About this episode
In 1978, five men from Yuba City, friends with mild intellectual disabilities and mental health challenges, vanished after attending a college basketball game. Their car was later found abandoned in the remote Plumas National Forest, far off their expected route. Months later, four of their bodies were discovered in chilling, mysterious circumstances. One has never been found. Why did they drive up that treacherous mountain road? What—or who—were they running from?
In this episode of Triggered, we unravel one of California’s most haunting unsolved mysteries: the disappearance of the Yuba Five. A case full of dead ends, eerie coincidences, and questions that still leave families—and investigators—searching for answers nearly 50 years later.
