Left Glove on the Logbook: The Fire Lookout Who Vanished Four Days

A woman’s handwriting stops at 10:00 PM and a stove burns dry while a left leather glove with a name stenciled on it lies across the open logbook - the name belongs to a man dead seventy-nine years. Smoke seen at 6:43 AM, no footprints on the trail, and a different propane canister added to the stove - what happened to Darlene Turner in those seventy-two hours?

In this episode, we lay out the timeline, the scene at the Graden Peak lookout, and the inconsistencies found by deputies and Forest Service personnel, ending on the same unanswered question that sent out the volunteer search teams: where did she go?

Person: Darlene Turner Turner
Date: September 13-14, 2011
Location: Graden Peak lookout, Garfield County
Status: Missing for three days during search
Supervisor: Phil Engel

- Turner had been the Graden Peak warden for eleven seasons and had logged rotations since 2001.
- Last logbook entry was dated September 13, 2011 at 10:00 PM with wind SW ~12 mph gusting to 18.
- A fisherman, Troy Phillips, called 9-1-1 at 6:43 AM on September 14 after seeing thin pale smoke on the slope.
- The pot on the stove was cooked dry and aluminum scorched; stove burner was set to high.
- The propane canister found was a ten-ounce travel unit nearly full, not the one-pound canister Turner had logged on August 30.
