Jarbidge, Nevada is an isolated community 10 miles south of the Idaho/Nevada border. It’s always been a small town, but in the 1900s it was about 65 miles away from any connection to the outside world, less the US Mail Stagecoach that ran round trip for the town.

In 1916, the town became famous as the site of the last known stagecoach robbery in the United States History, but unfortunately this tale ended with murder instead of just a robbery of $4,000 of the mining company’s payroll.

Carl Drega was a recluse, who spent the majority of time on his property, building and constructing different structures. He lived there with his wife, Rita, beside the river in Columbia, New Hampshire for several years, before Rita got cancer and passed away.

Carl had struggle after struggle with the town, believing that they were the true cause of Rita’s death, and fought back at every citation and denial he was given for construction.

Soon, he started putting a woman named Vicki, as the face of his issues with the town, and started spending time lurking outside her house at night.

This went on for years, before Carl felt like he needed to take a final stance against the town and for “once”, show them what it mean to “live free or die”.
