- [Daniel Prince] In July of 2017,
avid outdoorsman Gary Hinge vanished
into the high desert of Northeastern Nevada.
- Storms coming in. I gotta make this quick.
[suspenseful music] [dogs barking]
- [Daniel Prince] His disappearance became a bombshell
that would shed light on a much larger mystery.
Gary vanished while returning to the desert
to document a mysterious structure
that he found on a previous expedition.
- [Beverly Hinge] He said that the longer he stood
and looked at it, the more spooked that he got,
the feeling of dread, the sixth sense
that he needed to get out of there.
[suspenseful music]
- [Daniel Prince] Since then,
we've started connecting events
that we believe may hold the clues to this puzzle.
[suspenseful music]
The mysterious death of a woman named Minerva Sound.
[suspenseful music]
And the disappearance of Ameliana Brasher.
[suspenseful music]
- [Daniel Prince] In the time
since we first shared Gary's story,
countless people have come from all over the world
to search for the elusive cabin seen in his final video.
So far, none of them have turned up anything useful.
Until a man named Oscar Mendoza came armed with a theory
that no one else had proposed.
Gary had secrets.
[suspenseful music]
[thunder rumbling] [suspenseful music]
[suspenseful music continues]
- Oscar began his journey on his own social media.
[car creaking]
[air whooshing]
He left Mexico and arrived in Nevada June 1st, 2022.
And he went there to do what we all have been trying to do,
and that's find answers.
Once he arrived in Northeastern Nevada,
he checked into the Rush Canyon Motel
where he basically treated it as his home base.
He would recharge batteries. He would shower.
He would dump his footage.
Four weeks later, he vanished.
[fire whooshing]
[suspenseful music]
Him making this trip at this specific time
was not a coincidence.
[suspenseful music]
A fire was raging on the western part of the state.
So every available state employee,
county employee went over to try and help battle this fire.
Most of them, however, were on fire watch
to make sure that the fire didn't spread
to the eastern part of the state.
[suspenseful music]
Oscar saw this as the perfect opportunity
to be able to come and explore what happened to Gary,
because the rangers wouldn't be there to stand in his way.
You know, this little community was so sick
and tired of YouTubers and influencers
coming and invading their space.
And now, that everybody was off,
you know, fighting this fire that was happening,
he just jumped at the chance.
[suspenseful music]
It was a summer of the most bizarre weather
because of these fires that were occurring
on the western part of the state.
Even though they were hundreds of miles away,
they would sometimes create this like unworldly haze.
[suspenseful music]
And then other days, it would be blue skies
but incredibly windy.
[suspenseful music]
It was the perfect storm
and the perfect formula for fires,
which is why everyone was so concerned
and on fire watch.
[horn blaring] [suspenseful music]
Oscar claimed that he had insider information.
And so after a bit of digging, we discovered
that he has a cousin who lives right there in Eagle County.
- Oscar had come by a couple times in the past.
I wasn't able to spend time with him,
but he went out and he made a couple friends
with the locals so.
Oscar met [beep].
He used to work, you know, for the police.
And when they were talking,
that's how he found out about Gary and the two ladies.
[suspenseful music]
He became obsessed with it.
- Because of this insider friendship,
he learned that law enforcement
and professional hunting guides
now believed that Gary went missing
in a place called Copper Creek Range.
[gentle music]
This is what we thought his secret information
may have been.
[suspenseful music]
- We had a contingency.
It was, the plan was really for him
to check in with me every day
through a satellite phone that we had.
- The day that Oscar went missing,
his plan was to camp at the top of this mountain
that the locals call Spook Mountain.
He was just supposed to camp there one night,
and then he was gonna go back into town,
visit with his cousin Manny for a few days
before heading back to Mexico.
- When I first knew something was wrong,
it was, you know, when he had called me the day before
and let me know that he had gone into his camp,
he was supposed to check in with me the next day,
but he, he didn't.
[horn blaring] [suspenseful music]
I tried reaching him multiple times.
He didn't respond.
I knew right where to go because of the satellite phone.
[brooding music]
- Manny arrives and there is no sign of Oscar.
And not just Oscar,
I mean there's no sign that Oscar even camped.
There's no tent. There's no camping gear.
There's nothing.
It's as if Oscar never even arrived.
[steps crunching]
- His phone says he's right here.
I looked and...
[steps crunching]
There was a phone, satellite phone
with the bright green tag on it.
[steps crunching]
The phone was buried.
