Virtual True Crime Event: Tony Wright's Things Aren't Right: The Disappearance of the Yuba County Five.
We are pleased to host a Zoom event with author Tony Wright to discuss his book Things Aren't Right: The Disappearance of the Yuba County Five.
Things Aren’t Right: The Disappearance of the Yuba County Five explores the bizarre and tragic 1978 disappearance of Ted Weiher, Jack Madruga, Bill Sterling, Jackie Huett, and Gary Mathias in the Plumas National Forest in Northern California. Four of these men had intellectual disabilities while one was diagnosed with schizophrenia. On Friday, February 24, 1978, they left the Yuba County, California area in Madruga’s 1969 Mercury Montego to attend a basketball game in Chico, California. Four days later the car they were traveling in was found abandoned on a snow-covered road in the mountains of the Plumas National Forest, some 75 miles in the wrong direction from home.
**The Zoom link will be sent out a few days prior to the event.*
This program is free and open to all those ages 18+.
