I found myself brainstorming the possible reasons for these disappearances, including the aforementioned crime syndicate ideas. Too many of the cases are just freaky, impossible to explain using modern-day accepted knowledge. You just have to read this book to know what I'm talking about. (How is it possible that within 19 hours, a person is found miles away from their initial location, near a snowy ridge during bad weather?) Even if an adult or group of able-bodied, athletic people abducted these children, it would still be impossible for humans to trek across these desolate terrains, especially in some of the cases' given time frames. Toddlers end up being found (or remnants of them) miles away from the spot they went missing, sometimes at thousands of elevations high. However, many of the missing people cases are simply bizarre.

One last note - if you are looking for these books, the author does NOT sell them on any site other than his own, which you can find easily by doing a web search. My copy also had some loose pages, so be careful not to lose any if yours is the same!

There are typos, as in most of these books, but IMO not enough to take away from the experience of reading it. As always, Paulides provides as much information on each case as possible, while raising interesting questions about what is happening to these people.

Imagine the shock of discovering your child has somehow travelled such a distance and you had no idea he was even missing!Īs far as I can tell, all of these are new to the series and not in any of the other books. When the boy was found, police contacted his parents, who assured them their son was fast asleep in his bed. My favourite case this time around involves a young boy whom the police believed to have SLEEPWALKED over a hundred miles (their theory also involves him hopping a train as well, all the while never waking up) in something like 4 hours.
