Between 1993 and 2004, three boys would go missing from the CEDU school for troubled teens and little clues would be found as to what happened to them. John Inman would disappear in 1993, Blake Pursley disappeared in 1994, and Daniel Yuen would go missing in 2004. The school's practices were controversial, and CEDU would face many allegations for abuse. While many people write these cases off as teenage runaways, others wonder if the school played a larger part in their demise. Especially after the revelation that a convicted sex offender and murderer roamed through the school halls for years.
