About this listen

Grab a glass and settle in as we uncork one of the most unbelievable true-crime stories in American history. In this episode, we dive into the 1976 Chowchilla kidnapping—when a school bus full of children vanished, triggering a nationwide panic and a rescue story that’s stranger than fiction. We break down the chilling plan, the improbable escape, and how a small town was forever changed. Pour yourself something bold, because this case goes deep underground… literally.
