The Bucks County Boys

When you think of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, you probably picture rolling hills, old stone farmhouses, and charming little towns right on the Delaware River. It’s known for being wealthy, safe, and postcard-perfect—a slice of idyllic America just north of Philly. It’s the kind of place where families settle down, where people don't always lock their doors, and where the horrors of the world feel like they’re a million miles away. It’s a place where, you know, nothing bad is supposed to happen.But in the blistering heat of July 2017, that peaceful image was completely shattered. The sense of security that had defined the community for generations just melted away in a few days. It all started when one young man went missing, then another, and another, and then a fourth. What began as a few frantic missing persons cases quickly spiraled into one of the biggest and most twisted criminal investigations in Pennsylvania's history. The search would lead investigators to a huge 90-acre farm and a horrifying secret buried deep in the ground—a secret that would uncover a story of betrayal, brutality, and murder so gruesome it’s still hard to wrap your head around. This is the story of what really happened to the lost boys of Bucks County.We thank you for your support! Become a member of our Patreon for just $1.99.
