On March 9, 2023, Shane Barton vanished from his home in Rochester, Washington. No phone. No wallet. No trace. Just... gone.

This season on Hide and Seek, we unravel the mystery of Shane's disappearance. We explore the moments leading up to that fateful day—was his vanishing an act of free will, a tragic accident, or the result of something far more sinister? The haunting questions leave us wondering: Did Shane walk away from his life, or does a far darker truth lie hidden beneath the surface?

James is back in Thurston County, a place that has become all too familiar over the past year. This isn’t just a routine trip —it's a return to where it all started, the ground zero of Shane Barton’s disappearance.
