The team’s plane crashed two miles from the airport.
Among the dead: players, coaches, boosters, faculty, and the flight crew.
And six unknown passengers.
For years, investigators tried to figure out who those six were.
Checking missing persons reports, looking through paperwork.
Looking for any personal belongings.
But no family came forward for any of them, nobody came looking.
Later, as technology advanced, DNA evidence still didn’t solve the mystery.
The six dead hookers, hired by the boosters for the players, going seat to seat, blowing the players, would remain nameless.
The ultimate sacrifice, literally going down for the cause.
