Episode 22 - Skylar Peterson Tosic: An Escape for Freedom or A Boy Who Was Brainwashed?

Skylar Peterson Tosic was just 20 years old when he up and left his family home in Escondido in California on the 30th of August 2015. Apart from a few cryptic text messages he sent to his mother on the day he disappeared, nobody has seen or heard from him since. This episode explores how Skylar’s behaviour changed in the lead up to his disappearance and questions what might have happened to him. We also discuss the similarities and differences between Skylar’s case and the case of Bear Diaz.
