February 17th, 2018: after a night out at Sun Peaks Resort in British Columbia, a 20-year-old leaves a house party for the short walk back to staff housing and is never seen again. A winter storm batters the mountain village with plunging temperatures, gusting winds, and fresh snow. Search dogs, helicopters, drones, and hundreds of volunteers scour the resort and surrounding terrain, but find nothing. No body, no clothing, no phone, no trace. Join us this week as we investigate the haunting disappearance of Ryan Shtuka.<br /><br /><b>Episode note: We apologize for the weird background hum.  We've been dealing with heavy rain for almost a week and like clockwork, a thunderstorm rolled in as we started recording.</b><br /><b></b><br /><b>Learn more about Locations Unknown: <a href="https://linktr.ee/LocationsUnknown" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://linktr.ee/LocationsUnknown</a></b><br /><br />Check out our other shows on the Unknown Media Network:<br /><b><a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/crime-off-the-grid--6490101" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Crime Off The Grid</a><br /><a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/off-the-trails--6221956" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Off The Trails</a><br /><a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/hike-n-seek--6798616" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hike N' Seek </a><br /><a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/who-runs-this-park--6437607" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Who Runs This Park</a></b><br /><a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relish-with-alyssia-sheikh--6799955" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><b>Relish</b></a><br /><b></b><br />New Patreon Shoutouts: Andy Griffis, Aden Trauterman, Tiffany Schmidt<br /><br />Episode Suggestion Shoutout: Annette Purcell<br /><br />Get 35% of all orders at <b><a href="https://thehikerscache.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Hiker's Cache</a>, </b>the official store of Locations Unknown, by becoming a member on Patreon!<br /><br />Want to help the show out and get even more Locations Unknown content!  For as little as $5 a month, you can become a Patron of Locations Unknown and get access to our episodes early, special members only episode, free swag, swag contests, and discounts to our Locations Unknown Store!  Become a Patron of the Locations Unknown Podcast by visiting our <b><a href="https://www.patreon.com/locationsunknown" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patreon</a></b> page.  <b>(<a href="https://www.patreon.com/locationsunknown" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.patreon.com/locationsunknown</a>)  </b><br /><br />All our Patreon only content (Audio &amp; Video) can now be accessed via Spotify.  (Active subscription to our Patreon channel is required.) -- <b><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4gwFmgUDRJb0JFPUGS7Syo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Locations Unknown Subscriber Only Show | Podcast on Spotify</a></b>  <br /><br />Want to call into the show and leave us a message?  Now you can!  Call <a href="https://tel:208/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">208-391-6913</a> and leave Locations Unknown a voice message and we may air it on a future message! <br /><br />View live recordings of the show on our YouTube channel: <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn0Y9PiRoJmHRHYi0JZMixQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Locations Unknown - YouTube</a></b><br /><b></b><br /><b><a href="https://locationsunknown.com/episodes/ryan_shtuka_sun_peaks_bc_canada/#lu-sources" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">View Epispode Sources</a> </b><br /><b></b><br />Presented by Unknown Media Group.<b><br /></b><br />Hosts:<br />Mike Van de Bogert <br />Joe Erato<br /><br />Intro/Outro “Cornfield Chase” – Cinematic Waves &amp; Rafael Krux (licensed) → <a href="https://soundcloud.com/cinematicwav3s/cornfield-chase" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://soundcloud.com/cinematicwav3s/cornfield-chase</a><br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/locations-unknown--6183838/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/locations-unknown--6183838/support</a>.
