would say to him would have been leaked to the press potentially contaminating an investigation. The father couldnt accept the most obvious explanation and wanted it to be something it wasnt, the fbi behaved perfectly correctly in this case.

    I've followed this case in earnest since I first learned of its existence from an early David Paulides video. I have also viewed many similar cases of strange disappearances. It is about time the FBI files were released, as their secrecy has only fueled some of the more bizarre theories. I know of several cases of children with autism who have gone missing in a similar way and the one thing that stands out above all, is that Dennis Martin likely had autism. Furthermore, children with autism will invariably hide when lost and NOT respond to searchers. They will intentionally avoid being located as a single-minded pursuit and this makes detection almost impossible, even under the best of circumstances. I'm now satisfied that Dennis got lost, hid from search parties and died as a result of exposure. This area is vast and full of sinkholes, chasms and areas that are not accessible without evidence of the subject being in any of those places. Great work on this video.

As such, we always keep a very close eye on her.

    So nice to see someone who covers these cases and doesn't ignore the 'conspiracy theories', while also looking at actual evidence and going through, almost point-by-point, to show how the actual evidence doesn't line up with what the 'story' has morphed into. Also, nice to see someone pointing out that there are very legitimate reasons for the FBI to be involved (FEDERAL LAND) and that the NPS is not an investigative service. Also, not at all unusual for the Army to get involved and aid in a search, especially if they're already involved in training in the area.

    I appreciate that you don’t buy into crazy theories or perpetuate them for views. I feel the same way you do about the wild speculation that these cases generate.
    I grew up near the Pine Barrens and spent a lot of time in them when I was growing up. There are people who live deep in the Pines known locally as “Pineys”. They’re not “feral people” nor are they cannibals. They’re just people who prefer to live off the grid in nature. They don’t bother anyone and no one bothers them. There are people living off the grid in wilderness areas all over the country. It doesn’t mean they’re evil bloodthirsty cannibals snatching innocent children.
    I’m curious about your take on the Missing 411 cases that contained details which were embellished or completely fabricated by DP. Several missing 411 cases have been officially debunked when people found evidence ignored or overlooked bf DP (although some question the latter because he gets very hostile with anyone who brings up these major discrepancies and refuses to acknowledge them). Someone (or a few people) compiled a list of the questionable or debunked Missing 411 cases complete with links to evidence from newspaper articles, law enforcement, search and rescue, local residents, park rangers, and family members of the “missing”. In at least one case the missing person had been found alive yet DP intentionally left put the outcome of the case.
    I used to have the page with the full list and supporting evidence bookmarked but unfortunately lost it when my phone broke. I’m going to search for it because the findings were very compelling. It proved, at the very least, that DP fabricates details or doesn’t include important info in order to make events appear more mysterious and strange than they actually were. I had always assumed that DP was telling the truth in regards to the cases he chooses to cover. I was wrong.
    I figured that you would want to see this stuff for yourself. Your channel is one of the few that questions inconsistencies and baseless claims. So many people just give in to clickbait tactics and misinformation because it sounds more interesting than “Someone went missing on a hike and was later found alive not far from their last known location.” I really enjoy your channel- it’s one of the few that covers these topics with integrity and rational discussion.

    There's a house not to far from me with a posted sign of their missing son listing the days they've been missing... It's well over 10 years! It's got to be heartbreaking to go on just wondering what happened...
