If no one reports a plane missing, is it really missing? The 1976-77 Winter was unusually dry in Yosemite. Finding a plane crash site in the backcountry should have been easy. Mrs. Glisky knew her husband was in trouble, he’d missed his check in phone call and was long overdue. Should she call the authorities? If so, which agency? In this episode we follow the search, and discovery of the wreckage and the chaos that follows.
