Death Valley sits at the northern end of the Mojave Desert, tucked between the Panamint and the Amargosa mountain ranges.

And it holds the record for the highest reliably recorded air temperature ever measured on the surface of the earth.

The valley floor drops to 282 feet below sea level at its lowest point.

And the combination of that depth, the reflective salt flats at its base, and the surrounding mountains that trap the air and prevent any meaningful circulation, and the almost total absence of vegetation or moisture, creates a heat environment that operates on a different scale than most people have any intuitive framework for.

pretty hot and the park service manages the land and they do their best to keep visitors safe but the valley is enormous over 3 000 square miles and there are corners of it so isolated that a person could be in serious trouble and be essentially invisible to the rest of the world

So on the afternoon of July 23rd, 1996, a woman named Cornelia Meyer paused inside a stone cabin deep in the back country of Death Valley and picked up a pen.

And the cabin had a guest log, the kind that remote wilderness shelters keep as a record of passing visitors.

And she wrote a few lines in German, her name, the names of her family, and where they were headed next.

But no one would ever see them again.

Today, we are talking about a very strange case, one that'll keep you on the edge of your seat.

So without further ado, let's unbuckle our seatbelt, go Mach 5 down the highway, slam on the brakes, and bust through the windshield into this mysterious case together.

Let's take a quick pause to talk about something that you should never cheap out on.

Because it's the thing you spend eight hours a night on.

And the thing you should be spending eight hours a night on is definitely one of them.

Especially when you're up half the night listening to yours truly.

And I'm talking about your mattress.

And you deserve the best, so I'm specifically talking about Casper.

Thank you so much to Casper for sponsoring this video.
