In the summer of 2023, 13-year-old James Yoblonski from Reedsburg, Wisconsin, vanished under mysterious circumstances. On June 12, after a seemingly normal evening, James left his home in the family van, taking a backpack, duffle bags, and several items from his father’s belongings. Surveillance footage tracked him to his father’s business and then to Devil’s Lake State Park, where his abandoned van and makeshift campsite were later discovered. Despite extensive searches by police, including helicopters and canine units, no concrete evidence of James' whereabouts emerged. As weeks turned into months, the search expanded to include electronic and search history analysis, but James remained missing. His father, Bill, believes his son is still alive and desperately wants James to come home. Join Ali and Eli as we get into this heartbreaking case.
