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
29 de jul.
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.

Lost in the valley of death is well written and dives deeper into his childhood.
Throwback

I really liked this podcast but not because of the subject of it. I lived this lifestyle a decade before Justin did and came across so many men like him. Lost, eternally unhappy and unfulfilled, with a problematic view of women, having a white savior complex and simultaneously seeking higher levels of consciousness through drugs and exploiting other cultures. Being comfortable in nature, whether it was sailing alone across the Pacific or trekking the Himalayas was not out of the norm. The idea of the “hero’s journey” is not specific to Justin in this group. His social media presence made his story more accessible than others who have lived similarly, which is likely why the host and others were so captivated by him. For someone who hasn’t really lived like this, such as Liam, Justin and his disappearance seem intriguing and mysterious. But like so many like him, Justin was unfortunately only focused on Justin and left a world of hurt in his wake. His poor mother, the Baba, the porter, the people of Khirganga. All forever damaged. People are complex and clearly he was loved, but Justin is one of many who have lived and died like this: someone who takes and only leaves pain. Having such a knee-jerk reaction is why I liked the podcast, despite disliking Justin. It left me thinking about it and stirred up old, uncomfortable feelings. Liam did a good job telling his journey of finding out what happened to Justin, which to me seemed pretty obvious. Thanks for the listen.
Interesting and well produced

I suspect the people complaining have not listened to a lot of podcasts focusing on Missing Persons. This podcast did a good job telling the story and trying to uncover clues. There is not always a clear answer in cases like this. I found the international aspect interesting, including the interviews with individuals involved who are from India. A lot of people who go missing lived lives that were somewhat complicated. I certainly have mixed feelings about Justin. What I do know is that there are people who care about him who would like to know what actually happened. I really enjoyed the host, the music, and the production that was as good as it could have been, particularly since a lot of it involved phone calls and meetings and locations where you could not have a full studio present to ensure the best possible sound quality. good work. These guys make a great team and I'm hoping they will team up for another investigation.
