On July 15th 1984, Kari Swenson, a highly successful US Biathlete, was abducted by father-and-son pair Don and Dan Nichols. The Nichols’ were survivalists who had planned to make Swenson the son’s bride in order to start a cult in the mountains.

After Kari failed to return home, a search party was sent out to look for her. Dozens of locals, along with family and friends spent hours combing through the woods of Big Sky, Montana, where they knew Kari had been cross-country training earlier in the day. Eventually a member of the party, Alan Goldstein, a friend of Swenson’s, stumbled onto the Nichols’ camp and was fatally shot by Don. In a state of panic, Dan Nichols slipped and his gun accidentally fired, shooting Kari in the abdomen. She miraculously survived. The duo fled, leaving Swenson chained to a tree. She sat alone with her dead friend for over four hours until she was found by rescuers.

Her surviving such a horrific injury is certainly amazing, but even more so is the fact that she went on to compete in the Women’s Biathlon World Championships in Chamonix, France. Despite having only 80% lung capacity, Swenson led the U.S. Team to win a bronze medal. Nowadays, Keri works as a veterinarian in Bozeman, Montana.

In the wilderness of Montana's Big Sky country, a young woman Olympic athlete, Kari Swenson, was kidnapped at gun point while on a training run. Searchers found her chained to a tree and guarded by two 'mountain men,' Don and Dan Nichols, father and son who had left civilization a dozen years before. In the ensuing confrontation, Kari was badly wounded by the younger Nichols and a rescuer was coldly shot and killed before the Nicholses made their escape, leaving Kari behind. The manhunt that followed featured FBI teams, helicopters, electronic aids, and massive manpower. In the end it was Johnny France, the local sheriff, who had spearheaded the search for months and who finally, by chance, tracked them down alone. 1985

Project X Zone series English Dub hypothetical cast

Look below the cut, this got kinda long... n__n; Please note that I’m only listing the ones that have had official English dub voices.

Project X Zone

Yuri Lowell: Troy Baker Estellise Sidos Heurassein: Eden Riegel or Cherami Leigh? (Riegel provided Estelle’s dub voice in the Tales of Vesperia game(s), while Leigh dubbed her in the movie, The First Strike) Flynn Scifo: Sam Riegel Jin Kazama: Brad Swaile (Street Fighter x Tekken English voice) Ling Xiaoyu: Carrie Keranen (Tekken: Blood Vengeance English voice) Heihachi Mishima: Jamieson Price (Blood Vengeance and SFxT English voice) Alisa Bosconovitch: Cristina Valenzuela or Michele Knotz? (Blood Vengeance and SFxT voices, respectively) KOS-MOS: Bridget Hoffman or Luci Christian? (Hoffman voiced her in Xenosaga Episodes I and III; Christian voiced her in Xenosaga: The Animation) T-elos: see above (Bridget Hoffman voiced both KOS-MOS and T-elos in Episode III, so it would only make sense if Luci got to take a crack at T-elos when she also voiced KOS-MOS.) Kite: Mona Marshall BlackRose: Wendee Lee Soma Schicksal: Yuri Lowenthal or Crispin Freeman? (I haven’t gotten to hear much, if any, of either voice yet...) Alisa Ilinichina Amiella: Kate Higgins or Cherami Leigh? (Same case as Soma...) Lindow Amamiya: Kyle Hebert Neneko: Luci Christian (She voiced Neneko in the English dub of the Yumeria anime, but she didn’t sound like a little girl, which Neneko seems like she is supposed to be. She may have to use a “little girl” voice for Neneko.) Neito: Tiffany Salinas? (TBH, I didn’t see much of the Yumeria anime, and even less of Salinas’s performance in the English dub. What little I have seen seems acceptable, but I’m honestly a bit afraid to watch the anime for myself... ‘Course, I’m kind of a coward, so... ;v;  ) Selvaria Bles: April Stewart Sakura Shinguji: Wendee Lee Ichiro Ogami: Dave Wittenberg Gemini Sunrise: Laura Bailey Erica Fontaine: Caitlin Glass? (She voiced Erica in the dub of the anime Sakura Wars: School of Paris, and that was the only time Erica Fontaine was dubbed.) Toma: Nick Tagas Cyrille: Erin M. Cahill Riemsianne La Vaes: Amy Provenzano Zephyr: Scott Menville Leanne: Jessica DiCicco Vashyron: Nolan North Bruno Delinger: (No official English voice, but I picture him being dubbed by the celebrity he resembles, Bruce Willis. XD  If not him, then someone who can convincingly sound like him.) Ulala: Cherami Leigh (I would say Apollo Smile, but she has retired from voice acting. : (   ) Mega Man X: Mark Gatha (Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X - The Day of Sigma) Zero: Lucas Gilbertson Tron Bonne: Caroly Larson; failing that, Tara Platt Servbots: Elizabeth Hanna or...whoever voiced them in Marvel vs. Capcom 3? Vile: Roger Rhodes? Ryu: Kyle Hebert? Ken Masters: Reuben Langdon Chun-Li: Laura Bailey Juri: Jessica Straus Seth: Michael McConnohie Chris Redfield: Roger Craig Smith Jill Valentine: Patricia Ja Lee Dante: Reuben Langdon Lady: Kari Wahlgren Morrigan Aensland: Kathleen Barr or Siobhan Flynn? (Barr voiced Morrigan in the anime Night Warriors: Darkstalkers’ Revenge, while Flynn provided her English voice in Marvel vs Capcom 3. Barr nailed the range of emotions, and Flynn had a genuine Scottish accent (Morrigan apparently originated in Scotland). Makes it hard to decide...) Demitri Maximoff: Paul Dobson (Darkstalkers’ Revenge voice) Hsien-Ko: Nicole Oliver Lord Raptor: Scott McNeil Jedah Dohma: Travis Willingham or David Kaye? Aura: Lia Sargent Iris: Michelle Gazepis? (I have no idea what the quality of the voice acting was in Mega Man X4...) Frank West: TJ Rotolo Arthur: Daniel Woren

