Meegan Whitney of Haddonfield, Illinois,
went missing in the Khumbu Valley
on the Nepal side of the Himalayas.
Now she was last seen with this outfit,
The Spiritual Awakenings
Adventure Travel firm.
Now they specialize in
high-end yoga expeditions.
Yoga expeditions? That's a thing?
Yeah, "Eat, Pray, Love,"
big business nowadays.
Yeah, but not Eat, Pray, Love, Die,
which is what happened in Meegan's case.
Warning, these are a bit graphic.
From the condition of the campsite
and what was left of her body,
initial science suggested
an animal att*ck.
Yeah, these are horrific.
Initial signs? You don't
think this was an animal?
A local zoologist insisted
there are no natural predators
in the Khumbu Valley, and
there've been no reports
of migratory disturbances
in this area this year.
So... m*rder?
The Nepali government has classified
Meegan Whitney's death
as the result of a...
yeti att*ck.
You have gotta be kidding me.
I wish I was.
Apparently, they
receive dozen of reports
of yeti encounters each year.
It's a legitimate cause
of death in the country.
Well, I cannot imagine that
either the State Department
or Meegan's family is
satisfied with blaming her death
on a mythological creature.
And that's why they reached out to us.
So let me get this straight.
We're being sent
halfway around the world
to find out if this is a m*rder
or if there's an animal on the loose
that shouldn't be there?
Or to actually find
the Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas.
Given the Nepali government's
official stance on the matter,
let's consider the local
investigation as inconclusive.
We hit the ground, we're
starting from square one.
This was an American girl.
We owe it to her and her family
to find out what happened.

What else would I...
Mayfield Ruth Jarvis.
I may have let it slip
that you're a yeti believer.
I'm sorry. It seemed relevant.
I'm here for comm support.
Okay, her description is inaccurate.
I am not a "yeti believer."
I am at most an enthusiast.
Tomato, tomato.
I'm sorry. Call it scientific curiosity.
I just don't see any evidence
disproving its actual existence.
See? What'd I tell ya? Total believer.
Totally.
What have you been up to?
We have been working up a victimology
for Meegan Whitney.
She seemed like a sweet girl.
She was from a small town.
Her family ran the local hardware store.
Her parents, Tom and Edith,
d*ed three years ago in a car crash.
Meegan spun out a little. Lost her way.
That's understandable.
And two years ago, she got into yoga.
Found her center.
Any enemies?
Doesn't seem like it.
Certainly not in
Middle-of-Nowhere, Nepal.
But the police report
cleared her fellow trekkers,
so if this was m*rder,
it wasn't pre-meditated.
If it was m*rder,
these crime scene
photos are inconclusive.
There's nothing here to indicate
whether the k*ller is human
or animal.
There's a third option.
Yeah, I think that we can
all agree it wasn't the yeti.
Man: Of course it was the yeti.
Agent Garrett, the Nepali
people have plenty of experience
with these kinds of incidents.
We've been having them for centuries.
Senani Thakur, no disrespect,
but have you considered
any other possibilities?
Why?
The circumstances in
this case are consistent
with every other yeti att*ck on record.
None of which have been
scientifically confirmed.
No mind.
Today, it is our great honor
to have the much-lauded
International Response Team
here in Nepal to help us catch it.
[Lowered voice] Oh, boy.
Uh, your report indicated
that there were witnesses.
Not to the att*ck itself, but, uh,
one of her fellow trekkers
discovered the body
the following morning.
The expedition was called off.
The survivors returned
here to Kathmandu.
They're... they're
right here in this hotel.
Now what happened to the body?
Porters brought it down
with the expedition.
It's being held in storage
at the army barracks.
Porters? You had it carried down?
Wouldn't you normally air lift it?
My apologies, but Nepal is one of
the poorest countries in Asia.
My department has one helicopter.
It was down for repairs.
It seems to be working now.
If you'd like, I can
arrange to have you taken up
the mountain to the att*ck site
so you may examine it yourself.
That would be fine, thank you.
We'd also like to speak
with some of the witnesses.
Whatever you require, sir.
Good. Mae, while Clara and I do that,
you can arrange to have
Meegan's body transferred
- to the plane for supplemental autopsy.
- Sure thing.
Monty, have you finished setting
up communications on the jet?
Powered up and operational.
Good. Then why don't you head
up the mountain with Simmons?
You can establish a
satellite link at the scene.
Up... the mountain

