39. Missing on Mt. Shasta (Shasta-Trinity National Forest, California)
An experienced outdoorsman set out to summit Mt.Shasta with two of his friends. He became very ill with altitude sickness and the trip went sideways from there. He was last seen heading towards Lake Helen and was never seen again. His disappearance mirrored another man who went missing while hiking on Shasta in 1965, despite having successfully summiting the mountain over 40 times.
If you have any information on the disappearance of Carl Landers, please contact the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Department at (530) 842-8300.

41. Mysterious Death in Yosemite (Yosemite National Park, California)
Yosemite is known for being a hot spot for missing hikers and strange disappearances. In fact, Yosemite National Park has a higher-than-average number of missing persons. But it has less frequent mysterious deaths. In 1979, one park employee vanished and her death is highly suspect and remains unsolved. Was her death accidental or was she a victim of a serial killer?
