One-year-old Acacia Bishop was abducted on May 25, 2003 by her grandmother, Kelley Jean Lodmell from her great-grandparents' home in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Kelley was on supervised visitation with Acaia and escaped from the house with her when Acacia's great-grandmother left the room for a moment. She had taken Acacia without permission before and hid her in a basement.

She and Acacia were last seen together in Idaho Falls, Idaho the next day close to the overpass and green belt next to the Snake River. On that same day, Kelley went to a hydroelectric plant located near the overpass, soaking wet and told employees that she dropped Acacia into the river while they were dangling their feet off the bridge.

When divers searched the river, Acacia was not in it, but a pair of baby shoes and a doll were found on the riverbank, and one of Kelley's shoes was found on the riverbank and the other shoe was in the water. Police believe that Acacia drowned in the Snake River, but they don't think she fell in accidentally.

Kelley admitted to the police that she intentionally jumped into the water with Acacia in her arms in a murder-suicide attempt. She thought that Acacia made it out of the water and is still alive somewhere. She was later charged with kidnapping and murder.

Kelley has been schizophrenia and bipolar disorder she only took her medication when she could pay for it.she wasn't taking them at the time she abducted Acacia. She also has a criminal record and a history of substance abuse. Acacia's parents said that Kelley was possessive over Acacia and believe that she lied about murdering her.

Acacia's parents claimed that Kelley sent them a letter from jail, stating that Acacia was alive and being taken care of by other people; however, the police were unable to find any evidence supporting Kelley's statement. They also think that a man may be helping Kelley hide Acaica; he was allegedly seen checking Kelley and Acaica out of the Red Lion Hotel on May 26, 2003, but the police don't think that he was involved.

Oakley Carlson was born on December 6th 2016 to Andrew Carlson and Jordan Bowers in Oakville, Washington. Carlson and Bowers relationship was tumultuous and marked by drug use, gambling and domestic violence which eventually led to the removal of Oakley and her siblings from their care in September 2017.

Oakley was quickly placed with Jamie-Jo and Erik Hiles and lived with them up until just before her third birthday. The Hiles planned to adopt Oakley and she thrived in their care, enjoying a safe and happy childhood. Oakley was smart, highly empathetic and loved people. She enjoyed telling jokes and making people laugh, often following up with “Waka Waka” like Fozzie bear from the muppets. She was also a big fan of Disney movies, books and dancing, she regularly accompanied Jamie-Jo to practice and liked to dance to the songs played and could often be found fast asleep surrounded by books.

Jamie-Jo and Erik cared deeply about Oakley’s wellbeing and repeatedly raised concerns about her safety during visits with her biological parents. After one such visit which was supervised in March 2019, Oakley returned with red marks or scratches on her face and an unchanged diaper, the supervisor could not explain how she had got the marks but Jamie-Jo was ignored when she highlighted this in a visit log to DCYF case worker Angela Fries. In September 2019, Jamie-Jo and Erik had their life turned upside down when they were informed that Oakley was going to be returned to the care of her parents in January 2020. They fought this decision continuously, expressing worries such as the unexplained scratching, how fast things were moving, Oakley having described witnessing domestic violence during a visit and neither parent having a job. All these concerns were shut down with case workers telling them that “she isn’t your daughter” being poor isn’t a reason for someone to not have their children” and “that Oakley loved her mom and dad”. November 29th 2019, Oakley was abruptly returned to the care of her parents, even earlier than previously planned. The Hiles begged DCYF not to take her and likened the experience of her being removed to that of a bereavement.the year following her return to her biological parents, the Hiles remained concerned about Oakley. In January 2021, Jamie-Jo was shown a photo originally taken on Christmas Day 2020 of Oakley where she appeared to have a black eye. She also heard rumours about Carlson being fired for drug use. When Jamie-Jo consulted with Elma police chief Susan Shultz she was advised to contact Washington DCYF and a sheriff in that jurisdictional area could be sent to Oakley’s home to conduct a wellness check. Jamie-Jo called to report what she knew and was talked to sternly by an intake worker who told her that because she hadn’t witnessed any incidents firsthand he presumed her information was incorrect, and warned her she could get in trouble for false reports, Jamie-Jo said she was a mandated reporter and very concerned about Oakley's safety. In February 2021, Washington DCYF opened a case and a caseworker was sent to check on Oakley and her siblings. However the case was closed without anyone actually seeing Oakley.

