Tony Wright joins Ed Opperman to talk about the facts and the fictions behind the now legendary case of the Yuba County Five.He's the author of two comic books and a graphic novel with Source Point Press. Tony is an archivist, father, husband, and a lost soul of rock and roll. When he is not writing, he is spending time with his family or enjoying a good meal. Tony has been featured as a Yuba County Five case expert on the Mopac Audio podcast Yuba County Five and was also featured as a case expert on the Motor Trend TV show Auto/Biography: Cold Case.The book explores the bizarre and tragic 1978 disappearance of Ted Weiher, Jack Madruga, Bill Sterling, Jackie Huett, and Gary Mathias in the Plumas National Forest in Northern California. Four of these men had intellectual disabilities while one was diagnosed with schizophrenia. On Friday, February 24, 1978, they left the Yuba County, California area in Madruga's 1969 Mercury Montego to attend a basketball game in Chico, California. Four days later the car they were traveling in was found abandoned on a snow-covered road in the mountains of the Plumas National Forest, some 75 miles in the wrong direction from home.Four jurisdictions of law enforcement would investigate and search for the missing men. Psychics were brought in, and there were strange reports of sightings of the five from numerous people. One witness came forward with an incredible story of seeing the men disappear into the forest that night. Yet every lead came to a dead end. About four months after they vanished, four of the five men's remains were found some 12 miles from the car, with one discovered in a US Forest Service trailer with plenty of food and fuel to keep them alive for months.Once described as ‘Bizarre as hell', the case of the Yuba County Five has baffled law enforcement and the families of the missing men for over 45 years. Tony Wright has meticulously researched this case, earning himself the reputation of being one of the foremost authorities on the subject, and his conclusions are likely as close as anyone will come to making sense of this tragedy.Book https://amzn.to/4niUiIkYou can see a virtual presentation at the Houston Public Library about the Yuba County Five case on Saturday, June 28th from 2pm until 3pm CST.

Una fría noche de febrero de 1978, cinco amigos desaparecieron tras un partido de baloncesto en California. Lo que comenzó como un simple viaje terminó en un misterio aterrador. Días después, su coche apareció abandonado en una remota carretera de montaña, a más de 100 km de donde debían estar. Lo extraño: el coche estaba en perfecto estado, con las llaves puestas y comida dentro, pero de ellos no había ni rastro. ¿Qué les llevó a ese lugar apartado? ¿Por qué dejaron un vehículo funcional? Atentos y atentas a los "Cinco de Yuba", este caso sin resolver extraño e inquietante.

On this episode I sit down with Lisa Lindman, Executive Director of the Sutter Buttes Regional Land Trust, to discuss the nuances of conservation work within the landscapes of Yuba, Sutter, and Colusa counties. In line with the underlying theme of this podcast, we talk thru the land trust's work in a diverse agricultural and wildlife-rich region characterized by thriving rice fields that support migratory waterfowl, rolling oak woodlands and rangeland, as well as stunning views extending from the Central Valley to the Cascades; but with the unique addition of a significant military presence, via the Beale Air Force Base. Starting off we take a look Lisa's personal journey from a childhood in Santa Cruz to a land conservation leadership role in the Central Valley, building on her background in landscape architecture and restoration, as well as community involvement. But our primary focus is highlighting the land trust's recent success in completing the Magnolia Ranch conservation easement in 2024, a major undertaking to protect over 900 acres from development outside the City of Marysville, to the tune of almost $19 million. Standing out from other similar projects in the region, we talk about how the success of Magnolia Ranch relied on an unlikely partner, the United States Department of Defense through its Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration program, or REPI for short, which aims to prevent incompatible land uses near military bases via conservation. Lisa shares how the collaborative spirit of the project, between the land trust, the developer, and military personnel, ended up in a regional, multi-beneficial conservation win. The episode closes with a discussion on how this project has opened up channels of communication for future projects and aspirations, as well as the continuous, ongoing nature of conservation work.

Following citizen complaints, City of Chico staff have been looking into streets that need more lights, and where funding for lighting projects would come from. Also, Yuba, Sutter, and Tehama counties will not receive anticipated federal funds for levee maintenance and improvement projects, and California wildlife officials say beavers reintroduced to their native watersheds are working on restoring the wetlands.