Project X Zone 2

Leon S. Kennedy: Paul Mercier or Matthew Mercer? Ada Wong: Sally Cahill or Jolene Andersen? Vergil: Daniel Southworth Nero Angelo: David Keeley (I don’t remember if Nero has any voice acting in PXZ2, but it seems like I should list this guy...) M. Bison: Gerald C. Rivers Phoenix Wright: Ben Judd, Trevor White, or Eric Vale? Maya Fey: Samantha Dakin, Abby Trott, or Lindsay Seidel Miles Edgeworth: Mark Healy Felicia: Janyse Jaud Pyron: David Kaye Strider Hiryu: Marc Biagi (though it would be cool if his English voice was provided by a genuinely Japanese actor) Hotsuma: Jordan Rosa? Hibana: Karen Swenson Kazuma Kiryu: Darryl Kurylo (English voice in the first Yakuza game) Goro Majima: Mark Hamill (see Kazuma) Ranmaru: Dorothy Fahn Shadow: Tom Clarke Hill? Cardinal Garigliano: Dave B. Mitchell Ryo Hazuki: Corey Marshall Zagi: Roger Craig Smith Kazuya Mishima: Jordan Byrne Haseo: Andrew Francis or Yuri Lowenthal? Natsu: Kate Higgins Ciel Alencon: Cristina Valenzuela Nana Kazuki: Cassandra Lee Morris Aty: Melissa Gulden (Apparently, she’s going to provide this character’s dub voice in the upcoming Summon Night 6: Lost Borders.) Fiora: Carina Reeves Metal Face / Mumkhar: Timothy Watson Chrom: Matthew Mercer Lucina: Laura Bailey Tiki: Mela Lee

As for deciding on English-language voices for those who haven’t had an official dub yet, I wouldn’t know where to begin... Other than that, please let me know if I missed anyone!

Mountain Run Turned Fight for Life

On 15 July 1984, Olympic biathlete 22-year-old Kari Swenson went for a run on a mountain trail near her home in Big Sky, southwest Montana. The beautiful route winding around the scenic mountain was meant to be a routine run before her shift started at the Lone Mountain Guest Ranch later that evening. Kari Swenson, however, was met with a terrifying ordeal that changed her life.
