Justin Alexander was a survival expert, a full-time vagabond, and the kind of man who could disappear—if he wanted to. But in 2016, after venturing into India’s remote and unforgiving Parvati Valley, he didn’t come back. Led into the Himalayas by a holy man on a so-called spiritual quest, Justin left behind whispers, half-truths, and a cryptic, haunting message: "If I’m not back by mid-September, don’t look for me." Status: Untraced is a gripping journey into the unknown—a search through treacherous landscapes, whispered legends, and truths that refuse to sit still. Because out there in the wild, the line between lost and gone can be razor thin.

Just okay

This was interesting and kept me hooked. However, the host’s unnatural speaking cadence was really distracting.
Mixed feelings

I have mixed feelings about this podcast. On one hand it’s compelling, well told, very well produced, and the host is so earnest and genuine. However, the subject of the story is extremely unlikable and the host’s idolization of him is disconcerting. It is absolutely tragic that Justin was very possibly murdered, he didn’t deserve that and his loved ones don’t deserve to have him taken from them and without any answers. However, the host’s insistence that Justin was a “hero” (to use his word) and worthy of emulation and respect is honestly kind of gross. Justin was a womanizer with a white savior complex who engaged in illegal activities in a country that wasn’t his own. That’s not admirable or rare at all, the world is full of men like that. Putting all those resources to find someone who by his own words didn’t even want to be found while also idolizing him is misguided at best.
Gross “hero worship”

This podcasts reeks of a bunch of mediocre white bros manufacturing a sense of mystery and danger to make themselves feel special.
Don't bother

This is a podcast about the American travellers the rest of the world finds repugnant. The entitlement and self absorption of those involved in this story is unbearable to listen to. I wish they had included literally any meaningful analysis of neocolonial travel; ie what it means for rich white bros to act like South Asia exists for their personal quest for "freedom."
