Lost in the Wild - Season 1, Episode 03: Secrets to Die For

In each one-hour episode, filmmaker and explorer J.J. Kelley and journalist Kinga Philipps retrace the harrowing steps of adventurers whose journeys took an unexpected turn for the worse. Picking up where the official investigation has ended, the duo sets off on foot to follow the path they believe will lead them to answers, interviewing witnesses and locals along the way. From trekking deep in the Amazon jungle in search of idealists looking for a lost city to climbing a treacherous mountain in Africa where dozens have vanished, the duo combine their wilderness and sleuthing skills to navigate their way toward the truth. Confronted with risky and uncertain situations, they test their own limits to investigate missed clues and new evidence behind these baffling cases. 'I've spent my life documenting the underbelly of the world, and the truth is always a few layers deep,' said Kelley. 'The answers to these stories may lie far off the beaten path, in a place where others didn't think - or dare - to look before. And that's where Kinga and I are headed.' 'As a journalist and avid explorer, I readily dive headfirst into uncharted territory and take the unmarked road in order to reach new grounds,' notes Philipps. 'Between our investigative nature, wilderness expertise and relentless determination, J.J. and I will go as far as we can to find closure.'
