Missing 411: The Runner Who Vanished on Alaska's Deadliest Race

On July 4, 2012, 65-year-old Michael LeMaitre was running his first Mount Marathon race in Seward, Alaska — a brutal 3.5-mile course with over 3,000 feet of vertical climbing. He was seen just 200 feet from the turnaround point... and then he was never seen again. No clues. No trace. No trail. Despite a massive search involving Alaska State Troopers, the Air National Guard, cadaver dogs, and dozens of volunteers, Michael LeMaitre has never been found — and over a decade later, he's still officially classified as a missing person, even though a court declared him legally dead back in 2012. In this video: the race, his last confirmed sighting, the search, the lawsuit that changed race safety rules forever, the false lead that reopened the case in 2014, and the leading theories on what actually happened. 📚 Sources: Anchorage Daily News StrangeOutdoors.com #Missing411 #TrueCrime #MountMarathon #Alaska #UnsolvedMystery #MissingPerson
