On July 1, 2018, 28-year-old Kevin Graves vanished while attending the Electric Forest Music Festival in Rothbury, Michigan. Kevin had traveled to the festival with his girlfriend and friends, but during the weekend, he disappeared after reportedly walking away from the group while agitated and distressed.

When Kevin failed to return home, his loved ones immediately knew something was wrong. Extensive search efforts began almost immediately across the festival grounds and surrounding wooded areas. But despite years of searching, no trace of Kevin was found.

Then, more than six years later, human remains discovered near the festival grounds were identified as Kevin Graves. In 2025, the medical examiner ruled his cause of death undetermined, stating there was no evidence of trauma and no clear indication of what happened in the hours after Kevin disappeared.

This replay revisits Kevin’s case and includes an update at the end of the episode on the discovery of his remains and the status of the investigation today.
