On May 14, 2008, 19-year-old Brandon Swanson disappeared after calling his parents for help when his car became stuck on a rural Minnesota road. His last words — “Oh, shit” — still echo through one of America’s most haunting missing-person mysteries.
In this episode of Santana True Crime, I’m joined by Jeff Hasse, the Search Director who has led and continues to lead the search for Brandon. Jeff shares new insight into:
Why the original search area was too small
How Brandon’s final phone call changed the investigation
The challenges of finding remains after so many years
How “Brandon’s Law” came to be after the sheriff’s office initially refused to take a report
What the public can do to properly support search and rescue efforts
This is one of the most thorough looks yet at the ongoing effort to find Brandon Swanson — and the people still searching for answers.
