Anna "Annie" Schmidt, Disappeared October 16, 2016, Tooth Rock trail, Munra Point, NEAR Bonneville Dam, Oregon
Sometimes things just go wrong when venturing into the outdoors. Search and rescue teams try their best, but often need to give up within a few days, because of weather or resources. It can be up to amateur volunteers to help track down these missing people or bring the bodies home for grieving relatives. Like the story of the discovery in 2009 of the remains of the German Tourists in Death Valley by Tom Mahood after months of searching in the desert in his own time. The family originally went missing in 1996.

Here is another amazing story of a lady called Lydia McGranahan who wouldn't give up searching for a fellow hiker in Oregon despite the slim chances of success. The disappearance and death of Anna Schmidt came up on the radar after researching the story of Alissa McCrann who disappeared in the nearby Multnomah Falls area in Oregon in December 2015.
