Terrence Shamel Woods Jr., 26, vanished on October 5, 2018 while working as a television production assistant on a Discovery Channel documentary shoot near Orogrande, Idaho. He was part of a 12-person crew filming in remote, steep terrain in the Nez Perce National Forest near the Penman Mine. That day crew members say Woods behaved unusually, attempting to grab a drone and suffering an apparent anxiety attack. He told a local woman he needed to use the bathroom, then dropped his radio and belt and ran down a steep cliff into the forest, disappearing from view.

The Idaho County Sheriff’s Office was notified at 6:41 p.m.; the search began the next day. Ground teams, dog teams and helicopters with heat-detection technology searched for six days before the operation was called off. Investigators have said there is no evidence of foul play and the case remains open. The family has raised questions about the production crew’s account, the condition of Woods’ packed belongings and whether racial dynamics on set played a role. As of July 2025 Woods remains missing.

Does anyone who worked on that shoot or was in the Orogrande area in October 2018 have information that could help clarify what happened?
