In this episode of Crime Bit with Danelle Hallan, we examine the November 2023 disappearance of 33-year-old Jared McCullik after his truck was found abandoned on a remote gravel road near the Wabash River with the keys still inside and his two dogs left behind. Jared had driven hundreds of miles from home and seemed to be rebuilding his life, making the sudden trip and his disappearance even harder to understand.

Part 1 follows how the first warning signs quickly turned into confusion. As his family retraced receipts, phone data, and conflicting information about where the truck was actually found, the case became less about one missing man and more about a timeline full of gaps, assumptions, and the growing fear that Jared did not simply walk away.
