Ep. 80 What Happened to Patrick Carnes? | The Interstate 80 Mystery

On 14 April 2011, 86 year old Patrick Carnes was driving home to Reno, Nevada after visiting family and touring retirement homes in Ohio. The following morning, his Subaru Forester was found abandoned in a remote field off Interstate 80 near Winnemucca, nearly 200 miles from where he had last been seen. Patrick and his beloved dog Lucky had vanished without a trace. Despite extensive searches, neither has ever been found and the case remains unsolved.

On the podcast, we discuss Patrick's final known movements and whether he was actually following the unidentified truck driver. We also explore the possible explanations for how Patrick's car ended up a couple of hundred miles farther than he had intended on the night he disappeared. Finally, we discuss whether there could be a connection to the 2006 disappearance of Judith Casida, whose abandoned vehicle was found at the very same Interstate 80 exit.