Seguimos con la segunda parte de la audioserie titulada "Érase una vez el Este", en ese viaje que realizaron a África los protagonistas de nuestra historia. Como ya sabéis esta serie o audioserie consiste en varios capítulos en los que se mezclan la realidad y la ficción y en los que hablamos de hechos históricos y de sucesos que están de plena actualidad. Y este proyecto de "Érase una vez el Este", es idea, como ya sabéis, de dos grandes amigos de LA BIBLIOTECA DE LA HISTORIA, como son Juan Lamas, malagueño, historiador, escritor y guionista, y Verónica, barcelonesa, actriz y cantante amateur y gran apasionada por la historia. Ellos son los artífices de esto y les agradezco su trabajo. Os dejo con el undécimo capítulo titulado "La caza de Joseph Kony. Seguimos en África. Porque hablar de otras zonas en el mundo que son el foco de atención global es ir a lo fácil. Nos salimos del camino trillado informativo y eso es incómodo para todos: para nosotros y para vosotros.. porque no estamos redundando en lo mismo y muchos de vosotros, quizá comprensiblemente, buscaréis otro Podcast que oír, sobre una temática más familiar y sobre lo que seguro que tenéis una opinión formada. Respecto a esos problemas geopolíticos globales.. ya sea Trump, Rusia/Ucrania encontramos ríos de información y desinformación. Pero hay lugares de los que cuesta mucho recabar cualquier información válida, como pasa con Uganda. Un país aunque no lo creáis, de la mayor importancia en el Continente Africano por su situación. Hoy además os hablaremos de su desconocida historia reciente y de un verdadero criminal. Un verdadero monstruo asesino. Su nombre es Joseph Kony. Él mismo se autodefine como un Luchador por la libertad y lo justifica todo por su oposición a Yoweri Museveni, presidente de Uganda desde 1986 al que a su vez califica como monstruo. Por desgracia Uganda en marzo de 2025 volvió a ser noticia: Por si no fueran preocupantes las noticias que vienen del Congo, el gobierno del presidente ugandés Museveni afirma haber desplegado unidades de operaciones especiales en la capital de Sudán del sur. Y os preguntaréis.. "Pero... A quién importa eso, si ni siquiera sabemos el nombre de esa capital de Estado?" Pues tened en cuenta que al desplegar sus soldados en la ciudad de Yuba, el presidente de Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, actúa como garante de la paz en la guerra civil que afecta al joven país entre Salva Kiir y el vicepresidente Machar, que gobernaban juntos en un delicado gabinete de unidad nacional. Y tened en cuenta que Uganda no actúa sola. La Unión Africana respalda aparentemente dicho movimiento. Es decir.. que sin la necesidad de injerencias de poderes extranjeros (Wagners, o la CIA) África trata de autogestionarse antes que sumirse en el caos. África sigue bañada en sangre: Sudán, Sudán del Sur, República del Congo, Mali.. y en esa convulsión nacen animales que creen ser Mesías, como Joseph Kony. Os hablamos de él y de los intentos rusos de cazarle en la República Centroafricana. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Este es uno de los misterios más inquietantes de Estados Unidos. El 24 de febrero de 1978, cinco hombres con discapacidades intelectuales—Gary Mathias, Jack Huett, Bill Sterling, Ted Weiher y Jack Madruga—desaparecieron en circunstancias extrañas después de asistir a un juego de baloncesto en Chico, California. Su auto fue encontrado abandonado en una remota carretera de montaña, y meses después se hallaron algunos de sus restos a más de 30 kilómetros. Sin señales claras de lo que ocurrió, el caso sigue siendo objeto de especulación y teorías. #truecrimepodcast #truecrimestories #truecrimeyoutubers #truecrimestory #cronicasdecrimen #podcast #crimen #crimenreal #truecrimecommunity #yuba

