00:0047-year-old Kenny Veach told his family he was going hiking for two days.

00:05His destination? The Mojave Desert.

00:08The man wanted to revisit a cave he had discovered during one of his previous hikes.

00:13But that was the last time anyone had seen Kenny Veach.

00:18A helicopter and over 30 search and rescue teams came back empty.

00:22The hiker was nowhere to be found.

00:25Was the mysterious M-cave behind his disappearance?

00:28The oddest thing about Kenny's case is the fact that he was a seasoned hiker.

00:33He often went on solo trips to explore deserts in California and Nevada.

00:38The man was an ultralight hiker.

00:41That meant he brought only the most basic of supplies – water, food and a tent. That's all.

00:47But this was enough for several days of camping in the desert.

00:51Kenny would rarely bring a GPS device with him.

00:54He didn't even bother to pack a compass or a map.

00:57Some would call him reckless, but he managed to get back home every single time.

01:03Kenny wasn't shy either.

01:05He had a YouTube channel where he regularly posted his adventures.

01:09He named his channel SnakeBitMcGee because he picked up snakes wherever he went.

01:14But Kenny also had another habit.

01:17He went into every cave he found in the desert.

01:20Now, he didn't post many videos.

01:22Kenny mostly used YouTube to comment on other people's adventures.

01:26In a comment from June 2014, the man revealed that he had discovered a mysterious M-shaped cave.

01:33It was located in the Sheep Mountains of North Las Vegas.

01:37Kenny's description of the cave is where the weird part of the story begins.

01:41He spotted it while hiking and noticed the cave had an interesting entrance.

01:46It was shaped like a perfect letter M.

01:49Kenny went up to it, but something didn't seem right.

01:52He reported that his body started to shake as he approached the cave.

01:56The vibrations were so strong near the entrance that Kenny turned back.

02:00In his own words, he was scared for his life.

02:03It must have really been something if it frightened an experienced trekker.

02:07Kenny had an impressive track record.

02:10He had been hiking for 20 years.

02:12He explored caves other people were too afraid to even enter.

02:16Once, he was bitten by a rattlesnake and had to spend a week in the hospital.

02:21On his journeys, the man found skulls of all shapes and sizes, as well as old animal traps.

02:28Kenny slept on mountain peaks under the stars.

02:31One time, he hurt his leg on a mountaintop.

02:34He had to walk 20 miles back to his truck.

02:37It was 100 degrees Fahrenheit that day, and Kenny had one cup of water to keep him going.

02:43Kenny Veach was a true survivalist.

02:46But this one cave was a mystery to him.

02:49He admitted that he was totally unprepared that day.

02:52He had the tools to open a can, but not to fight the mysterious force that took over his body.

02:58But Kenny wasn't a quitter.

03:00He made plans to return to the M cave, and this time, he was going to be ready.

03:05He did so several months later, but much better equipped.

03:09But the trip turned out to be a bust.

03:11He recorded a video, but couldn't find the cave.

03:14Was that it?

03:16Was the brave explorer finally going to quit?

03:19Not by a long shot.

03:21His followers on social media wanted him to solve the mystery.

03:24So he went out into the desert for the third time.

03:27He planned a short overnight trip, but nobody ever saw him again.

03:32After two days, his family alerted the authorities.

03:36They quickly launched a search for the missing man.

03:39Now we come to the weird part.

03:42In one of his videos, Kenny stood in front of an abandoned mine shaft.

03:47This is where he briefed the viewers on the mission.

03:50Rescue teams reached this point and found Kenny's phone.

03:53This was ten days into the search, but the trail soon went cold.

03:58The rescuers feared the worst.

04:00They decided to send a camera down the shaft, but didn't find anything.

04:05For a full month, no one had any idea where Kenny was.

04:09Then, the mystery deepened.

04:11An unknown woman came forward online.

04:14She claimed to be the missing man's girlfriend.

04:17The mysterious woman told the story of how she went with Kenny on hour-long hikes.

04:22She urged hikers to use GPS not to get lost.

04:26And then, a claim that shocked social media users.

04:29The woman believed Kenny's disappearance wasn't an accident.

04:33She revealed that her alleged boyfriend had some serious issues.

04:37Apparently, he had quit his job a year prior to his disappearance.

04:41Did Kenny Veach really trek into the desert to take his own life?

04:45People weren't convinced.

04:47Kenny's daughter believed her father just had an accident.

04:51In her words, he was a survivor.

04:53Was the mysterious M-cave responsible for his disappearance?

04:57Did he find someone or something he shouldn't have found there?

05:01The questions linger, and so did the theories among the online community.

05:05Fellow hikers and YouTubers were determined to find the M-cave.

05:09This would solve Kenny Veach's mysterious disappearance once and for all.

05:14In 2021, one hiker got lucky.

05:18He claimed to have found the secretive M-cave.

05:21For safety reasons, the man couldn't reveal his exact location.

05:25The cave sits somewhere near Nevada State Route 375 East.

05:30The entrance to the cave really looked like an oversized letter M.

05:34Just like Veach described it.

05:36But the shape is too hard to notice from ground level.

05:39Only when you look at it from above is the M-shape visible.

05:43Who knows, hikers might have been walking past it for years without noticing the cave.

05:48Even Kenny couldn't locate the entrance the second time he went looking for it.

05:53The cave wasn't very deep, but there was something odd at the entrance.

05:57There appears to have been a straight line of rocks.

06:01Did someone try to wall off the entrance?

06:03And at the back of the cave, there was an even stranger find.

06:07Small pieces of wood were scattered along the floor.

06:10They looked a lot like 2x4s that are used in construction.

06:15Was there a door here once?

06:17The hiker found a nail sticking out of the stone.

06:20It could be part of a latch that was there some time ago.

06:24But the strangest part was the writing on the wall.

06:27Hatch or Veach? It's hard to tell.

06:30The hiker that discovered the cave didn't want to stay to find out.

06:34He left the cave in a hurry.

06:36No, it wasn't because he felt a strange vibration in his body like Kenny.

06:40He just didn't want to be in a desert cave in the middle of nowhere.

06:44This is the Mojave Desert, one of the most dangerous landscapes on Earth.

06:48Could this setting better explain how Kenny Veach disappeared without a trace in 2014?

06:54The desert's nickname is well deserved.

06:57This is where scientists recorded the hottest temperature on the planet.

07:01134 degrees Fahrenheit.

07:04And the average temperature during summer, just 113 degrees Fahrenheit.

07:09No sweat.

07:10But you'll also need a blanket.

07:12At night, the air temperatures drop well below freezing.

07:16Talk about a climate roller coaster.

07:18And the list of dangers doesn't end there.

07:21The driest and hottest place in the United States is home to dangerous animals.

07:26Mountain lions, venomous lizards, spiders, and wasps.

07:30You name it.

07:31Any one of these animals can end the life of an unsuspecting hiker.

07:36There is a reason why Kenny always wore snake guards when trekking.

07:40And then there are mine shafts.

07:42Local authorities strongly advise hikers not to enter them.

07:46These old mines from the 1800s are highly unstable.

07:50A person can easily fall down a hidden shaft.

07:54They also have pockets of bad air, which can suffocate a person.

07:58And remember the likable wildlife?

08:00They too live in these shafts.

08:02Rattlesnakes, scorpions, and black widow spiders.

08:06Kenny Veach could have easily fallen into one of these shafts.

08:09And there would be no help for him from miles around.

08:12Since Nevada is one of the least populated states.

08:16That's it for today.
