    4 DAYS AGO

    EP. #112: Tom Leonard - Spatsizi Provincial Park - British Columbia - Canada

    On September 11, 2005, experienced outdoorsman and hunter, Tom Leonard, embarked on what was supposed to be the adventure of a lifetime. Armed with a rare, limited-entry permit to hunt sheep in the remote and rugged Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Provincial Park, he meticulously planned a 10-day hunt, packing enough supplies for an additional 10 days, just in case. But when Tom failed to return home, his worried wife alerted authorities, sparking a massive search through one of Canada's most unforgiving landscapes. What happened to Tom Leonard? Was it the treacherous terrain, unpredictable weather, or something far more sinister lurking in the wilderness? Join us this week as we dive into the unsolved mystery of Tom Leonard’s disappearance, the search efforts, and the questions that remain unanswered to this day.
