Brandon Swanson /// Missing /// Part 3

Part 3 of 3 

Original Release: 9-2-2019

In May 2008, 19-year-old college student Brandon Swanson vanished without a trace after a late-night drive through rural Minnesota. In True Crime Garage Episode 332, Nic and the Captain dive deep into one of the most haunting and perplexing missing person cases in modern true crime history.

After attending a small gathering with friends, Brandon called his parents in the early morning hours to report that he had accidentally driven his car into a ditch. Believing he was near the town of Lynd, Minnesota, Brandon stayed on the phone with his father while attempting to walk toward distant town lights for help. What followed was a chilling and unforgettable moment. During the call, Brandon suddenly exclaimed, “Oh, shit!” before the line abruptly went silent. He was never heard from again.

In this episode, True Crime Garage carefully examines the timeline of Brandon Swanson’s final movements, the extensive search efforts across treacherous farmland and waterways, and the investigative challenges that have left this case unsolved for nearly two decades. Nic and the Captain also discuss the lasting impact Brandon’s disappearance has had on his family and how the case led to the creation of Brandon’s Law, which changed missing persons reporting procedures in Minnesota.

April Millsap ////// 901 

Part 1 of 1 

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com

The murder of a child is an unbearable tragedy, a nightmare for any parent. In the quiet, rural village of Armada, Michigan—a community so small it felt like a haven from big-city dangers—Jennifer Millsap believed her fourteen-year-old daughter, April, was safe. That belief was shattered on a July evening in 2014.
