The Disturbingly Mysterious Disappearance of the Yuba County Boys
Nothing makes sense in one of the most obscure and notable unsolved cases of the 20th Century.
On a cold stormy February night of 1978, 55-year-old Joe Schons was on his way to his mountain cabin. He was planning a family ski holiday next week and wanted to check the snow and ski paths before the weekend.
However, since it was stormy, he got stuck in the snow in the middle of nowhere. Panicking, he got out of the car and tried to push it off the snow. But he couldn’t do it alone, and eventually started noticing signs of a heart attack.
Joe immediately got back into his car and turned on the engine to run the heater. He was suffering from pain and was delusional. He just laid there waiting for help.
After a while, Joe noticed a pair of headlights. Thanking his lucky stars, he got off the car and screamed for help. He saw five men and a woman holding a baby standing by a pickup truck. Despite his screams, the group ignored him.
Tired, Joe got back into the car and waited for someone else. And that’s when he noticed the five men walking past his car, ignoring him. Joe also saw another pair of flashlights and asked for help again. They, too, neglected him.
