## Resource

In August 2005, 21-year-old Australian backpacker Ryan Chambers walked barefoot out of an ashram in Rishikesh, India, leaving behind his passport, wallet, phone, and shoes. He was never seen again. For nearly two decades, his family searched across India, chasing rumours and plastering posters from Punjab to Rajasthan. In 2023, a South Australian court finally declared Ryan dead — but the mystery of what happened that morning on the banks of the Ganges remains unsolved. This is the haunting story of Ryan Chambers, one of Australia’s most enduring missing-person cases abroad.
