Episode Details

August Reiger asked his parents for a trip to a Spanish-speaking country to celebrate his high school graduation, as he was fluent in Spanish and loved learning about new cultures.
So just weeks after graduation, his parents and younger brother left Oklahoma for a two-week vacation in Baños, Ecuador.
On Father’s Day, June 16, 2013, the family set off on a well-maintained hike near their hotel. After a short time, August walked ahead, planning to meet them at the top of an overlook.
When the rest of the family arrived at the overlook about 10 minutes later, August had mysteriously vanished and has never been seen again.
What happened to August Reiger?
