Bryce Laspisa returned to college for his sophomore year after a successful freshman year and a great summer. But within days of the new semester, his behaviour took a sudden and troubling turn—he began staying up all night, drinking heavily, and misusing Vyvanse (a stimulant similar to Adderall) without a prescription.

One night while acting erratically, he calls his mother and says he has something important to tell her. Soon after, he sets off on what should have been a simple seven-hour drive from his college in Rocklin, California to his parents’ home. But Bryce never arrives.

The next 30 hours remain a perplexing mystery—filled with multiple phone calls to his parents and even a welfare check by police. Then, nearly 30 hours after he first set out, his car is found crashed and abandoned at the bottom of a steep embankment. Yet, there’s no sign of Bryce.

Join us as we retrace the final hours before Bryce Laspisa vanished, piecing together the strange circumstances and theories surrounding his disappearance.
