- Details of Disappearance:
- On May 26, 2014, Taylor went rafting with his girlfriend and a friend on the Colorado River near Grand Junction, Colorado. They were using a raft meant for calm, shallow water, but the river was rough, and none of them wore life jackets. Their raft crashed into a bridge support near the 5th Street bridge, flipping over. His friends made it to shore, but Taylor disappeared. He was last seen near where the Colorado and Gunnison Rivers meet. His phone was later found in Utah, but there’s been no sign of him since. It’s believed he drowned.
