In February 1978, five young men went to a college basketball game, but instead of returning home, they ended up dead, on a cold mountainside, 70 miles away, in the opposite direction. This tragedy is shrouded in mystery, since it is unknown why they were there - and - their deaths make no sense.

This episode shares the story with you – told entirely in Whisper, by Kit Caren.
