Without a Trace… The Strange Disappearan...

Host: Pat Draven
About this episode

On a quiet Monday morning in August of 2024, a Florida man climbed into his white pickup truck and left for work. He picked up his tools. He waved to his mother.
And then… he was gone.

Surveillance footage caught his truck entering a public park.
But it never showed him leaving.

No phone calls.
No texts.
No footprints.
Just silence.

Who was Ian Rogers?
What happened after he turned down that road?
And what clues—if any—might still be hiding in plain sight?

In this episode of They Disappeared, Pat Draven unravels the chilling mystery of Ian’s disappearance—and the questions that still haunt those he left behind.

  • A father’s last known movements

  • The strange circumstances surrounding his truck

  • Theories ranging from accidental disappearance to foul play

  • What modern tools could finally solve this case

🕵️‍♂️ If you know something… say something.
