The Joe Rogan Experience
I don't know if I told you this story, but, um, well, actually, like, my wife
was lost one time.
That's actually, um, and, uh, I actually didn't think that I was going to find
her alive.
So that was actually probably one of the worst outdoor experiences that ended
up turning out good.
Saved your life, but, um, it wasn't for my own sake.
How you met her?
No, it wasn't how I met her.
So you'd already met her, and then...
Yeah, I'd met her, we dated, um,
like, she was a little, she's younger than me, and, uh, like, I'm traveling.
She had moved away, and then we just kind of, like, went apart, and we were
going to get back together.
Uh, this was, like, a couple years after, so we were, we were no, we were not
actually dating at the time.
Um, but I, I was on a trip in Alaska.
I just got back, and then her sister called me, and was like, Danielle's
missing, and we, uh,
and, and, like, you know, one of those, like, nobody can find her, and, like,
maybe I have the skill set to go help out in some way.
And so I, like, literally, I just, I, I was unpacking all this.
I was doing a film thing in Alaska.
I just got in, maybe five minutes into my house.
I just left all my shit.
I called my brother and my friend, and was like, Danielle's missing, we're
gonna go.
So we, we gathered up our stuff, and, uh, drove.
She was in central Nevada.
She was visiting her dad, and, like, just, um, gone out on a trail and never
came back.
And so it was, like, it was, it's like the high desert, mid, mid, midsummer.
So it was, you know, like, pretty hot in the daytime, really cold at night,
really high elevation kind of thing.
And I think she'd been missing for, this would be going on her third day.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
And, um, so I was like, oh, shit.
And there was a, so we got there, and there had been, like, a Facebook group,
and they, they, they had the Blackhawk helicopters out looking, couldn't find
her, search and rescue.
They did the dog thing, everything.
And, uh, so I got there.
It was, like, probably 5 p.m., still daylight when I got there.
And, uh, we get, we get there and, um, kind of talk to a search and rescue, and
I'm like, they're, one of the guys kind of recognized me, knew I was, and what
I did.
And I, I had my whole pack, like, I was ready to glass.
Like, we were going to just, normally on search and rescue things, like, they
want people out of the area, but they knew that I knew what I was doing.
So they let us in to help.
And, um, so kind of met with them, talked to them.
There was a Facebook group thing of, like, what they'd seen.
And there was this report of a vehicle with, like, Mexico plates leaving the
area.
And I don't know, like, why, how, you know, she started, like, people start
saying, like, okay, I saw her last wearing this.
So she, the last she'd been seen, she was just wearing, like, running stuff.
Uh, didn't have any equipment with her.
She'd gone up.
And then the search and rescue dogs, like, they went up the canyon, and then
they came back.
And they did that multiple times.
So the theory was, like, she went up, came back, and then people were, they
were, actually had kind of thought, since they put in a search effort, that she
was gone, like, taken.
So, you know, that, that kind of shit's in your mind, too, right?
Right.
So you're like, okay.
Because they saw a Mexico plate.
Yeah, and I'm like, I don't know why, you know, why that would, but.
Kidnapping.
Yeah, something, right?
Right.
Because they had the, you know, they were working under the assumption that she
wasn't there, like, out there.
Right.
So, you know, they kind of asked, like, they do, like, a little interview, like,
you know, how far do you think she's going?
I was like, well, she trains for marathons.
Like, she could be 20 miles from this point.
We don't really know, you know?
We don't know what happened either.
Like, she could have fallen, broke, like, we just don't know what happened.
Yeah.
So they showed us where the dogs were, had gone, and where they'd inspected and
everything.
And I thought, I was like, you know, my initial, like, the way that I think was
like, well, whatever you guys have done didn't work, right?
So I'm just going to kind of take the things that you've said and just, and
look at it through a lens of, like, that didn't work.
So I got it.
We've got to just try something different.
So I loaded up my pack, and I had, like, all my optics, everything.
And I was just like, my thought was, I'm just going to go out there.
And part of it, too, I was kind of like a wreck in some ways where, like, I'm
not just going to sit around and do nothing.
Right.
So it's starting to get dark at this point.
And my thought was, like, I'm not coming back until I find something.
So I just loaded up my pack like I'm going on a backcountry hunt with all my
shit and just go back there and see what I can do.
And I wanted to be, it was good in nighttime, so I wanted to be, like, ready
first thing in the morning, thinking before that light gets harsh and she's in
the shade.
Like, if you're trying to survive in the desert when it's super cold at night,
so you're probably moving around to stay warm.
And then in the morning, you'd probably still be moving around.
