November 15, 1928, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona.

29-year-old Glen Hyde and his 22-year-old wife, Bessie, decide to spend their honeymoon

taking a rafting trip down the rapids of the Colorado River.

Shortly after stopping at the home of a photographer named Emory Colbe, the Hyde's vanish without

a trace, and their empty boat is discovered in the river over one month later.

Over the next several decades there would be a number of twists, including a woman who claimed

to be Bessie Hyde, and the discovery of an unidentified male skeleton in Emory Colbe's

boat house.

But no trace of Glen or Bessie is ever found.

After that, the trail went cold.

Hello everyone and welcome to the latest episode of the trail went cold.

I'm your host Robin Warder, and today we're going to be traveling back nine years to

cover a mystery which took place in the Grand Canyon, the 1928 disappearances of Glen

and Bessie Hyde.

That voice you just heard narrated our opening was Collins Avitz, the latest winner of our

trail went cold listener voiceover contest, and you did a tremendous job, so thank you very

much, Colin.

Anyway, if you're an unsolved mysteries fan, you're probably familiar with this story,

as it was featured on the very first episode of the show hosted by Robert Stack.

Last month, I recorded an audio commentary track over that episode as a bonus reward on

Patreon for our tier three patrons, and as I was doing it, my first thought was, why

haven't I done a podcast episode about this story yet?
