Shoshone National Forest

If you drew a line from any road or airstrip, it is the farthest away from any of them that you can get.

And it's in the northwest corner of Wyoming, so right, um, at the confluence of the Bridger-Teton and Shoshone National Forests and Yellowstone National Park.

So there's a chunk of the Thoroughfare that's in Yellowstone, and then there's a whole bunch of it that's in national forest slash, you know, wilderness areas.

And largely the Yellowstone River kind of flows, cuts through it, and then flows into Yellowstone, into Yellowstone Lake.

Billy Humphrey did not go back to this location for over a month, still disheveled from his experience, and when he did, he found his tree blind that had been nine feet above the ground, tattered and torn to pieces.

Next we have the Shoshone National Forest, Wyoming, 1972.

While at Wild River Range in the Shoshone National Forest, fishing game biologist John Majanzenki, who works for the state, happened upon a very intense Bigfoot encounter.

While his first thoughts was that of a bear that came upon his campsite to investigate all the freshly cooked food, which emitted an intense aroma in the fresh Shoshone air, John had been tucked away in his tent after a fine evening of eating some bacon, beans, and a fresh half-pot of coffee.

The time had gotten away from John as he was poised for a good night's sleep with the next day's planned event of getting up early and trying to snag a few trout from the crystal clear river that ran through the range.

That tall, upright figure indeed was tossing out pine cones in his direction.

Having had enough, John slowly started to walk down the trail and away from what he today believes was a Bigfoot.

John did report this to the local DNR in the area and was pleased to find out that this was not the first type of strange activity to be reported in the Shoshone National Forest.

the Shoshone National Forest.

Um, this is a thing that I, I don't know if they still do this, but they used to hire temp fire lookouts.

Mm-hmm.

Dale was arrested for the kidnapping, but escaped.

He'd been discovered in Shoshone National Forest, and because he'd been in possession of a weapon, it became a federal crime.

Because he was sent to federal prison, it was mandatory for Dale to submit a DNA sample, which thankfully was in the database a few years later.

matching to the DNA profile from Lisa's rape kit.

Yeah.

So Amy Bechtel's car, Stephanie Tinsley's telling us, was found on a trail in Shoshone National Forest.

I apologize if I said that wrong.

Amy and Steve moved there for rock climbing and trails, and a lot of people in their neighborhood were climbers, and they, like, rented a little bungalow in, like-

No Molly's pack wolf was killed.

Hunters reached the four-wolf quota in the Shoshone National Forest in just five days, so that should show you relative high success rate and the relative ease of bagging your wolf.

So it tells me we got a lot of wolves, and these wolves don't know hunting.

They don't know fear of man.
