Oregon Pipe Cactus National Monument: A Mysterious Disappearance
In 1971, Carol Turner, a graduate student in biology and zoology at the University of New Mexico, arrived at Oregon Pipe Cactus National Monument for a summer research project.
Turner was a brilliant and ambitious young woman. She was passionate about her work and eager to make a difference in the world.
On January 31, 1971, Turner checked into the visitor center and told the ranger that she was going to be hiking in the backcountry. She was never seen or heard from again.
Turner's disappearance was a shock to her family and friends. She was a responsible and experienced hiker, and she would never have gone off without telling anyone where she was going.
A massive search was launched, but Turner was nowhere to be found. Her backpack and other belongings were discovered at her campsite, but there was no sign of her.
The case of Carol Turner remains unsolved to this day.
