On February 24th, 1978, a group of 5 young men went to watch a basketball game at California State University, Chico.
These men were:
- 29 year old Bill Sterling
- 24 year old Jack Huett
- 32 year old Ted Weihler
- 30 year old Jack Madruga
- And 25 year old Gary Mathias
That night, instead of coming back home in preparation for their own basketball game the next day, their car ended up on a dirt road, stuck in a show drift about 4,400 miles in elevation and in the wrong direction from home. Months later, the remains of four out of the five men were found. Why did this happen? What happened to the men? What happened to the fifth man? We might never know…
Stay safe out there.
With love,
Saaniya and Maddie x
