Into the Silence: The Beckwith Mystery
A Father–Daughter Adventure
In 2012, Garrett Beckwith and his 19-year-old daughter Della set out
to climb Wyoming’s Mount Hooker, a remote and demanding peak in the Wind River Range.
For years they had bonded over hiking and climbing, but this trip would be their last.
The Mountain
Mount Hooker rises nearly 12,500 feet, with a sheer north face that tests even elite climbers.
Reaching it requires days of trekking through unforgiving wilderness, where sudden storms and hidden dangers are constant threats.
Vanishing Without a Trace
The two were last seen beginning their ascent.
Despite weeks of search efforts with helicopters, dogs, and rescue teams, no sign of them—or their gear—was ever found.
A Legacy of Loss
Theories range from a fatal fall to a storm-driven misstep, but the truth remains unknown.
For their family, closure never came—only the memory of a shared love for adventure.
