On the night of August 28, 2013, 19-year-old college sophomore Bryce Laspisa left his apartment near Sacramento, California, and began driving south toward his parents’ home in Orange County. But he never made it there.
In the early morning hours of August 30, Bryce’s SUV was found wrecked at the bottom of a ravine near Castaic Lake. His wallet, duffel bag, laptop, and phone were all recovered. But Bryce himself was gone.
Despite massive searches, no trace of him has ever been found. It’s been twelve years since Bryce vanished, and his disappearance remains one of California’s most haunting mysteries.
19-year-old Bryce Laspisa was last heard from at 2:08 a.m. on August 30, 2013, when he told his mother he was too tired to drive and planned to sleep in his car.
At 5:30 a.m., his Toyota Highlander was found at the bottom of a ravine near Castaic Lake. Tracking dogs followed his scent across the dam and toward a nearby truck stop. But no trace of Bryce was ever found.
When he disappeared, Bryce was 5-foot-11, 170 pounds, with red hair and blue eyes. He has a tattoo of a Taurus bull head with a Roman numeral on his left shoulder. He was last seen wearing white cargo shorts, a blue and white checkered shirt, and white and red Nike shoes.
