Stephanie:我认为阿尔坎塔拉比人们想象的更聪明,很擅长操纵别人。当我们发现他驾驶着我哥哥的车时,我们意识到情况非常糟糕,因为这不再只是一起失踪案,而是一起刑事案件。我们之前一直以为我哥哥只是遭遇了意外,但现在我们不得不面对谋杀的可能性。我感到非常无助和沮丧,因为我们想帮忙却只能等待消息,而消息又不能透露太多。我当时完全崩溃了,我需要有人在我身边让我保持理智。 Marissa:伊恩·埃克尔斯在2020年5月16日失踪,他的家人朋友在奥卡诺根-韦纳奇国家森林展开大规模搜索。伊恩的FJ巡洋舰突然出现,但驾驶者不是伊恩,而这个人可能是一个连环杀手。为了理解搜索伊恩的难度和范围,你必须先想象他失踪的地方,这是一个郁郁葱葱的山区,被称为奥卡诺根-韦纳奇国家森林。华盛顿的整个地区非常美丽,但同时也使得搜索非常困难,因为森林覆盖了许多不同的地形。 Christopher Whitsett:我们县位于金县以东,那里是西雅图,是一个高密度、高人口的地区,很多人来这里休闲,因为我们有山脉、河流、森林等等。伊恩来这里打猎,很有代表性。该地区位于Liberty镇附近,Mineral Springs休闲区位于中心,在97号公路旁,该公路从Ellensburg向北延伸至Wenatchee。这是一个以狩猎和徒步等休闲活动而闻名的山区,森林茂密。离开97号公路后,你行驶在森林服务道路上,有些路况很好,是砾石路,但有些路况非常糟糕。 Stephen:这是一个树木繁茂的地区,大部分不平坦,搜索起来很困难。与俄勒冈州东部较为平坦的土地不同,这里有很多绿色植被和树木,还有一些悬崖。他可能被推下了悬崖,掉进了峡谷里,我不知道那些峡谷是否容易进入。我大部分时候都想保持乐观,希望我们能找回他的遗骸。 Chandra:我们的一组人与驾驶他车辆的人取得联系后,警方终于开始认真对待这件事。之前他们也派出了搜救队,但我觉得他们只是敷衍了事,不是搜救队,而是警察自己,他们的体验不是很好。但我们一直在前进,直到找到一些东西,这才是点燃他们屁股下的火,让他们行动起来的动力,我们一直很认真,一直在告诉他们。

Shownotes Transcript

This episode originally aired on June 29, 2021. By May 23, 2020, 41-year-old Ian Eckles had been missing for a week. He had made plans to go hunting with a friend, but never showed up at their meeting spot. When he failed to report to work the next day, concern quickly turned into alarm.

Ian’s family and friends launched a desperate search across the rugged terrain of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest along Washington’s Cascade Mountains. Exhausted and running on adrenaline, they scoured the wilderness for any sign of him.

Then, something surreal happened. Ian’s FJ Cruiser came barreling down the mountain. But Ian wasn’t driving. A brief, tense encounter with the man behind the wheel ended with him fleeing into the forest, and a chase that didn’t last long.

That encounter triggered a massive manhunt for an armed and dangerous fugitive, and it raised even more questions about what really happened to Ian Eckles.
