Ryan Shtuka

Ryan Shtuka disappeared on February 17, 2018, while at a party in Sun Peaks, British Columbia. On February 16, Ryan had left home after work and went with his roommates to a local pub for a Silent Disco event. The group later left the pub and went to a house party, located just a few minutes away from their residence. The night of the party saw a snow storm hit the area. When his roommates left the party on Burfield Drive at around 2:10 a.m., Ryan was seen standing up. They believed that he would follow behind. When he failed to return home and didn’t turn up for work later that same day, they called police. Ryan has not been active on social media or cellular networks since his disappearance. Did Ryan get lost and succumb to the elements, or was foul played involved? Ryan’s case was featured on Season 3 Episode 12 of Paramount’s Never Seen Again.
