Cave Mountain
A Disappearance and a Reckoning in the Ozarks
Book • 2026
The non-fiction book Cave Mountain tells the story of the disappearance of Benjamin Hale's six-year old cousin and the reckoning that followed.
While on a hike in the Arkansas Ozarks with her grandparents, she gets lost, triggering a large search operation.
For three days she could not be found, with many search dogs losing the scent at the edge of Cave Mountain Road, leading police to believe she may have been abducted.
On the third day, she was found near the banks of the Buffalo River, unharmed.
Shortly after her rescue, the young girl revealed that she had been accompanied by an imaginary friend, which lead to a series of coincidences.
