Terrence’s TV Experience Before Gold Rush
Terrence Woods had a promising career. He was considered upbeat and very passionate about television. Prior to 2018, he spent five years in the U.K. working for Raw TV. His last job was researching.
Then, he got a prime gig. He was going to work on a new Gold Rush spinoff, Dave Turin’s Mine. They were filming for the first season of the show. So, he moved back to his dad’s place in Maryland and headed over to Idaho, where he was to film at an abandoned gold mine called Penman Mine. In this first season, Turin traveled around the whole country, helping owners of abandoned gold mines restore their mine and find gold.

When Terrence Woods Became Missing From Gold Rush Set
On the morning of the disappearance, Terrence texted his father that he was cutting his producer stint short. He did not offer an explanation. Then, he said he was going to head out to see mom, Valerie Woods, in Maryland. She had originally needed surgery but had told Terrence that this was indefinitely postponed.
At the set, Terrence Woods shocked his Gold Rush producing team. He dumped off his radio, and ran down a steep cliff, into a thick forest.
No one saw him again.
The sheriff’s office and everyone on set searched for him. But, there were no clues. Just two witnesses who saw him running. One was a local woman, the other, Simon Gee, who was an associate producer. Woods’ father is quite skeptical about this information. He has questions, but no answers.
This area is rough, with a lot of mines. But the lack of clues has the family very suspicious. They want answers. Now.
