Agency Road

Located approximately 200 miles south of Hoopa is Covelo, California; home of the Round Valley Tribe. This quaint town with a population of less than 1500 has a violent crime rate higher than the average U.S. city. Our team travels to Covelo to look into the case of Khadijah Britton, a 25 year old woman who was last seen being forced into a car at gunpoint in 2018.

Covelo

The rural roads and highways leading in and out of the reservation provide the perfect backdrop for someone to vanish. We explore the cases of 52 year old Virgil Bussell Jr. and 22 year old Andrea “Chick” White. White’s case dates back 30 years.

Off the Highway

The Wild West

The last confirmed sighting of 35 year old Emmilee Risling’s was on a cold Autumn day in October 2021. She was standing on Pecwan bridge but several reports place her at “the end of the road”; a remote area on the Yurok reservation. Our team travels to the end of the road to speak to the man some say knows more about Emmilee’s disappearance than he leads on.
