On May 6, 2020 in the small town of Truro, Nova Scotia, a normal spring afternoon turned into a nightmare when three-year-old Dylan Ehler vanished without a trace. One moment, he was playing in his grandmother’s backyard — the next, he was gone. Within minutes, a frantic search began, and by the end of the day, only two small rubber boots were found near a fast-moving brook.

In this episode, we take a closer look at the disappearance of Dylan Ehler — a case that has haunted his family and baffled investigators for five years. We walk through the timeline of that day, examine the search efforts, and explore the controversial theories that have emerged: Was Dylan swept away by the current, or could foul play have been involved?

We also unpack the ripple effects this tragedy had on the Ehler family, from their battle with online harassment to their push for legislative change with "Dylan’s Law." Join us as we piece together the heartbreaking story of a little boy who vanished in seconds — and a family still searching for answers.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to call the Truro Police Service at 902-895-5351.
