In early 1978, five young men went out for a fun night together watching college basketball. On the way home they disappeared into the dark late-winter wilderness, high in the mountains of Yuba County, California. What followed was a tense investigation, devastating discoveries, and over 40 years of unanswered questions. What led them out there that night? Where were they going? And why didn’t they turn back?
