Review of "Missing 411" Continued

 Another missing report was filed in the Smoky Mountains National Park when two exhausted Scouts fell asleep on the trail itself during a snowstorm. The stronger Scout heard a scream from the other but did not get up. The next morning he found that the weaker Scout was gone.
A search party found the Scout's body near a stream. His pack was ab out a hundred yards away on a rock out in the middle of the stream. The water was several  feet deep there. The contents of the pack were arrayed about the pack on the rock. Can't you imagine a chimpanzee or even a Bigfoot squatting on the rock, taking the pack's contents out after he had killed the Scout?
  The micro-tension of the book is reading all the bizarre, frightening stories of hundreds of missing people. The macro-tension is two part. First you have Paulides in a dry mannner presenting the facts, just the facts, in an orderly manner against a backdrop of deadly, weird chaos. Secondly, you have the tension of waiting for Paulides to say the obvious: this is the work of Bigfoot.There's no other answer. He refuses to do that, and the tension continues.
