Hey everybody welcome back to cold case murder mysteries.

I'm your host Ryan Kraus joining you once again to dissect another unsolved

mystery. In this episode we're headed to British Columbia Canada to take a

look at the baffling disappearance of 20-year-old Ryan Stuka who vanished upon leaving a party near Sun Peaks Resort in the early morning hours of February 17th, 2018, and hasn't been seen or heard from since.

In those four-plus years since Ryan's disappearance, extensive searches of the surrounding

relayed to us and then speculate about what really might have happened.

separated from one another for any significant period of time over the course of the last

two decades of Ryan's life.

Apparently, Ryan had worked with his father at some point after high school,
