Bradley Hansen was 13 when he disappeared from Phoenix, Arizona, on November 10, 1995. That day was a school holiday that Bradley did not tell his mother about; he left home as if it were a normal school day and rode his bicycle to the house of friend and classmate Jeremy Bach. When Bradley did not answer pages and did not come home from the friend’s house, his mother reported him missing that evening.

Initially treated as a runaway based on Jeremy’s account, the case changed about two months later after sanitation workers noticed blood on the Bach family’s trash container. A search of the dumpster and the Bach kitchen uncovered a large amount of blood and other bodily fluids. Confronted with that evidence, Jeremy changed his story and admitted he had shot Bradley in the chest and placed the body in the dumpster; the dumpster contents were taken to the Butterfield Station Landfill. An extensive, two-month, $100,000 search of the landfill failed to locate Bradley’s remains.

Investigators questioned the claim the shooting was accidental, noting Jeremy offered multiple versions of events and made no effort to get help for Bradley, who Jeremy said took over an hour to die.

If anyone knew Bradley, his routine that November, or has information about what happened, please come forward.
