The Death Valley Germans

We’re wrapping up our three-part series on mysterious disappearances and missing people. Adrian Gorder’s in the house for a deep dive into the case of the Death Valley Germans. On October 21, 1996 a park ranger in Death Valley National Park found an abandoned mini van, 2.5 miles from the nearest road. The van belonged to a German family vacationing in California who had apparently vanished without a trace. The case went unsolved for over a decade until a rogue badass, Tom Mahood, stepped up to find some answers. This episode pulls heavily from the work of Tom Mahood and OtherHand.org.

Hot Topics: Death Valley, Bud Ice, Plymouth Voyagers, No One Should Be Named Egbert, Les And Tom Are Badass, Deserts Aren’t Mountains, It’s Never Too Hot For Bourbon, and much more.
