Hey, it's Josh Maniko, it's you're about to hear a preview from the new season of

Dateline Missing in America and the story of Logan Shindleman.

May 20, 2016. 63 degrees under mostly clear skies in

Tomwater, Washington, just south of the state capital Olympia.

Around 3 pm that Friday, traffic on Interstate 5 was zipping along at 70 miles an hour.

That's when something alarming came into focus. A black convertible top up

was definitely not following the rules of the road. It started rolling and actually rolled

across three lanes of pre-weight. The 1996 Chrysler Seabring was drifting diagonally

from the far right southbound lane toward the median. Other cars had to speed up or swerve to

avoid hitting it. Then after a few dangerous seconds, the Seabring stopped. Finally,

impacted on the center barrier and that in itself is sort of unusual. That's Mike Ware.

He wishes he'd been at the scene that day because he has strong opinions about what happened.

And not just because of the 39 years he spent in the local sheriff's office.

Or because of what police were about to find in the Seabring.

Mike has a lot to say because what happened on the highway that day

was something much more personal to him. It was the beginning of a mystery that shattered his own

family. The convertible disrupting traffic on the freeway belonged to Mike's 19-year-old nephew,

Logan Shindleman.

Only Logan wasn't in the car. No one was. And Logan has now been missing for more than seven years.

We first featured Logan's story in our digital series in 2016, just weeks after he vanished.

In this episode, we'll take you deeper into his literally baffling disappearance.

This is the story of a teenager who was wrestling with questions that many 19-year-olds grapple with.
