Top Map: Missing 411 Cases (Under 'mysteriously vanished’ circumstances)

Bottom Map: Caves Systems throughout the US

The top map was created by David Paulides, a former detective, to highlight missing 411 cases throughout the US near national parks that he deemed “strange”. The bottom map aims to highlight the correlation between these strange missing cases near national parks and the cave systems throughout the country.

National parks are home to nearly 5000 caves.

(PS: Paulides has a really interesting series of books called Missing 411 if you’re looking for a fun read)

A Not-So-Brave New World -- Conclusion

This is Part VI and the conclusion to what was initially intended to be a 2 or 3-part story that ran away with my brain and turned into six parts!  Frankly, I could have done at least two more chapters, but I felt it was time to wrap it up.  I hope you enjoyed this mini-series!  (Links to all five previous chapters are at the bottom) The silence was awkward … nobody knew quite where to start.  I…
