I don't know what happened to Ryan, but based on my research, Ryan wouldn't scare his friends and family by willingly not being in contact with anyone. Mr. Withee seemed to care about everyone in his life and was a source of strength and support to one of his friends that was going through a hard time around the time of Ryan's disappearance. If Ryan Withee's friends and family ever see or listens to this podcast episode, please know that all of you will be in my thoughts and prayers. If you have any information, please call: Milwaukee Police Department (Wisconsin) at 414-935-7262. Until next week, God bless and be kind to one another.
