It was 1976 in Chowchilla, California. Summer school was happening for the Dairyland School district and Edward Ray was a bus driver for the schools. On July 15th, he was to pick them up from the local swimming pool and everything went well, he was the last bus to leave that day and all of the students had been picked up. He had four stops to make and three of them would go smoothly but he would never make it to the fourth. 26 students were still on board and this bus full of children were now missing. A search of the area would find the bus except it was completely empty. What happened to these children? Many blamed Ed for the disappearance but what they didn't know was a group of men had been planning this for quite awhile. They had a plan and they worked hard to make sure it all went perfectly. However, Ed and these children were a lot stronger than they had expected.
