The Upright Boot: How a Mountain Vanished a Geology Student
-

Di:
A single boot stood upright, laces tied, clean and leaning against a utility pole at 9,400 feet - three and a half miles from where a 22-year-old geology student vanished from a granite ledge at 10,900 feet. How did one boot, one sock liner, and no body end up posed like a display item so far from the last known location, and who can explain the gaps the evidence refuses to fill?
In this episode, we tell the sequence of physical facts left behind after Gordon Graham disappeared during a research expedition and trace the terrain, timing, and items investigators used to reconstruct the last hours. What do his field notes, missing crampons, and the upright boot reveal about what really happened?
