This is why you should never assume anything and enquire about someone's whereabouts because by the time you realise something is wrong it may already be too late by that point
Even experienced hikers can get into trouble and being physically fit like Jason doesn't stop you from falling and getting injured something like that could certainly have happened to Jason which prevented him returning to his car
It's amazing how many times you hear "they were a very experienced hiker..." I imagine it may draw them to places that are a little more dangerous, but the common thing is that they all had something bad happen outdoors. Doesn't matter how much you know, the unexpected can happen to anyone.
Cpl. Whitacre's sister needs to get her congressional representatives involved...they might be able to put pressure on the FBI. The only reason they keep her brother listed as a deserter is that it gives the Federal authorities, FBI, etc. the power to stay involved in the investigation. It is not a reflection on him. I worked in special weapons also...the rules for us were different to say the least.
Never heard of Jason’s case and he’s just a few years older than me. I’ve lived in SC all my life and have been to Table Rock many times. Thank you for bringing this to my attention so I can research it more and my friends and I whom still go to Table Rock can discuss it. We try to be Web sleuths 🤭
Those natives around there need to start their own investigation unit and solve these crimes themselves... sad but at this point the rcmp is clearly never gonna do it for them...
Thank you I’m a fan of Heavy Case files for many years. I enjoy the low tone music and calm demeanour of the narrator’s voice. May you continue to be successful ❤
Pamela’s case upsets me so much but it also doesn’t surprise me. Indigenous people have not been given the same treatment by law enforcement for as long as there has been law enforcement.
Pamela splits up with her spouse. Pamela goes missing without her children. Children are at the fathers. There is an 80% chance her EX knows more, I'd say.
Yeah, why IS that? Canada projects itself as being so welcoming and 'diverse', and I'm sure there are laws and committees and proclamations from Ottawa and provincial capitals "protecting" the indigenous peoples, but right down on-the-ground, it seems LEO in Canada don't give them much respect or regard. Oh, I'm sure there may be 'histories' and a long legacy of local problems, as is the case in many countries, but ... idk... something seems wrong about the situation with indigenous people, esp women, in Canada. I don't mean to hijack the comments, but what am I Not seeing?
@@eatiegourmet1015I find the more such buzzwords like 'diversity' are thrown around, the less welcoming of non-white men & women the preachers are. In the U S more indigenous women go missing. Yet only white woman like Gabby Petito get any media coverage. Assuming an indigenous wife and mother was a sex worker whose out drinking and will soon return are exactly what I would expect of diversity preachers.
I live in Hamilton, ON, so Pamela's case made the news here, as it was thought that there might be a connection to her disappearance. Just one more case of an Indigenous woman going missing, and the police refusing to do any investigation after labeling her as a sex worker and a drug addict, with absolutely no evidence that she was either one. This is such a common police tactic in cases of murdered and missing Indigenous women, it's no wonder that the families of these women usually end up investigating on their own. The way that the police treat cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women, and the way that they treat Indigenous men in general (Starlight Tours!!!) is one of our country's greatest shames. Things must change!!! I would also like to make a general statement, not connected to Pamela's case. Sex workers and addicts are actual human beings...very vulnerable, at-risk human beings...and their murders and disappearances should be taken as seriously, and investigated as diligently, as anyone else's. These people have family who love them, who worry about them every day, and the victims and their families deserve justice.
I always enjoy your narration style and obscure cases you find to upload. It's rare that I see an upload on your channel that I've seen covered by several other creators.
Having grown up near Table Rock and working at the restaurant there in my teenage years, one thing was not addressed. When you start out on a hike, there is a notebook at the front of the hiking trails that you are supposed to sign in to- I wonder did he sign in? It's very possible he may have fallen or even gotten bitten by a snake- there are places on the trails he could fall from and out of sight - and may still be there to this day.
I can't help feeling that Gene was silenced as he knew too much about something. I can't get round that his clothes were left behind but not his body....strange. Excellent quality as usual will always support the channel👍❤
I don't think that its always a coincidence that a parent of a missing person dies not too long after tgey go missing because the physical strain on their body over the trauma of not knowing where your child is can be too much to bear and takes its toll on their health to the point that their body can no longer take it they really do die from a broken heart and its truly tragic when that happens
The US developed the bomb in '45 and the Soviets acquired it by '49. Gene Whitacre vanished in '47, right in between. That's not to say they got any valuable intel from him, but the timing syncs up perfectly with a period of exceptionally aggressive espionage focused on nuclear weaponry.