- Manny was very reluctant to call the police
because so many people, as we know, have come to this town,
you know, wanting to figure out what happened to Gary,
and then they end up needing rescuing themselves.
And this is basically just the last thing
that this town needs right now.
[suspenseful music]
- So, I left and went directly to his motel.
[suspenseful music]
You know, my truck isn't there.
And so, I went to the front desk
and asked the lady if I could go check his room.
She looked up at me
with this weird look on her face.
She said,
"Honey, he checked out a week ago."
[brooding music]
I was, I was stunned.
What the hell is going on here?
And then I was pissed.
You know, he had my truck. We had a deal.
- This is when Manny goes to the police
and the police refuse to do anything,
because Oscar willingly checked out of his hotel.
I mean, he's a grown man and he can do what he wants.
This is when he turns
to a well-known private investigator in the area,
who you might remember from Gary's story.
- I wanted to figure out what would be the one thing
that Oscar would keep from his cousin and why.
- As this was all unfolding,
we find out that Oscar tried to reach out
and visit Beverly Hinge.
Now, for those of you who don't know,
Beverly Hinge is Gary Hinge's sister.
And Gary Hinge is the reason
we're all discussing this story.
I mean, he's the reason this all started.
And Beverly was in no shape to be meeting with anyone.
- Since Gary's disappearance,
Beverly has been getting messages
from people all over the world
telling her they know where Gary's remains are.
I keep telling her, "These people don't know.
They're strangers."
[suspenseful music]
There's one person
that has been relentlessly messaging her
over and over.
The cops can't figure out who it is.
I don't know who it is, but they are relentless.
And
Beverly went out looking for her brother
in the high desert.
[suspenseful music]
She got lost herself
and by the time she was rescued, she was dehydrated.
She has been suffering from multiple organ failures,
and she had to be hospitalized.
- What Beverly endured
after the disappearance of her brother,
no one should ever have to go through.
- After we did the first interview,
I thought people would call in
and offer information, tips,
anything that would help with this going on with Gary.
I was shocked, horrified
when people started
giving me backlash and blaming me
and, and just the, the bullying it,
I just never dreamed that would happen.
And you know, Gary being such a, [sniffs]
a soft soul having to go through all that.
[suspenseful music]
- [Daniel Prince] If you could say something to the people
that put you in this position,
what would you say to them?
- That-
- [Daniel Prince] Why don't you look right into this
camera. - Okay.
- [Daniel Prince] And tell, speak directly to them.
- Those who
have social media,
a lot of them, it's their only company.
And please, please have a heart
and think about what you're saying to them.
You don't know what frame of mind they're in.
[gentle music]
[Beverly Hinge sighing] [gentle music]
- To not be provoked.
[gentle music]
It broke me then.
It, it broke me then.
I mean, it crippled me.
[gentle music]
Um, but I'm okay.
[gentle music]
- Beverly has been called every name in the book
by complete strangers from all over the world,
and these people don't even know her.
[suspenseful music]
As somebody who's gotten to know her over the years,
I can tell you that she loved her brother
and she would've done anything, anything
to move mountains for him.
- Right away, Bill and Manny both decide
to post Oscar's photo on social media,
different Facebook groups, et cetera,
because it is the quickest way, you know,
to get the word out that someone is missing.
And immediately, they hear from Dolly Broadbent,
who we interviewed for the Minerva story.
That day, I had to go grocery shopping
and just as I was coming up to the gates,
that's when I met Oscar.
He had been emailing me, you know,
but I really didn't take it serious that he was gonna come.
So, I just kind of ignored him.
He was really determined
to come see Majesty Ranch.
I had to lie to him
and tell him I was going to Salt Lake City.
- Oscar got in contact with Dolly
through different online forums, basically.
After he learned about Gary's disappearance
and became just obsessed with the story.
He joined all these different groups and different forums.
And in one of them, Dolly posted a bunch
and she posted a lot of different stories
that took place on her property, Majesty Ranch.
- When I was growing up,
I knew there was something going on.
[suspenseful music]
And my parents did a really, really good job
in sheltering my sister and I.
But there were some things
that they just couldn't hide from us.
[suspenseful music] [thunder rumbling]
A lot of times before anything would happen,
we would hear the sound
and it was like a tink, tink, tink.
And we couldn't tell where it was coming from.
You know, one minute, it would sound like it was coming from
over there or over there.
But then when my parents and my uncle heard,
my dad and my uncle came
and rushed my sister and I in the house.
