David Kramer was 19 and celebrating his graduation weekend with friends in Blanco Basin, Archuleta County, Colorado, in late May 2005. The group camped on the night of May 28; when friends woke the next morning, David was gone. Friends found signs suggesting he might have rolled off a high embankment about 30 feet above the Rito Blanco River, and his shoes were left where he had been seen sleeping. Investigators later also received information indicating he may have left the campsite voluntarily, creating two conflicting explanations for his disappearance.

Friends left the area individually the day after they woke to find him missing, each assuming he had gotten a ride; the group did not realize he was truly missing until a couple of days later, which delayed an official search. Extensive searches turned up no trace. The Archuleta County Sheriff’s Office lists the case as open. If anyone was in Blanco Basin that weekend or remembers seeing David, please share what you know.
