Bobby Bizup, Camp St. Malo
A 10-year-old deaf boy vanished from a Catholic summer camp beside Rocky Mountain National Park in August 1958; some of his remains were found on Mount Meeker the next summer.

The account
Bobby Bizup, who was born almost completely deaf, disappeared from Camp St. Malo near Allenspark. In 1959 hikers found torn clothing, a broken hearing aid and bone fragments high on Mount Meeker, several miles away, and the death was classed as an accident. Paulides discussed the case in the first Missing 411 film. In 2020 a 9News investigation reported that several camp counsellors of that summer later became priests accused of abusing children, and the National Park Service opened a criminal investigation into the death. No finding has been announced.
The sceptical view
Both an accident on the mountain and a crime have been considered; the reopened inquiry has not concluded.
