Abstract:
What would cause a fourteen year old high school sophomore to cut classes and walk aimlessly into the dark, foreboding woods of northern Maine? Drawn by an unseen force, that’s exactly what Josh Dumont did, one Thursday afternoon in May of 1987. With search crews out looking for him, Josh continued on his journey, encountering one terrifying obstacle after another, until the purpose of his trek became painfully obvious to him. But, to a Maine state trooper, who, aided by a knowledgeable tracker named Ben Wiley, had doggedly followed the trail of the young man, the journey left many unanswered questions.