But once it gets daytime, then you're probably in the heat and you're in the
shade.
So there was the guy – so they had Blackhawk, and it had to go back because
it had timed out.
Like, it needed fuel there at that point.
And they were searching in the middle of the day, which I thought, you know, it
would be better to search in the evening after the heat on the rocks cools off
a little bit.
And you can use a FLIR system, like thermals, because everything in the desert
cools down so fast that you might be able to find her at night using a thermal
system.
So I asked the guy if we could get a thermal FLIR system, and so they were
working on getting something.
And so I had one of the guys take me into the back, and I just said, like,
drive me as far.
They had, like, these little Ranger things in the whole – or, you know, like
an off-road vehicle, like Polaris.
Yeah.
Yeah, or Can-Am or whatever.
So I was like, just drive me as far back as you can.
I was like, drive me back.
And now it's starting to get dark, and I had a big flashlight.
And I just, like, looked at it before it got dark, and just looking around, I
was like, oh, I'd probably go up here.
No trail.
I was like, man, we've hiked all over the world together.
No trails.
We never go on trails.
So I just thought, I'll start going here.
And now – but at this point, it's dark, and I just started hiking in the dark
up this canyon.
And it's probably – maybe – probably close to midnight at this point.
And I was thinking about, you know, like a lot of shit's going through my head,
thinking, man, what's it going to be like if I find her dead?
And, okay, like, am I prepared for this?
Or what if I – and the thing that really, like, messed me up was what if I
never find her?
Like, I just couldn't – and these things, like, kept going through my head.
And I'm literally in the dark.
And there's no moon at all, just hiking in the dark.
I, like, just stopped.
And I just – I, like, felt very, very, very helpless.
And I'm, like, literally praying for a sign of some kind.
And I look down, and there's this weird scuff mark.
And I'm, like – I just keyed in on it.
In – randomly walking in the dark.
And there's deer tracks everywhere.
And I just started, like, following this one track.
And it just didn't look right.
But it's not, like, the kind of ground where you can see tracks.
You know, I inspected it.
I didn't see shoes.
And I get up to this, like, flat bench area.
And I just have this weird feeling.
And I'm, like – and then I saw a light on the top of the mountain.
So I thought, oh, man, maybe that's – somebody had come in, hiked in with,
like, thermals.
And I can use that to then look for her.
And I'll come back to this area.
So I call my brother and my buddy on the radio.
I'm, like, hey, you know, I'm up here.
And they were around – they were looking around the rocks where the dogs had
turned around,
thinking maybe she went up there, fell into something, and got stuck in, like,
places people –
normal search and rescue wasn't going to look.
So they were looking in kind of those areas.
So I hike up to where the light was on the hill.
And it happened to just be, like, people that were in the area, like, a couple
that were just, like, whatever, camping.
And, you know, I was, like, hey – you know, I talked to him.
I was, like, hey, here's a picture.
Have you seen this person?
No, we haven't seen anything.
I was, like, cool.
You know, like, the area's kind of closed down right now, just so you know
because they're looking for – like, cool, keep an eye out.
And so now I'm away from that spot.
And I just, like – I started to think about it.
And I was, like – I called my brother and buddy.
And they're, like, yeah, you know, we don't see anything around here.
Like, maybe we'll start first thing in the morning.
And I was, like, okay.
You know, I'm going to stay up here and I'm going to go back to this spot.
I'm just going to camp out up here or whatever.
But I got to go check this spot first.
So I walk back to that, like, little bench thing.
And I sit down.
I turn off my light.
And I just yell out.
I'm, like, hey, Danielle, this is Remy.
If you can hear me, I'm not leaving until I find you.
And I'm just, like, sitting there.
And then I hear, Remy?
And I was, like, oh, shit.
And it was so faint.
I was thinking to myself, did I just, like – did I actually hear that?
So I had my radio.
And I called my brother and friend.
And I said, hey, I just heard her.
I'm going to turn my radio off in case that maybe that's, like, I'm only going
to hear her one more time.
I'm going to turn my radio off.
Get somebody up here.
So – and I just said that over the radio because I didn't want the radio
going off for some random reason while the next time she said something or
whatever.
So I flipped the radio off.
And I just started, like, moving in that direction where I heard something.
And I yelled out again and didn't hear anything and then kept moving and yelled
out again.
And when I – before it got dark, I remember, like, it was this big basin,
almost like an amphitheater kind of shape, right?
And on the top side was all these cliffs and everything.
So I thought, well, maybe I heard it across the canyon.
