Seventeen-year-old Roger Ellison vanished without a trace from Cedaredge High School in 1981. A gifted skier with dreams of joining the U.S. national team, Roger had a bright future aheadâcollege acceptance, a scholarship, and plans for an upcoming race. But after a brief conversation at his locker, Roger was never seen again. What followed was a painful and frustrating journey for his family, who were met with indifference from law enforcement and a string of dead-end leads. Despite sporadic tipsâincluding a suspicious teacher, a false sighting in Mississippi, and a chilling deathbed confession from a hunter who claimed to witness Rogerâs murderâno trace of Roger has ever been found. Over four decades later, his case remains unsolved, leaving his loved ones and community with haunting questions and a desperate hope for answers.
