Four people. Four vanishings. No clear answers.

In this episode of Dead Ends, we look at four deeply unsettling disappearance cases that still leave huge questions behind: the Sodder Children, Brian Shaffer, Brandon Swanson, and Danny Filippidis.

From children who disappeared during a house fire, to a man who walked out of a bar and was never seen again, to a student who vanished after a late-night phone call, to a skier who somehow reappeared thousands of miles away — these are cases where the trail goes cold fast.

We break down the facts, the timelines, the strange details, and the theories people still argue about today.

Cases covered:

6:28 Danny Filippidis

18:38 Brandon Swanson

31:34 The Sodder Children

49:24 Brian Shaffer
