It was a long hard winter. Lots of ice storms and big snowstorms
here in Skamania. I spent a lot of time inside. Had a heavy workload for my job
and it was good. I also gained a lot of weight, so I'm working on burning that
off. In the last chapter of searching for Austin Oldfield I said that I thought he
was still alive. I'm going to give you the reasons why I think he might be
alive and then some of the reasons why he might not be. First of all, several
people have said that they've seen him. Second of all, there was a viewer who's
kind of an online sleuth and was talking with some people from the rainbow family
and he had this conversation with them- he said, Hopefully he's among the family. And
the person responding said, He is no worries.
And this man responded, He is with your group of people? And about 30 minutes
later she said, Oh I misunderstood. Sorry. No word of him. This, the sleuth that was
looking into this said that he felt like she was trying to cover up, like she
realized she'd made a mistake and then went back on her word. And then the most
compelling reason that I think Austin is alive and is because his ex-wife, and
mother of two of his children, said that on July 29 she got a notice from Google+
and she shared an account with Austin and her daughter and they were the only
ones on the account, and she got a notification
saying that she got.... that... she... there was a video posted by Austin. The first one was
July 29 of 2016 and then the second one was September 14 of 2016. She commented
on both of those posts and said, Where are you. Please respond. We want to know
you're okay and you're safe. And there was no response. Then in
December those links were deleted. Sometimes online posts, or different
companies will put promotionals for, for movies and stuff, on your account I
haven't known Google+ to do that, and that's what makes me suspicious,, and also,
that they were deleted. And that is the number one reason why I think Austin
Oldfield is alive. The cons to that are: with this online
investigator said when he talked with one of the rainbow family members, it's
very likely that that could have just been an accidental slip of the tongue
that she did just honestly misunderstood so none of this is conclusive proof that
Austin Oldfield is alive. The biggest thing that doesn't fit with Austin still
being alive is that his disappearance doesn't fit the MO of most people that
disappear usually you'll just find their car and their stuff at the end of some
trail when they're trying to disappear. That's the last of you you hear of them.
But with Austin we found a few days later, after he was into his trip, some
people pick him up he's looking for water. That's really unusual and that
part is the biggest evidence I see for Austin still being out there in the
woods somewhere. To be honest with you the thought of him being alive
discourages me from looking for him anymore.
For some reason thinking that he posted on his Google account and then took it
down and that he's just one of those people that disappeared, I don't want to be
looking for somebody like that. A I don't have time to go out and
investigate across the country. There's somebody who thinks, says they saw him in
Tennessee. His sister, Austin's sister Pamela has said that she's gotten a lot
of false alarms of people that would claim they've seen Austin.
It's all speculation. A lot of people say when they read my... watch my videos, that
you're projecting a lot on Austin and that's really true, and that's not what I
enjoy, actually. I want to try to just know enough to know where to look for
him or where to look for the missing person, and to be honest that's getting
kind of tedious for me going off in that direction and even trying to investigate
in the tri-cities where people claimed... it's a long ways way... and I just don't
have the time to go out to those places and invest in that kind of a search.... OK
let me just say, a few months ago I got news that Austin had posted on his
Google+ account and at first I was... that made me about 80 percent sure that he
was alive. Then when I recorded the video that you were just watching, I was about
50/50 in my decision about whether Austin was alive or no, because I
thought maybe these ads were just... or these posts were just automatic ads
placed.... and so I emailed Austin's ex and asked her what the content was and she
responded by saying, "The first one was called Lemon Tree Passage. It was a link
to a B movie about some kids whose car broke down in the woods and an evil
spirit is getting them. Yeah it creeps me out too but it was a b-movie he loved
those I think it was Australian the second was a kids movie Ice Age I think.
When I think about it, it was in French. I don't have a clue. I was totally thrown
for a loop. This was on the Google+ that he had set up with me and my daughter on
her tablet. He would send her messages or message stickers he would send her
messages. I don't know at first I thought it was just that it had just been hacked
or that maybe some one was messing with his iPad, but that's in police evidence
right??? We were only there we were the only three connected. We have no other
people on this account. I will send you a screenshot,
but not home right now." and so far she hasn't sent me a screenshot. When I got
that response it really changed my mind about whether or not
Austin was alive or whether I believe he is... and I do believe he is... and I'm about
98 percent sure because those video links were so specific.
