In April 2021, Alexander and Emily's trip through the dirt roads of Death Valley ground to a halt due to 2 blown tires. Leaving a note on the dashboard with a 3-day survival estimate, they attempted to cross the rugged Black Mountains on foot. Their blind route led them into a narrow canyon directly above a 7-story drop-off, completely cutting off their only escape.

On WILDCASE you'll find real survival stories in the wild, deep dives into mysterious disappearances and true wilderness tragedies that actually happened — to real people, in real forests, mountains, and rivers. In every episode we reconstruct the chain of events step by step and break down these true stories of survival and death: who these people were, what they carried with them, where the first unnoticed wrong turn happened, and the exact moment the wilderness left them no way back. We don't just examine the mistakes — we dig into the psychology behind the decisions: why experienced hikers, tourists, and ordinary families end up in situations that cost them everything. These are stories about survival, about a person alone against the wild, and about the thin line where an ordinary hike turns into a fight for life.
