This episodes marks TTKG's first historical mystery and disappearance case! In February, 1978, a group of friends from Yuba City in California; fondly referred to as "The Boys" by their families, set out on a trip to watch a basketball game. They left after it finished and for reasons which perplex investigators to this day, drove up a mountain into the wilderness and were never seen alive again.
