Wikimedia CommonsOne of the last photos ever taken of Carl McCunn.In 1981, wildlife photographer Carl McCunn embarked on a months-long journey into the Alaskan wilderness. But McCunn never returned home.He had made only vague plans about his return journey, and there was significant confusion about when and where McCunn was supposed to be retrieved, and by who. In the end, no one came for him. McCunn spent his final months in the wilderness, trying to survive and hoping to be rescued. Almost a year after McCunn began his trip, state troopers found his body, alongside increasingly desperate journal entries hed kept during his time in the wilderness. He had died alone, at the age of 35, after deciding to die by suicide instead of starving to death. This is the story of Carl McCunn and his tragic demise in the wild. A Fateful Voyage To AlaskaWikimedia CommonsBefore his 1981 trip, Carl McCunn had spent five months in the Brooks Range in 1976.Carl McCunn was born on January 25, 1947 in Munich, where his father was serving in the U.S. Navy. However, he spent most of his childhood in San Antonio, Texas. After high school, McCunn attended college for a semester before he followed in his fathers footsteps and enlisted in the U.S. Navy. After his four-year tour, McCunn worked on a ferry that traveled between Seattle, Washington, and Alaska, and settled in Alaska around 1970. As such, he was no stranger to the Alaskan wilderness. In 1976 he spent five months in the Brooks Range, a vast, desolate region in the north part of the state. Five years later, McCunn was looking to delve into nature again, and this time he hoped to take photos of wildlife in the region. So, in March 1981, as winter ceded into spring, he hired a bush pilot to drop him off about 225 miles northeast of Fairbanks along the southern edge of the Brooks Range. McCunn brought with him 500 rolls of film, 1,400 pounds of food, two rifles, and one shotgun. According to The New York Times, McCunn was planning to stay in the wilderness until about mid-August. Carl McCunn seemingly believed he had made plans to be picked up by a friend of his in August, but apparently he never confirmed these plans. He didnt realize it, but he was beginning his multi-month stay in the Alaskan wilderness with no guaranteed method of getting out. Maybe thats why he disposed of five boxes of shotgun shells into the river, believing they werent necessary for his five month trip. He began to occupy himself with the purpose of his expedition instead: photography. How Carl McCunn Tried To Survive In The WildernessWikimedia CommonsThe location of Carl McCunns campsite.Though the first few months of Carl McCunns trip seemed to go well, he began to worry by August. His supplies, including his provisions, were running low. And McCunn had counted on his friends arrival, but the friend had never arrived. I think I should have used more foresight about arranging my departure, McCunn wrote in his journal in early August, one of the last entries with a date. Ill soon find out.Uncertain when or if his friend would arrive, McCunn relied on his survival instincts. He still had bullets left, and he used some to shoot ducks and muskrats to eat. One day, he got lucky when a caribou died in a nearby lake, and McCunn was able to dry its meat. All the while, he wondered if his friends and family would send someone to look for him. Certainly someone in town should have figured something must be wrong me not being back by now, McCunn wrote. What in the hell do those people think [I] gave them maps [of my camp location] for? Decoration?Wikimedia CommonsThe bluffs near Carl McCunns campsite.Back in civilization, his friends were indeed worried about him. That summer, they even asked state troopers if they could send someone to fly over McCunns campsite and check in on him. In response, Trooper David Hamilton flew over Mr. McCunns camp and even spotted Carl McCunn in the wilds below. But Hamilton later testified that he saw McCunn waving a red bag (McCunns sleeping bag cover) in a manner Hamilton described as casual.On the third pass he turned and walked back toward the tent, slowly, casually, Hamilton recalled. We surmised there was no immediate danger or need for emergency aid.McCunns journal revealed the opposite. He was excited to see the plane above him, hoping help had finally arrived. He even tried to signal the aircraft for help. But when the plane left, and McCunn consulted the distress signals printed on the back of his hunting license, he realized that he had made a terrible mistake and used the wrong signal. I recall raising my right hand, shoulder high and shaking my fist on the planes second pass. It was a little cheer like when your team scored a touchdown or something, McCunn wrote in frustration. Turns out thats the signal for ALL O.K. DO NOT WAIT! Man, I cant believe it!Over the next several months, the plane did not return. The Death Of Carl McCunnWikimedia CommonsThe Brooks Range mountains in Alaska.As summer faded into autumn, the Alaskan wilderness began to get a lot colder. The lake began to freeze over, and McCunn had to compete with wolves and other predators while hunting rabbits. Its been a terrible day for me and I wont go into it, McCunn wrote sometime in October. Hands getting more frostbitten every day. Have only one meal of beans left. Honestly, Im scared for my life. But I wont give up.By November, McCunn was out of food. He was experiencing dizzy spells and the extreme cold was causing constant chills. Though hed resisted the idea of suicide, he began to see it as the only option. Dear God in Heaven, please forgive me my weakness and my sins, McCunn wrote. Please look over my family.He instructed whoever found his body to deliver his belongings to his father. His final entry reads, in part: Am burning the last of my emergency Coleman light and just fed the fire the last of my split wood. When the ashes cool, Ill be cooling along with them I (chickened) out once already, but I dont wanna go through the chills again. They say it doesnt hurtIn December 1981, McCunn shot himself in the head. He had stuck his drivers license to the note, in the hopes it would help officials identify him.But it took months for anyone to find his body. It wasnt until January prompted again by McCunns friends that state troops went to investigate. After flying over his campsite on January 26, 1982, state troopers could see no signs of life at the camp in the freezing cold 46 F weather. In early February, a plane landed at the campsite, and troopers discovered McCunns body inside his tent, frozen alongside his journal. In the end, Carl McCunns family hopes that his story can be a warning for others. If anything comes of his death, it will be to caution other people not to get in the same circumstances, Donovan McCunn, McCunns father told The San Antonio Light. If only we can keep one person from going through what that kid went through.After reading about the tragic death of Carl McCunn, discover the story of Chris McCandless, the man whose death in the Alaskan wilderness served as the basis for the film Into The Wild.

