254 - The Vanishing of Joseph Helt
In January of 1987, seventeen year old Joseph Helt mysteriously disappeared after leaving a high school party. When his close friend wasn't able to give him a ride, Joe had to hop in with three other guys and though they all made it home, he never did.
According to his companions that night, their car got stuck in a ditch and Joe, frustrated and tired, decided to walk the five miles home in 8 degree weather without a coat, gloves or boots. He has never been seen again.
Almost as quickly as Joe disppeared rumors began circulating that the teen hadn't gone missing at all, but instead was murdered by the trio he'd accepted a ride from. Nearly forty years later, Joe has never been found and the truth of his fate remains unknown.
