Quite simply he just doesn't run with the most likely story.
Instead of:
>person goes out without proper equipment
> disappears
> search fails
> experts say he likely got lost and died to exposure
he goes out of his way to tell this story:
person goes out without proper equipment
> some unvetted "witness" talks about how they saw a similar person following a spooky sound
> some other person says he saw a person on a trail somewhere
> some alluding to bigfoot / aliens or other paranormal in the area using vague language (So that people cant directly call him out on it
> person goes missing
> interviews with locals who believe the woods are haunted or something and he just happened to go down "Demon summoning anal rape avenue" or some other "haunted" spot with local folklore
> "gee I dont know what happened it could have been anything (but feel free to lean in the direction of all these cherrypicked interviews)"

You can tell he is invested in pushing these stories when he fruedian slips and admits (in every interview) that "nobody has ever gone missing with a satellite GPS locator and SOS beacon"
Because, no shit, these are all trail related disappearances. When someone with the correct equipment gets lost, they squawk SOS and get picked up by SAR (or their body is found).
If there were truly paranormal things snatching people in missing 401 cases, someone with this equipment could feasibly just disappear.

I believe in the paranormal, cryptids, etc. but missing 401's framing is very dishonest.
