On a dark road in Castaic, California, on the evening of August 30, 2013, a silver Toyota Highlander was reported on its side in the middle of a lane with airbags deployed and no sign of the driver. Since then, the case has been featured on numerous podcasts, documentaries, and television programs. The family still has no answers and is holding onto hope that the mystery of what happened to Bryce will someday get solved.

Multiple missing persons websites have been created that share the story of Bryce, who would now be 30 years old. The crash site was a short distance from a nearby lake, and some speculate the dazed driver may have wandered there after exiting the car.
