About this episode
What happens when a summer day on the river turns into every family's worst nightmare? In this gripping true story, you'll hear firsthand accounts of the terrifying moment Enrique — a 24-year-old college student affectionately known as Gordo — vanished beneath the surface of Oregon’s Siuslaw River and didn’t come back up. With no cell service, no emergency response nearby, and the clock ticking, panic swept through the crowd. Told through the voices of his sister Angie and a bystander named Ann, this episode unpacks the emotional rollercoaster of a near-fatal drowning and the heroic efforts of complete strangers who fought to save him.
