Randy Cuddy

About this episode

Around 11PM on August 16, 2017, 60-year-old Randy Cuddy left his residence in Apple Valley, California to head to work. Randy never made it to his place of employment and was never seen again. His car was found several weeks later in a remote area of the desert in Victorville, California. Randy’s family says that there are so many things that don’t add up about his disappearance, but the police maintain that there is no evidence that Randy met with foul play. What happened to Randy on his way to work on August 16th, 2017? Did he walk away from his life or did something far more sinister happen?

If you have any information about Randy’s disappearance, please call the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office at 760-552-6800.
