In this episode, Brian takes you inside one of the most heartbreaking and widely followed true crime cases of the last decade — the murder of Gabby Petito. What began as a young couple's dream road trip across America spiraled into a national media firestorm, ending with tragedy, unanswered questions, and a haunting search for justice.Brian strips away the headlines and viral headlines to walk through the factual timeline: the cross-country van life adventure, the disturbing police bodycam footage from Moab, Utah, the troubling behavioral red flags from Brian Laundrie, and the frantic search that captivated millions. He examines the investigation step-by-step, from the missing person report to the grim discovery of Gabby's remains in Grand Teton National Park, to the subsequent manhunt for Laundrie that ultimately ended with his suicide.While the media cycle often sensationalized the story, The Guilty Files: Uncovered focuses on the hard facts, the official reports, the autopsy findings, and the investigative decisions that shaped this case. Brian applies his law enforcement experience to analyze key moments that could have shifted the outcome, and highlights the painful realities of domestic violence, public scrutiny, and law enforcement limitations that still fuel debate today.This is the real story behind the headlines — told with clarity, respect, and an unflinching look at the human dynamics that turned a young couple's social media dream into a national tragedy.

When climber Dave Black got a new lease on life after receiving a revolutionary treatment for Parkinson's, he wanted to once again stand on the summit of the Grand Teton. A lifelong climber with 15-20 ascents on the Grand, he invited two younger climbers to join him for a push up the Exum Ridge on July 16, 2024. The events that occurred that day revealed several complex layers of high consequence adventure: decision-making, preparedness, person-to-person conflict, and the effect of a disease like Parkinson's. In this episode, Dave is joined by Lexie Hunsaker, a seasonal Jenny Lake Climbing Ranger at Grand Teton National Park, who was inserted via helicopter short-haul—at about 12,800 feet up—to assist in the response.

Chatting with Suzanne Woods Fisher is always a pleasure, and this interview was delightful as well.  Learning all about her new series got me excited to read her latest release, Capture the Moment. Listen in and see what's up with her national parks series! note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. Photography is something we don't see enough of in Christian fiction. Maybe I've just missed all the books, but I can only name a small handful with that as a key component of the story.  Add to that a bear and a bunch of people wanting photos of it, oh... and this park ranger who might actually help out with the capturing of this photo and... SUSPENSE? What?  EEEP!  I mean, I'm calling it suspense, because like, duh! Someone with not-so-good motives toward a bear and anyone who gets in the way of said bear?  TOTALLY suspenseful in my book. Capture the Moment by Suzanne Woods Fisher She's ready for adventure--isn't she? Kate Cunningham is facing the opportunity of a lifetime. As a zoo photographer, she's spent years photographing animals in carefully controlled environments, but now National Geographic has dangled an irresistible prize: If Kate can snag a unique photo of a legendary bear in Grand Teton National Park, they just might publish it. It's the kind of challenge Kate has been waiting for, and she's eager to prove herself in the wild.  With more enthusiasm than experience, Kate soon realizes that capturing an image of this bear isn't as simple as she hoped. Fortunately, she crosses paths with Grant Cooper, a seasonal park ranger who knows the terrain--and the bears--better than anyone. His tracking skills could be exactly what Kate needs to succeed, and it doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes. But they're not the only ones with an interest in the park's most famous bear. And his motives are far from innocent. A clean, kisses-only contemporary romance and summer read by Suzanne Woods Fisher for wildlife, travel, and photography enthusiasts set in Grand Teton National Park.