And they told us to stay in the room and lock the door
and we wouldn't be able to come out until the next day.
[suspenseful music] [thunder rumbling]
The one thing that to this day that really frightens me
is my sister and I were woken up
to the sound outside of our window.
It sounded like crying, but it was a man's voice
and it was deep and agonizing.
We ran to my parent's room
and my dad went running outside with his shotgun.
[suspenseful music]
When he came in, we could tell he had seen something.
We were homeschooled,
but when we'd go into town,
we could just tell what people were thinking of us.
My dad was really affected by all this, you know,
and by the way, we all got treated
and nobody believed him or believed us.
And so, he started documenting things.
He had a box
and it was full of everything that he had collected.
So, the box came up missing
and he used to hide it in the barn,
and the county officials came to do an inspection.
He was convinced that the county officials had stolen it
during the inspection.
- In Eagle County,
they really depend on tourists
and outdoor activities, hunting, fishing.
So I don't think they really wanna advertise
that people are disappearing out here.
[suspenseful music]
- [Gal Roberts] Not long after Dolly called to inform them
that Oscar had shown up at her ranch,
they received a very interesting phone call
from a man named Jonathon Monast.
- Jonathon called because he wanted to tell me
that he had encountered something out in the desert.
He didn't know if it was Oscar,
but he thought it was important.
I thought he was telling the truth, definitely.
And he was definitely spooked.
[crickets chirping]
- I like riding out there. It's a nice quiet area.
[engine rumbling] [air whooshing]
It's just a, I guess better word,
desolate area to ride.
[motor engine revving] [suspenseful music]
I went out that far that night
because I needed to clear my head
and really, there's no better way than me and my bike.
[engine rumbling] [air whooshing]
So, I was going slower than normal
because the road work, you know.
I saw a couple of signs coming up.
And then as I came on it, you know, the road was all dug out
and it was just loose gravel patches dropped down.
[engine rumbling] [air whooshing]
Almost laid the bike down.
I got through there.
Just kept going slow,
didn't know if there was gonna be more road work coming.
[engine rumbling] [air whooshing]
At the end of the road work,
right after I had just gotten past it,
I went to go open the bike back up and pick my speed way up
and that's, that's when I saw it.
[engine rumbling] [air whooshing]
It looked like there was a man,
like a crumpled up man, on the side of the road.
And, you know, they were, it was moving around.
My first thought in passing it
was that there must be an accident or something.
But then, I, I quickly realized that there wasn't any cars,
there was nothing.
So, I thought maybe it was another motorcyclist
that, you know, his bike had gone possibly off the road
into the ditch, didn't really know exactly
what to think about it.
[engine rumbling] [air whooshing]
My headlights are lighting up the area.
He was gone.
[brooding music]
[engine rumbling] [air whooshing]
[steps crunching]
And I start hearing what sounds like footsteps.
[steps crunching] [crickets chirping]
- Hello.
[steps crunching] [crickets chirping]
Anyone out there?
[crickets chirping]
[steps crunching] [crickets chirping continues]
I called out a few times trying to get anyone's attention.
[crickets chirping]
- [Speaker] Hello.
[crickets chirping]
At that point, I decided to start walking up the hill.
'cause I was thinking maybe they've got a concussion
or, you know, something else is wrong.
[crickets chirping]
I look up the hill a little ways,
kind of in that direction,
and there's just this massive cave on the side of the hill.
[steps crunching] [crickets chirping]
[owl howling] [crickets chirping continues]
[steps crunching] [crickets chirping continues]
That's when I saw him again.
[brooding music]
And as he went into the cave,
it, there's, I can't really describe it,
but there was just something really, really off about him.
[brooding music]
It definitely creeped me out, everything about it.
But I always carry a gun with me
and so, I went to go check it out still,
just in case it was someone that needed help.
[suspenseful music] [crickets chirping]
Hello?
[suspenseful music] [crickets chirping]
[suspenseful music continues] [steps crunching]
[suspenseful music continues] [crickets chirping]
[suspenseful music continues] [steps crunching]
[suspenseful music continues] [crickets chirping]
You know, from the road, it looked like a pretty big cave,
but when you get up to it, it's actually really shallow
and, you know, I could see the whole thing, all of it.
There's nowhere he could have gone.
[suspenseful music continues] [crickets chirping]
[suspenseful music continues]
[gentle music]
- Oscar was raised by our grandparents
and, you know,
my grandpa was his hero.
