Commenters’ Choice Friday-The Disappearance of Bryce Laspisa

You asked. We delivered.
This week’s case comes from a commenter who wrote:

“Please talk about Bryce Laspisa. The case is so eerie — the drive, the calls, the crash… and then nothing. He just vanished.”


Let’s break it down.

August 30, 2013
Bryce Laspisa, 19, was driving from Sierra College to his parents’ home in Laguna Niguel, CA. He never made it.

After a series of strange late-night phone calls and a 90-minute nap at the side of the road, Bryce’s car was found wrecked and empty at Castaic Lake. The back window was shattered from the inside — but no blood, no Bryce.

Surveillance shows he sat in his car for hours before driving off the embankment. But why?
His final known contact with his mom was calm.
No evidence of foul play. No confirmed sightings. No digital trail.
Just… gone.

Theories swirl — suicide, foul play, voluntary disappearance, psychotic break.
But 12 years later, the mystery remains.


Do you think Bryce planned his disappearance? Or did something go terribly wrong?
