One morning when Salinas' Billy Harvey was a boy of 5 and still asleep, his parents arose. Quietly as they could, they tiptoed to the front door and left the house. "I never saw them again," Harvey said. Billy Harvey's parents had put him and his two brothers in the care of an aunt. Then, they'd flown off to Lake Tahoe on what was supposed to be a fun-flight getaway, a day-long casino excursion. They planned to return home that night. Only they, and many others, died in an airplane crash.
