Death Valley Germans

Rare card · No. 49450

The Death Valley Germans (as dubbed by the media) were a family of four tourists from Germany who went missing in Death Valley National Park, on the California–Nevada border in the United States, on 23 July 1996. Their rental van was discovered in a remote area of the park in October 1996. Despite an intense search and rescue operation, the only thing found was a discarded beer bottle; no other trace of the family was discovered and the search was called off. In 2009, two volunteer explorers searching for clues to the fate of the tourists discovered the remains of the two adult members of the family a few miles from where the van had been left.