La jovencísima nación de Sudán del Sur es uno de los pocos reductos de auténtica vida tribal que quedan en África. Las sucesivas guerras que ha encadenado la región, la ausencia de inversiones e infraestructuras de comunicación, han convertido este territorio en una cápsula del tiempo con etnias, culturas y tradiciones preservadas al margen del rodillo de la globalización y el turismo. Con la ayuda de los fotógrafos Roberto Pazzi (autor de la imagen de portada de este episodio) y Carlos Sánchez retratamos el presente de la ciudad de Yuba –bulliciosa capital sursudanesa en la orilla del Nilo Blanco– y la vida de pueblos originarios como los mundaris, en Terekeka, o las tribus larim y lotuko en el vecino estado de Ecuatoria Oriental. Una visita en la que también nos acompaña el viajero Francisco Molina y que revivimos gracias a grabaciones de campo cedidas por 101 Last Tribes, un proyecto etnográfico del fotógrafo Jordi Zaragozà y el antropólogo Joan Riera. Además el director de la agencia Trekking y Aventura, José Antonio Masiá, nos presenta a las tribus toposa y jiye, con las que pudo convivir en una reciente expedición al montañoso entorno de la ciudad de Kapoeta. Al viajar por un país como Sudán del Sur, independiente desde 2011, teóricamente en paz desde 2020 y montado sobre una larga estela de pobreza, corrupción y violencia, es obligado acercarse a quienes sufren las consecuencias. Médicos sin Fronteras sigue atendiendo a millones de personas sobre el terreno, muchas todavía fuera de sus casas. Conocemos su situación y los proyectos de esta ONG a través del testimonio de las enfermeras Ana de la Osada y Esperanza Santos; contamos también con su responsable de comunicación, el periodista Igor García Barbero, autor del libro 'Vislumbres de África Oriental'.Escuchar audio

Þann 24. febrúar árið 1978 fóru fimm menn frá Yuba-sýslu í Kaliforníu á körfuboltaleik í Chico, nálægum bæ. Uppáhaldsliðið þeirra var að keppa og vildu þeir styðja það. Sjálfir áttu þeir að leika mikilvægan leik daginn eftir. Þeir glímdu allir við minniháttar þroskahamlanir. Þeir stóðu sig þó almennt ágætlega í að takast á við áskoranir lífsins. Þeir voru allir í sama körfuboltaliðinu og daginn eftir var mikilvægur leikur. Sigurvegararnir áttu að fá í verðlaun vikuferð til Los Angeles. Allir voru þeir mjög spenntir fyrir því og ákveðnir í að sigra leikinn. Þetta var í síðasta skipti sem þeir sáust á lífi. Eftir nokkurra daga leit fannst bíll þeirra um 180 km norður af Chico en heimabær mannanna var í þveröfuga átt, um 80 km suður af Chico. Þeir höfðu keyrt upp í fjalllendið í Plumas-þjóðgarðinum. Allar götur síðan hefur þetta hvarf valdið miklum heilabrotum fólks. Sumir voru fljótir að afskrifa þetta vegna þroskaskerðingar mannanna. Ættingjum þeirra hefur alltaf sárnað sú umræða. Enda er nokkuð ljóst að mennirnir voru að miklu leyti færir um að sjá um sig sjálfir. Ýmsar kenningar hafa komið fram um hvað gæti hafa valdið þessu dularfulla hvarfi. Viltu heyra fleiri þætti?