that seems to be working?
You'll be fine.
And you thought the
big airplane was fun.
Wait till you get a
load of the whirlybird.
About those witnesses?
I can't believe she's gone.
We're so sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
Miss Gates, how did you and Meegan meet?
We met in Bhutan in .
Um... she was really struggling
with the loss of her parents,
and I was going through a messy divorce.
And we just kinda hit it off.
So back in the States, you were close?
Kinda like camp friends, you know?
Friends that you see not
so much on the day-to-day,
but when you go away
together, you're inseparable.
And you had done several
of these trips together.
Oh, yeah.
We went to Bali and, uh, Galápagos
and Sri Lanka.
We both came to Nepal earlier last year.
We were so excited to get back here
because it just seemed
so... transcendent.
I just never thought anything
like this would happen.
What else can you tell us
about Meegan's relationships
with the other people on the retreat?
Would anyone have wanted to hurt her?
Oh, heavens no.
We were all like this singular organism
moving together, breathing as one.
And yet, the night before Meegan d*ed,
she set up her tent away
from the rest of the group
near the woods.
Yes, she wanted to emulate the masters.
The whole point of this
trip was to study with
the local maharishi,
A group of men that have chosen
to live their lives in isolation,
free of distractions from the world.
And Meegan was obsessed with this idea.
So she wanted to be more like them.
Yes. Yes.
And now she's dead.
How does something so horrible happen?
We have men at the site right now
attempting to answer that question.
[Helicopter blades whirring]
Monty: Thought there'd be more snow.
Simmons: Yeah, we're still
a couple thousand feet
below the permafrost.
This sure sets up like an animal att*ck.
Remote location, victim ripped
apart where she was k*lled.
k*ller had patience.
He took his time, waited
till she was alone.
She's att*cked here on
the outside of her tent,
and she's dragged into the woods.
And that's where she was disemboweled.
Well, there were no
reports of screaming.
So we can assume that whatever
it was, it got the jump on her.
Yeah, well, look at the
distribution of blood here.
The spatter here on
the outside of the tent,
this is all from the att*ck.
But the stuff here on the inside...
All this is secondary transfer.
Which means this tent was ransacked
after Meegan was dead.
Okay, wait, wait. If this was
an animal hunting its prey,
it already has its food,
there'd be no reason to go back inside.
But on the other hand,
if someone was trying to
make this look like an animal,
or a yeti att*ck,
it'd probably look a lot like this.
I don't know, guys.
If a human did this, they
did a pretty convincing job
at making it look otherwise.
I've got claw and bite marks here.
It's clear signs of animal predation.
I don't understand.
I mean, why would someone
want to make this look
like a yeti att*ck?
Cover up a m*rder?
Simmons: Or to protect
the area's reputation.
A yeti att*ck plays more
to the Himalayan narrative
than unsolved m*rder.
Certainly, you don't mean to imply
this is some kind of cover-up.
Tourism is the number one
industry in this country.
It's possible that
someone could've seen this
as an opportunity to
generate some interest.
What's that Occam's Razor
you people are so fond of?
The simplest explanation
is usually correct.
I tell you, this was the yeti.
Yeah, well, the simplest
explanation usually doesn't
assume the supernatural.
And normally, I would
have DNA to rule it out,
but unfortunately, given
the number of people
that handled the body
bringing it down the hill,
isolating the k*ller
is gonna be impossible.
Okay, if this was an animal,
do you know what kind it was?
No, the decomp is so extensive.
I mean, I can't even tell
if this damage was done
Peri or postmortem.
I mean, it's even possible that
a scavenger fed off of her body
after she was already dead.
I am sorry, guys.
This doesn't seem to be narrowing down
the way I thought it would.
All right, well, it's
still early up here.
We're gonna search the woods,
see if there's anything
the local authorities
might've missed.
Okay, can you give me a hand?
I wanna roll her over.
Well, that's weird. Her hips are loose.
Yoga does promote flexibility.
Well, not this much.
All of her joints are loose.
And once I realized that
her pelvic ligaments were loose,
it led me to Relaxin,
which is a vasodilator.
It softens cartilage and loosens joints.
You think she was drugged?
No Relaxin isn't a pharmaceutical.
It is a hormone that is
released when a body prepares
to incubate a fetus.
Meegan was pregnant.
And the initial autopsy
didn't discover it because
all of her internal organs
were already missing.
But HCG levels suggest that
she was about weeks along.
That would mean
conception occurred during
her last trip to Nepal.
And that someone has a personal
relationship with the victim.
- It could explain the overkill.
- It might mean that
the disembowelment
wasn't part of a cover-up.
I mean, what if Meegan
went to surprise someone
with the news of the pregnancy,
and it didn't go well?
Ms. Gates, were you aware
that Meegan was pregnant?
What?
We checked with the other
trekkers registered
with Spiritual Awakenings.
None of them were in Nepal when
you and Meegan came this year.
Do you know of anyone else
who might be the father?
No.
I can't think of anyone.
You said she was obsessed
with the maharishi.
Were they part of the expedition?
No. They were locals.
Sort of like guest instructors?
♪♪
Well, Jack, you were right.
According to Spiritual Awakenings,
a man named Yogi Pemba
led the class the morning
that Meegan was m*rder*d.
Now I did some digging,
and Pemba's real name
is Dave Dennis.
And he is from Bakersfield, California.
Well, given the name
change, let me guess...
Dave Dennis has a record.
Yes, sir.
In , he fled the
U.S. after a yoga student
with whom he had been,
ahem, "bumping chakras,"
filed domestic as*ault
charges against him.
So if this Pemba is the father
of a child he didn't want...
He would have both
motive and opportunity.
You got a on this wayward shaman?
According to the website,
he lives in Namche Bazaar,
not far from where Meegan was m*rder*d.
Call Simmons and Monty, see
if they can pay him a visit.
No, they're not the same.
The sasquatch is a hoax perpetuated by
cryptozoologists in a way to justify
their so-called profession.
Right, so let me get this straight.
You think that Bigfoot is a...
A cash grab. Just follow the money.
I mean, besides, the yeti
is a legend that dates back
to pre-history.
It was supported by, you
know, Reinhold Messner
and Sir Edmund Hillary.
Sure, sure. Makes total sense.
Mae: Monty, are you there?
Mae, tell me there's no
poison sumac in Nepal.
We got a suspect.
It's a Dave Dennis,
a.k.a. "Yogi Pemba."
He lives in a town called Namche Bazaar.
Okay, yeah, that's not
too far from where we are.
I'll round up Simmons,
and we'll go check it out.
Uh, yo, Simmons, we got a lead.

