Summary

On Thursday, July 9, 2015, little DeOrr Kunz left Idaho Falls with his family for a camping and fishing trip more than 120 miles away at the remote Timber Creek campground, but by the next afternoon he had vanished without a trace. At first, it was believed the boy might have been abducted, or even attacked by a wild animal. But as the search remained fruitless, investigators began to wonder if DeOrr had ever been up on the mountain at all. That's when they turned their attention to the campers, and named DeOrr's parents suspects. To this day, however, the little boy remains missing. Join host Ryan Kraus for a journey into the psychology of this fascinating mystery in an effort to uncover the truth.
