Summary
In today's episode, we're traveling deep into the mist-covered mountains of Malaysia to examine one of the twentieth century's most baffling disappearances. In 1967, a man known around the world as the "Thai Silk King" stepped out for a simple afternoon walk and was never seen again. Despite one of the largest search operations ever conducted in Southeast Asia, investigators never found a body, a clear trail, or a definitive answer.