But lucky for us, up

Meegan returns to her tent,
alone.
The UnSub st*lks her
from the cover of woods.
When the time is right...
He att*cks.
Meegan goes down.
The UnSub drags her into the woods.
While he's ripping her body apart...
Pemba arrives.
He spots the attacker, too late.
Pemba runs.
The k*ller gives chase.
And Pemba makes it pretty
deep into the woods,
so the k*ller probably
isn't moving that fast.
But something must've
slowed the Yogi down.

Pemba loses sight of the k*ller.
And he thinks
he may have gotten away.
So rather than give away
his position by moving,
he hides out, until...
The way that the flesh
is torn from the bone,
eating the internal organs, I mean,
everything about this screams predator.
But these bite marks are... [Sighs]
- human?
- That didn't sound too convincing.
Well, they're the right size
with the appropriate
inter-dental spacing,
but the teeth that did this were jagged,
like you find in a carnivore.
Or in cases of extreme dental attrition.
So... human-oid?
I'm just trying to keep an open mind.
Well, one thing is for
sure. This wasn't a cover-up.
The UnSub did not hesitate.
He just bit right in.
This was his nature.
Here. Come over and take a look.
I'll take your word for it.
But see, then the problem
is that means cannibal.
And cannibals are almost
always ritualistic.
Their kills are planned and ceremonial.
This was instinctive.
In-human.
Monty, the k*ller is not
an -foot tall Abominable Snowman.
Thanks, Scully, but neither is the yeti.
This is something we like
to call the dragon paradox.
Okay. Fine. Dragon paradox. What is it?
Okay, imagine a knight
goes on an adventure
and he takes his party,
but everyone in the party
dies except for the knight.
You play too much D&D.
Beaten and bloodied,
he has to return to the
castle to explain his defeat.
Kneeling in the throne room,
does our knight tell the king
that the monster that
ravaged his entire party
was -feet tall and walked with a limp?
No. He tells the king that
the monster was feet tall
and he breathed fire.
Exac... Why... does he do that?
Well, because he is the brave knight,
and losing to a short, green gimp
would ruin his reputation.
Come on. With everything
you know about victimology?
Okay, no. No, no.
The knight has sworn to be honest
and honor his king,
but he still exaggerates because...
Because post-traumatic
memories are unreliable.
So the size of the
monster that he remembers
represents the size of the thr*at.
Which is why we think
the yeti is feet tall
when most scientific theories suggest
that it's the missing link
or an offshoot of some
feral h*m* sapien.
Either of which would
make it human-sized.
Exactly.
There's only one problem.
There's no such thing as a yeti.

