Brandon Swanson

On the night of May 13, 2008, 19-year-old Brandon Swanson was driving home from a party after finishing his first year of college. Just after midnight, he called his parents. He’d driven into a ditch, he said. He wasn’t hurt—just frustrated, and he needed a ride.What followed was a 47-minute phone call—nearly an hour of confusion and missed turns. Brandon’s parents tried desperately to find him in the dark, rural backroads of southwestern Minnesota, but then the call went silent, and Brandon Swanson hasn’t been seen since.Over the years, many theories have emerged about what happened to Brandon, but none have led to the teenager who was just trying to get home.If you have any information about the disappearance of Brandon Swanson, please contact the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office at 507-694-1664 or the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension at 877-996-6222. You can remain anonymous.Subscribe to Day by Day: True Crime StoriesBuy the ebook! - And Then They Were Gone: True Stories of Those Who Went Missing and Never Came HomeSubmit a caseFind us everywhereGet episodes early and ad-free on PatreonMerch storeFor a full list of our sources, please visit our blogOur Sponsors:* Check out Acorns Early: https://acornsearly.com/ATTWG* Check out BetterHelp: https://betterhelp.com/attwg* Check out Earth Breeze: https://earthbreeze.com/attwg* Check out Homeaglow: https://homeaglow.com/ATTWG* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.com* Check out Mood and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
