Kevin Randle reports the death of Mike Rogers on February 6, 2026. Rogers led the logging crew that included Travis Walton, and he later became a controversial figure in the Walton abduction story.
Alternative explanation
Rogers later said that no one saw Walton, a statement that undermines the abduction account, though the excerpt is cut off before the statement is complete.
