Trails Carolina Death Tragedy Occurred Alec Lansing, a seventeen-year-old teenager, disappeared in November 2014 from Trails Carolina, a wilderness therapy program for troubled youth situated in North Carolina's Nantahala National Forest. Sadly, Alec's body was discovered not far from the camp, having died of hypothermia and a broken hip. His disappearance spurred a large search operation that lasted days. The community was shocked by this tragic incident, which also gave rise to grave worries regarding Trails Carolina's safety as well as that of other wilderness therapy programs. The Disappearance of Alec Lansing A bright, vivacious young man, Alec Lansing loved the outdoors and music. To help him get over some of the obstacles he was having in his life, he enrolled at Trails Carolina. But Alec left a group trek on November 10, 2014, and vanished into the forest. A Search and Recovery Effort Soon after Alec vanished, volunteers, search and rescue teams, and local law police got involved in a search and rescue mission. Lack of visibility, thick undergrowth, and poor weather conditions hindered the search attempts. Alec's lifeless body was discovered after several days of searching. The Cause of Trails Carolina Death According to an autopsy, Alec shattered his hip and then succumbed to hypothermia. Likely sustained from a fall while meandering through the woods, his hip fracture was made worse by the chilly weather. Concerns Raised About Trails Carolina Following Alec Lansing's passing, major questions were raised concerning Trails Carolina's safety as well as that of other wilderness rehabilitation programs. Critics cited the camp's past mishaps, which included escapes and charges of abuse. They questioned the effectiveness of safety procedures as well as the staff members' supervision and training. A History of Incidents There had been multiple previous incidences at Trails Carolina in the months preceding Alec Lansing's abduction. Two youths who had fled the camp in September 2014 were later apprehended and determined to be safe. There have also been accusations of staff personnel physically restraining participants and using excessive force. Allegations of Neglect Reports of abuse and neglect were made public by the parents of former Trails Carolina members. They said their kids had endured a lot of hardship, including scarcity of food and water and inadequate medical attention. A Lack of Oversight The absence of control of wilderness therapy programs has been attributed to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Opponents contended that by failing to sufficiently oversee Trails Carolina and other initiatives, the DHHS had allowed certain safety risks to remain unnoticed.
