part

y at Rowan's grandparents' house.

They lived in Richmond, New Hampshire, which is a pretty rural

part

of New Hampshire, and his house was literally in the woods. You had to go down a very long road to get to the one-story house where they had cut down all the trees in the backyard to clear a space to have these amazing cookouts for family gatherings and so, Rowan, his two brothers and their father arrived at the entrance of the driveway that will take them to the house and they can already tell that there are tons of

people

here because there are cars lined up in the driveway all the way to the street, so they go up the driveway entrance and actually reach the backyard. it's just a sea of ​​adults, teenagers and kids, it's a big family gathering and Rowan and her two brothers just run off to go play with their cousins, so for the next few hours the kids just ran around and had a great time and the adults are having a good time and at some point the adults started to realize after the fact they said they realized this they started to notice that Rowan was chasing a cat there was a cat that lived at the grandparents' house and he loved the cat and was chasing it all over the backyard and at some point Rowan ran into the woods to chase this cat and several adults saw him do it but it was like a mob mentality where everyone thought someone else was watching to Rowan and they weren't trying. being negligent they just realized there are so many

people

here you know what can go wrong in a very short period of time mr griffin realizes he can't find his son so he goes to the kids and He tells them, "Hey, have you seen Rowan and?" They're like, oh yeah, I think he was chasing a cat, you know, I think he was there and then Mr.

Griffin asked the adults and they said the same thing, yeah, he was chasing a cat, I think he was there and after look for him and everyone was basically saying he was chasing this cat and couldn't find him. He just started yelling at the group. Hey everyone, stop for a second. I can't find Rowan. You know everyone tells me he's chasing a cat. So can you tell? I where he went I don't know where he is and they quickly realize he's not in the house he's not in the backyard he's not at the end of the driveway he's not in any of the cars he's not here and very quickly the group started to yell at Rowan, they're running into the woods, they're looking for him and Mr.

Griffin says, "I don't know how long he's been gone, so call 9-1-1 right then and there and he's not drinking." any possibility, so the police came out and they launched a huge search and then all these locals in the area that had ATVs and four wheelers came out and were driving through the woods looking for Rowan, they were all screaming for him, there were hundreds of people. people around, but when the sun started to set, they still hadn't

found

him, they hadn't

found

any indication of where he went, they assumed he made it out into the woods because the last sign of him was that he was chasing a cat into the woods. potentially, but they didn't really know and eventually the sun sets that night and they have to postpone the search until first light the next morning and you can only imagine how horrible that was for Rowan's parents as they sat inside that. night wondering what is happening to his two-year-old son he is alone in the forest, so very early the next morning a whole group of volunteers returned to the forest to look for rowan.

There was one group in particular that wanted to look a little further than where everyone else was looking, they were going to be over three miles away in this swamp, so this group of searchers started walking towards this swamp and They realized immediately that it is a very humid place and In a deep swamp, they took a step towards something that seemed solid and sank eight feet into the water. They were all wearing waders so they wouldn't get wet, but they were basically muddy through the swamp and it was very thick and at some point, they make their way through a clearing and see on a log what looks like a pair of shoes or shoes. for children.

They sure seem small enough to be children, so they wave and climb up to this dry section of dirt. and they come closer and sure enough, they were boy's shoes, so they yell at him a couple of times and they stop to listen and after a minute they hear him calling, he's yelling here and they pass by this huge bush and they look and they can't believe it They see Rowan right in the middle of this swamp of water there's a tree that's right in the middle of this and he's holding on to the tree it looks dry it looks good and he's just standing on this island holding this tree and immediately the seekers jump right into the water and they start walking towards this island where Rowan is and the whole time they're there, the water is up to their chest and they're looking around and there's at least that much depth around this thing and they're looking at the kid and it's completely dry and he's two years old, they don't know if he can swim or not, so they're thinking to themselves how did he get here, but either way they say, let's just find the boy and bring him back to his parents and finally they jump to this island and They look at Rowan, he seems fine, they choose him.

Upstairs they keep him out of the water and take him back to land and back to his parents. Initially, Rowan's parents and the police and the searchers are all so happy that Rowan is alive that no one asks questions about you know what. passed. and you know what the problem is with being found on that island, how did you get out there? it said: you know what happened, how you got lost and how you got to that island and at first Rowan just didn't say anything, but finally he said that there were cows out there and he said that they were afraid of cows and that's why he went to the island because he wanted to get away from the cows now there were no cows in that swamp or near where he was that night so either he didn't see anything and was hallucinating seeing animals or he was mislabeling something else he was seeing but whatever he was seeing or he thought was seeing, it scared the hell out of him and he got very scared when he talked about these cows, but regardless of what he saw or didn't see, the million dollar question is how did he get to that island, because to get to that island, as a child of Two years the size he was, he would have had to swim, the water was too deep in every way. the island and he didn't know how to swim, but even if he had found a way to magically swim to this island, why wasn't he wet?

