This was a case we covered many years ago as a Patreon bonus only case but decided to do a re-do of it for everyone! This kidnapping took place in 1976 out of Chowchilla California by three wealthy men who apparently had nothing better to do than kidnap 26 school children in an attempt to get ransom money from the State of California.
