Show Notes

In August of 2004, 12-year-old Garrett Bardsley vanished during a Boy Scout camping trip in the Uinta Mountains of Utah. Just moments after stepping away to change out of wet clothes, Garrett was gone — without a sound, without a trace. Despite a massive search effort and national attention, no sign of Garrett has ever been definitively found. In this episode, we cover the disappearance of Garrett Bardsley, the heartbreaking search that followed, and the questions that remain unanswered two decades later.

*** If you have any information about Garrett Bardsley, or if you find yourself hiking the Uintas and see something unusual, his family asks that you report it to the Summit County Sheriff’s Office at 435-615-3600 ***
