In this episode, I go over the details of Derek Joseph Lueking's strange disappearance and the amazing effort made by his parents to find him. He was last seen at the Microtel Inn and Suites in Cherokee, NC on March 17, 2012. His vehicle was found at the Newfound Gap parking lot on the border of Tennessee and North Carolina.
If you have any information about him please contact the National Park Service at 828-497-1940.
