Bryce Laspisa
Missing since August 31, 2013, from Castaic, California.
Bryce Laspisa, an artistically talented, kind, charming, and charismatic 19-year-old from a tight-knit family, was seemingly thriving in his freshman year at the college he and his family had moved across the country to attend. At the start of his sophomore year, things seemed to change for Bryce; he had increased his alcohol intake, and he seemed more distant from his friends and family. In the late-night hours of August 30, 2013, Bryce called his mother, informing her that he would be making the drive to their home, and urged her to tell his girlfriend, Kim, to give him back his keys, which she had taken because he was ‘acting erratically. The following morning after his parents received a call from their insurance company regarding a request for roadside assistance, they learned that Bryce had met a mechanic on the side of a road, and even after assistance, remained in the same location for more than 13 hours. Bryce never made it home that night and has not been seen or heard from since. If you have any information regarding Bryce’s whereabouts or the individual(s) responsible for his disappearance, please contact ‘Find Bryce Laspisa’ at (949) 292-4400. View the digital case file
