Manage episode 438460840 series 3589683
When a tourist from California treks north to visit the beautiful and scenic North Cascades National Park in northern Washington, no one could predict how his trip would end. After park officials noticed an abandoned painting easel and car near the Colonial Creek Campground, the search was on for the missing artist. Searching ensued but the owner of the easel has never been found and his whereabouts still remain a mystery today.
