Hikers, off the Ozark Trail, which runs through that part of the forest.
Solo guys, both of them.
Nobody to miss them right away.
The man at the bottom of the sinkhole had a name and a record.
It came back fast once they ran his prints.
I'm not going to say his name because it doesn't matter, and because his family didn't ask for any of this.
He'd been arrested twice in two different states for things that did not lead to convictions, both involving people who'd disappeared while doing things outside.
He'd been working seasonal jobs in the Ozarks for almost ten years, cabin maintenance, trail clearing.
Stuff that gave him reason to be in the woods and access to who was in the woods with him.
They figured he'd been using Site 17 as his processing site, if that's the right word for it, for two summers.
Maybe longer.
The camp had been set up to look the part of a long-stay hunting operation, so that if anybody stumbled onto it the way I did, his story would already be ready.
He had paperwork in the duffel that named him as somebody he wasn't.
fishing license, a campsite use sheet, even a fake business card for a guide outfit that didn't exist.
The investigator told me they found more than just the burn pile.
About a quarter mile north of the camp, up in the limestone, there was a small cave with a narrow opening that you would not have found if you weren't looking for it.
Inside the cave were three plastic tubs.
The tubs held wallets and watches and rings and driver's licenses and small things people carry.
There were items in those tubs from at least nine different people.
Some of the licenses went back four years.
