Details:
Carl Landers of Orinda, California, disappeared on May 22, 1999, during a hiking excursion on
Mt. Shasta with friends. He was last seen leaving Camp 50-50, where he and two climbing
partners spent the night before their planned climb to the summit. The next morning Carl
complained of feeling poorly and left ahead of his partners. When his partners didn't catch up
with him they became worried and reported him missing.
Carl was considered a physically fit runner and climber; he was dressed appropriately for the
elements and carried enough food and water to survive in an emergency. Despite an intensified
effort, searchers in air and on ground were unable to find any sign of him.
