Replay: Ian Eckles Part 3 - The Broken Window

This episode originally aired July 5, 2021. This episode originally aired July 5, 2021. Ian Eckles was last seen on May 16, 2020, as he left his home for a hunting trip in the mountains of Washington. He never met up with his friend as planned, and after days of no contact, a massive search began. The effort intensified when Ian’s vehicle was spotted being driven by another man.

By June 14, 2020, Ian was still missing. However, authorities apprehended the man believed to be responsible for his disappearance and murder. That man, Jorge Alcantara-Gonzalez, is also suspected in connection with at least two other deaths.

So, who is Alcantara-Gonzalez, and what happened to Ian?

After his arrest, Alcantara was taken directly into an interview with investigators. In Part 3 of this series, we share segments of that interview. Tune in to hear what Alcantara says happened, and how it compares to what investigators believe occurred the night Ian vanished.