Show Notes:Holly's Links:Holly's profile on The Mountain Guideshttps://www.instagram.com/hollyismackin/Episode Intro:Dear listeners of the Female Guides Requested Podcast, happy Wednesday! This is your host Ting Ting from Las Vegas. Today, our guest is Holly Mackin.  When Holly was little, no one would have ever assumed she'd find her pursuits in the outdoors. Mostly scared of bugs and raised within the traditions of Catholic culture, it seemed highly unlikely she'd commit to a life living in and out of a van or tent. Something changed in high school when she needed an escape from the drama of her peers. She started running outdoors and practicing yoga religiously. She found herself going on mission trips abroad, which gave her more purpose.When she decided to go to college at the University of Colorado Boulder, she was exposed to backcountry skiing and climbing. Already a runner, she scheduled her classes around soloing the Flatirons so she could take her practice to more interesting places. Throughout college, she spent summers in Grand Teton National Park, where she later planted roots as a mountain guide.Her passion for rock climbing takes her to the Southwest every spring and fall, frequenting areas like Indian Creek, Red Rock Canyon, and Joshua Tree. In the winter, Holly is usually found in the Tetons, hunting for untouched powder and teaching snow science. She coordinates all women's backcountry skiing and climbing programs for The Mountain Guides under the Women's Network. This program also works to support newer women guides on their journey to becoming mountain guides.Holly followed her heart to become a guide, cherishes the connections she builds with her clients and fellow guides, and has big dreams to make an impact. Now, please enjoy this episode with Holly Mackin.Things We Talked about:From Kentucky to Colorado, following the love of skiingEnvironmental Anthropology and skiing brought Holly to Jackson WyomingInception of guiding and it all started at a juiceryIn college, Holly maximized her time being on the ski slopes and rock cliffsGot an internship at The Mountain Guides doing all sorts of chores and volunteering to shadow trips to get outdoorsRight now at Teton Valley guiding skiing and teaching avalanche coursesFeeling closer to her environmental goals guidingHolly's environmental takes and views and how she uses conversations to remind people that we are part of natureHolly loves being outside and human connectionsWomen's Programs with The Mountain Guides – guides development and clients long term progressionOutlook on guidingBeyond guiding, Holly wants to be an entrepreneur

**Discussion begins at 5:00**Gabby Petito was born and raised in Blue Point, New York and was the oldest of 7 children in a blended family.  While attending Bayport Blue Point High School, she met Brian Laundrie.  After graduating in 2017, they reconnected and began dating in 2019.  Eventually, they decided to move to Northpoint, Fl to live with Brian's parents.  In 2020 they got engaged, and Gabby purchased a Ford Transit Connect - which the couple converted into a sleeper van.  On July 2, 2021 they set off from New York on a 4 month roadtrip through national parks.  Gabby was hoping to take off as a content creator, and was vlogging the journey on her YouTube and Instagram accounts about #vanlife.  On August 12, 2021 police responded to a 911 call in Moab, Utah. The caller had reported seeing a man attacking a girl in a van driving by.  The couple was separated and the police felt that Brian was the victim and no charges were pressed.  They sent him to a domestic abuse hotel for the night, and she stayed in the van. The couple then proceeded on their trip. On August 25 Gabby made a final post to Instagram and then stopped responding to texts or phone calls.  On September 11, Gabby's mother filed a missing persons report in Suffolk County, NY.  When police went to the Laundries as part of a wellness check, they learned that Brian had returned home in Gabby's van, without her.  But the Laundries had already hired an attorney and refused to cooperate with the police investigation.  The investigation let them to Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, where Gabby's phone was last used.  On September 19, 3 weeks after the investigation had begun, her body was found in the park.  After the discovery of her body, a search warrant was issued on the Laundrie home, and it is then that we learn Brian Laundrie had disappeared days prior, last seen going on a hike.  A month later, on October 20, Brian Laundrie's parents discover his body in Carlton Reserve, a nature preserve near their home.  With him, they find a backpack that contains a journal with a partial confession – Brian claimed that he had killed Gabby, but only because she had a freak accident and was suffering and asked him to put her out of his misery.  The coroner eventually ruled Brian Laundrie's cause of death to be suicide by GSW.  However, a number of inconsistencies in the crime scene, and his parent's unwillingness to assist in the search for Gabby Petito, have led many online to speculate that Brian Laundrie is not actually dead, and that his parents helped him fake his death to cover it up.Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

