View more of my videos -    • Vanished in the Wild: National Park Disapp...   Three people vanished in the Great Smoky Mountains—and despite massive searches, mysterious clues and years of investigation, none of them has ever been found. In this hour-long wilderness mystery documentary, we examine the unexplained disappearances of Michael “Mike” Hearon, Derek Joseph Lueking and Trenny Gibson. Each entered the Smoky Mountains under very different circumstances. Each left behind a trail of questions. And each case remains unsolved. Mike Hearon disappeared from his property near Great Smoky Mountains National Park in 2008. His abandoned ATV was discovered nearby, but searchers found no convincing trail explaining where he went. Derek Lueking vanished in 2012 after leaving behind a troubling note. His vehicle was later found at Newfound Gap inside the national park, triggering an extensive wilderness search that uncovered no trace of him. Sixteen-year-old Trenny Gibson disappeared during a 1976 high-school field trip near Clingmans Dome. Surrounded by classmates in one of America’s most visited national parks, she seemingly vanished without leaving behind a single confirmed clue. What happened to these three missing people? Did they become lost in the rugged terrain—or does the evidence point toward something more complicated? Join A Universe of Mystery as we reconstruct their final known movements, explore the search areas and examine the leading theories surrounding three of the most mysterious disappearances connected to the Great Smoky Mountains.
