About this episode

This episode investigates the haunting disappearance of Ryan Shtuka after a night out at Sun Peaks Resort.

February 17th, 2018: after a night out at Sun Peaks Resort in British Columbia, a 20-year-old leaves a house party for the short walk back to staff housing and is never seen again. A winter storm batters the mountain village with plunging temperatures, gusting winds, and fresh snow. Search dogs, helicopters, drones, and hundreds of volunteers scour the resort and surrounding terrain, but find nothing. No body, no clothing, no phone, no trace. Join us this week as we investigate the haunting disappearance of Ryan Shtuka. Episode note: We apologize for the weird background hum. We've been dealing with heavy rain for almost a week and like clockwork, a thunderstorm rolled in as we started recording.