And she fell into one of those cliffs.
So I'm, like, moving in that direction.
But I'm trying to move, like – you know when you're chasing an elk and it's
like that – you've got to run, but you can't run loud.
Right.
And you're, like, that stalking, running, like, trying to be quiet.
Because it was very, very faint and still I'm partially thinking I'm going
crazy.
And so I get up to that – I keep going and I yell.
I'm, like, Danielle, can you hear me?
And then I hear, Remy?
Or I heard her – yeah, she actually said my name again.
And I was, like – and I flipped on my light and she was, like, 300 yards
below me.
I was, like, oh, shit.
So I run to her thinking, like, this is crazy.
So I run up to her and she just was, like, so confused.
And she was, like – I think she thought she was, like, hallucinating.
And I was, like, are you okay?
She was, like, I don't know.
And I was, like, do you know who I am?
She was, like, I think so.
I was, like, do you know your – like, just, you know, like, basic first
responder questions.
Like, can you answer some simple questions?
Like, do you know your name?
Like, no.
She didn't know her name.
Like, yeah.
Like, I don't know.
I don't know.
And I'm, like, okay.
And then so I called – I flipped my thing on.
I called my buddy and I was, like, all right.
I found – like, I've got her.
We need, like, paramedics here now.
And so my buddy was – they were probably two or three miles from the base
camp.
My buddy Joe just, like, takes off.
It was just, like, sprinting down to the base camp.
And then my brother is hiking up to me to help her.
And so we tried to – we didn't have service where we were.
And I had lost – I have a satellite messenger, but I left it in the truck.
So my buddy goes down and I think somehow somebody had called whoever, you know,
paramedics and the whole deal.
And so my buddy Joe – this is the funny part – is my buddy Joe runs down to
the search and rescue camp.
And he's, like, Remy Founder, we need to go.
And one of the guys that was kind of in charge is, like, an older guy.
He – not a guy that goes in the field or anything.
Just – he's, like, you know, somebody thought they heard something, but it
could have been a mountain lion.
So we're just going to save our energy for the morning search.
And my buddy Joe is, like – he's, like, fuck you.
I'm commandeering your vehicle.
And he just takes the ranger – the razor thing.
Wow.
And just rips off toward town.
Because, you know, it was, like, to go meet – get some help.
What a cunt.
Yeah, like, I mean, like, who's ever heard – like, we thought we heard
something, but it could have been a mountain lion.
Like, that doesn't even make any sense.
You're saying you have her.
Right.
Yeah, he's, like – he's just, like – you know, I mean –
That's like a scene in a movie where there's this one lazy cop.
Yeah, exactly.
It was just, like – I was, like, this is too crazy.
Like, when he told me that story, I couldn't – I was just rolling laughing.
And also concerned, like, why the fuck would you say it could have been a
mountain lion?
What a dick.
So they go up, and we end up – he gets – meets up with them, and they get
up to the top.
They were able to, like, kind of get up this ridge and then came down with a
stretcher.
And my brother and I were able to, like, you know, do, like, a – help her get
up the mountain.
Did you give her water?
Did she –
Yeah, oh, yeah.
So I gave her water, and I'm, like, here, drink this.
And, like, she – like, as soon as it hit her lip, she, like, spit it out.
She's, like, fire.
Like –
So she was so dehydrated.
So dehydrated that, like, it just started, like, burning.
Like, the water was burning.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so we got her – we got her up to the paramedics and then, obviously, to
the hospital and, like, a pretty extensive rehydration thing.
And, yeah.
And, you know, like, she wasn't feeling good when she went out.
And I think it was just, like, oh, I'm going to go – when you're sick or
whatever, you're just, like, not feeling good.
You go out to do something to feel better.
Probably went beyond capabilities, I think, and woke up and didn't know where
she was.
So she went out kind of sick and thought she was going to sweat it out?
Yeah.
Wow.
Just went on a run.
Yeah.
And then –
Fuck.
Probably – and then, you know, and then just had no clue – had no clue,
like, where she – I think the good thing is when she didn't know where she
was, she didn't go anywhere else.
She stayed put, which is definitely –
Yeah, because you just, like, have no clue where you are.
You don't, like, don't know where to start going.
They would have never found her if it wasn't for you.
I don't think so.
Wow.
I don't know.
Dude, she owes you.
Yeah.
Well, now we're married.
That's how I got her back.
I was, like, it's a solid way to win an argument.
You know, like, I think we should – I definitely think we should go here for
dinner.
Like, no, I'm not really feeling that.
But remember that time I saved your life?
Wow.
Yeah.
Talk about a bond.
Yeah.
Like, you guys have a bond forever.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah, it's a pretty – I don't know.
That's a crazy bond.
That's a crazy bond.
Yeah.
The fact that you found her.

