Just The Gist of... The Chowchilla Bus Kidnapping
In 1976 in Chowchilla, California, an entire school bus filled with children disappeared without a trace. Less than a day later, all 26 of them, along with bus driver Ed, escaped from a hole underground with a terrifying story about being taken by three masked men. Soon, three very wealthy young men, from some of the most well-off families in town, were found with a piece of paper with the word ‘PLAN’ written at the top, followed by a list of the children's names. This is Just The Gist of the Chowchilla Bus Kidnapping - an eyerolling example of ‘Why Are Men’, but also an event that forever changed the way we look at the ongoing effects of childhood trauma. .We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there's Breakin' Nooz, JTG After Show AND Bonus eps!
