MISSING: Ryan Shtuka

2025/4/15

Moms and Mysteries: A True Crime Podcast

Shownotes Transcript

This week we are breaking down the mysterious disappearance of 20-year-old Ryan Shtuka. On a cold February night in 2018, Ryan left a house party in Sun Peaks, British Columbia, expecting a short walk home. But he was never seen again. What should have been a 10-15 minute walk turned into a haunting mystery that continues to unsettle the local community. Join us as we follow Ryan’s family on their emotional journey, their tireless search for answers, and the global movement that grew from this heartbreaking case.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Kamloops Rural RCMP at 250-314-1800 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-8477.
