Paulides is a snake oil salesman and as more and more of his "eerie cases" are being solved his legitimacy is falling apart.

I don't really care what you believe, but it is true you are ignoring an important point made by Paulides.

He claims to weed out all cases which have normal indications of wilderness mishaps. He only focuses on those that are truly unique in circumstances. Watch "Missing 411: The Hunted" for some very very strange cases. It's free on youtube.

BTW - I'll wager far more people go missing near LA freeways than all the parks in the US combined. You ignore that fact because they are almost all explainable through the usual human foul play.
