The Disappearance of Brandon Swanson: The 47-Minute Phone Call That Ends in Silence
Nineteen-year-old Brandon Swanson vanished into the darkness of rural Minnesota after a late-night drive, a wrong turn, and a 47-minute phone call with his parents that ended with two haunting words: “Oh, s*.”
He was calm.
He was walking.
He believed he was heading toward the lights of town.
But he was miles from where he thought he was — and miles from the parents frantically searching for him.
What happened after that final moment remains one of the most baffling unsolved disappearances in American true crime.
In this extended episode of Tales of the Twisted, we explore Brandon’s last known steps, the massive search that followed, the landscape capable of swallowing a person whole, and the heartbreaking legacy his disappearance left behind — including Brandon’s Law, which forever changed how missing adults are investigated.
If you’re drawn to stories of eerie vanishings, real-world mysteries, and cases where the answers remain just out of reach, this is an episode you won’t forget.
