Newlyweds Glen and Bessie Hyde went on a white water rafting trip down the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon in 1928. One month later, their boat was found fully intact, with all of their gear and supplies (including Bessie’s diary) perfectly preserved. But the couple had disappeared. It’s been nearly a century since then, and their bodies have never been recovered. There has never been any proof of what happened to them. Was there an accident on the river? Did they both drown? Was Glen murdered by a famous photographer or by Bessie herself? Join us as we explore the tragic, mysterious disappearance of Glen and Bessie Hyde.
