Lost in the Woods

The Fandel Children

No signs of struggle…

In September of 1978, in the small town of Sterling, Alaska, two children went to bed in the safety of their family cabin—and by morning, they were gone.

Their disappearance triggered one of Alaska’s most haunting mysteries—sparking decades of rumors, heartache, and a desperate search that led their father into the darkest corners of the country.

Was it a stranger? Someone they knew? Or something much worse?

In this episode of They Disappeared, Pat Draven recalls the case, one that has never been solved… and may never be forgotten.
