If you're looking for number 3 don't bother, I missed it. November 12, 1945 when 74-year-old Middie Rivers disappeared while out hunting. Rivers was guiding a group of four hunters up the mountains. After getting to the hunt site and spending the day it was time to get back to camp. Rivers got ahead of the group as they were coming down the trail on Long Trail Road near Vermont Route 9. He was still in sight when he followed the trail around a slight bend. As the others got to that point he was no longer anywhere to be seen. Paula Jean Welden, 18, disappeared about a year later on December 1, 1946. Welden was a sophomore at Bennington College. She had set out for a hike on the Long Trail. A lot of folks on the trail saw her, including Ernest Whitman, a Bennington Banner employee who gave her directions.
many people have vanished in the same area. Here are several stories of folks who have gone missing.
