16 year old girl from Calaveras County that stated she was being driven home by
Magsayo from a youth group activity Sunday December 17th. They were
accompanied by two other teenage girls in a van owned by the local Church. The
foursome eventually stopped at Box Beach located off of Electra Rd and Magsayo
