Welcome back, brave listeners, to the Yuba County 5 saga—where mysteries are deep, but our fear of life runs even deeper. In this episode, we kick things off with a totally necessary spider scare (trust us, we’re not being dramatic) before diving into the real terror: the baffling disappearance of the Yuba County 5. We catch up on life, talk about our irrational but very real arachnid anxieties, and then we get back into the creepy, complex case that’s been haunting us for decades.

Part 2 of this journey takes us even further down the rabbit hole of unanswered questions, strange coincidences, and jaw-dropping twists. So, whether you’re afraid of eight-legged creatures or the truth that’s just too weird to believe, this episode has something to keep you on the edge of your seat. Grab your bug spray (and maybe a flashlight) as we continue our investigation into one of California’s most bizarre mysteries!

Tune in—unless, of course, you’re in a room with a spider. In that case, good luck.

What Happened to the Yuba County Five? - Historic Mysteries

L.A.'s spookiest murder is the 2009 case of Peter Fabiano. This case has everything: A disguise that's part drag queen , part gremlin, and a love triangle that's more twisted than a pretzel at Oktoberfest.

And it doesn't stop there! This case also has: secret affairs, unrequited love, a loaded gun, and that thing when...

...Its like if Hitchcock directed a Lifetime movie, and they cast only ex-Broadway actors and Joan Crawford as the lead detective.
