23-year-old man found three days after going missing from EDC Las Vegas

After going missing from EDC Las Vegas for three days, 23-year-old Dylan Hodgson has been located.

Dylan Hodgson had gone missing on the second day of EDC Las Vegas after Four Tet’s set. His friends had come together quickly to gather as much information as they could to locate the UK resident and posted everything they knew on social media. The community had come together to spread the message and bring attention to the disappearance. 

Fortunately, Hodgson was located three days after going missing from the massive festival. On May 21, his friends took to Reddit and X to confirm that they had found him. Hodgson’s recollection of events was posted after he was reunited with friends, claiming that he had lost consciousness about halfway through Fred again…’s set before going to Dom Dolla.

A video had shown Hodgson having an altercation with another attendee and being sent to the medical tent. A witness in the tent confirmed that he could not remember his name. From there, he said that he woke up in a hospital and was administered a saline drip before being discharged. 

The hospital gave him a bus pass, but Hodgson was alone without a phone or wallet in an unfamiliar location. He traveled to several locations seeking help from police officers but was told they could not help him. His loved ones had filed a Missing Persons report before Hodgson contacted officials. 

Hodgson ended up at the Luxor Hotel. When HyperX Arena opened, an arena employee named Jonathan Perez gave him access to a computer. He contacted his friends on Discord and was reunited with them on May 21. 

At this time, Hodgson has not made any further comment on his experience. It was confirmed that he was under the influence, but has been speculated that he was given an unknown substance without his consent. Thankfully, everyone can rest easy knowing he is safe and with his loved ones.
