On July 15, 1976, 27 people just disappeared. In the quiet town of Chowchilla, California, a school bus carrying 26 children and their beloved driver, Ed Ray, was hijacked and taken. What followed was a harrowing ordeal of captivity, where the children and Ed were buried alive in a makeshift underground prison. This episode of Fried Doe: Mystique Murders delves into the chilling details of the Chowchilla bus kidnapping, from the initial abduction and the terrifying conditions in the buried truck, to the incredible bravery of Ed Ray and the children as they staged a daring escape. Join us as we explore the resilience, courage, and the ultimate rescue that brought them back to safety and rocked a small town to its core.
