Missing People in Humboldt County

Lol I'm baffled at how the government hasn't gotten involved.

Maybe it's vampires.

Government doesn't do shit without public pressure. Why do you think government run senior homes are a mess? Because people ship their elderly folks off and forget about them.

The seniors complain, nobody cares.

Why aren't people screaming about this? 700 people compared to 5-7. I don't understand.

Its nuts, not a single thing is being done about it. Thousands of unsolved cases lasting decades.

Also this is an area where cannabis is grown. Lots of outlaw growers. People come in to trim weed, and when they want to collect their money, they get killed is what some of this stems from.

Looking into it more...sounds like it's the weed business that is the reason lol.

Yea but weed is legal in California

Yes, which means a lot of money is at stake.

But this has been happening for decades. Weed was only legal there recently. Something else is going on. Its also sex trafficking.

The real thing is why is there no FBI lockdown? FBI is always supposed to be involved in missing persons and sex trafficking cases.

Seems like criminal enterprises have been in the town for a while and once weed was legal some of them switched to that, but the dangerous element of what they do still remained. I mean the place produces 60% of the weed in this country.

Only reason the FBI would not be involved is either they don't know or they somehow benefit. Seems unlikely they don't know.

Reminds me of the town from "The Lost Boys".

This is California, right?

Sex video capital of the world? That probably means, a lot of sex trafficking?

Maybe the FBI looks the other way when it comes to California? For a modest bribe?

Can we switch the names of the states of Florida and California and then get Bugs Bunny over here?

I'm watching the first episode and some of the people are talking about having growing operations before it was legal.

It's not as if a thing stops attracting a bad element once it becomes legal, if money is involved, legal or not, bad people show up. Look at the diamond industry FFS.

700 missing people a year though?

From what i can tell from a quick google search it appears that its not 700+ per year, its 700+ per 100,000 people per year. Another quick search showed that there were around 140,000 people in the county in 2017. So that would put the number at around 1,000 per year. Which seems insane. That would be 1 out of every 140 people go missing each year.

JC, 1000+ a year. And the government does nothing?

Watched the first couple of episodes. Interesting show, doesn't seem to be terribly mysterious, though unless more information is introduced in later episodes. Just some shady cartel/organized crime people doing nasty things to people and the local police don't want to really do anything about it.

Humbolt's about 290 miles North of me, it known (or had been) for being a laid back hippy-ish area and for being a prime spot for marijuana growing and lodging.

While check out the docu later.