Our grandpa's death, you know, pushed him over.
[gentle music]
He was already struggling.
And then, you know, that seemed to snap something.
Oscar's dad was never really in the picture.
And, you know, my aunt,
she was a very troubled person.
It took its toll on him.
- This trip meant a lot more to Oscar
than just figuring out what had happened to Gary.
This trip started
because Oscar wanted to leave a life behind,
and that life was basically a 10-year battle
with depression and alcoholism.
And he just wanted to start new, fresh.
I mean, he dyed his hair.
This was a whole new beginning for him.
- I was scared that he had done something to himself.
[suspenseful music]
- First break was the cops put out an APB
and it worked.
They found Oscar's truck on a dirt road,
outside of Copper flat.
[suspenseful music]
- Copper Flat is a small, unincorporated town,
which is about a hundred miles northeast of Cypress,
which is where he was originally staying.
- He had rented a room there.
- I was sick to my stomach
when Bill was opening the door.
I was afraid what we were going to find in there.
- It looked like he had just dropped off his stuff
because his bed looked like it hadn't been slept in
and he left his computer, his journals,
and his hard drives.
- [Videographer] So beautiful out here,
but also what is out here?
[air whooshing]
- In these early videos, we see Oscar
and he is just bursting at the seams with excitement.
I mean, he is over the moon
to be able to be here in Nevada doing his own investigation
and you can clearly see that.
- Here's the proof, I'm here.
Let's see what I find.
[water glugging] [steps crunching]
It's beautiful.
- Manny and I start going through Oscar stuff,
just trying to find anything that we can
to help us figure out where he is.
- I didn't wanna read his private stuff,
but if you know,
it was gonna help find him then.
- Manny didn't share any intimate details
of Oscar's journal.
He only shared, you know, the important stuff
to help the investigation along.
But he did share one entry that I found really,
it was really, it was really touching.
"What I'm doing out here might not be the safest thing
I've ever done, but for the first time in a very long time,
I remember what it feels like to live outside of the space
in my head.
This journey has saved me from being too far gone."
[suspenseful music] [train chugging]
- Here she is, Number 81.
Yeah.
Wo!
Yeah, baby.
[train whistles]
Yeah.
[train whistles] [train chugging]
Yeah.
[Manny Martinez laughing]
- It was a huge relief to see him have fun.
- Ooh, it's like a musical instrument.
[footsteps thumping]
Hey.
- I thought, "Okay, he's gonna be okay."
- His first few days,
he just wanted to be in Gary's shoes.
[Oscar breathing deeply] [air whooshing]
[Oscar speaks in foreign language]
- Okay, nobody warned me
about how cold it gets in the high desert,
like it's pretty cold up here.
But anyway, I, I don't care
because so I was trying to find one place that Gary was at
and I found another.
[air whooshing]
This is just crazy.
Like I, again, like so thankful to the people at Cypress,
to everybody that pointed me in the right direction,
and I,
I just feel like I'm really onto something here.
- Then, he camped in the Copper Creek Range area
for a few days.
[engine rumbling]
[crickets chirping]
- So, the structure right here
used to actually be a bank back in 1872,
and it burned down in the crazy fire.
No, I'm just fucking with you guys. I just made that up.
I, I don't know, but looks like it'd be a safe thing.
I don't know what it is.
[crickets chirping] [steps crunching]
The problem with finding the same cabin as Gary
is that there's still so many of these structures
from the Gold Rush days,
and they're scary as fuck, I'm not gonna lie.
- They always say that you have to hit rock bottom
before you ask for help,
and Oscar definitely hit rock bottom.
He was in the hospital twice.
One of those times, he almost died.
And that was the catalyst that pushed him forward
to crawling out of this hole of darkness that he was in.
And really overcoming the stigma
that, you know, men and mental health
and men can't ask for help and change.
And Oscar wanted to change.
[suspenseful music]
- Sheesh, still got it.
It's been a while since I lit a fire.
My grandfather was the first man
that taught me how to light one,
so shout out,
shout out to you, grandpa.
Anyway, I know I don't have that many followers out there,
and honestly, I'm not doing this for followers.
Without getting too much into it,
the past 10 years have been fucking rough, man.
Honestly, just a lot of pain, a lot of struggle.
And I don't know, when I heard Gary's story
and everything that's going on out here, I was just like,
man, it just ignited my curiosity in the world again.
You know what I mean?