Justice for Gabby: Parents Turn Tragedy into a Mission After Uncovering Troubling Messages What began as a dream adventure for Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie ended in tragedy, sparking a nationwide movement against domestic violence. Almost four years after her murder, Petito's parents continue to uncover new insights into her relationship with Laundrie, revealing chilling warning signs. Gabby Petito, a young woman from Blue Point, New York, set off on a road trip with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, in 2021. With aspirations of becoming a travel influencer, she documented their journey through social media. However, behind the carefully curated images and videos, her relationship with Laundrie was deteriorating. The couple's travels took a dark turn in Moab, Utah, when a witness called police after seeing a man striking a woman. Bodycam footage from the encounter showed a distressed Petito, while police ultimately determined she was the aggressor. Officers separated the couple for the night, but no arrests were made, and they continued their trip. On August 27, Petito's mother, Nichole Schmidt, received an unusual text from Gabby's phone: “Can you help Stan? I keep getting his voicemails and missed calls.” Gabby never referred to her grandfather by his first name, raising red flags. Another text mentioned they were heading to Yosemite instead of Yellowstone, adding to the family's concerns. Days later, Laundrie returned alone to his parents' home in North Port, Florida, driving Petito's van. Her family reported her missing on September 11, launching a nationwide search. On September 19, investigators discovered her body in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. An autopsy later confirmed she died from strangulation. “They said we found remains consistent with your daughter,” Gabby's stepfather, Jim Schmidt, recalled in an interview with ABC's 20/20. “I remember I was crying, and I said you have to be sure.” Laundrie quickly became the sole person of interest but refused to speak with police. Shortly after, his parents reported him missing. Following an intense 37-day manhunt, his remains were found in a Florida nature reserve. Authorities determined he had died by suicide, and a notebook recovered from the scene contained his confession to Petito's killing. Recently, Petito's parents revealed previously unseen text messages and letters they discovered on her phone after her death. In one message, Gabby pleaded with Laundrie: “Don't try to control me because it only makes me mad. I love you so much, but it's the way you speak to me that hurts me the most.” A letter she wrote to him read, “Brian, you know how much I love you. Just please stop crying and stop calling me names. You in pain is killing me.” These discoveries paint a clearer picture of the emotional turmoil she endured. "I liked Brian," Nichole Schmidt admitted in a recent interview. "He was very soft-spoken. He would sit and do art with the girls… He got along with her brother, TJ, and he just seemed like a nice person." The couple's relationship intensified when they moved to Florida to live with Laundrie's parents. They got engaged in 2020, but Gabby's family only learned about it through Facebook. “I'm an old-school person,” her father, Joe Petito, said. “You go up to the father… ask them for their hand in marriage. That didn't happen.” With their wedding plans delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, they decided to embark on their van-life adventure instead. What started as an exciting journey ended in a devastating tragedy that shook the nation. In the aftermath of their loss, Petito's family channeled their grief into advocacy, founding the Gabby Petito Foundation. The organization works to combat domestic violence and support the search for missing persons. “She made a difference,” Joe Petito said. “People saw a beautiful soul, and she had an impact that changed the lives of a lot of people and the world. There's no more amazing legacy that you could have." If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, help is available.

As investigators continue to comb Grand Teton National Park and the surrounding areas for Gabby Petito, another search is underway for Brian Laundrie in Florida after he left his home on Tuesday and has not returned. Meanwhile Gabby's parents and the rest of the country continue to search for answers.

Gabby Petito was a 22-year-old travel blogger whose disappearance and murder captured national attention in 2021. She had been on a cross-country road trip with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, documenting their travels on social media. However, in late August, communication with her family suddenly stopped, and Brian returned to his home in Florida on September 1—alone, refusing to speak about Gabby's whereabouts. Her parents reported her missing on September 11, sparking an intense nationwide search. On September 19, authorities found Gabby's remains in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, with an autopsy later revealing she had been strangled. As public suspicion mounted against Brian, he fled, prompting a weeks-long manhunt.Brian Laundrie's remains were discovered on October 20 in a Florida nature reserve, along with a notebook in which he claimed responsibility for Gabby's death. His cause of death was determined to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The case sparked widespread discussions about domestic violence, law enforcement response, and media bias in missing persons cases.

Gabby Petito was a 22-year-old travel blogger whose disappearance and murder captured national attention in 2021. She had been on a cross-country road trip with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, documenting their travels on social media. However, in late August, communication with her family suddenly stopped, and Brian returned to his home in Florida on September 1—alone, refusing to speak about Gabby's whereabouts. Her parents reported her missing on September 11, sparking an intense nationwide search. On September 19, authorities found Gabby's remains in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, with an autopsy later revealing she had been strangled. As public suspicion mounted against Brian, he fled, prompting a weeks-long manhunt.Brian Laundrie's remains were discovered on October 20 in a Florida nature reserve, along with a notebook in which he claimed responsibility for Gabby's death. His cause of death was determined to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The case sparked widespread discussions about domestic violence, law enforcement response, and media bias in missing persons cases. The Petito family has since dedicated themselves to advocating for victims of domestic abuse, launching the Gabby Petito Foundation to raise awareness and provide resources for those in similar situations. The case remains one of the most high-profile missing person investigations in recent history, with ongoing lawsuits and legal actions related to the handling of the case.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In November 1950, a Douglas DC-3C aircraft tragically met its fate on Mount Moran in Wyoming. Amid foggy conditions and nighttime flight, the plane, operated by the New Tribe Mission, was en route from Chico, California, to Billings, Montana. With 21 souls aboard, including 8 children, the plane crashed on the mountain's slope. The accident site, located in a remote, rugged area within the Grand Teton National Park, made rescue efforts nearly impossible. Sadly, all passengers and crew perished, and the wreckage remains on the mountain to this day. The tale stands as a haunting reminder of nature's formidable power.

