Jaydan Seal was a 1-year-old boy who disappeared during a flash flood on July 30, 2006, near Garleys Wash in Garley Canyon, Utah. The family was traveling in a Ford Bronco when a 20-foot wall of water swept the vehicle downstream nearly a mile; the Bronco overturned several times. Jaydan’s 5-year-old brother Levi was trapped under the vehicle and later died of his injuries. Their parents and a 3-year-old sister survived, although the sister was hospitalized.

Extensive searches followed but Jaydan’s body was never recovered. Searchers faced thick silt and dangerous flood conditions, and authorities believe Jaydan may be buried under several feet of silt, which has made locating remains extremely difficult. Formal searches were later scaled back, though occasional recovery efforts have continued and the case remains open.

Does anyone have memories of the canyon or the day that might help explain where debris or sediment built up after that flood?
