On December 21, 2020, two little boys were playing on their back patio while their father gathered firewood. When they mysteriously disappear from their backyard, the police and the small community of California City, California immediately start to search for 4-year-old Orrin West and 3-year-old Orson West. But it quickly becomes apparent that things aren’t as they seem, and the investigation takes a darker turn. But now, over one year later, this case is marred by suspicions, accusations, but no sign of the brothers. Just a community left asking, “where are the boys?”

Anyone who has any information on the disappearance of Orrin and Orson West, or people who have had any interactions with the boys at all in 2020, is urged to contact the California City Police Department at 760-373-8606. To remain anonymous you can call the secret witness line at 661-322-4040.
