In February 1978, five young men vanished after attending a basketball game in Yuba County, California. Their car was later found abandoned deep in the snowy wilderness of Plumas National Forest far from their route and with no clear explanation why they went there.

As searchers uncovered eerie clues, including a remote trailer stocked with untouched supplies, the mystery only deepened. Four of the men were eventually found, but Gary Mathias was never located. Nearly 50 years later, the case of the Yuba County Five remains one of America’s most haunting unsolved disappearances. 

Today I joined Dean, Laura, and Arthur from The Family Plot to dive into the mystery of the Yuba County Five
