What is going on true crime fans? I'm your host Heath and I'm your host Daphne.

And you're listening to Going West. Hello everybody. We have a

suspicious disappearance for you guys today that needs a lot more attention and it was recommended

by Lacey and Sarah. So thank you both so much for sending this one in. Yes, this is one of those

very strange missing men cases. I know

Daphne really enjoys these cases and they are extremely mysterious. I mean, that is how we

started going west with Brandon Swanson's case way back in the day. So we always, always look

into those type of cases when they come our way in our giant pile of recommendations.

So again, thank you so much for tuning in.

Thank you, gals, for sending this one in.

And oh, before we get going, I want to tell you guys that we have merch coming out finally.

We teased it a few months ago, but it is finally coming out on February 6th.

Yes, we have some really cozy crewneck sweaters for you guys.

We have some t-shirts, as well as a full sweatsuit.

Yeah, and I got to say, they are all very stylish, very cute.

So if you want to see those, check out our socials.

They're going to be out February 6th, and it's going to be on our website. So thank you in advance for snagging some of it. And without further ado, all right, guys, this is episode 578 of going west. So let's get into it In January of 2001, a 31-year-old New York man vanished when he left his family's home after receiving a mysterious page.

He told his parents he was heading out to play pool with a friend, but the hours ticked by

and he never returned. His car was found abandoned days later in a quiet parking lot, locked

with his wallet inside.

And this has left investigators, his family, and the community to continue wondering.

25 years later, what happened to him?
