Student Vanishes, Wakes Up 700 Miles Away 15 Months Later With No Memory | Steven Kubacki

In February 1978, Steven Kubacki (23) disappeared whilst cross-country skiing near Lake Michigan. His footprints led to the frozen lake's edge and stopped. Authorities concluded he'd drowned. Fifteen months later, on 5 May 1979, Steven woke up in a field in Pittsfield, Massachusetts—720 miles from where he vanished—wearing unfamiliar clothes with a backpack full of maps showing travel across multiple states. He had no memory of the missing time. Medical experts suggested dissociative fugue. Steven completed his degree, earned a Ph.D. in linguistics, became a psychologist, and has refused to discuss his disappearance for decades. The case remains one of America's most baffling unexplained reappearances. Lake Michigan Triangle connection explored.You can get early and ad free access to this show and more here Hosted on Acast.
