In May 2008, 19-year-old Brandon Swanson drove off a rural road in Minnesota and called his parents for help. They stayed on the phone with him for nearly 47 minutes as he described his surroundings and tried to walk toward them. Then, suddenly, he yelled “Oh s**t!” and the line went dead. Brandon was never seen again. In Episode 6 of Threads of Truth, we break down the timeline, explore internet theories ranging from misadventure to foul play, and ask: How can someone disappear in the middle of a phone call and why has no trace been found?