It's also worth noting that this all took place just a few miles from the infamous Bennington. Triangle, which is this area in southern Vermont where there have been a large number of people who went

missing

under very mysterious circumstances in 1953. Jerry Monkman, an 11 year old boy, was considered a very fragile child, he was thinner than his peers, he was shorter than his peers and had a really bad case of asthma, which was a respiratory condition that made doing any physical activity really difficult, but despite his perceived frailty, he loved going out, he loved hiking and he was a member proud of the boy scouts, so on april 25 of that year, jerry was really excited when he found out that his boy scout troop was offering a trip to the foothills of the rocky mountains to go camping and hiking for a weekend and he took advantage of the opportunity so jerry his troop and his troop leaders piled into a pickup truck and made their way up to the rocky mountains and as soon as they get there they take off on this tremendously rugged hike up to the Teton Canyon and about An hour into their trip, one of the troop leaders turns around and Jerry is gone.

The troop leaders didn't know how. He had been gone for a long time, so they only searched for a couple of minutes before one of them ran down the mountain to try to get help. Soon the sheriff's department arrived and sixteen hundred volunteers from the city who had heard about this, they all headed towards the mountain and are combing this mountain to find jerry as quickly as possible, but after several hours they could not find him and the People began to think the worst and then, just at that moment, the bloodhound they had brought to try to track him picked him out.

He catches Jerry's scent and starts walking away down the trail and the dog's handler tells everyone, hey, he picked him up, we're going to find him, we're going to find him and he thinks the dog will take him to him, you know, within a mile or so of where they are, but the dog just stays on a full b line for six hours, he just goes straight north for six hours until he comes to this big swamp where he stops like I found him, this is where ends, this swamp was 12 miles from where Jerry had disappeared, so the guide and the people who had followed this dog searched the swamp because although they thought it was totally unlikely that Jerry, this fragile 11-year-old boy with asthma, had Maneuvered 12 miles uphill through rugged terrain. ground to the swamp, they still felt like they needed to look for it so they searched the swamp, there was nothing there so the dog handler thought it was okay, my dog ​​must have made a mistake and gave the dog the scent again thinking The dog will turn around and start heading back towards where Jerry had disappeared, but instead, his dog basically just reconfirms that no, this is where the smell brought me.

I'm still right, so was the dog handler and everyone else who had made this long, treacherous 12 mile journey. to the swamp they simply decided that the dog must have made a mistake and that the boy could never have been here. The next morning at 8 am, an 8 year old boy named David was riding his horse about 30 miles from where Jerry had disappeared. and he just happened to be looking up at the tree line and a kid comes out of the tree line and waves at him and then David walks up and it turns out it's Jerry Monkman.

Jerry would simply tell David that he needs to return to his group. and david was like, you know what you're doing here and jerry just said, i really don't know, i just need to get back to my group. I was with a group yesterday and I need to get back to them and apparently David asked. him, well how did you get here if you were with them yesterday and all jerry could say was that i fell asleep under a tree? I don't know when word reached the searchers that they had found jerry and they had found him 30 miles away.

They couldn't believe it the day before it had been incredible that he could have traveled 12 miles to that literally incredible swamp they didn't believe it no he couldn't have done it and now clearly he has traveled at least 30 miles to David found him where he found him and that's 30 miles in a straight line, that is, air miles overhead, 30 miles. The reality is that when you walk in the desert you don't walk in a straight line, you turn and go left. there are curves and the area he must have passed through during those 30 miles is unmarked, it's rough, hilly, horrible terrain, unmarked, so he must have covered over 40 miles to get there, which is why the police asked him how did you do this. cover the distance you covered in such a short time and jerry was saying that he just remembers sleeping under a tree and then waking up and seeing animals poking their heads out from behind different trees and he didn't know what kind of animals.

They were, but he was being watched and he was worried that they would hurt him, but they didn't and he said he could keep walking and he would keep sleeping under these trees and he kept seeing these animals that were watching him. and he kept saying I was never hurt, I was never hurt and obviously this didn't answer any of the questions the investigators were looking to answer and they just felt like okay maybe he's in shock and we can ask him another time but the theory became Well, then he must have been abducted to have covered this distance, but that raises the question of who is capable of moving an 11 year old child that distance in such a short time.

We're talking about a 30-hour movement window. potentially over 50 miles carrying an 11 year old and then even if there was someone or something that was capable of lifting an11 year old child and maneuver him that distance in such a short time, for what purpose, why would they do it? That's why Jerry was taken to the swamp and then maneuvered to where they found him. It does not make any sense. One of the most remote

places

in the world is Boulder Island in Alaska. It is two thirds of the way to Russia along the Aleutian island chain the nearest inhabited island is about 50 miles away the weather on boulder island is quite brutal especially during the winter and there is no electricity there in In 1944 the United States Army decided that it wanted to send five of its soldiers to monitor the weather station on Boulder Island, which was the only thing the island was used for, so one of the people who was sent to this task It was a guy named Bud Houston.

