In 2016, survivalist and world traveler Justin Alexander goes missing in the Parvati Valley while on a spiritual trek into the Himalayan Mountains. While the circumstances of his disappearance point to murder, a chilling message he left behind throws everything into question: “I should return mid-September or so. If I’m not back by then, don’t look for me.” Four years later, host and true crime newcomer Liam Luxon is introduced to Justin's story and embarks on an investigation into the mysterious case. "Status-Untraced" is a 10-episode journey that explores the secrets the Valley holds, the stones left unturned, and what really happened to Justin Alexander.

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.
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."

Status Untraced is an absolute gem of a podcast that stands out not just for its gripping content, but for the way it captivates the listener from the very first episode. Whether you’re a fan of true crime, mysteries, or simply well-researched investigative journalism, this podcast delivers on all fronts. It’s clear that the creators have put their heart and soul into the production, and it shows in every carefully crafted episode. One of the standout aspects of Status Untraced is its commitment to uncovering the untold stories of missing persons, giving a voice to the voiceless and shedding light on cases that have often been forgotten or overlooked by the mainstream media. The hosts approach each case with empathy and sensitivity, never sensationalizing the tragedies but instead focusing on the human element behind every story. This level of respect for the victims and their families is something I deeply appreciate, and it adds a layer of emotional depth that makes the podcast all the more impactful. The research is thorough and meticulous, which is one of the reasons Status Untraced stands out from other true crime podcasts. You can tell that the hosts have done their homework, often presenting new angles or information that hasn’t been widely discussed elsewhere. They weave together facts, interviews, and expert opinions in a way that keeps you on the edge of your seat, eager to learn more with every passing minute. The pacing is excellent, with just the right balance between factual reporting and storytelling that makes each episode engaging from start to finish.
