Presentation: Adam Fox, Mountaineer and writer Adam Doc Fox works in Ohio for Source Media Properties and has just completed highpointing the lower 48 states. (Climbing to the highest point in each state.)
Undergrad at the University of Cincinnati, then Fox moved to Spain, Colorado and San Diego, before coming back home to Ohio. Fox has done graduate non degree work at Ohio State and Harvard.
Fox has been in the thank you credits for films that have premiered at Sundance, SXSW and Tribeca.
His cold case work on the Dyatlov Pass landed him on the History Channel's "History's Greatest Mysteries," explaining his theory as to what happened to the dead hikers.
Happily married to his cellmate and they have two young boys.
Description: Nine explorers died in the Ural Mountains of Siberia in February of 1959. The bizarre way in which they perished has been tied to UFOs, KGB/CIA conspiracies, murder by the natives, infrasound, avalanches and a Yeti, to name a few theories.
What would make nine experienced hikers cut a hole in their tent, leave coats, hats, boots and survival gear behind and walk single file, down a tundra slope for a mile, in the middle of the night, to the treeline in absolutely brutal weather?
The horrific injuries we see later couldn’t have happened then, there’s no way they could have walked down a mile with skull fractures and all that brutality. The team had to have known it was a death sentence to leave all that gear behind in the Siberian winter with those temperatures and that wind chill.