I don't know if I told you this story, but, um, well, actually, like, my wife

That's actually, um, and, uh, I actually didn't think that I was going to find

So that was actually probably one of the worst outdoor experiences that ended

How you met her?
No, it wasn't how I met her.
So you'd already met her, and then...
Yeah, I'd met her, we dated, um,
like, she was a little, she's younger than me, and, uh, like, I'm traveling.
She had moved away, and then we just kind of, like, went apart, and we were
going to get back together.
Uh, this was, like, a couple years after, so we were, we were no, we were not
actually dating at the time.
Um, but I, I was on a trip in Alaska.
I just got back, and then her sister called me, and was like, Danielle's
missing, and we, uh,
and, and, like, you know, one of those, like, nobody can find her, and, like,
maybe I have the skill set to go help out in some way.

And I think she'd been missing for, this would be going on her third day.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
And, um, so I was like, oh, shit.
And there was a, so we got there, and there had been, like, a Facebook group,
and they, they, they had the Blackhawk helicopters out looking, couldn't find

They did the dog thing, everything.
And, uh, so I got there.
It was, like, probably 5 p.m., still daylight when I got there.
And, uh, we get, we get there and, um, kind of talk to a search and rescue, and
I'm like, they're, one of the guys kind of recognized me, knew I was, and what

So they let us in to help.
And, um, so kind of met with them, talked to them.
There was a Facebook group thing of, like, what they'd seen.
And there was this report of a vehicle with, like, Mexico plates leaving the
area.
And I don't know, like, why, how, you know, she started, like, people start

So she, the last she'd been seen, she was just wearing, like, running stuff.

So, you know, that, that kind of shit's in your mind, too, right?
Right.
So you're like, okay.
Because they saw a Mexico plate.
Yeah, and I'm like, I don't know why, you know, why that would, but.
Kidnapping.
Yeah, something, right?
Right.
Because they had the, you know, they were working under the assumption that she
wasn't there, like, out there.
Right.
So, you know, they kind of asked, like, they do, like, a little interview, like,
you know, how far do you think she's going?
I was like, well, she trains for marathons.
Like, she could be 20 miles from this point.
We don't really know, you know?
We don't know what happened either.
Like, she could have fallen, broke, like, we just don't know what happened.
Yeah.
So they showed us where the dogs were, had gone, and where they'd inspected and
everything.
And I thought, I was like, you know, my initial, like, the way that I think was

And there's no moon at all, just hiking in the dark.
I, like, just stopped.
And I just – I, like, felt very, very, very helpless.
And I'm, like, literally praying for a sign of some kind.
And I look down, and there's this weird scuff mark.