Tom Mangelsen is a renowned American nature and wildlife photographer celebrated for his breathtaking imagery that captures some of the planet's most iconic animals in their natural habitats. Born in Nebraska, Mangelsen's early fascination with the outdoors, fostered by time spent hunting and fishing along the Platte River, laid the foundation for his lifelong dedication to conservation-focused photography. Over the course of his prolific career, he has traveled across all seven continents, documenting everything from Alaskan brown bears  to Africa's majestic elephants traversing vast savannas and many places in between. His commitment to capturing authentic wildlife moments has made him a recipient of numerous awards, including recognition by the BBC as one of the 40 most influential nature photographers in the world.Grizzly 399 was a world-famous grizzly bear residing primarily in Grand Teton National Park, often hailed as the “Matriarch of the Tetons.” Born in 1996, she has garnered widespread media and public attention for raising numerous litters of cubs - often in close proximity to roads and park visitors - while maintaining a relatively calm demeanor around humans. Her remarkable maternal track record has contributed significantly to our understanding of grizzly behavior and ecology in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. She was struck and killed by a vehicle on October 22, 2024.Notable Links:Tom Mangelsen WebsiteTom Mangelsen InstagramGrizzly 399: The World's Most Famous Mother BearFirst LightGrizzly 399 Wikipedia Page*****This episode is brought to you by Luminar Neo.Luminar Neo streamlines the editing process and provides everything you could possibly need to get photos that will look amazing on the screen and in print.

On 640 undeveloped acres adjacent to Grand Teton National Park, state land known as the “Kelly Parcel” saw its future transform in the past 13 months. It was back in October 2023 when state land managers put the wheels in motion for an open auction. That after years of failed attempts through legislation to arrange a sale. The issue was tabled until fall 2024. In July, Wyoming Public Radio's Chris Clements saddled up to see what was at stake. 

Announcing the Yellowstone Drive Guide App for the 2025 season and beyond. The YDG App will change the way people visit Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks by escorting them through the parks like never before. Not only will the app escort you through both parks, it also covers all the roads leading to the parks and no matter if you fly into any of the airports that surround the park or drive in from any direction, the YDG App will pick up and tell you everything that is out in front of you so you don't miss a thing outside the parks as well as inside the parks. Launching in January of 2025, the YDG App will also have an AI, Artificial Intelligence feature where during your planning stages, you can ask me any question you want and I will answer it through our new AI addition. And you will know that you are getting the best possible information for your trip because it's coming from Teddy Garland who is one of the most foremost authorities on Yellowstone. The AI feature is very complicated and will take a bit longer to get launched so look for it later this spring. When used in conjunction with our top rated guidebook Explore Yellowstone Like a Local, you are guaranteed to have a great Yellowstone vacation. 

Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/688 Presented By:   Grand Teton Fly Fishing Scott Smith, owner of Grand Teton Fly Fishing, takes us on a journey through the Yellowstone area. We'll uncover tips for fishing the area's rivers, learn about pre-hatches, and hear Scott's biggest tip for landing those tricky fish sipping bugs off the surface. Plus, Scott will also share stories about his mentor, Jack Dennis. This is going to be a good one! Show Notes with Scott Smith on Grand Teton Fly Fishing.  02:03 - Scott grew up fishing creeks in North Georgia. Fly fishing for him came later when he picked up a rod at 12 at a garage sale and taught himself through magazines and VHS tapes. He eventually met Jack Dennis, who became his mentor. Check out our episode with Jack Dennis. Starting Grand Teton Fly Fishing 05:52 - Scott moved to Jackson Hole in the late '90s. Over the years, he built a career, mentored new guides, and created a loyal client base. In 2011, he and Mark Fuller took over Jack Dennis' business and started Grand Teton Fly Fishing. 11:55 - Scott tells us about the waters they guide in western Wyoming. They cover Yellowstone National Park's lakes to Grand Teton National Park's Snake River headwaters. Scott says they customize trips based on how long guests stay and what they want to do. Fishing in Jackson Hole 15:41 - We hear about what fishing looks like throughout the year in Jackson Hole. Scott says they do a lot of drift boat fishing to cover large rivers like the Snake, but there's still plenty of wade fishing when the conditions are right. March to October is the best fishing season, with good hatches and fewer crowds.  Early March is great for dry fly fishing, especially with midges and blue-winged olives. The peak fishing season starts in mid-June and continues in July through September. Fishing in September and October 23:20 - We talk about the fishing conditions in September and October. As the water cools down, the fishing gets better, with some great hatches like the Hecuba fly. Scott says this is also when the Jackson Hole One Fly event usually happens.  28:09 - Scott says that the Snake River is both forgiving for new anglers and challenging for experts. The Snake River is home to the Snake River Fine-Spotted Cutthroat,  a subspecies of the Yellowstone cutthroat.  34:52 - Scott says that when he's guiding, he always looks for spots where fish are likely to be. The key is looking for subtle sips, usually signs of bigger fish feeding.  40:10 - If you're not seeing much action on the surface, Scott suggests switching to attractor patterns or terrestrials like beetles and ants. You can also add a dropper fly, but it might limit how close you can fish to the bank. Scott's Top 8 Fly Patterns 1. Small chubby (black, purple, tan)  2. Small black foam flies  3. Golden Stone Water Walker  4. Parachute Adams 5. Parachute Hare's Ears   6. Mercer's Missing Link   7. Callibaetis Flies 8. Small streamers  Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/688

Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/677   Presented By: Yellowstone Teton Territory Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/teton  Today, we explore Fly Fish Food Jimmy's, a top fly shop in the West, now under new management. Join us as we speak with Madison Losee, the new shop manager. She'll share tips for your next fly fishing trip, including ways to avoid crowds on the famous Henry's Fork and her preferred techniques over the dry dropper method in summer. Madison will also share stories, including a surprise visit from a celebrity. Whether you're heading to Idaho or looking to up your fishing game, this episode is filled with insights you won't want to miss! Episode Chapters with Madison Losee on Fly Fish Food Jimmy's 2:17 - Madison explains that after a changeover, the fly shop significantly increased its inventory, especially in fly selection, now offering four times as many flies as before. This expansion was aimed at accommodating the needs of both local fly tying enthusiasts and visitors preparing for fishing trips. The shop is positioned as a central hub for anglers heading to famous fishing destinations such as the Henry's Fork and the South Fork of the Snake River, benefiting from its strategic location near major highways. 4:01 - She discusses her background and experience leading up to her first managerial role at Fly Fish Food Jimmy's. She explains that while this is her first position as a manager, she has a strong retail background from high school and has grown up working for her family's drift boat company, giving her a long-standing connection to the fly fishing industry. 6:47 - Madison talks about the experience of running a fly shop in Idaho Falls, which attracts both locals and tourists. Common questions from visitors include where to fish and what equipment to use. She also highlights the shop's proximity to prime fishing locations like Henry's Fork and South Fork, which are about 30 to 45 minutes away from town. 10:45 - She describes the team at the fly shop. Madison has been with the shop since June of the previous year. She enjoys interacting with regular customers, learning from experienced fly fishers, and staying updated on new products and gear, which she finds both fun and educational. 21:41 - We talk about Jimmy Gabettas, who was the owner of Jimmy's All Seasons Angler before it was bought by Fly Fish Food. Madison shares that Jimmy is enjoying his retirement by taking bucket list trips, including a recent one to Mongolia, and continues to engage in fishing and hunting. Despite retiring, he still visits the shop regularly to stock up on tying materials and shares his fishing experiences with the staff. 15:04 - Madison mentions spending considerable time fishing in Wyoming and expresses particular enjoyment in fishing the Snake River through Jackson, indicating it's a favorite spot. 17:02 - We talk about fishing in the Snake River area in western Wyoming, specifically through Grand Teton National Park and Jackson Hole. Madison explains that while having a boat allows for covering more water, it is not essential for fishing there, though caution is advised due to areas with strong whitewater currents. 19:13 - We get into the best times to fish the South Fork of the Snake River. She mentions that although fishing is possible year-round, her favorite times are May and June during runoff, and especially July during the salmon fly hatch. She explains that this hatch is influenced by water temperatures and can be followed through different sections of the river, typically lasting a couple of weeks from the end of June to early July. 20:24 - Madison shares her preference for using large dry flies rather than a dry dropper setup, highlighting her technique of casting close to overhanging trees and "twitching" the fly to attract fish. She emphasizes the importance of precision in casting, even at the risk of losing flies to tree branches, and describes the satisfaction of making a perfect cast. She also explains her method of twitching the fly by wiggling the rod tip to create movement, which she finds effective in attracting cutthroat trout on the South Fork. 25:37 - She mentions the products available at the shop. Madison also recommends some gear to bring when you a plan a fishing trip to their area. When it comes to casting instruction, she mentions that due to the shop's downtown location, they don't offer in-person coaching. 28:01 - I briefly share about my recent interview with Chris Korich, the coach of renowned fly caster Maxine McCormick. Chris shared insights on how Maxine began casting at the age of nine and quickly won championships, attributing part of her success to the type of rod used. Our episode with Chris will be released in November. 30:46 - Madison describes the experience of visiting their fly shop, highlighting their extensive fly-tying materials section. The shop maintains its original structure, with enhancements for more inventory. 35:48 - She highlights her top flies, mentioning the Chubbys as a must-have. She also mentions the "Pink Albert," which she describes as a fly with a pinkish hue, resembling a pink PMD or potentially a brown drake subspecies. 37:07 - We delve into the gender dynamics within the industry, specifically in fly shops. Madison notes that there is a slim percentage of women visiting the shop, which she finds interesting considering her own background in the industry. She also shares her personal experience of being questioned about her fishing skills despite her position as a shop manager. 40:48 - We ask Madison about some local attractions in Idaho Falls. She recommends The SnakeBite, a well-known local restaurant, popular even among celebrities like Harrison Ford, who visits when he's in town. She also tells a story about encountering Ty Burrell from "Modern Family" at their fly shop, highlighting the area's appeal to celebrities. Beyond dining, she describes Idaho Falls as a hub for outdoor activities, including hiking, dirt biking, mountain biking, and hunting. 42:55 - We discuss fishing opportunities throughout the year in Southport, which remains productive, especially with mid-hatch nymphing. Madison explains that the water stays open, allowing for fishing without obstacles. We also talk about the proximity of steelhead fishing, noting it's about three hours away at the Salmon River, while the Clearwater River is six to seven hours away. 44:23 - Madison talks about how to make the most out of visiting a fly shop. She shares a perspective that visitors should consider spending money, as a form of appreciation for the advice received, instead of just collecting information and purchasing nothing. She also notes that fishing doesn't require expert skills everywhere, as even beginners can succeed. 46:22 - Madison admits she has never tried Euro nymphing, although she acknowledges its popularity. She explains her preference for fishing in her own style, even if it means not catching a fish. Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/677 

On today's newscast: Snowmass Village Town Council candidate Debbie Alcorta was arrested Friday on a charge of theft for allegedly misusing a company card; the Garfield County Public Library District has several positions opening up on its board, and the county commissioners are once again planning to oversee the appointment process; and federal wildlife officials spread the ashes of world-famous Grizzly 399 last week in Grand Teton National Park. Tune in for these stories and more.

On this week's episode: Grizzly 399's death has made national headlines and triggered memorials and gatherings from the Snake River Canyon to Grand Teton National Park. KHOL's Dante Filpula Ankney reports both wildlife advocates like Kristin Combs and wildlife managers like Chris Servheen and Dan Thompson say the bear had a positive impact throughout it's life but posed some unique management challenges.   Former Jackson Hole Fire Chief Stephen Jellie resigned under much scrutiny last year with a substantial severance. KHOL's Sophia Boyd-Fliegel talks with Mat-Su Sentinel reporter Amy Bushatz about a similar situation, this time in Palmer, Alaska.   Many who can't vote in Tuesday's election are still anxious about the results. A group of Jacksonites and immigrant service providers met last month in the Teton County Library to recap recent immigration policy changes and outline potentials for under a Trump OR Harris administration. KHOL's Rachel Stevens attended and talked Alin Yukiro Badillo Carillo — the leader of an immigration group in town who fears her complicated legal status could change.    Over the past few months KHOL and StoryCorps have connected Teton County residents with candidates running for local office through one-on-one conversations. In the final installment of our election edition of One Small Step produced by Alyson Spery, we hear from two candidates: Devon Viehman who's running for town council and Jerry Bosch who's running for the school board.    Jackson Unpacked airs locally at 89.1 FM or via live-stream Mondays at 7:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., and Fridays and Sundays at 12:30 p.m. Support Jackson's only nonprofit newsroom by becoming a member of KHOL today.

