On May 6, 2020, three-year-old Dylan Ehler vanished while playing in his grandmother’s backyard in Truro, Nova Scotia

His grandmother claims she had briefly turned away to leash a dog, and in that fleeting moment, Dylan disappeared.

A massive search followed, but the only trace ever found were his two rubber boots—discovered caught in debris in a shallow brook not far from the property.

With little progress in finding Dylan, the case has taken on a life of its own online. Fueled by speculation and emotion, it has become a magnet for conspiracy theories, unrelenting armchair detectives, disturbing ransom hoaxes, and a cyberbullying case that ended up before the courts.

In this series, we explore all of it—from the facts of Dylan’s disappearance to the chaos that followed.

In part one we are joined by Dylan's father Jason Ehler to discuss his missing son Dylan Ehler.

In Part two our guest is the last person to see Dylan prior to his disappearance, his grandmother Dorothy Parsons who shares her memories of Dylan’s last known day.