Like, I was just like, I felt fucking alive
and it just, I knew
I had to come chase this, you know?
Honestly, I wanna find the cabin,
but even if I don't, I just wanna find some sort of answers,
like something, just anything.
It, it's just, you know,
I was drowning my feelings so much
that I just was so numb to everything.
Such a dark place, like honestly, I don't think anything
could fucking scare me anymore.
And maybe that's why you guys are asking,
"Why is this fool doing this at night?
Like, why is he out here right now?"
Because I am not about to be asleep in a tent
while, you know, who knows what could be going on out here.
So, I'm staying awake.
I'm up ready for any challenge that comes my way.
And I'm just realizing
that chasing this mystery
is more exciting than anything I could ever find
in a bottle.
[gentle music]
Woo!
Hey!
[Oscar laughing]
But anyway,
I'm out here.
I'm grateful for everybody that's following my journey,
and I hope we find answers.
But in the meantime, I'm gonna be cooking a hot dog
like a true American and hopefully, I don't burn myself
or the forest doing it.
All right, catch y'all soon.
[gentle music] [steps crunching]
[suspenseful music]
- The Copper Creek Range was uneventful.
So, Oscar came up with a plan to go to the last location
where anything mysterious had happened
and that was the Reinhold Mine,
where Ameliana Brasher had disappeared.
[brooding music]
Not long after we released
our coverage of Minerva and Ameliana,
law enforcement revealed some new and disturbing details
that they had discovered in the body cam footage of the EMT
that was searching the mining camp for Ameliana.
[brooding music]
After hearing what sounded like a woman screaming for help,
he rushed into the mill.
[brooding music] [steps crunching]
That's when things took a turn.
[crickets chirping]
Everyone obviously saw the figure
at the bottom of the stairs,
but no one saw the figure standing in front of the EMT.
[crickets chirping] [suspenseful music]
[flashlight thudding]
The second that the light leaves his hands.
[crickets chirping] [suspenseful music]
You see a figure standing there.
[suspenseful music]
And then as fast as it appears,
it's gone.
[suspenseful music]
- All right, well, I've been camping out here for a week
and haven't seen anything
except for a couple of elk and some deer.
Saw those wild horses, but no mountain lions thankfully.
I've really been thinking about heading back to Mexico
and really not falling into the same,
and not falling into the same type of trap,
you know, bullshit that I was in.
And you know, I realized
that in my journey trying to find Gary,
I kind of found myself and...

- "There is a presence here.
To deny that, that would be a lie.
I can't take one step without the feeling of being watched."
[birds chirping]
- I wanna see what do these cables lead to.
See what I find.
[steps crunching] [birds chirping continues]
[blades whirring]
I fucking made it. It's crazy up here.
[birds chirping]
You could see the lower mill.
It's a cave or mine
has someone try to cover up here.
[steps crunching] [birds chirping]
[button clicking] [birds chirping]
I moved the branches.
[suspenseful music]
- Definitely gonna camp out here tonight.
I won't make it down before dark,
so I'm gonna build a big fire and we'll see what happens.
[steps crunching] [birds chirping]
[crickets chirping]
[steps crunching]
[brooding music]
[upbeat music]
- As the hours went on,
Bill and Manny were receiving phone calls and messages.
But unfortunately, these people
were just looking for information
or trying to find a way to be involved.
Manny was starting to lose hope,
but then he turned to a page in Oscar's journal.
- Manny, all of a sudden he's going through the journal
and he shoots up and he's, he turns to me and goes,
"I think I found something."
And I just say, "Well, what is it?"
And he says, "What is FP?"
[train screeching]
- "I'll never forget the first time I heard it,
my laptop disconnected from my headphones
and the sound was blaring from my speakers
or I never would've heard it."
That sound could only mean one thing,
Gary was on FP land.
[train screeching]
- This could mean
that Gary was on Freight Pacific land when he vanished.
- Yeah.
You see that shit?
I ran straight up to it's tits.
I'm getting on this motherfucker.
Yeah.
- Private Freight Pacific Land.
- Like we showed in our original coverage
of Gary's disappearance, law enforcement
then released some of his final footage.
In one of his last videos,
he addresses the camera and states
that he is a day and a half in to his hike to the structure.
This would put him far away from any town or highway
in that part of the state.
So essentially, he is already in the middle of nowhere.
In the following video,
he's walking and talking to the camera.
- [Gary Hinge] Got a whole nother mountain to climb.
We'll see what it's like on the other side.
