In 2016, survivalist and world traveler Justin Alexander goes missing in the Parvati Valley while on a spiritual trek into the Himalayan Mountains. While the circumstances of his disappearance point to murder, a chilling message he left behind throws everything into question: “I should return mid-September or so. If I’m not back by then, don’t look for me.” Four years later, host and true crime newcomer Liam Luxon is introduced to Justin's story and embarks on an investigation into the mysterious case. "Status-Untraced" is a 10-episode journey that explores the secrets the Valley holds, the stones left unturned, and what really happened to Justin Alexander.

Customer Reviews
A self concerned drug dealer
I think Justin either fell accidentally because he may have upset the Baba with their argument or he was pushed off the cliff side into the river by a rival local drug dealer or thief.
I wanted to like and be concerned for Justin but once you read his diary I realized he may have been in over his head and just not a nice guy. Another review said his parents helped create this persona of his through their parenting and I believe so.
He’s no hero, no super hero, he was a phony not some philanthropic helper or care giver. He was about himself and ultimately died by himself. I think he ruffled feathers of the locals and someone did him in or did nothing to really help when it was learned he was missing.
I doubt highly he’d remain hidden, his ego wouldn’t allow that.
I think Liam made a compelling podcast but it’s more of an entertaining story than something I would care about further. By the end of this I liked Justin less and less to the point of “what did he think was going to happen living like this?”
Waste of time
If you want to spend hours of your time listening to a story that brings no new details to a missing person case then this is the podcast for you. Just because he died in an exotic place doesn’t mean there is a big mystery to solve. He was a mentally ill drug dealer who fantasized about suicide.
Well-produced, but painfully biased
For all the time and effort that went into producing this podcast, you have to think they’d at least try to discuss what seems to be the obvious narrative here: a mentally-ill, narcissistic American man went on a voyage of “self-discovery” (that was really a social-media powered ego trip) and caused extensive pain and suffering with his (likely) accidental death while hiking alone, including the eventual death of one local holy man who fell under suspicion for it.
There’s even less analysis given to how much additional suffering the friends and family of this man caused when they came to look for him… probably because it would cast a harsh glare on the similarly privileged recklessness of the podcasters themselves.
