The Story Of Bryce Laspisa And His Chilling Disappearance In California

The Story Of Bryce Laspisa And His Chilling Disappearance In California




On the morning of August 30, 2013, California Highway Patrol officers informed the parents of 19-year-old Bryce Laspisa that their son's car was found wrecked, driven off a 25-foot embankment near Castaic Lake — but there was no sign of Laspisa to be found.

The Baffling disappearance of Bryce Laspisa, the 19 year old who may have walked away from his own life 

"I love you bro, seriously. You are the best person I’ve ever met. You saved my soul."⁠
That was the last message Sean Dixon ever received from his roommate and best friend, Bryce Laspisa, in August 2013. Both sophomores at Sierra College in Rocklin, California, the two were growing apart as Laspisa began to withdraw into his own private world of drugs and alcohol. He gave away a pair of diamond earrings gifted to him by his mother as well as the Xbox he used to enjoy so much.⁠
Then, in the dead of night on August 30, Laspisa disappeared on a mountain road in Kern County, ostensibly on his way home to visit his family. Over the course of eight long years since Laspisa's vanishing, his parents have repeatedly seen their hopes turn to despair as clue after clue has only led to dead ends. Click the link in our bio to go inside one of the most haunting and tragic missing persons cases in recent history.⁠


In the early hours of Aug. 30, 2013, 19-year-old Bryce Laspisa was on his way to his parents’ house in Laguna Niguel, California. At 2 a.m., he called his mother to tell her that he was pulling off to the side of Interstate 5 in the Sierra Pelona Mountains. It was the last Michael and Karen Laspisa heard from their son.

What should have been a three-hour afternoon drive turned into half a day of waiting. When the doorbell rang the next morning, the Laspisas hoped to see their son waiting for them. Instead, they received news no parent wants to hear: Laspisa’s car had been found wrecked near Castaic Lake.

There was no trace of Bryce Laspisa, and too this day, none has been found. Here’s the whole story of one of the most tragic — and baffling — missing persons cases of recent years.

Bryce Laspisa’s Happy Childhood Before The Trouble Began

Bryce Laspisa was an only child born on April 30, 1994, to Karen and Michael Laspisa in Springfield, Illinois. He demonstrated artistic talent early on, as well as an easy, charming manner which made it easy for him to win friends.

In 2012, Laspisa graduated from Naperville Central High School outside of Chicago. His parents, newly retired, decided to move the family to California, settling in Laguna Niguel, Orange County. Soon after arriving, Laspisa moved north to Chico, just 90 miles past Sacramento. He was about to begin his freshman year studying graphic and industrial design at Sierra College.

His first year went smoothly. He got good grades, formed a close friendship with his roommate, Sean Dixon, and began dating fellow student Kim Sly. During summer break, he told his parents, girlfriend, and friends that he was eager to go back to school. All seemed well, and his future was bright.

When Bryce Laspisa returned to Sierra two weeks before classes were to resume, he seemed fresh and eager. Karen described a phone call they had after his return as normal conversation. He attended classes and reunited with his friends.

Soon, however, Laspisa’s life seemed to slowly unravel. Sean and Kim noticed subtle changes in his behavior: He was becoming more withdrawn, erratic, depressed. Kim recalled that Laspisa admitted to taking Vyvanse, an amphetamine derivative used to treat ADHD, a condition he didn’t have — and with severe side effects including psychosis, depression, and mania.

Sean Dixon reported that Laspisa began drinking hard liquor every day — as much as two fifths in a single weekend — and confirmed Sly’s claim that his roommate had been taking Vyvanse. Laspisa confessed to Kim that he’d taken the drug to stay up playing video games, and although she was alarmed, he seemed dismissive. Something seemed to have gone terribly wrong with him, but no one was quite sure what had happened.

Bryce Laspisa’s Increasingly Unusual Behavior Before His Disappearance

According to Sean and Kim, Byrce’s use of Vyvanse became alarmingly frequent during the first two weeks of the fall semester. On August 27, he broke up with Kim by text message, saying that she’d be “better off without [him].”

He also sent Sean an unusually heartfelt text message reading “I love you bro, seriously. You are the best person I’ve ever met. You saved my soul.” That same day, he’d given Sean his Xbox and gave away a pair of diamond earrings given to him by his mother.

On August 28, Sean called Karen Laspisa to tell her that he was worried about her son. Later that night, Laspisa called Karen. He was at Kim’s home, and she was concerned enough about his behavior that she’d taken the keys to his 2003 Toyota Highlander away, believing that he was in no condition to drive. He informed his mother of the argument, and Karen quickly convinced Kim to return his keys and told her son to go home to bed.

Karen offered to fly north to check on him, but he told her not to come until he’d spoken to her the next day. “I have a lot to talk to you about,” he said. He left Kim’s apartment at 11:30 p.m.

A Long, Fateful Drive Into The California Night

At 1 a.m. on August 29, Bryce Laspisa called his mother once more. Although she assumed he was calling from his apartment, phone records later showed that he’d called from a location about an hour’s drive south of Rocklin.

