700 // Brandon Swanson

In this new episode, Crawlspace Media's Tim Pilleri and Lance Reenstierna discuss the disappearance of Brandon Swanson from southwestern Minnesota on May 14th, 2008.

While Brandon was driving home after celebrating the end of his college semester, he accidentally steered his sedan into a rural roadside ditch. Uninjured, he called his parents for assistance, remained on the call with them for 47 minutes while walking across farmland in the dark toward what he believed was a nearby town. The call ended abruptly after Brandon uttered a brief expletive ("Oh, shit!") followed by sudden silence.
