On this episode of Cold and Missing we look into the baffling missing person case of Brandon Swanson. After finishing his freshman year of college Brandon spent the day celebrating with friends, but on his drive home his car got stuck in a ditch. He called his parents and told them where he was. Brandon stayed on the phone with his parents the entire time but when they arrived to where Brandon said he was - he was nowhere to be found. Growing frustrated Brandon told his parents he was going to start walking towards the lights of the nearby town and they could pick him up there. Brandon’s parents stayed on the phone with him for another 47 minutes while he walked until they heard Brandon say “oh, shit” and the phone call ended. The next day Brandon’s car was found about 25 miles away from where he said he was. Join Ali and Eli as we review this case.