Then, at 11 a.m., she and her husband were notified that Laspisa had used their insurance’s roadside assistance service. A man named Christian, owner of Castro Tire and Gas in the town of Buttonwillow, reported that he’d delivered three gallons of gasoline to their son after he ran out of fuel around 9 a.m. Christian offered to return to the spot where he’d seen Laspisa.

There, he discovered Laspisa hadn’t moved in hours. Christian approached to tell him that his parents were worried, and called them to let them know their son’s location. Laspisa agreed to make the three-hour drive home, and Christian watched as he drove off around 3 p.m.

Hours passed, and still the Laspisas hadn’t heard from Laspisa, so they reluctantly filed a missing persons report with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department. By tracking his cell phone, two officers were able to locate him just a few miles from where Christian had seen him. The officers reported that he seemed lucid and friendly, and showed no signs of intoxication, nor were any drugs or alcohol found in his vehicle.

The police told Laspisa that his parents were worried, and when he seemed hesitant to call them, finally dialed for him. Karen told him to come home, and called Christian to check on him. By this point, Michael and Karen were relieved when Christian called to confirm that their son had gotten back onto I-5 and headed south.

Bryce Laspisa’s Baffling Disappearance

In the early morning hours of August 30, 2013, Bryce Laspisa was seen by security cameras driving up a mountain road toward a recreation area in Castaic Lake, California twice in a row — then he was never seen again.

In the early hours of Aug. 30, 2013, 19-year-old Bryce Laspisa was on his way to his parents’ house in Laguna Niguel, California. At 2 a.m., he called his mother to tell her that he was pulling off to the side of Interstate 5 in the Sierra Pelona Mountains. It was the last Michael and Karen Laspisa heard from their son.

“I’ve thought about every possible scenario about where he could be and what could’ve happened to him,” Kim Sly later said, about Bryce Laspisa.

Castaic Lake, where Laspisa’s car was later discovered. Some investigators believe that he made a failed suicide attempt before setting off to start a new life in disguise.

At 1 a.m. on August 29, Bryce Laspisa called his mother once more. Although she assumed he was calling from his apartment, phone records later showed that he’d called from a location about an hour’s drive south of Rocklin.

Then, at 11 a.m., she and her husband were notified that Laspisa had used their insurance’s roadside assistance service. A man named Christian, owner of Castro Tire and Gas in the town of Buttonwillow, reported that he’d delivered three gallons of gasoline to their son after he ran out of fuel around 9 a.m. Christian offered to return to the spot where he’d seen Laspisa.

By this point, Michael and Karen were relieved when Christian called to confirm that their son had gotten back onto I-5 and headed south.

At 2 a.m. on August 30, Bryce Laspisa called his mother one last time to tell her that he was too tired to drive anymore and would pull off the road to sleep. She agreed with the decision, and expected to see him in the morning.

But when the doorbell rang six hours later, it wasn’t their son the Laspisas found at their doorstep, but a California Highway Patrol Officer. Laspisa’s car had been found abandoned near Castaic Lake. The rear window had been shattered, and his phone, laptop, and wallet were found inside, but there was no trace of Bryce himself.

Surveillance footage showed that at 2:15 a.m., he’d turned onto an access road rather than pulling off for a roadside nap. Divers dredged Castaic Lake and found no trace of him. Police dogs tracked his scent across a bridge to a nearby truck stop, where the trail went cold.

On Sept. 4, 2013, charred remains found near Castaic Lake were found not to belong to Bryce Laspisa. Four years later, a skull found off nearby Templin Highway was likewise ruled out. Similar reports over the years have also left investigators empty-handed.

Without a body, detectives were unable to close the case. A number of theories were proposed to explain Laspisa’s disappearance. That he’d left behind his phone and wallet could indicate that he intended to abandon his old life for a new one, either under an assumed identity or off the grid.

It’s possible that his drug and alcohol use provoked a psychotic break, or withdrawal from Vyvanse caused a sudden severe depression. It’s also possible that he did die on or around the night of August 30, and his remains have yet to be found.

Whatever the truth, his disappearance was a tragedy for those close to him. “I’ll never give up hope, but it’s really difficult,” his mother told reporters. “It’s gut-wrenching, every day not knowing. It’s a living nightmare.”

In the years since his disappearance, no further clues have emerged. His parents still issue missing persons posters, and remain hopeful that someday they’ll learn the truth.

How To Fix A Broken Relationship

Hurt is inevitable in significant relationships. Yet pain and strife do not have to mean a relationship is going to end. Many couples find that working through trouble actually makes their relationship even stronger. What they realize is that all relationship require work, love, and patience to succeed, and this is especially true when trying to mend a broken relationship. 1. Determine if the other person wants to fix the relationship. There is no sense in trying to fix something if you are the only one willing to do the work. If your partner is unapologetic for mistakes, dismissive of your desire to talk, or continues hurtful behavior, it might be time to move on. It takes two people to mend a broken relationship. If you are the only one trying to save things then you will never succeed. 2. Determine why the relationship is in trouble. All relationships go through rough patches at one point or another. As the novelty of your first few months together wears off, problem...

