In May 2008, a college student in rural Minnesota called his parents for help after driving into a ditch. He was calm, clear-headed, and chatting with his dad while walking toward what he believed was the nearest town. Then, mid-conversation, Brandon Swanson suddenly exclaimed, “Oh, shit”—and was never heard from again. What followed is one of the most baffling and frustrating missing persons cases in recent history, raising questions about search efforts, rural landscapes, and how someone can vanish without a trace… even while on the phone.
