clue
Lead #3Connie was wearing Kenetrek hiking boots and possibly old Forest Service clothing—did she have wilderness survival experience that might explain her disappearance?
Connie Marie Johnson, a 76-year-old cook at a remote hunting camp near Big Fog Mountain in Idaho, disappeared between October 1-5, 2018, along with her black and white border collie named Ace. Her last confirmed contact was a radio transmission on October 3 that was unreadable, and she vanished before the outfitter returned to camp on October 5. Despite extensive air and ground search efforts, neither Connie nor Ace have been found, leaving questions about whether she became lost, injured, or encountered another circumstance in the remote wilderness.
