Summary
Three-year-old Dylan Ehler vanished from his grandmother’s backyard on May 6, 2020. His grandmother says she turned her back for a few seconds to deal with the family dog. When she turned back around, Dylan was gone.
Dylan’s rubber boots were discovered six hours after his disappearance, submerged in a creek nearby. Despite a six-day official search and hundreds of volunteer searchers, that's the only evidence found.
The family, in the meantime, began receiving ransom demands. A photoshopped photo of Dylan looking beaten and bruised was sent with a demand for money. Others followed.
