This is Part 2 of a two-part series. If you haven't already, be sure to listen to Part 1 first, where I walk through Ryan's life, the events leading up to his disappearance, and the timeline of what happened on the night he vanished. This episode builds directly from that conversation.

In Part 2, my sister, Dr. Vassel, and I dive deeper into the unanswered questions surrounding Ryan Shtuka's disappearance. Together, we discuss publicly available information, witness accounts, investigative details, and the theories that continue to surround this case nearly eight years later.

After recording our original conversation, Dr. Vassel spoke with someone who has spent years independently searching for Ryan and researching the case. That conversation raised additional questions and provided new perspectives, so we recorded a follow-up discussion that's included in this episode.

Our goal is not to sensationalize Ryan's disappearance or present speculation as fact. Any theories discussed in this episode are exactly that—theories. We hope that by having respectful conversations and keeping Ryan's story in the public eye, someone may remember a detail, come forward with information, or help move this case one step closer to answers.

If you have any information about Ryan Shtuka's disappearance—no matter how insignificant it may seem—please contact:

Kamloops RCMP Non-Emergency: (• Crime Stoppers: 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers BC.

Ryan's family has never stopped searching for him. They continue returning to Sun Peaks every year, hoping to finally bring their son home.

Thank you for listening, for keeping Ryan's name alive, and for approaching this conversation with compassion. If this episode reaches even one person who remembers something or encourages someone to come forward, then sharing Ryan's story is worth it. Please share this episode with anyone you can to ensure we get more eyes and ears on this case. Hopefully someday Ryans family can get the answers they deserve.
