The Yuba County 5

Over The Fence - True Crime Podcast

On this episode we delve into the mysterious case of the Yuba County 5. In February of 1978, a group of five men, referred to endearingly as "The Boys" by their families, watched a basketball game at Chico State University and on their travels home, ended up traveling approximately 70 miles in the wrong direction from home. The end up on a rural gravel road in the foothills of the forest. At least, this is where the car they were traveling in ended up. None of the men would be seen alive again, and only 4 of the 5 men would be found. No parts of this case make sense and all we are left with is families left with the loss of a loved one and no real answers as to who, why, how or what... Was is supernatural? Was it foul play? Was it happenstance? There are so many theories out there and no concrete answers or evidence as to what happened to the Yuba County 5
