Ep. 21 - The Mystery of Bryce Laspisa

from Straight to the Case · host Jewel Lugo

Bryce Laspisa was a college student with no known enemies, no history of running away, and no clear reason to disappear. But over the course of a single night, a series of strange decisions, missed warnings, and unanswered phone calls would lead to a mystery that still haunts his family—and investigators—today. In this episode of Straight to the Case, we walk step by step through Bryce’s final known movements, the baffling behavior that raised red flags, and the moments where intervention might have changed everything. We examine the theories, the evidence, and the haunting question at the center of it all: did Bryce vanish by choice, by accident, or did something far darker happen? Some cases end with answers. This one leaves you staring at the gaps, wondering what was missed—and what may never be known. Listener discretion advised.
