Locations Unknown - EP. #68: Gwen Hasselquist Part 4 - Dora’s Interview
play

08/22/22 • 131 min

In episode 68, we continue our investigation of the suspicious death of Gwen Hasselquist, interviewing Dora, Gwen's stepsister. Dora had recently reconnected with Gwen and was at her house a few hours after she was reported missing and stayed around for the initial days after her death. Join us this week as we learn new details about Gwen's life before she died and what happened in the weeks after her death. * Notes on this episode: - We've been informed, after recording this episode, that the automated toll booth cameras only record the license plate, not the person driving. We were also informed that there might not have been video cameras that would have captured someone walking or running off the bridge.

Locations Unknown - EP. #45: Donnell Vista Point Disappearances
play

08/07/21 • 47 min

The Stanislaus National Forest is located in Tuolumne County California, near the northwestern part of Yosemite National Park. The forest is home to hundreds of miles of streams, rivers, and over a thousand miles of trails. Yet, just beyond the forests beauty lies a dark and mysterious past. From 2005 to 2016, three individuals have gone missing, without a trace, at the exact same location; Donnell Vista Point. Join us this week as we investigate the Donnell Vista Point Disappearances. Correction 1- During the location profile we correctly listed out the wildlife in this area of California. However, we misspoke further in the episode in regards to Grizzlies in California. One of the joys of doing the show live is you can't edit or re-record spots you mess up. One of us asked if there were Grizzlies in this area and the other host replied no but stated there are Grizzlies in other parts of California. This is incorrect. There are no Grizzlies in California and there haven't been for decades. Thank you to our listeners for pointing this out. Correction 2 - The first subject of the episode was correctly described as moving from over seas to Oklahoma and residing in Nevada at the time of her disappearance. We correctly mentioned that she originally drove from Nevada to Donnell Vista Point. However, further in the episode, one of the hosts misspoke and referenced Oklahoma multiple times when he should have said Nevada. We apologize for the error and again thank our listeners for pointing this out. Want to call into the show and leave us a message? Now you can!

Locations Unknown - EP. #50: Gwen Hasselquist - Gig Harbor - Washington
play

11/09/21 • 96 min

A Note about this episode- For our regular listeners, this episode is a departure from the normal cases we cover. A lawyer with sources close to the subject of this episode contacted us about the death of a woman named Gwen Hasselquist. While her obituary lists the cause of death as Covid-19, his sources are convinced foul play is involved. The following episode is our fact finding, in person interview, with the lawyer who has taken a personal interest in investigating this case. Since recording this interview, we have filed several FOIA requests with local law enforcement, seeking out any additional information on what might have happened to Gwen. If or when we discover significant additional information about Gwen, we will release a follow up episode to discuss the findings. There are also some quotes containing profanity so parental discretion is advised. March 2020, Gig Harbor Washington, Gwen Hasselquist is diagnosed with COVID 19, and goes missing. Shortly after an obituary is posted in the local paper indicating that she passed away from the illness. However, there are conflicting statements about the actual cause of her death. Join us this week as we investigate the death of Gwen Hasselquest. New Patreon supporter shout-outs: Becca & Samantha Anderson Want to help the show out and get even more Locations Unknown content!

For our 100th episode, Extreme Filmmaker and Co-host of the show SVC Explorers of the Unknown Evan B Stone, is back to tell us about his Ghost Hunting trip to Chernobyl for Syfy Channel's Destination Truth.
In 2009, Evan B. Stone, Josh Gates, and their team conducted the first ever paranormal investigation at the site of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. He goes into all the spooky, behind-the-scenes details on the trip and shares some amazing photographs he took. Later in the episode, he talks with us about his latest show, SVC Explorers of the Unknown, where he and renowned paranormal investigator Jack Vaisey try to uncover the truth behind paranormal, cryptid, and UFO investigations. We end the episode talking with Evan about his time as a filmmaker working for MTV, at the height of its popularity in the early to mid 90's, where he met almost every popular musician of the decade! (Video of this episode will be available on our YouTube channel within 24 hours)
It's been a 5+ year journey to get to this point and we can't thank you enough for sticking with us throughout all our mispronunciations and grizzly bear controversies! (Inside joke for OG listeners) Thank You from Mike and Joe!

On a quiet afternoon in January 1980, veteran park ranger Paul Fugate set out on a routine patrol in Arizona's Chiricahua National Monument, promising to return shortly. He was never seen again. Despite extensive searches, not a single trace of him was found. Was it a tragic accident in the rugged wilderness, or did something more sinister happen? Join us as we revisit the mysterious disappearance of Paul Fugate.
We first covered this case back on December 1, 2018. At that time, no other podcasts had covered Paul's case and very few shows were even focusing on wilderness disappearances. Since then, the wilderness disappearances sub-genre has exploded with amazing shows like Park Predators & National Park After Dark. With our 6 year anniversary coming up fast, we thought it would be fun to redo our first episode from the ground up, so we ditched the original show notes and came into the case fresh, with new perspectives on what might have happened. Hope you enjoy the episode and let us know how EP 114 compares with EP1! We can't thank you enough for sticking with us for 6 years and we're looking forward to many more years to come!
