Peter Jackson Missing Person Case

Peter Jackson, a 74-year-old experienced hiker, went missing on September 17, 2016, during a solo camping trip at Yosemite National Park. He was staying at White Wolf Campground, where he had paid for his campsite through September 21. On September 17, he sent a text message to his son, stating he was on his way to Yosemite, but he was not heard from again after that message. His vehicle and campsite were found undisturbed at site #58 in the White Wolf Campground, but there was no sign of Jackson.

Peter was known to hike moderate to strenuous trails, typically about five miles in length. He was in excellent physical condition and carried a blue Outdoor Products daypack, although it was not found at his campsite. Despite an extensive search, which included both ground and aerial efforts, no trace of Jackson was found. The formal search was scaled back by early October 2016, but his case remains open, with authorities believing he may have become lost or injured during his hike.

In August 2019, Jackson's backpack was discovered between Aspen Valley and Smith Peak, but no additional clues have been uncovered since.
