46: Missing in Death Valley National Park

When a family of 4 travel all the way from Germany to the United States for a National Park trip, they head into Death Valley National Park during some of their hottest days. While on a mission to look for illegal drug activity in the park, a ranger discovers their vehicle in an extremely remote area. A massive search ensues, but some believe they may have vanished on purpose.