Roy McGrath is a Chicago based tenor saxophonist and multi-woodwind instrumentalist, composer and bandleader. Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico and educated in Boston, New Orleans and Chicago, Roy brings to bear these diverse influences in his playing and composing. In addition to leading and recording his own ensembles, he is a member of several others as an in-demand player, recording artist, and producer. He has led four international tours to Mexico, Singapore, Myanmar, South Korea and China. As a composer and arranger, Roy is firmly in the jazz tradition, but his Caribbean heritage is an ever-present mind set, leading to wholly original works that are a true expression of who he is. Menjunje features folkloric rhythms of Puerto Rico such as Bomba (Sica, Yuba, Cuembe), Plena, Seis Araucano, as well as Cuban Guaguanco, Bolero, Chachacha, and Son. For this particular project he flew in musicians from Puerto Rico: Drummer Efrain Martinez (Viento de Agua, Cultura Profetica, La PVC, and many more) and Eduardo Zayas (Charlie Sepulveda, Mahya Veray, Bobby Valentin). As well as musicians from the Chicago area, Constantine Alexander on trumpet, Kitt Lyles on Bass, Javier Quintana-Ocasio and Victor “Junito” Gonzalez on Percussion, and Jose Carrasquillo on Cuatro. This project is a product of working in conjunction with the Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center, the Puerto Rico Arts Alliance, the Walder Foundation, and the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events of Chicago. In 2022 Menjunje played festivals around Chicago and surrounding areas: Chicago Jazz Festival, Chicago Latin Jazz Festival, Glenwood Arts Festival, CU Jazz Festival, Mayfest, Mole de Mayo Festival. Also in 2022 Roy plays on supporting the release of Giovany Revelle's self-titled album, which Roy co-produced, wrote horn arrangements, string arrangements, and coached the rhythm section. In 2017 Roy released his Latin Grammy nominated prior album, “Remembranzas”, a new batch of original compositions that incorporate folkloric Bomba rhythms and other Puerto Rican elements in a jazz framework. Originally, in 2015 the project was called the Julia al Son de Jazz project and was commissioned by Chicago's Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center, where he worked as director of the youth Afro-Caribbean Jazz Ensemble for five years. The project used the writings of revered Puerto Rican poet Julia de Burgos as a springboard for new compositions that included spoken word recitations of her poetry. Its debut was followed by successive performances throughout Chicago including three dates for the Chicago Park District's Night Out in the Parks summer concert series in 2016. In 2017 Roy also led two special big band tribute projects: one honoring legendary Puerto Rican composer Rafael Hernández, with his son, Chali Hernandez singing, and a local All-Stars tribute to Dizzy Gillespie's United Nations Orchestra that played the Chicago Latin Jazz Fest. Roy sang in school choirs before picking up the saxophone at age 16. After attending the Berklee College of Music Summer Workshop, he earned a full scholarship to attend Berklee's five-week Summer Performance Program. Back in Puerto Rico, he honed his improvisational skills performing with jazz pianist and Beach Boys alumnus Carli Muñoz. Upon high school graduation, Roy was awarded a scholarship to Loyola University in New Orleans, where he studied under Tony Dagradi (saxophonist for Astral Project) and composer/arranger John Mahoney. He graduated in 2009 with BM in Jazz Performance. After graduation, Roy extended his time in New Orleans, performing in clubs, concert halls and the streets with a variety of musicians. He made three appearances at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and one appearance at the New Orleans French Quarter Fest. The next stop on his musical journey was Northwestern University in Chicago, where he graduated with a master's degree in Music, studying under Victor Goines, saxophonist for Jazz at Lincoln Center and Director of Jazz Studies at Northwestern University. Graduating in 2014, McGrath decided to put down roots in Chicago because of both its historic role in the development of jazz and the presence of a large and vibrant Jazz & Latin music community in which he could continue to pursue his vision. He returned to Northwestern's Pick-Staiger Concert Hall in 2016 to perform with Victor Goines and Branford Marsalis in Goines' orchestral composition the “Crescent City Suite”. Roy released his debut CD as a leader, Martha, in 2014 with a quartet formed of fellow Northwestern grads Gustavo Cortiñas, Kitt Lyles and Joaquin Garcia, all bandleaders in their own right, and returned the favor by joining their ensembles: Snapshot (Cortiñas), Real Talk Collective (Lyles) and Rhythm Convergence (Garcia). The Roy McGrath Quartet was featured in the Jazz Institute of Chicago's NextGEN concert series in 2015. Later that year, the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) awarded McGrath a grant to take the quartet on a month-long tour of Mexico. Also in 2015, The Roy McGrath Latin Jazz Quintet performed at the Chicago Latin Jazz Festival. 2016 also saw McGrath joining alto saxophonist Miguel Zenón and traditional music ensemble Bomba con Buya for Folclórico: An Exploration of Jazz and Afro-Puerto Rican Music at the Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center. As an educator Roy has taught masterclasses on improvisation at Dulwich College International in Shanghai, Suzhou, and Beijing, on four different touring occasions. Roy has taught in his home of Puerto Rico at the Universidad del Turabo and in Mexico City as well.
