The All-American Family led by father, Kenneth Martin, 54, Mother, Barbara,48, and their three daughters, 14-year-old Barbara - they called her "Barbie", 13-year-old, Virginia, and 11-year-old Susan.  An older son, Donald, 28, was not with the family as he was serving in the US Navy stationed in New York. While out on their family day of fun, something strange happened..... the Martin family vanished. Searches were launched, interviews conducted and a reward was offered, but no luck, the Martin family was gone. Six months later, two of the girls bodies showed up in the river, but they were so decomposed dental identification was used. Were the Martin's murdered? Hunted for Sport? Was it a tragic accident? Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack take a ride with Doc and Marty back to 1958 to uncover the mystery of the Martin Family disappearance.
