In 2008, Brandon Swanson left a party in drove off into the night. After an unknown time, he got his Green Chevy Lumina got stuck in a ditch.  He called friends and family to rescue him, but they couldn't find him. His parents kept him on the phone throughout the search, until Brandon said "oh shit," and was never seen or heard from again.
