The Missing Boys Who Were Never Missing: Finding Orson and Orrin West

The Missing Boys Who Were Never Missing: Finding Orson and Orrin West

In December 2020, two little boys vanished from a backyard in California City just days before Christmas. Three-year-old Orrin West and four-year-old Orson West were reported missing by their adoptive parents, who claimed the boys wandered away through an open gate while playing outside. At first, it sounded like every parent’s nightmare. But almost immediately, nothing about the story made sense. No footprints in the desert dirt.No scent trails.No neighbours had ever seen the boys.No surveillance footage placing them in California City at all. As the search intensified, investigators began to suspect something far darker. What followed was a quiet, meticulous investigation that unfolded largely out of public view, culminating in the arrest and conviction of the boys’ adoptive parents, Trezell West and Jacqueline West. In this episode of Serial Napper, we revisit the case now that it’s been somewhat resolved and walk through what really happened to Orrin and Orson West.