This episode delves into the history of the Teton Valley, focusing on early settlers, dude ranches, and the eventual creation of Grand Teton National Park. Highlights include transforming harsh, isolated land into thriving dude ranches by pioneers like Struthers Burt and Louis Joy, the romanticized Western experience sought by Easterners, and the rise of commercial developments that threatened the region's authenticity. The ranchers that opposed federal control eventually became the new National Park's biggest champions.   Hosted by Jason Epperson Written by Lizzie Tesch   Use code PARKS30 for $30 off of a $500 or more booking at www.rvshare.com.

In this episode of Planet Geo, Chris Bolhuis and Dr. Jesse Reimink dive deep into the geology of the Grand Teton National Park. They cover the park's ancient rock formations, from the Archean gneiss to the granites formed around 2.5 billion years ago. The discussion also explores significant geological events like the Severe and Laramide orogenies, the impact of the Yellowstone Hotspot Track, and the glacial activity that sculpted the dramatic landscapes of the Tetons. Get access to The Geology of the Grand Tetons on the CampGeo app now - link below!Download the CampGeo app now at this link.

In this, my last podcast for the 2024 season, we cover some final updates in both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. We cover a great place to ride bikes where you can see one of the best geysers in the world and lots of other fun stuff on a road that has remained closed for 3 seasons now and looks like it might stay closed for a long long time. We also go over some new additions to the guidebook for you to look for in 2025 including what may become one of the most popular swimming spots in all of Yellowstone Park. We finish off the podcast with a who done it of sorts that is really interesting.  

Have you ever wanted to scratch beneath the surface of a national park and gain a better understanding of the issues the National Park Service is challenged with? Or to see what research is being conducted, or understand what goals are being chased? The staff at Grand Teton National Park just released their 2024 Grand Glimpse of the Park and the many issues and challenges park staff, and even visitors, face. To dive into that report, we're joined by Grand Teton National Park Superintendent Chip Jenkins.

Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie were a young couple who gained widespread media attention in 2021 due to the tragic circumstances surrounding Gabby's disappearance and death. Gabby Petito, a 22-year-old aspiring social media influencer, and Brian Laundrie, her 23-year-old fiancé, embarked on a cross-country road trip in a van, documenting their journey on social media.The trip took a dark turn when Gabby Petito was reported missing on September 11, 2021, after her family lost contact with her. She was last seen in Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park in late August. Brian Laundrie returned to his parents' home in Florida without Gabby on September 1, driving the van they had been traveling in. He did not provide any information on Gabby's whereabouts and subsequently refused to cooperate with the investigation.Gabby's remains were discovered on September 19, 2021, in Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming. Her death was ruled a homicide by manual strangulation. Following her disappearance and the discovery of her body, Brian Laundrie became the prime suspect. A massive manhunt ensued, and his remains were eventually found on October 20, 2021, in the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park in Florida. The cause of death was determined to be suicide by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.Now, we are learning more about Brian Laundrie's state of mind leading up to the murder due to the release of his diary.   Let's dive in!(commercial at 6:51)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Revealed: Brian Laundrie's disturbing drawings, diary, weapons (nypost.com)

Spring is here and it's the perfect time to start planning that spring trip to Yellowstone for this travel season or next.

 One of the most frequent questions we get from travelers is how to plan a visit to Glacier, Yellowstone, and Grand Teton NPs in a single road trip. In this episode, we cover all the details you'll need to do just that.   Without a doubt, these three parks are at the top of our “most spectacular” list. Each has its unique history and landscape, yet they're all great places to witness once-in-a-lifetime wildlife encounters. The other thing they have in common is that they all have mountainous regions. Given their elevations, winter weather can sneak up on you anytime during the year, which makes carefully choosing your dates to visit even more important than with many other destinations.   With the current popularity of the national parks, especially these three, embarking on a road trip to see them requires advanced planning. We suggest a year or more before your desired travel date. However, you can do it, and we'll share all the tips and tricks we know to help you.   The best way to support our podcast is to become a member of our Patreon account.
