概要
What happens when a man vanishes into the "shadow economy" of a Caribbean island? And what happens when we find the missing, but no one comes to claim them?
In this episode of Deep Dive, we connect three seemingly unrelated documents to uncover a harrowing reality. We start with the mysterious 2025 disappearance of Thomas Vasquez from a marijuana farm in Antigua—a case that exposes the terrifying gaps in international safety nets.
Then, we crack open the NamUs (National Missing and Unidentified Persons System) Report, revealing shocking statistics that defy pop-culture narratives (like why the majority of the missing are actually men). Finally, we head to Oregon to examine the SPIRE Grant, looking at the futuristic "Rescue Robots"—like thermal drones and EMILY the robotic lifeguard—being deployed to solve these tragedies.
We discuss:
The "Jurisdictional Black Hole" of tribal vs. federal land.
How thermal imaging is changing search and rescue.
The heartbreaking reality of the "Unclaimed"—18,000+ identified bodies that families simply cannot afford to bury.
Join us as we explore whether our technology is outpacing our humanity.
