概要
The Jacket in the Spruce: Why He Came Back Alive and Alone

The first sign was a bright orange jacket seven feet up a spruce, sleeves outstretched, a single wool sock tied below it, and two ski poles pressed upright in the snow - all found where no one expected them. Clifford Wallace had already been found alive the day before; who had climbed a tree in negative thirty-four degree cold with a leg that barely held weight and left that tableau for someone to find?

In this episode, we follow the timeline from the missing-person call through the early search: the empty pickup, the untouched touring skis, the team sweeps, and the final discovery in the river corridor. What choices and hardships created the scene in the spruce, and what does it reveal about survival on the Kettrick River?

Person: Clifford Wallace
Date: December 5-9, 2019
Location: Kettrick River corridor, near Larkin Falls
Temperature: down to -34 °F (-34 degrees Fahrenheit)
Search resources: 12 volunteers and a state helicopter aerial sweep

- Clifford was 28 years old and worked as a calibration technician in Dunbar.
- He left home in ski gear and the roommate reported one pair of backcountry mountain skis missing from the basement rack.
- Clifford’s green pickup remained in Evelyn Wallace’s driveway and the touring skis in the rack were untouched.
- Deputies delayed a formal missing-person report after 24 hours following standard protocol; Evelyn had called the sheriff at 8:00 PM on December 5.
- Denise Bishop found the jacket, sock, and two ski poles on the east bank of the Kettrick River on the morning of Monday, December 9, 2019.
