The “Missing 411” book series is a collection of non-fiction books written by David Paulides, a former police officer and investigator, which chronicles cases of people who have disappeared under mysterious circumstances in national parks and wilderness areas in North America and other parts of the world.
The books cover cases of missing people of all ages, including children, adults, and the elderly, who have vanished without a trace, often in the presence of friends and family or in well-traveled areas. The books document the cases and the unusual circumstances surrounding the disappearances, including unusual weather patterns, unexplained animal behavior, and other bizarre phenomena.
Most people if they love one book they dive into the series, but if you’re wondering if you need to read them in order, you don’t. Each book can be read on its own.