Bud was born in Wisconsin and worked in a shipyard before. He enlisted in the army in 1942. He was a keen hunter and outdoorsman, so the prospect of living on this kind of desolate Alaskan island really appealed to him and he was excited about the task in October of that year. . Bud was flown to Baldier Island. and he met up with the four other soldiers who were going to live on the island with him, it was going to be those five on the island, there was no one else there and they quickly learned that their job of monitoring the weather station was very low effort. work and therefore they could do all their tasks over the course of the day quite easily and it freed up a lot of time for them to explore the island and that would become a favorite pastime of his because there really wasn't much else to do. there except explore the island and very quickly they became familiar with the whole island because it was not that big, it was about two and a half miles wide by four and a half miles long on March 3, 1945, so five months after I arrived to Buldier Island, so now they know every square inch of the island.

They feel very comfortable here. They had to do a routine patrol around the weather station. This was something they did several times a week, so it was very routine and all five of them. they're sitting at the weather station and Bud says he'll do it so he grabs his rifle and heads outside to do this patrol and the other four are just sitting at the weather station and after about an hour they realize that Bud he hasn't done it. I'm still back and this patrol doesn't take more than 20 minutes so they go out to see if he's out there and the weather at that time was very mild, you know, there's no snow on the ground, it's not very cold, it's not very windy and The visibility tonight was pretty good, so you are looking towards the island and the island is treeless on the far end, on the opposite end from where the weather station is, there is a mountain of significant size, but other than that , it's not particularly mountainous, so from their perspective they could look at the island and basically see everything and at first they don't see him anywhere, they weren't that worried because they figure you know what he knows what he's doing, he's been here so long that it is.

They were probably just exploring or something but they decided they would go look for him, they went down to the water, he's not there, they walked all over the other side of the island, they couldn't find him, so when they got back to the weather station they said we had We had to tell the command that we had lost him, so they radioed the higher command and said we don't know where he went, he went out on patrol and we didn't hear anything and now. He left and then a bunch of reinforcements came to the island to search on foot with the other four soldiers as well as planes and helicopters and for two days they searched the entire island for Bud and couldn't find him or you.

I have to remember that there are very few

places

on the island that you can go that they can't look at you and see you, so everyone started thinking that he must have jumped in the water or fallen in the water because there is nowhere for Le He hid on the island and after a couple of days they were so sure he couldn't possibly be on the island that they called off the search and said he must have fallen into the water after 40 years. Until 1988, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was studying birds on Boulder Island and they made this surprising discovery: This team had set up camp 1,600 feet up on a large mountain on the other side of the island. , basically at the opposite extreme. of the island from the weather station and one of the crew members just walked around one of the rocks and they looked down and there was a small crack between the rock and the ground and he thought he saw something inside it and he crouched down and He looked and realized that there was a skeleton that had been crammed into this small, narrow space and the skeleton had a military uniform that was kind of balled up, but there was a uniform on what was left of the skeleton and there was also a rifle. that he had been stuck there and would turn out to be Bud Houston, so why did Bud say he was going to go out and do that patrol which really just meant walking around the vicinity of the weather station you're certainly not traveling very far why he said he was going to do that and then walk four and a half miles to the other end of the island and then climb 1500 feet to the top of this mountain but even if you had a reason to be there, why would you force yourself into this little crevice?

If he was seeking shelter, the climate was incredibly mild, it wouldn't have been life-threatening to be out in the open, at least not like this. first night or even the second night and you know the island like the back of your hand, you probably had a little more time, you probably could have found a better place to take shelter than this horrible crevice, but if you were in a place where you were looking for shelter under these rocks instead of just going back to the weather station and finding actual shelter, then he had to have been in an emergency situation, that's the only way that makes sense, but if he was in an emergency situation, he would know that Your responsibility It's not just to survive, it's also to be found again and to make sure you're not hiding under a rock so no one can find you.

This island was like the easiest place to find yourself, there are no trees, there were helicopters flying over and planes and there are all these people, it's a small space, all I had to do was not be under the rock 24/7 weekdays. Maybe during the day, when the weather improves, come out from under the rock and let yourself be found, but that's not what happened, what probably happened was. Bud somehow got stuck in that small crevice almost immediately after leaving the weather station to do that patrol, but logically speaking, he wouldn't do that to himself, so someone else had to do it, but all the other people in the island were in the climate. weather station at the time this would have been happening so it really makes you wonder what happened when he left that weather station, who or what he saw and what they did to him, unfortunately we will probably never know so that is what will happen.
