Hallie Gnatovich is the woman behind the successful explorer, adventurer, and TV star Josh Gates, best known for the “Destination Truth”, later renamed “Expedition Unknown”.
Destination Truth, which aired on the SyFy channel from 2007 to 2012, followed Gates as he uncovered secrets about the existence of the supernatural, with an emphasis on cryptozoology (the study of creatures believed to exist but without solid evidence). Later, the SyFy show switched to the Travel Channel, which also broadcasts reruns of Destination Truth.
While information about Gates is easily accessible, the same cannot be said about his wife Hallie. In this article, you will learn more about Hallie Gnatovich and how she helped Gates become successful.