The one of the girl at the gas station hit hardest because she was about my mother’s age. Being abducted at work would be such a terrifying experience. I hope whoever hurt her had a very nasty end himself, and I hope she is found💔
The gas station case is yet another in the pattern that was so common: the idiocy of allowing a young women to work alone; nobody doing anything about not seeing her etc. A case exactly like this happened in Harrisonburg VA, never solved. The conduct or lack of conduct by the park in assuming that the young man decided to take a major hike and then just left without his car and blah blah blah--they are supposed to check on the car's arrival dates and usually there is a sticker indicating when they will leave. Families are really on their own in these cases. Thank you for bringing some light into the darkness.
I'm 52 now and I loved True Crime stories and strange disappearances and things like that growing up. There were a few detective magazines I would get. and the local library and used bookstore in town. I always felt like the Lone Ranger back then 😂. my friends thought I was a weirdo, always talking about a serial killer LOL so I'm glad to kno I'm not the only one who likes hearing about life's oddities
Family: Our sister has been missing for two weeks in Canada in the middle of winter! Police: Oh, she's probably just on a bender and she'll turn up. Oh, and she's also a hooker because we found some private nudie pics while digging around in her computer and not doing anything else. Now go away, we're busy because your investigator has just committed serious crimes. OMG, I watch a lot of these videos so I know rural police can be pretty bad, but this is a whole other level!
17:33 that one made me cry ... Clemson is close to home. I truly pray Jason's mother will get some answers. Not knowing what happened to your child has to be the worst kind of torture 😢
Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed descriptions of these dear missing people. Having the pictures really bring these people to life, and hopefully will assist in them being found.
The case with Gene - it disgusts me that he would be officially declared a deserter. That is horrible!!! Homicide is clearly the most likely outcome, and he should be honorably discharged. That is fucking awful.
I assume you’re unaware that “active” military status keeps the federal investigation active as well. In other words, he’s a deserter because the federal agencies are still investigating.
@@eggsngritstn I apologize, but I don’t fully understand this; does this mean him being called a deserter is a good thing, because otherwise there would be no investigation? It also prevents his family from receiving VA benefits and stuff, but of course I don’t know the status of his family. It just makes me sad that he would be labeled in such a disrespectful manner when it’s not the most logical situation.
Thank you for your work on these videos. All 5 of these cases are heartbreaking 💔. I can't imagine the "Not Knowing" where your loved one is . Getting their stories out is an amazing thing to do. May the victims Rest in Peace 🕊️ May the families and friends get the answers they all deserve 🙏 Stay safe out there everyone Much love from North Carolina 🌷
I think what happened to that soldier is. Someone knew he had a bunch of money on him and killed him in a robbery. And I think the military should have been more involved Especially because this guy had no prior history of desertion
Why in the world, with all of his personal clothing with blood all over it found at the scene, are they still even considering him awol ???? Someone please explain this to me.
With his line of work its not hard to imagine that Gene was taken out because he knew something that certain person didn't want anyone to know about the FBI definitely knows what happened to him imo
Agreed. He had integrity, so if he saw something underhanded, then they would take him out without skipping a beat. Why else would there be hundreds of documents on him that need to be redacted?
@@consciousobserver629 Normally, the names and details of third parties (witnesses, FBI staff, etc.) are redacted, as is any information relating to investigative techniques. Sometimes these redactions are overbroad. That said, I would strongly discourage anyone from publicly questioning any agencies concerned with National Security or Intelligence. If they wish to keep information hidden, it is in nobody's best interests to attempt to disclose it. I have no desire to draw any attention to myself from these agencies.
I sure hope Jason's mother knows that there are very very secret black ops military programs where someone like Jason, perfectionist, his ROTC background, highly intelligent and unfortunately they will make a person "grey" .unidentifiable.. Some fulfil positions like surveillance operatives, or even yes, UAP programs. They used to make if look like the person died but now they do something like Jason situation...car abandoned at a national park. I'm not sayin this is what happened to him..but his mom have some peace knowing this is definitely a possibility.
How come you don't have the same music you have in all your videos playing in the background in this video? It makes the video more catching and interesting
Are you….are you picking from the “Index 1”, “Index 2”, etc from The Doe Network….? Because I used to just read them page by page for fun, and pretty sure all of these are close together on those…
What's your point? Were you thinking she heads out with her magnifying glass and fingerprint powder to personally investigate all the cases she has covered, then reports her findings to us?

