0:00.0	Paul David Sanders was a 17-year-old from Mesa, Arizona. He was originally from Missouri and
0:07.7	very athletic. On August 14, 2001, someone, the person may or may not have been Paul,
0:17.0	driving Paul's truck was pulled over by law enforcement in Tucson. A chase ensued in which
0:23.8	the driver escaped. The truck was later found wrecked several miles away with no signs of Paul.
0:30.8	He was never seen again. I'm at Denzel and this is unfound.
1:00.8	As you heard in the intro, the episode today will be based on a disappearance that seemingly started
1:20.8	as a chase. So I'll give you a quick quiz. Which two other episodes unfound has produced also
1:29.7	involved people trying to get away from law enforcement. Sure, we've had some walk-offs or
1:36.3	run-offs where family or friends tried to go after the missing people. Some of those examples
1:43.0	would be Renee Lamana, Keith Federer, and Riles Chapman. But by my calculations, we've only had
1:51.8	two episodes where people went missing after being chased by the cops. A hint, one of those
2:00.1	episodes involves two people. The answers, Molly Miller and Colt Haynes, two very well-known
2:09.5	disappearances, and probably the lesser-known one, Brennan Smoky. Remember his? There was actually
2:18.4	a video of him running into the woods beside the highway with police bearing down on him and
2:24.5	the guys who were with him. Now you remember. Well, today with the disappearance of Paul Sanders,
2:32.7	his is not as clear-cut as the other two. In fact, over 20 years later, no one is sure who started
2:40.2	that hot pursuit. And now, a summary of the case, this is brought to you by my friend Megan
2:48.7	Linas' website, CharlieProject.org. Paul Sanders started his life in Missouri, living with his
2:59.0	sister and mother. He played sports. Paul didn't get into much trouble. He was doing well.
3:07.6	Then in 2000, Paul decided he wanted to get to know his father, Robert, who lived in Arizona
3:14.0	a little better. Against his mother's better judgment, she allowed Paul to go to Mesa to see how
3:21.1	things would work out. At the beginning, everything seemed fine. Paul went to school, made friends,
