Hi, crime junkies. I'm your host, Ashley Flowers, and I'm writing solo today to bring you a story

about a very strange disappearance that took place in the summer of 2024. A man who was with a big

group at a busy campsite goes into his tent to sleep one night, and by morning, he's just gone. The initial assumptions

that maybe he walked away, maybe he just kept going. That's the theory police appeared to accept

pretty fast. But over a year and a half later, there's still no reason why. There's no recovered

wallet, no cell phone, no physical trace of where this man went.

Just one clue that might suggest he never left at all. This is the story of Daryl Bubba Johnson, Sr.

Music I'm.... It's Saturday, June 29, 2024, just afternoon, when New Mexico State Police Officer Jonathan Gonzalez arrives at

Kanja's Lake State Park.

It's windy out in the desert where he's meeting a crew of campers who just reported

a friend of theirs missing.

Are you the one that called?

Did you call?

He's talking to a small group of campers that appears to include Alejandra Diaz, who goes by

Ali, her daughter's Vanessa and Roxanne, and Roxanne's husband, George. It was Roxanne who

made the report about their missing friend, and in it, she mentions 30-plus people in their camping party.

But according to the report, when Gonzalez arrives, these are the only four from their

group that he notes speaking with.

Now, we spoke to a couple of these same people, like Allie.

And she said that everyone else, including her boyfriend who was with them Ernie, was out

searching for Bubba.

Now, the story that these four gives starts shaping everything.