Yes a lot of experienced hikers have gone missing on hikes!

I imagine it may draw them to places that are a little more dangerous, but the common thing is that they all had something bad happen outdoors.
Doesn't matter how much you know, the unexpected can happen to anyone.
Attacked by a wild animal. Hands down
I would imagine more experienced hikers get into trouble in the mountains than inexperienced. Because the inexperienced hikers don't go far.

It also denies his family benefits

We have so many Native Women Missing in Canada
It Never Ends
Police Never Do Anything
That is so sad. I am sorry, EVERYONE IS IMPORTANT . Police not trying is beyond understandable to me. All are in my prayers.
Well, your prime Minister is a true nazi sympathizer. What do you expect?
One young white women missing and the cable network starts 24 hours coverage for weeks.
No need to be racist. All lives are precious.
Those natives around there need to start their own investigation unit and solve these crimes themselves... sad but at this point the rcmp is clearly never gonna do it for them...
You do these families and missing people honor on how you make note of their individual natures. Thank you.

$500 dollars in 1947 is equivelant to almost $7000 today.

💙I respect & appreciate how much care & thought you put into each of these stories. Thank you for what I’m sure is hours upon hours of work💙
Your voice sounds sooo amazing 😩😳 I’m addicted
Totally disrespectful to say that about someone's missing family member simply coz they found personal pictures of her on her own computer
Poor gene. The desert is good place to hide a body.
True, the Italian Mob used to do that in Vegas.
Awesome job Heavy Casefiles!! I never heard any of these!!!! Keep it up spreading awareness about cases not talked about!!!

And to that they scoffed at and denigrated Whitaker Chambers who was right all along.

Without cameras as well. Vulnerable women working alone at night should be banned everywhere.

so I'm glad to kno I'm not the only one who likes hearing about life's oddities
Always happy when you release a new video. 😊
Family: Our sister has been missing for two weeks in Canada in the middle of winter!
Police: Oh, she's probably just on a bender and she'll turn up. Oh, and she's also a hooker because we found some private nudie pics while digging around in her computer and not doing anything else. Now go away, we're busy because your investigator has just committed serious crimes.
OMG, I watch a lot of these videos so I know rural police can be pretty bad, but this is a whole other level!
Seriously. Why would they assume she was a sex worker just because of a couple of nude pics on her computer? I don’t get it.
I could be way off and probably am, but i think Veda ran away to start a new life.
It was suspicious that she took the day off and lied about going home to nap. I immediately thought she was meeting up with someone.
17:33 that one made me cry ... Clemson is close to home. I truly pray Jason's mother will get some answers. Not knowing what happened to your child has to be the worst kind of torture 😢
It's cool that u get these stories out there but man are they sad
Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed descriptions of these dear missing people. Having the pictures really bring these people to life, and hopefully will assist in them being found.
If they wouldn't just up and leave their children behind the only conclusion that can be made is that they were kidnapped and murdered
The case with Gene - it disgusts me that he would be officially declared a deserter. That is horrible!!! Homicide is clearly the most likely outcome, and he should be honorably discharged. That is fucking awful.

I went to N. Olmsted high (grad 1981). I don't recall this story but I wasn't tuned into news, so very sad.
Where have you been? Missed you 💙
Thank you for covering a MMIW (CA) case, HC. Well done, as always!

Much love from North Carolina 🌷
How do you get kidnapped from work at 1pm!
Love your channel!!!!
That case involving Harvey you could make an espionage Cold War movie about his case.
I don't think his disappearance was tied to Russia or espionage.
@chesspiece81 probably not, but I could see a movie being made out of it.
I think what happened to that soldier is. Someone knew he had a bunch of money on him and killed him in a robbery. And I think the military should have been more involved Especially because this guy had no prior history of desertion

@@Lainy_Donlon Yeah, that don't make any sense to me either They literally found some of his clothes with bloodstains on them.
The disappearance of Katie Eggleston is one of the most baffling and mysterious.
How weird to hear my small town York, PA mentioned on here! I’ve also never heard of Jason’s case before now.
Jasons case shows how important it is to report seeing cars left unattended. This is very sad 😢
I am glad this doesn't use AI voices
Someone needs to put the thumbscrews on Pamela's common-law spouse, if he's not involved I'll eat my hat.
I love this woman’s voice
Oh man, I know that stretch of Lorain Rd over in N. Olmsted/Fairview Park...

I love your voice! This video is in my "Sleepy Time" playlist! ❤
Sounds like they were ignored. 😔
Police ignoring and ridiculing an indigenous woman’s case? Never heard of THAT happening before (sarcasm)
Why would someone rob and stab someone then take off their shirt and glasses.
"Touch DNA"
