Summary

The story of the Yuba County 5 is as much a mystery today as it was 50 years ago when it happened. Why did 5 men seemingly drive miles from where they were supposed to be, when they had places to be and things to do, into the remote wilderness? And why were they found in a hidden cabin so far from the car in the middle of a snowstorm?