Two fall to their deaths down an elevator shaft during robbery

Two fall to their deaths down an elevator shaft during robbery The bodies of two would-be thieves named Robert Green and Jacob Jagendorf after a failed robbery attempt that ended when they accidentally fell down the building's elevator shaft in New York in 1915.⁠ ⁠For more photos of crime scenes of yesteryear reimagined in color, follow the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ There are robberies, robberies gone wrong, and robberies gone horribly wrong. In the latter category was this effort by Robert Green and Jacob Jagendorf. Green was a night watchman (some accounts say elevator operator) at a New York City shirt factory, and apparently conceived a way to use his access to pull off a theft of expensive silk fabric. Late one night, he and Jagendorf stopped an elevator on the fifth floor of the building, wedged the doors open, and proceeded to load in bolts of the pricy fabric, doing so in the dark to avoid alerting any observers outside the building. At some point the elevator rose to the tenth f...

How Serial Killer Albert Fish’s Letter To The Parents Of One Of His Victims Finally Landed Him In Prison

How Serial Killer Albert Fish’s Letter To The Parents Of One Of His Victims Finally Landed Him In Prison In 1934, Albert Fish wrote a letter to Grace Budd’s mother and described how he'd murdered her before cutting her into pieces and eating her flesh. "Dear Mrs. Budd, On June 3, 1928, I called on you at 406 W. 15 St. and brought you pot cheese and strawberries. We had lunch. Grace sat on my lap and kissed me. I made up my mind to eat her." Grace Budd had been missing for six years when her mother received this disturbing note in the mail. It detailed exactly how her 10-year-old daughter had been abducted, murdered, and then roasted like a turkey. Though the letter was unsigned, investigators were eventually able to trace it back to a gray-haired old man named Albert Fish.  While plenty of Americans spent the Roaring Twenties at wild parties, Albert Fish developed a taste for human flesh. Known as the “Brooklyn Vampire,” he lured children into abandoned homes to kill them...

Inside The Puzzling Death Of Alexander The Great And The Disturbing Theories Behind It

Inside The Puzzling Death Of Alexander The Great And The Disturbing Theories Behind It After spending several hours drinking with friends in 323 B.C.E., 32-year-old Alexander the Great suddenly came down with a fever and began complaining of sharp pain in his back. Though he continued to drink wine, he struggled to quench his thirst — and before long, he could not move or speak. In a matter of days, the legendary Macedonian king was dead, much to the dismay of his loyal subjects. And millennia later, we still don't know exactly what caused Alexander the Great's demise.

Most of the crime thrillers of the world are inspired by reality. For crime thriller addicts, it can be interesting to know that many such crimes have been unresolved.

Meet Oliver Sipple, the veteran who saved President Ford's life - and was punished for it

Meet Oliver Sipple, the veteran who saved President Ford's life - and was punished for it In 1975, a disabled Vietnam vet named Oliver Sipple saved President Gerald Ford from an assassin. Although Sipple was hailed a hero at first, the tide quickly turned when the media outed him as a gay man. Not only did the exposure of his homosexuality overshadow his heroic act, it also led to his family essentially disowning him. Years later, Sipple's lifeless body was found next to a cheap bottle of bourbon in his apartment. He'd been dead for nearly two weeks before anyone found him.

A Germany Regiment marching down from their mountain positions surrender to the Americans, Austria, 1945

A Germany Regiment marching down from their mountain positions surrender to the Americans, Austria, 1945 After Germany's surrender in May 1945, millions of German soldiers remained prisoners of war. In France, their internment lasted a particularly long time. But, for some former soldiers, it was a path to rehabilitation. After Germany's surrender in May 1945, millions of German soldiers remained prisoners of war. In France, their internment lasted a particularly long time. But, for some former soldiers, it was a path to rehabilitation. French units lost out to US soldiers in the last meters of the race to reach Adolf Hitler's destroyed Alpine headquarters, the Berghof. But French troops in southern Germany in early May 1945 nonetheless made good progress, capturing one town after the other. After four years of Nazi occupation, France, under General Charles de Gaulle, joined the ultimately victorious Allied powers in 1944. And the country made sure the defeated German natio...

How To Ask For A Date

Asking someone out on a date can be stressful and anxiety-inducing. If you've ever felt overwhelmed or uncertain on how to approach asking someone out, don't worry, you're not alone. The stress of asking someone out combined with fear of rejection prevent many people from taking the first step in a romantic relationship. In America, 64% of people are single. Luckily, there are a couple of simple strategies and techniques that you can use to get a date with someone and overcome the fears that you may have. 1. Make eye contact and smile. Eye contact and smiling are two universal acts of flirting. Looking at someone from across a room lets them know that you notice them.

Don't force a smile or stare at them, however! -You can meet a potential date at school, work, a grocery store, a bar, or in other social situatio...