I believe that Austin is suffering from some sort of psychotic break possibly
brought on by drug abuse. There's different things in life... stress genetics
drug abuse or drug use can lead to altered states of mind that are
permanent and I believe that something like that happened to Austin that is
making him experience delusions hallucinations and paranoia and that
he's most likely still alive. And here's why I think that that is the case for
him. First of all, one of his friends posted on his sister's Facebook page
that, um, they were sad to hear about Austin and that I thought it was odd
when he was visiting that he would often take drugs, and I think possibly had
taken drugs, he or she, I could... don't remember if it was a male or female,
couldn't get him to come into the house because he was chasing mystical creatures.
Also the people who dropped him off at the lake said he was chasing a red balloon
with a magical ship under it. He also left his iPod wrapped in tinfoil in his
car, and that's how they the police found it, which doesn't make sense because he
was smart. He was tech savvy. If he was really trying not to let people track
him he could have... it's harder on an iPad... but you could remove the battery or
completely leave it behind or somewhere else. Wrapping in tinfoil isn't really a
logical solution... so there's that. I think that that's the paranoia I see in it. And
then the video he sent, I believe like I said before, of these kids whose car
broke down out in the wild and then he was haunted or they were haunted... it's so
parallel to his... and I mean, his battery was dead and so he was kind of trapped
out there.... and, uh. I believe he was kind of on a
Vision Quest like I thought in the first place, but I think he was so far past
being able to save himself and pull himself back in from these delusions
that it also explains to me why he didn't just leave. He wasn't necessarily
trying to disappear, at first, or even at all, because people like that will kind
of stay connected here and there. You hear from them every once in a while.
It's not just a straightforward- I'm trying to disappear. They're just trying
to disappear from their fears and their hallucinations this is very similar,
like I've said before, to one of viewers that sent in, and said that their brother had
disappeared in the same way. Abandoned their car at a forest service trail and
then they he turned up about three months later when he was arrested for
arson, and that he disconnected the family because they he thought that they
were after him too. Also, in my personal experience, I had a woman contact me,
my business, wanting me to create a documentary for her about downloading
top... well... it was basically about this evil organization that was worldwide and
they were downloading documents to her brain and she wanted to expose them for
who they were but she wouldn't give me her full contact. She would only call me
and she wouldn't give me an email address or a phone number or a mailing
address because the police could track her down, or not the police, this
Authority. However she did have a website and a phone number.
and she sent me some of the documents that had been downloaded to her brain
and they were kind of just gibberish and tons... like directions and
receipts, but in somebody's mind that is going through this... those things all make
sense, perfect sense, and although they're just jumbled facts to the rest of us.
And this woman called me several times. I talked with her at length.
And to me.... the similar... their experiences are so similar and the things that she
was talking about in the fear, it's so similar to what I... I see... these little
fragments from Austin. I could be wrong I'm not a professional.
He hasn't been evaluated, but from my life experience, that's I'm saying. That's
what I feel happened and I'm about 98% sure or, you know, they're about. Because of
that I am going to switch gears a bit and start searching for somebody else.
And that doesn't mean I'm not going to keep looking for Austin and, there will
be future chapters on searching for Austin Oldfield as well, but for me I want
to expand a little bit more about who I'm looking for.
And I've thought about several of the different options of people have gone
missing here in the county, and there are a number of high profile cases, but the
ones that are a little bit more quiet, uh, are more interesting to me ,and that's
why what I am going to focus on next is the story of a winter storm that came up
here in Skamania County in 2013, I believe, in at the end of September and
it was a bad storm. Unexpected heavy heavy rain. Four people went missing.
Heavy rain in the valleys and snow in the mountains, and when the
search-and-rescue team was out is raining so hard they had trash can out
and it filled up I believe within 24 hours with water. All of those people
were found except for one. One man who'd been out with a friend and they were
going to be meet back in just a few minutes... and nobody has heard anything
from him since. And it takes place out in the big lava bed which is also a
fascinating area to me.
It's unexpected. You don't even notice it until you get into it and then it's
almost like being in a cross between a desert and a maze. I hope you all join me
as I begin a new story the story of the search for Christopher Ziztewitz.
