On September 6th, 2010, 48-year-old Stuart Isaac left his Burtonsville home on a cross country trip to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, and was never seen or heard from again.

He left a note for his family on September 6th letting them know he was going on a cross-country trip (no return date was mentioned) and left in his black, 2009 Lexus IS-250. Two and a half weeks later, on September 24, 2010, Stuart called Matsue Evens- an old friend from high school who was living in Guam. Evens stated she found the call odd since they usually communicated via text message or e-mail due to living in different time zones, but they spoke for approximately two hours. During the call, Stuart told her he was heading to Yellowstone, which was 32 hours away from his Burtonsville home.
During a routine night patrol on September 26, 2010, Stuart’s Lexus (with vanity license plate BELLEK) was found abandoned at Craig Pass, located on the lower grand loop road in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. The car was locked with the keys still inside, but there were no traces of Stuart. With no hiking trails in the area, an air and ground search began almost immediately upon finding his vehicle, but no clues as to the whereabouts of Stuart were ever found.
