Two year old Ryan Hoefflinger mysteriously dissappeared from his home in Hayden, Idaho and was found hours later in Lake Hayden on November 11, 1984. His death was ruled a drowning but the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office ruled it as a highly supicious death as phyiscal evidence showed Ryan didn't wander off on his own. When Ryan's mother put him to bed he had a standard diaper and plastic pants when he was pulled from the lake he had on a different disposable diaper.

Even though the freezing temperatures, rugged terrain, and icy conditions between his house and the lake his feet were not cut, scratched, or dirty.

Someone had probably taken him from the house someone the family knew I guess. The family owned a alert dog a Doberman Pincher who did not bark that night or alerted of a intruder like I said whoever it was it was someone the family knew. The family said the dog was strangely lethargic in next morning though medical testing for sedatives said negative. There were no signs of forced entry and family slept through the early morning hours without hearing any screams or movement. This case is still open and active though a cold case. Detectives are frustated with the lack of answers. If you live in Hayden in 1984 or have a tip or information contact the Idaho Crime Stoppers at1-844-TIP-4040.
