Summary

In 2008, Brandon Swanson left a party in drove off into the night. After an unknown time, he got his Green Chevy Lumina got stuck in a ditch. He called friends and family to rescue him, but they couldn't find him. His parents kept him on the phone throughout the search, until Brandon said "oh shit," and was never seen or heard from again. Other podcasts place a lot of blame on the local Sheriff's Office for not reacting properly to the pleas of his parents-- but did they really lapse in their duty? Former police officer Kendra and active 911 dispatcher Jon-- both have many years spent investigating missing persons cases-- and will give you their takes on what went right, wrong, and why Brandon remains missing today.