I think I can at least get over it by night fall.
[suspenseful music]
- "It has been there all along."
- At the very end of this clip is when Oscar caught it.
- [Gary Hinge] I think I can at least get over it
by nightfall
[steps crunching]
- Right at the end of this video
in the distance, a horn sounds.
- [Oscar Mendoza] See what it's like on the other side.
Think I can at least get over it by nightfall.
[steps crunching]
[horn blares in distance]
- This makes Gary's decisions make a lot more sense.
- Police decided the best way,
or the only thing they could think of
was to maybe check his cell phone
and his cell phone pings and watch tower.
And it looked to be as he had turned his cell phone off
shortly after leaving his home.
Map Nevada, the company that Gary worked for,
supplied and tracked all of his equipment.
It's clear now why he turned everything off.
He was trespassing.
Getting back to Oscar,
his truck was found just outside of Copper Flat,
which is the last town that Freight Pacific passes through
before entering their private expansive land.
Once a train departs copper flat, it is in no man's land.
[brooding music]
- From that point, everything came together really quickly.
- "I hate lying to Manny,
but this is a last resort."
- So, we're a little bit outside of town.
This here, I don't know if many of you know,
is called a siding, S-I-D-I-N-G.
Not sighting.
We might have some sightings, but so,
because there's only one track when two trains
are coming at the same time, one pulls over to the siding
and waits for the other one to pass.
So, my plan is to wait here at night
until there's two trains passing.
There's no schedule, so it might wait for a while,
but it'll be worth it.
I'm gonna wait till there's a siding
and jump on that train, which will take me out
and deep into the desert, which I can't really get to.
- There are three things out there.
Desert.
Old mines.
And ghost towns.
[brooding music]
Most notably, the ghost town of Edna.
[brooding music]
In a joint deal, Freight Pacific and Mantis Mining Company
purchased this land in the late 1980s
and the rest of Edna became a ghost town.
So then, the question became,
if Gary was this far into his hike
then he was well outside of any town or highway
where a train would need to sound its horn.
So, why are we hearing a train horn?
[suspenseful music]
- As all these pieces are coming together,
I get a phone call from the police and they tell me,
"An FP engineer has discovered a body
on the side of the tracks."
[brooding music]
- They used the word body.
[brooding music]
- And it matches Oscar's description.
[brooding music]
[steps crunching]
- [Oscar Mendoza] Fuck yeah, it actually came.
It's about one in the morning now.
I'm fucking nervous,
but this is my only way to get there.
I gotta be strategic. I can't be caught up here.
All right, this looks like a good car here.
[air whooshing] [Oscar grunting]
Holy shit, okay.
I can't get caught up here.
Looks like the coast is clear.
[train chugging]
- "I explore at night and sleep during most of the day.
I figure it's the only way I have a chance
of catching a glimpse behind the veil."
[train chugging]
"Obviously, whatever's happening out here
is not confined to FP land.
Minerva and Ameliana on Highway 50 prove that,
But I believe it would be a great place to start.
[train chugging]
"This is where Gary may have found the cabin."
[brooding music]
"This is where Gary may have given up the ghost.
[train chugging] [brooding music]
"I have to find Edna.
I think I know what to do."

Ahh.
[Oscar breathing heavily] [brooding music]
- [Gal Roberts] Oscar was found
lying on Freight Pacific Land, clinging to life.
He was flown to Memorial Hospital in Las Vegas.
- When I saw him before he went to Mexico, it was crazy.
It was almost like if he was a different person.
He was paranoid and very jumpy.
It honestly made me really nervous.
You could see the fear on his face.
- At the end of the day, Oscar came here as a vlogger,
an influencer.
You know, he came to Nevada
because he wanted a big discovery.
He wanted this big reveal about what happened to Gary.
You know, is his footage real or is it a hoax?
I mean, is it all staged?
The one thing that stands out is that Gary is gone
and Minerva is gone.
Ameliana, she's gone.
But Oscar, he was found.
He's here.
Do I believe him?
You know, I, I feel that he's authentic,
but I think that's what we are left with.
I think that's what we have to decide.
When we reached out to Oscar for an interview,
he said he wasn't ready,
but he gave us permission to use his footage
and some of his journal entries.
He also sent me this message.
Just read it?
Okay.
"I'm not ready to talk about this yet.
I may be some time in the future,
but I will tell you this,
no one there is safe.
Not outside, not inside.
They don't always look like people."
