The Yuba County Five

from The Poisoner's Almanac Hosted by Goldstar002

Hello Poison Friends! Erin and I are back for a little something different today. I have had a disappearance/mysterious death case on my mind for some time and it felt like the right time to talk about it. We are covering the case of the Yuba County Five. In February of 1978, five young men from Yuba County, California, disappeared one night after a trip to see a basketball game. Each of the men lived with their families and had varying degrees of learning, intellectual, and mental health disabilities. When their car is found, answers only lead to further questions. What happened to the Yuba County Five and why has this been described by some as America's Dyatlov Pass Incident? Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!
