In an area that spans Vegas, Reno, and Fresno, 2,000 planes and people have gone missing, which is why this area has become known as the infamous Nevada Triangle.

Now, you may be rolling your eyes, oh, what's the Nevada Triangle?

The Teemu version of the Bermuda Triangle?

I know, I did too.

But believe it or not, Bermuda's Pythagorean terror has nothing on Nevada's.

The Bermuda Triangle, which by the way, when I was a kid, I thought this was like the scariest place in the world.

I didn't know if it was real or magical.

And it's an area spanning Puerto Rico, Florida, and of course, Bermuda.

And it is probably the most infamous stretch of ocean.

According to some counts, about 20 planes and 50 boats have disappeared in its vortex since the 1800s.

Those 2,000 Nevada Triangle disappearances, those all happened in the last 60 years, about three a month.

And that's just what we're aware of.

Remember those eight crash planes that weren't reported until the search for Fawcett?

There could be more out there.

Speaking of, those eight aircraft prove that Fawcett's rescue team conducted a thorough search.

They sifted through the Sierra's rugged mountains, terrain, wildlife, and didn't find him.

On October 2nd, about a month after he vanished, the search was called off.

About six months later, Fawcett was declared dead by a Chicago court, a victim of the Nevada Triangle.

But he wasn't lost forever, at least a small part of him wasn't.

A year after Fawcett vanished, hiker Preston Morrow stumbled across Fawcett's ID and a wad of $100 bills in the Sierras.
