Ryan Singleton, a 24-year-old aspiring writer and filmmaker left his home in Atlanta, Georgia for what was supposed to be a weekend trip to Los Angeles in early July 2013 and hoped to jump start his acting career.

On July 6, 2013, Ryan Singleton rented a car and drove to Las Vegas. On his return trip to Los Angeles, the vehicle broke down in the Mojave Desert on July 9th and two California Highway Patrol officers spotted him walking on the road, picked him up and dropped him off at a rest stop or convenience store near Baker, California

Singleton called a friend to pick him up, but that friend was a three-hour drive away. Singleton made a purchase and walked outside the store and vanished. When his friend arrived, Singleton was nowhere to be found. A missing persons report was filed.

On September 21, 2013, Ryan's body was found by two joggers/hikers with his heart, lungs, kidney, liver and eyes missing about two miles from the convenience store where he was last seen in an area that had been extensively searched by detectives and investigators.