On November 6th 2021, Andrew Carlson calls dispatch just before 5pm to report a fire that had occurred around 10am that morning. He said his daughter Oakley had set fire to the couch with a cigarette lighter but that no response was needed and he had put the fire out himself. Bowers told others that Oakley had started the fire and her and Carlson fought it for hours by themselves. Throughout November 2021, local elementary school principal Jessica Swift, whose daughter was friends with Oakley’s sibling, began to get concerned about Oakley. She arrived several times at the residence to drop off supplies and each time did not manage to see Oakley. On December 4th, during a play date at her home with Oakley’s sibling, she asked where Oakley was and her sibling got very upset saying “Oakley is no more”. The following day, Swift asked the sibling again about Oakley and whether she lived with them and was told no. Swift became so concerned that on December 6th she requested a wellness check with the Grays Harbour County Sheriff’s Office.

Her parents were interviewed at the Extended Stay America in Tumwater. After being confronted Carlson leaves the hotel and reports Oakley missing at 3:31pm on Thurston County’s non-emergency line, he states that he hasn’t seen Oakley since November 30th. During his statement to law enforcement Andrew also makes comments to the effect of Oakley being dead, or not coming back or a reunion”. That evening both Carlson and Bowers are booked into jail on suspicion of first degree manslaughter. The case as it stands today.

12-year-old Boy Scout, went camping with his father, brothers, and other Boy Scouts in Utah’s Uinta Mountains in late August 2004. It was meant to be a fun trip before the start of a new school year. But what had begun as an enjoyable outing in the wilderness would unexpectedly turn to tragedy.

Garrett got up early on the morning of August 20th to go fishing with his father at one of the nearby lakes, but the boy would soon mysteriously vanish on his way back to camp. And though the search for him was initiated within just 15-20 minutes of when he was last seen, neither Garrett nor the fishing pole he’d been carrying would ever be located.

The youngest of four children, Garrett Alexander Bardsley was born on July 24th, 1992, to parents Heidi and Kevin. The family was Mormon and active in the LDS Church.

Sweet and happy, 12-year-old Garrett loved school and being a member of the Boy Scouts. Though he struggled with reading, he had a determined spirit and was intent on improving.

“Garrett was always the kid who had the most fun,” remembered his father Kevin, “he was the one that made us laugh.”

Garrett enjoyed the outdoors and camping, and had earned a merit badge for wilderness survival skills.

But his time spent out in nature wasn’t always carefree. In fact, he’d had a disturbing encounter once while in the woods:

“Garrett ran face to face into a bear, and it scared him to death,” recalled Scoutmaster Wally Trotter.

Fortunately, though, Garrett walked away from the incident unharmed.

On August 19th, 2004, Garrett and a group (which included his father Kevin, his two brothers, 18 Boy Scouts—ranging in age from 12 to 18—and 8 other fathers) reached the Cuberant Lake area of the Uinta Mountains for an end-of-summer camping trip. Wally Trotter, the scoutmaster, was unable to accompany them as he couldn’t get the time off work.

The Cuberant Lakes Trail is approximately 6.6 miles long and reaches an elevation of 1,000 feet. Aside from Cuberant Lake itself, there are several smaller lakes in the region, none of which have ever been officially named and have been assigned numbers instead.

The hike was uneventful and the group set up camp around a third of a mile away from Cuberant Lake.

The following morning, Kevin woke up his youngest son and told him to get ready to go fishing. Kevin and Garrett walked to one of the unnamed lakes with their fishing poles. It’s unclear how far away from camp they were, as sources vary—citing anything from 150-300 yards.

However, the map that law enforcement would use in their search for Garrett indicated that the father and son had been at the northern shore of the lake, placing them more than 300 yards away from the camp. The lake is situated in a basin, with a mixture of open and wooded areas around it. The basin itself is surrounded by steep terrain.

Garrett suddenly fell into the water (it’s not clear where exactly, but either in a boggy area beside the lake or in a stream next to the trail) and his pants and shoes were soaked. Because of this, he became cold and wanted to change into dry clothes and shoes.

Kevin thought this was a good idea and suggested that his son head back to camp, since that’s where his extra clothing was. He asked Garrett if he knew his way back and Garrett assured him that he did. Which made sense as the camp is said to have been a fairly straight shot away from where they were set up for fishing.

