Ep. 045 | The Disappearance of Bryce Laspisa
In August 2013, 19-year-old college student Bryce Laspisa vanished under mysterious circumstances after a series of erratic behaviors and unsettling phone calls. On a solo drive from his college in Northern California to his parents’ home in Southern California, Bryce abruptly stopped near Castaic Lake in the early morning hours—then disappeared without a trace. His car was later found crashed at the bottom of an embankment, with his belongings still inside and no sign of Bryce. Despite extensive searches and national media attention, no evidence has ever surfaced to explain what happened. More than a decade later, the disappearance of Bryce Laspisa remains one of the most perplexing missing persons cases in modern true crime.