Quebec City Police ServiceTheories about Marilyn Bergerons disappearance range from suicide or foul play to her voluntarily starting a new life. On Feb. 17, 2008, Marilyn Bergeron told her parents she was going out for a walk. Almost two decades later, she still hasnt returned.Bergeron, who was 24 at the time of her disappearance, had recently moved back into her parents home in Quebec City, Canada, after telling them that she no longer felt safe living alone. She would not elaborate further.Police suspect that Bergeron died by suicide, but due to her unusual behavior before she vanished, her parents think foul play was involved. Whats more, there have been multiple unconfirmed sightings of Bergeron in and around Quebec over the years, raising the possibility that she may have left of her own accord to start a new life.Whatever the case may be, the search for Marilyn Bergeron continues to this day.Marilyn Bergerons Odd Behavior Before She VanishedIn late 2007, Marilyn Bergeron was a typical 24-year-old woman. She worked as a sales assistant at a music store, lived in an apartment in Montreal, and had dreams of becoming a flight attendant. But that December, something happened that changed Bergerons cheerful and optimistic demeanor.Around Dec. 10, her friend Jonathan Gauthier met her at her apartment so they could go to a party together. However, he was shocked to find her sitting in the dark, looking extremely sad. They went out as planned, but during the party, she became anxious, as Le Journal de Montral reported in 2017. Quebec City Police ServiceMarilyn Bergeron was 24 years old when she mysteriously vanished in Quebec City.Arriving at her house, she burst into tears, Gauthier said. She was really sad and was afraid of something. She was inconsolable. She didnt want to tell me I asked her if she had witnessed a murder. She said, No, its worse. Jo, you cant even imagine what Ive been through. I tried to get her to talk for three or four hours. I felt like she didnt want to put me in danger.Bergeron also denied that shed been raped, but she otherwise refused to reveal why she was so upset. The next month, she admitted to her parents that she was afraid to live alone. Her mother questioned her, asking if she was in debt or had gotten into trouble with drugs, but Bergeron again denied both. However, when her mom asked if shed been assaulted, Bergeron started to cry.Then, on Feb. 10, 2008, Marilyn Bergeron left her Montreal apartment suddenly and moved back in with her mother and father in Quebec City. She returned to Montreal twice to pick up her belongings, but by Feb. 16, she was back at her parents house for good.The very next morning, she vanished.A Mysterious Disappearance And The Few Clues Left BehindOn the morning of Feb. 17, 2008, Marilyn Bergeron told her parents she was going for a walk. She left her ID at home, carrying only a credit card with her. Around 11 a.m., an ATM camera captured Bergeron trying to withdraw $60 in cash. As her card declined, she looked over her shoulder several times before hurrying away.Quebec City Police ServiceThe last photo of Marilyn Bergeron, taken at an ATM on the day she vanished.Then, at 4 p.m., Bergeron bought a cup of coffee at a cafe 12 miles from her parents house. That was the last confirmed sighting of Marilyn Bergeron. Her parents reported her missing that evening, but the police werent able to find a trace of her aside from the ATM footage and her credit card statement. After purchasing the coffee, Bergerons card was never used again.Despite a massive search and plenty of publicity surrounding Bergerons disappearance, nobody came forward with any tips. For nearly two years, Bergerons family and law enforcement alike assumed that the young woman was dead.Then, in 2010, one couples story gave Marilyn Bergerons loved ones a glimpse of hope.What Happened To Marilyn Bergeron?In the spring of 2010, a Quebec couple happened to see a news report about Bergerons disappearance. They were shocked to see that she looked familiar. Three months earlier, in December 2009, theyd been awakened in the middle of the night to a young woman knocking at their door. She was crying and asked if she could use their phone, so theyd let her inside. When nobody answered the call, the woman asked for directions and promptly left. The couple said the woman had looked just like Marilyn Bergeron. If she really was Bergeron, the sighting would confirm that she was still alive nearly two years after she went missing, supporting the theory that she vanished to start a new life. Bergeron FamilyWhen Marilyn Bergeron allegedly appeared on a strangers doorstep in December 2009, she had blonde hair, not brown.Over the years, various other residents have also come forward to report sightings of Bergeron. One man claimed hed seen her frequently in Ontario, where she was living with a partner. And regular customers at a restaurant in the area said theyd seen her inside at least once. However, none of these sightings were ever confirmed, and neither the police nor Bergerons family has laid eyes on her since February 2008.If she has a new life and wants to be left alone, we will respect that, Bergerons mother, Andre Bchard, said at a 2022 news conference, as reported by the CBC at the time. We may have lost her. But if we lost her we need to put an end to this nightmare.Since the beginning of Marilyns disappearance, Ive always kept the same story, Bchard told Le Journal de Montral in 2017. My daughter was scared, she experienced a tragic event, and she was unable to talk about it A terrible secret haunted her.Although its now been more than 17 years since Marilyn Bergeron disappeared, her loved ones remain hopeful that shes still out there somewhere. They believe that advancements in technology and new police techniques may bring an end to their nightmare one day soon for better or for worse.Dead or alive, said Bchard, we want to know.After reading about the disappearance of Marilyn Bergeron, discover the story of Vasile Gorgos, the man who vanished for 30 years and returned home with no memory of where hed been.
