Glen and Bessie Hyde were married in Twin Falls, Idaho on April 10, 1928. He was twenty-seven, she had just turned eighteen. At the end of summer that year, they constructed a boat for a planned honeymoon adventure: a trip down the Colorado River to California.
Glen was an experienced river rafter who wanted to set a new speed record for travelling through the Grand Canyon, which would have put Bessie in the book as the first documented woman to do so.
Sometime during that trip, the young couple disappeared forever. What was supposed to be a record-breaking boat trip through the Grand Canyon turned into a mystery that remains unsolved nearly 100 years later. Glen and Bessie were young and in love, and had their whole lives ahead of them. All of it was lost on the Colorado River in 1928.
The couple's disappearance has of course spawned many theories over the years - join me as we try and put the pieces of the puzzle together.
