Blood Trails

Ep. 6: What Happened to Aaron Hedges?

04 Dec 2025

Description

This story begins in the wild, unforgiving mountains of Montana. In September of 2014, 38-year-old Aaron Hedges set out with friends for a weeklong elk hunt in the Crazy Mountains. But when he left camp to retrieve supplies from a nearby cache, those friends never saw him again. But instead of searching for him, they went home--right as a snowstorm hit. Search and rescue teams were unable to locate the missing hunter. All they found were a few pieces of gear, including his boots, but no trace of Aaron Hedges. His remains were eventually found miles from where he was supposed to be, but the mystery only deepened. Did Aaron lose his way in the vast, punishing wilderness, or was something far more sinister waiting in the shadows? In this episode of Blood Trails, host Jordan Sillars explores how the line between accident and foul play is thinner than you think. Want more Blood Trails? Check out the Case File.
