The body of 24-year-old Ryan Singleton lay in the California desert for two-and-a-half months before a pair of passing joggers found him. The dried, decayed corpse was missing its eyes and internal organs.

Singleton had disappeared from a Baker, California, gas station in the middle of July 2013. No one knew where he went—and to this day, no one knows how this model and aspiring actor ended up dead in the desert.

Courage to Dream

Singleton had good looks and ambition. He had enough talent and enough people skills to make it into the world of professional modeling and dreamed of getting into movies.