However, as Garrett started to leave, Kevin noticed that he went in the wrong direction and corrected him. Now heading the right way, the 12-year-old soon disappeared from view around 8 a.m.

After 15 minutes had passed with no sign of Garrett, Kevin wondered where he was and returned to camp—only to find out that Garrett had never arrived. They began to search for the missing Boy Scout immediately, calling out to him as they went, but neither heard nor saw him anywhere.

“We thought he’d yell, or hear us and come toward the sound,” said Alex, one of the missing boy’s friends.

But he never did.

Source: The Vanished Podcast Where is Garrett? Kevin and the others knew how crucial it was to locate Garrett before nightfall, as the temperatures would plummet then. But no trace of the 12-year-old (not even his fishing rod) turned up.

In the coming days, the Bardsley family, with the help of search and rescue team members and over 1,000 volunteers, tirelessly looked for Garrett. Searchers—on foot and horseback, utilizing helicopters and bloodhounds—discovered nothing. Divers were brought in as well, but turned up no clues in the lake.

“We don’t want to leave Garrett on this mountain,” Kevin said. “We want to bring him home.”

The only clue yielded by these extensive efforts was a single sock, but DNA testing would ultimately prove that it did not belong to Garrett.

At one point during the search, Kevin was overcome by a strange feeling.

“I remember one of the first particular times I knelt down by myself and tried to bargain with the Lord, that I’d do anything to have him back. I got an overwhelming impression that I didn’t have to worry about Garrett, that his test was done.”

Sadly, after several days had gone by, the search for Garrett became a recovery mission, as they knew that he likely couldn’t have survived this long in the wilderness, especially with the low temperatures at night. Still, no trace of him was found.

“It’s hard to remember those two weeks,” said Garrett’s sister Courtney, “because you’re just kind of in a blur and your body’s kind of numb. I thought we were going to find him.”

The loss was devastating for the entire family, but perhaps had the strongest impact on Garrett’s brother Cameron, as the two had been very close.

Kevin Bardsley | Source: Oprah.com The Garrett Bardsley Foundation “We have two lives,” stated Kevin. “We have a life before Garrett, when Garrett was here, and we have a life after Garrett.”

The family attempted to channel their grief into something positive and formed The Garrett Bardsley Foundation, whose mission is to help locate missing persons, as well as to build schools in poor nations.

Kevin would go on to join the search for another Boy Scout who had gone missing in the Uinta Mountains—11-year-old Brennan Hawkins—who would ultimately be found safe.

YouTuber The Missing Enigma visited the area in which Garrett Bardsley vanished and shared the experience with viewers. He noticed that the trail leading to the lake is narrow and poorly defined in some spots, making it easy to get off track.

What he found to be less clear, however, was how Garrett would have managed to leave the basin region—if he did—as the area within the basin was thoroughly searched and the land surrounding it is rather steep and difficult to navigate.

Perhaps Garrett sought shelter somewhere that is hidden from view and this explains why he was never discovered. As other cases have shown, it is unfortunately easy to not only get lost in the wilderness but also to never be located.

Authorities do not believe that foul play was involved. Though, interestingly, investigators reportedly spoke to an inmate in connection with Garrett’s case. Neither the name of this individual nor the content of the interview have ever been released to the public.

The prevailing theories are that he either succumbed to the elements or might have been attacked by a wild animal—although no blood or signs of a struggle were ever discovered.

The show America’s Most Wanted received a tip in 2009, from a woman who claimed to have spotted Garrett with two unidentified men in a grocery store. This sighting has never been substantiated.

In 2006, a hunter discovered a shoe while hunting near Cuberant Lake. It looked to have been there for some time and was similar in appearance to the shoes that Garrett was known to have been wearing at the time of his disappearance. Yet, upon closer examination, it became clear that the sneaker could not belong to him, as it was too large.

To this day, Garrett Bardsley has never been found and his disappearance remains a mystery.

Of the unnamed lake near which he was last seen, Wally Trotter had this to say:

“We don’t care what the rest of everybody calls it. In our mind that is Garrett’s Lake and that will always be Garrett’s Lake.”

Heidi Bardsley took comfort in the memory of the last interaction she had with her son, which she poignantly described:

“I know he knew that I loved him. The last time I saw him, he gave me a big hug. That’s what keeps me going through this. I can still feel him squeeze me.”
