Episode #70: Eric Pyles - Missing (2000)

Updated: Jul 29, 2022

Eric Pyles got off the bus after a typical day. Instead of walking home he walked to Jonestown Bible Church. He was seen by a church worker and it assumed he was going to use the bathroom. That was the last time he was seen. The worker left later that night and saw footprints headed to the woods. Bloodhounds confirmed his scent to the woods as well. Did a rough home life contribute to him walking off or did his bad habits of running away and hitch hiking lead to his demise?
