What does a trained tracker see that the rest of us might walk right past?

In this episode of Tragedy: A True Crime Podcast, we sit down with Mark Culp, an experienced Man Tracker with Search and Rescue, to talk about the skills, knowledge, and years of experience that go into searching for a missing person.

Mark shares his background and explains what a tracker is actually looking for once a search begins, from subtle changes in the environment to the small signs that can help determine where someone may have traveled. He also walks us through how ordinary people can begin thinking like a tracker, learning to pay attention to details that are easy to overlook.

But this conversation goes beyond tracking techniques. Mark offers an important perspective on the men and women who volunteer their time to Search and Rescue, the people who step forward to lead these difficult searches, and what they want missing persons and their families to understand about the search process.

For families searching for answers, volunteers wanting to help, or anyone interested in how experienced trackers approach a missing-person search, this conversation provides a fascinating look at the people, skills, and decisions behind Search and Rescue.
