185: Left Behind on San Gorgonio

In July of 1991, 12-year-old Jared Negrete set out on his first overnight backpacking trip with a group of Boy Scouts in the mountains of Southern California. But somewhere along the way, Jared became separated from the group and disappeared into the rugged wilderness surrounding San Gorgonio Mountain. What followed was an extensive search, a handful of puzzling clues, and a mystery that remains unsolved more than three decades later.
