New details about the disappearance of Chris Palmer, a 39-year-old Arkansas man on a camping trip in several East Coast national forests, have been revealed.
On January 12, National Park Service (NPS) rangers discovered Palmer’s red 2017 Ford F-250 bogged down in the sand on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore near Buxton, nearly six hours southeast of the direction Palmer last told his family he was traveling. Surveillance footage reviewed by investigators shows a blue and white kayak in the truck bed when it was in Dare County, but that kayak was not present when officers located the vehicle.
