This story is mentioned in a post here and there on other threads, but I feel this family deserves its own thread. This is a summary of the case from Wikipedia:
The McStay family disappeared from their Fallbrook, San Diego County, California home on February 4, 2010.[1] The family consisted of the father, Joseph; the mother, Summer; and the couple's two children, Joseph Mateo and Gianni McStay.[2]
A search conducted in the family's home found no clear evidence of foul play, but some indications of a hasty departure. On February 8, the family's 1996 Isuzu Trooper was towed away from a parking lot in San Ysidro, the San Diego neighborhood adjacent to the Mexico-United States border. Surveillance video taken that evening showed a family of four, possibly resembling the McStay family, crossing the border into Mexico; the video footage was released on March 5. On February 19, 2010, California police notified Interpol to be on the lookout for the family.[2]
The disappearance of the family has been featured on America's Most Wanted.[2]
On November 11, 2013, a biker found human remains of four people in the desert of northern Victorville, California. The bodies had been buried in shallow graves. On November 13, the remains were positively identified as those of the entire McStay family.[2][3]
In the days after the discovery of the bodies, the father of Joseph McStay said the police investigation had been faulty, and that he had made formal complaints about the investigation in 2011.[4]
It's amazing to me how an entire family can just disappear without explanation.