So I thought, oh, man, maybe that's – somebody had come in, hiked in with,
like, thermals.
And I can use that to then look for her.
And I'll come back to this area.
So I call my brother and my buddy on the radio.
I'm, like, hey, you know, I'm up here.
And they were around – they were looking around the rocks where the dogs had
turned around,
thinking maybe she went up there, fell into something, and got stuck in, like,
places people –
normal search and rescue wasn't going to look.
So they were looking in kind of those areas.
So I hike up to where the light was on the hill.
And it happened to just be, like, people that were in the area, like, a couple
that were just, like, whatever, camping.
And, you know, I was, like, hey – you know, I talked to him.
I was, like, hey, here's a picture.
Have you seen this person?
No, we haven't seen anything.
I was, like, cool.
You know, like, the area's kind of closed down right now, just so you know
because they're looking for – like, cool, keep an eye out.
And so now I'm away from that spot.
And I just, like – I started to think about it.
And I was, like – I called my brother and buddy.
And they're, like, yeah, you know, we don't see anything around here.
Like, maybe we'll start first thing in the morning.
And I was, like, okay.
You know, I'm going to stay up here and I'm going to go back to this spot.
I'm just going to camp out up here or whatever.
But I got to go check this spot first.
So I walk back to that, like, little bench thing.
And I sit down.
I turn off my light.
And I just yell out.
I'm, like, hey, Danielle, this is Remy.
If you can hear me, I'm not leaving until I find you.
And I'm just, like, sitting there.
And then I hear, Remy?
And I was, like, oh, shit.
And it was so faint.
I was thinking to myself, did I just, like – did I actually hear that?
So I had my radio.
And I called my brother and friend.
And I said, hey, I just heard her.
I'm going to turn my radio off in case that maybe that's, like, I'm only going
to hear her one more time.
I'm going to turn my radio off.
Get somebody up here.
So – and I just said that over the radio because I didn't want the radio
going off for some random reason while the next time she said something or
whatever.
So I flipped the radio off.
And I just started, like, moving in that direction where I heard something.
And I yelled out again and didn't hear anything and then kept moving and yelled
out again.
And when I – before it got dark, I remember, like, it was this big basin,
almost like an amphitheater kind of shape, right?
And on the top side was all these cliffs and everything.
So I thought, well, maybe I heard it across the canyon.
And she fell into one of those cliffs.
So I'm, like, moving in that direction.
But I'm trying to move, like – you know when you're chasing an elk and it's
like that – you've got to run, but you can't run loud.
Right.
And you're, like, that stalking, running, like, trying to be quiet.
Because it was very, very faint and still I'm partially thinking I'm going
crazy.
And so I get up to that – I keep going and I yell.
I'm, like, Danielle, can you hear me?

I was, like, oh, shit.
So I run to her thinking, like, this is crazy.
So I run up to her and she just was, like, so confused.
And she was, like – I think she thought she was, like, hallucinating.
And I was, like, are you okay?
She was, like, I don't know.
And I was, like, do you know who I am?
She was, like, I think so.
I was, like, do you know your – like, just, you know, like, basic first
responder questions.
Like, can you answer some simple questions?
Like, do you know your name?
Like, no.
She didn't know her name.
Like, yeah.
Like, I don't know.
I don't know.
And I'm, like, okay.
And then so I called – I flipped my thing on.
I called my buddy and I was, like, all right.
I found – like, I've got her.
We need, like, paramedics here now.
And so my buddy was – they were probably two or three miles from the base
camp.
My buddy Joe just, like, takes off.
It was just, like, sprinting down to the base camp.
And then my bro
