Aubrey is my older cousin. I always looked up to her. I was in my junior year of high school when she went missing. I still remember the day my grandpa told me that she didn’t catch her flight home. I think of her everyday. She was truly one of the most beautiful people i’ve ever known. Thank you so much for sharing her story Kyle.

I was hiking in the french Alpes a few years ago and came across a lone lady hiker and after pleasent conversation I ask her her destination and she eventually nice. I suggested a good route but she said she would be ok. I ask her for her phone number so if she got into difficulty she could call me and I'd be there to help or alert the relevant people. After a week past I heard nothing and thought nothing of it. After the second week I was in a cafe in small village when the phone rang and it was a male voice asking if the lady had given me her number which I replied yes. The next moment a woman's voice came across thanking me for my concern and that her and her boyfriend invited me to lunch in nice and it was fantastic.we have all been friends ever since. It doesn't hurt to be concerned and sometimes be fruitful. Take care All.

if anybody believes that the army in Nepal is a safer place than being around the local people, he is totally wrong. Village people got their life organized, the army is a place where young men of all kinds, even villains, spend a difficult time, away from home and family. Western women among them are never ignored. And that is the reason why western woman take a great risk when they travel alone in areas where it is easy to let bodies disappear

I'm a woman in the Pacific Northwest. I love it, I love the rain forests, the ocean, the mountains. I would love to go into the forest and camp solo. But it just isn't safe. I don't worry about wildlife. It's the humans that will kill you.

Sadly, being a solo woman in that part of the world (in many parts of the world) is incredibly dangerous. As a woman who has traveled alone (Pakistan and parts of India in the 90's) I would urge any woman to regard that part of the world as a no-go zone. Just don't! Unless you are traveling with a trusted man or male partner it is not safe. No joke.

I trekked the Himalyas for about 112 miles (not long). I was with 10 men plus a Sherpa and his crew. I broke out for a bathroom break while everyone waited for me. Out of nowhere 2 gross men approached me in a very menacing way. Thankfully, I had a bunch of people with me but dude ... Don't hike alone and especially as a female. Cultures and the views on women are varied and even with a team of men with me i was still vulnerable.

I grew up with Aubrey in Greeley, Colorado, from elementary school through high school. She was an incredible person and a close friend of my cousin. Aubrey and my cousin were a part of the popular girls one year older than myself and my friends. She always made a point to say hello to me because I was Shoni's cousin, usually before Shoni even. This made me cooler in my friends eyes in middle school and high school because Aubrey and the popular older girls would always talk to me. The last time I saw her in person was my freshman year of college, her sophomore year at CU. The world lost an incredible person. Every time I see a dragonfly, I think of her.

Old Alaskan proverb, "Go alone, don't come home".👋🏻☠️

We hike in groups of no less than four and as many as a dozen. It’s a group we formed years ago at the gym. I’m female and I love hiking and would prefer to be alone but it’s just not safe, and it turned out I wasn’t the only person who felt that way. We meet on Sunday mornings to go solo hiking together. The only commitments are be on time to the meeting point, keep in easy vocal range so we hear if someone is in distress, and leave each other alone. We don’t chat, we eat alone, etc. and it works out surprisingly well. I wish groups like ours would catch on globally when I hear stories like this.

The first thing I learned as a hiking guide was to never hike alone. Regardless of your skills, unless you have to go alone for some reason, bring a friend or guide. I wish we lived in a world where we could hike alone safely, but as a professional, it is not worth the risk.

I would hate to die in a high profile way. Because in then thousands of people feel it’s their obligation and entitlement to judge and discuss every aspect of one’s life and decisions before they died, for entertainment purposes.

[TheGigergal]

If you're female NEVER trek in the himalayas alone, or anywhere remote for that matter, always use a local guide. People tend to think these Buddhist countries are safe, and while the majority of the population are super lovely, you get bad people in every country. It's a beautiful country, beautiful people but please be sensible and be safe. And that goes for male trekkers too. The himachal areas are remote and the weather can change suddenly, and there are always dangers Namaste

[truter]

Not only females. Solo male, and I'm not a small guy. I'm large and ugly enough to scare off most animals. Not humans, though. Been robbed at gunpoint more than once

The worse thing has got to be losing a child and not knowing what happened, not knowing if they're even dead or are being abused. I hope the family gets some closure one day.

[cpruns]

2 things to comment on here. 1 - When the locals say to you "It's too late in the day to make that trek" you listen to them. Always listen to the locals wherever you go (within reason of course). 2 - You would think that in a country like Nepal where (I don't know the number) 50% of their income relies on tourists the government would have a "don't mess with" policy on tourists and take any acts against tourists (from anywhere) very very seriously. This is such a frustrating story and I feel so sorry for the family. I have 2 kids and I can't even take my mind there. So very sorry.

You should be able to go anywhere alone but this isn’t the world we live in. Never go alone

[connie]

I'm a solo female traveler, and I have backpacked alone in this country and in the UK & western Europe. Honestly, even though I didn't encounter any serious problems, I also avoided having conversations, if possible, particularly with men. Women alone are subject to problems they wouldn't encounter in a group or if they were male instead of female. I'm not blaming this young woman, but it is a cautionary tale. Don't travel to the wilderness anywhere alone. I was lucky. I could easily have disappeared as well.

[searaph]

As a woman who loves to travel, there are still some areas that I would never consider going by myself. The world unfortunately still has its share of horrible people.

I love that your channel has turned into a hiking-crime-investigative videos

[paulasmith]

The world has never been a safe place. It's not even 100%safe to go to Walmart by yourself. Sadly, there are is always people who want to do you harm. I feel so bad for that poor woman. She should have been perfectly safe.
