   She Drove Into Thawing Ice - Survived 19 Frozen Days

   She Drove Into Thawing Ice - Survived 19 Frozen Days Cold dread: a 453-pound snowmobile sits nine feet below crystal-clear water with no skid marks, a gouge in the ice visible for nineteen days, and one question: how did a methodical rancher end up under thawing ice and survive 19 frozen days? In this episode, we follow the timeline from a Tuesday morning discovery at Kettner Lake through the early search decisions and overlooked evidence. What choices, tracks, and missed signs explain why search teams looked the wrong way while the crucial clue sat in plain sight? Person: Monica Stroud Age: 31 Vehicle: Arcturus 600 snowmobile, 453 pounds Location: Kettner Lake north arm, 6,200 feet elevation Search start: June 19 (Gerald Peck returned and reported her missing) - Monica left the ranch on June 18 to check a water source and never returned for her truck. - Gerald Peck was in Billings for four days, returning the evening of June 19 to find cattle unfed and Monica missing. - A long gouge in the north arm ice was present and visible on the surface for nineteen days before recovery. - A snowmobile track at a trail bifurcation heading southwest toward the lake was found on day four and logged as inconclusive. - William Russo discovered the snowmobile nine feet below the lake surface on a Tuesday morning while inspecting the eastern shore.

   Lost to the Ladder: 12 Hours Alone on a Fogged Tidal Flat

   Lost to the Ladder: 12 Hours Alone on a Fogged Tidal Flat Fog, cold water, and a compass that didn't lie-yet a man trusted routine so completely he walked away from home and into a tidal maze where visibility dropped under fifteen feet and his path drifted a mile and a half east. How did a practiced photographer with two decades of night flats experience end up stranded on a feature locals call the Ladder, and what single decision in the dark decided whether he would return? In this episode, we follow the timeline and choices of Clifford Price across twelve hours and forty-three minutes on the tidal flat, from the dry camera bag left on the berm at 6:14 a.m. to the fog that erased the horizon and the channels that swallowed his footing; will his rule to "find the highest ground and stay" save him or doom him? Person: Clifford Price Age: 52 Location: Kessler Bay tidal flat (the Ladder) Date: June 3-4, 2019 Duration: 12 hours 43 minutes - Camera bag found at 6:14 a.m. on the berm: dry, upright, straps buckled, zippers closed. - Clifford stepped onto the flats at 10:50 p.m, with tripod, compass, jacket, and a granola bar. - Low tide predicted at 11:47 p.m.; by 12:30 a.m. he was roughly 900 yards from the berm. - Visibility fell under 15 feet within twenty minutes of fog arrival; a moonlit photo taken around 12:10 a.m. became significant evidence. - His body unknowingly veered about 1.5 miles east into the Ladder due to small proprioceptive drift despite a correctly used compass.

   The Glove That Didn't Want To Be Found: Dawn's 44-Hour Survival

   The Glove That Didn't Want To Be Found: Dawn's 44-Hour Survival A single yellow glove, stiff with frost, sat draped over a permit map at the Holloway trailhead - a photograph that launched a search while its owner lay forty feet up the slope with a broken leg and a core temperature of 93°F. How did Dawn Jones survive nearly forty-four hours alone inside a makeshift shelter, with a green spiral journal of self-instructions and rescuers searching the wrong side of Brecker Peak for thirty-six hours? In this episode, we follow the timeline and choices that kept Dawn alive and the missteps that delayed her rescue, asking whether careful planning can still be undone by small accidents and larger failures - and what that means for search-and-rescue procedures. Person: Dawn Jones Date: May 10-14, 2019 Location: Brecker Peak, southeast slope; Holloway trailhead; Crestfield Status: Survived; transported to hospital in Crestfield Item: green spiral journal - Found at 9:47 AM on May 14, 2019: a single yellow glove stiff with frost at the Holloway trailhead kiosk. - Dawn reached the summit of Brecker Peak at 9:15 AM on May 11 at 11,200 feet elevation and descended southeast on a less-traveled ridge. - The fibula fractured roughly 600 feet below the summit at approximately 10:40 AM when a boot slipped on refrozen snow over scree. - Dawn spent nearly 44 hours alone with a core temperature recorded at 93°F and sheltered about 40 feet inside a makeshift windbreak of an orange emergency space blanket. - Searchers spent 36 hours searching the wrong face of the mountain while a helicopter passed overhead and Dawn could not reach it.
