Less a book collecting cases of the missing who have disappeared into the woods, and more a loose scattering of better-known cases shoved between chapters chronicling the story of the author joining a man's search for his missing son. There is SO MUCH MORE Bigfoot in here than I was expecting - which wasn't a non-zero amount, if you talk about people going missing in the woods, eventually someone will suggest that maybe Bigfoot did it.
- the cabin that Randy stays in is called the "Bigfoot Cabin" because it's owned by a group of people searching for Bigfoot in the Pacific Northwest
- several cases, the author floats the idea (tongue-in-cheek, mostly) that maybe Bigfoot did it
- a woman claims that she is feeding a family of Bigfoots, and they telepathically communicated to her the location of Randy's missing son
- when they go to check out said family of Bigfoots, the lady who actually owns the communal Bigfoot feeding spot goes on a rant that leads to my personal favorite quote of the book, which is, "F*ck you, Bigfoot!"
- the author calls out David Palides for claiming that he doesn't always suggest that Bigfoot did it, and his Missing 411 series should not be conflated with his Bigfoot/UFO work. Despite the fact that the entire point of his Missing 411 series is that there are a lot of people who have the same patterns when they go missing - "vanishing" off a trail, no trace of them being found, being found later in an area that was already searched, bad weather immediately following their disappearance, tracking dogs can't find a scent, etc - and that clearly, all of those cases have a common, supernatural root.