We were... familiar.
Do you know who the k*ller is?
The army thinks it's a yeti.
The army is interested
only in confirming
what it already believes.
So you do know who k*lled him.
I don't suppose karma is the
answer you're looking for.
Pemba was a charlatan, a false prophet.
What he brought to this
valley was unnatural.
And nature has a way of
taking care of itself.
There any chance you had
a hand in this "nature"?
I swear to you that I did not.

divide the area into quadrants.

Is that why you're not helping us?

- To the contrary.
I am not indifferent to

But nature has spoken.
Who am I to question nature?

You cannot stop Samsara.

He's telling us it's both.
Thousands d*ed in the earthquakes,
and you think one of them was

There are many forms of rebirth.
Jack, what if he didn't die?
What if our k*ller was
injured during the earthquake,
but he survived?
There have been some
accounts about people who have
developed into an animalistic state
after suffering a severe
neurological trauma.
Would that explain the cannibalism
- and the hoarding?

If so, we may be looking

including Ian and his wife.
But somehow, he survived.
Jack, he's not a monster.
He's a very damaged individual.
He att*cked one of the
Nepalis. We're tracking him.
Where are you now, Mae?
Uh, we are at the base of the avalanche,
where his wife was k*lled.

He's been here.
About a kilometer that way.
Stick tight, Mae. We're on our way.

Jack, he's here.

Mr. Wilson?
We know who you are.
You're hurt.
And we can help you, please.
There's no need to be scared.
- Speak for yourself.
- [Clicks button]
I'm gonna put my g*n down.
Are you crazy?
You do this every week?
Agent Garrett, yeti or no,
he is a monster
responsible for many deaths.
This man is suffering
from a neurological trauma.
Charging in and k*lling
him is not justice.
We need to try to apprehend him.
If threatened, my men will respond.
If they are threatened.
Those are my agents up there.
They have this situation under control.
Tell your men.
[Shouts in Nepali]
This is bad.
The yeti myth is part of their identity.
Any move he makes will
be seen as aggression.
Mae, you're about to have company.
Ian, there are men coming
and they wanna hurt you.
Please, this is what
Charlotte would've wanted.
He can't understand you.
Maybe I should shut the hell up.
We know about the avalanche
that k*lled your wife.
[Whimpers, whines]
The search party looked
for you for three days,
but they had to turn back
because of the aftershocks.
[Groans]
You could hear them, couldn't you?
[Moaning sadly]
I cannot imagine the pain,
the feeling of abandonment.
But, Ian, k*lling is not the answer.
[Moans, huffs]
Stay back.
We have it under control.
Ian, please. Come with us.
We can get you help.
[Whimpers]
Ian, no, please.

Namaste.
- Thanks.
- Mm-hmm.
Well, I guess that puts
the yeti myth to bed
once and for all.
I doubt it brings much
comfort to Meegan's family.
But they do have some closure.
You know, I have to admit that
when I saw those footprints,
even I started to believe a little bit.
I can't imagine what it took
to survive an injury like that.
Well, that speaks to the
strength of the human spirit.
Yeah, but was he? You know, human?
Having devolved to such
an animalistic state?
I think so.
I think on some level
he knew what he was doing
when he charged those men.
You think he wanted to die?
I think he was suffering.
I think he wanted to be with his wife.
You know, there's this Buddhist concept
called Kalyana-mittata,
or spiritual companionship.
And they say that it
transcends death or rebirth.
Well, maybe he got what he wanted.
Clara: Maybe he did.
You know, technically,
this doesn't disprove
the evidence of the yeti.
There could still be
undiscovered species out there.
- Hey, Monty.
- Yes, sir.
Enough with the yeti.
- Let's go home.
- Yes, please.
