In this episode, we are discussing the mysterious disappearance of Bob Wykel, a retired sheet metal worker from Washington with a passion for restoring classic cars. In February 1996, Bob went to check out a Ford Thunderbird he was interested in purchasing, but he never returned. The only person known to have been with him at the time was the man who helped facilitate the deal. Years later, this man was convicted of murdering Bob, but Bob’s body was never found.
