On February 24th, 1978, five men from Yuba County, California, vanished into the night on their way home from a college basketball game. Their bodies were found more than 100 days later. At least one of them had survived for weeks.
What made those men drive into the mountains and walk into the darkness of a freezing cold Forest? And the more perplexing question: what happened to the fifth member of the group, who was never found?

This is just a depressing 5.
Should of kept them on a leash smh
Yuba City's cool dude
ah yes those were the days..when the intellectually disabled could roam around freely and happily, instead of having to act in charge of western governments.
May wanna put up an epilepsy warning there, chief.
Background music is a bit too loud. Love the content.
Except this isn't the Dyatlov Pass Incident …Interesting case nonetheless but a whole nother case indeed…
He killed them all. Lured to their deaths.
I live in yuba city currently.
Kind of reminds me of the movie Dreamcatcher
im from yuba city and i never heard about this until i saw another video a couple years ago. crazy they went to my hometown high school
I think it was a schizophrenic attack and the the other guys were too shy/afraid to intervene and it led them to their deaths.
I love his channels, stumbled across this story. I live in Chico so kinda cool to hear the story.
Sounds like a story out of the missing 411 books
Mr ballen
Is it the anniversary of this incident??? Your like the 3rd channel to do a video on this story 🤷🏽♂️
Ahhh yes very dark 5! Absolutely sad you have to be so incredibly greedy you have to have 10 channels and somehow u couldnt see this coming
Aliens LOL
Enjoyed your video and so I gave it a Thumbs Up
Ooo this is very old but intresting to hear again ..
The dialogue with the music at the very end gave me goosebumps. This story is spooky
Does anyone know exactly what signs of mental disabilities were shown by the original four friends?
This is nothing like the Syatliv incident tho..snow is the only common denominator lol
I'm not even 16 seconds in. 5 intellectually disabled men. Got me laughing that quick .
The narrator explained that the five men all had a degree of intellectual disability. So it’s senseless for him to continually ask “why” when he told us the men had intellectual disabilities. Who writes this stuff?
Not much of a mystery if you ask me.
If you panic drive into the middle of nowhere after taking a wrong turn at least stay with your vehicle.
Lower the dang music on the documentary please
My mom is from Yuba City. I am from San Diego. My family has been going to Yuba City for years for family holiday's. I didn't know this story until I stumbled upon a different video. I shared with my mom and aunt. They said that it is still talked about. And it was talked about for years after this happened.
Yes this was a very enjoyable change from your usual material. I love your usual material don't misunderstand me. I liked this.
Verbally assaulting a toddler 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Intellectually disabled men is what we're calling them now huh?
I grew up in Yuba City, but hadn't heard about this story until a few years ago.
Someone correct me but is this the story that got pulled from Unsolved Mysteries? The families all agreed to do the show but when the families saw the screening, it made it seem like Mathias was the culprit so Mathias' family pulled out and Unsolved Mysteries never aired this episode
Sounds like a classic case of natural selection
Medication's a funny thing. Sometimes it working can actually be a problem. Patient feels better and thinks they don't need to take it anymore. And if you've never experienced withdrawal I can't really explain it to you because nothing in your life will have prepared you for it. It'll wreck even an emotionally healthy person. As mental disorders go, paranoid schizophrenia is one of the worst. There's a reason very few of them die of old age. A paranoid schizophrenic off their meds is capable of just about anything, and I say that as someone with the utmost sympathy for sufferers.
I blame 👽 👽 👽
Video answers its own question in the first 30 seconds. Why did they do it ? they were just developmentally disabled. case closed.
Thanks for slowing down the voice speed.
Your best video yet! I remember this story when it broke I was 11 years old and I've heard it explained on tv, and YouTube but you told it the best. It gave me goose bumps at the end.
Awh, Dark5 Radio isn't being updated anymore.. I loved the piano melody at the end
I take that back; Mathias is more severely mentally disabled.
Soooooo you're saying that Mathias wasn't mentally/develop disabled like the others? As a professional, I disagree.
Schizos like that should not be free to live in society. Padded rooms only.
In 1989-90 I lived in Brantford 🇨🇦 there was a man who looked just like this Mathias person except way older.. he was an upstairs neighbour of a friend down the street.. he was (looking back) a hoarder and had stuff outside in the backyard .. one was a manikin torso.. he encouraged me to pull aside the underwear it had on it…I wouldn’t so he did.. it had privates and pubic hair drawn on with marker🤭 later that summer he also tried to show me a megaphone he owned and press the buttons to make the siren noises etc. again I kept my distance… he eventually moved out.. and a few years later I moved to a nearby but different city and it would have been about 1992-3 I seen this dude again in a brown Chevette and I knew it was him because of the style of glasses and his megaphone was in the front seat.. needless to say I didn’t say hello and I found out that it’s a small world was sometimes not a funny happy go lucky kind of experience.
What a terrible event. I have a soft spot for intellectually challenged people. My condolences to the parents. I hope they one day get the full story.
You'd be better off watching the Barely Sociable take on this story, more accurate, no sensationalism or misinformation.
Verbal assaulting an infant. Are you kidding
