Buried: The Chowchilla School Bus Kidnapping

If you’re a parent, then you’ve probably spent a lot of time
imagining nightmare scenarios for your kids. Y’know, you lose sight
of them in Target for a couple of minutes, your mind starts to go
in all kinds of awful directions. You’re careful about who they
spend time with, you watch what they’re up to online. You make sure
they know they can talk to you about anything. But the raw fact is,
you can’t keep your kids in a bubble. You can wall off all the
obvious angles of attack, but sometimes the danger comes completely
out of nowhere. Sometimes, the threat is something nobody could
have ever seen coming. Join us for the story of one of California's
most startling crimes--the abduction of an entire bus full of
children, and their driver.
