WTF: What They Faced: John Jones and the Nutty Putty Cave

In this powerful and heartbreaking premiere of WTF: What They Faced, Gina and Amber delve into the real-life story of John Edward Jones, a 26-year-old medical student and father who became trapped in Utah’s infamous Nutty Putty Cave in 2009.
What began as a family caving adventure turned into a 27-hour rescue mission that captivated the nation and ended in unthinkable tragedy. Using official reports, firsthand accounts, and direct quotes from rescuers and family members, this episode examines the full timeline of John’s entrapment, the harrowing rescue effort, the system failure that sealed his fate, and the aftermath that changed cave safety forever.

This is more than a story about a cave — it’s about human determination, faith, and the emotional limits of rescue. If you’ve heard of the Nutty Putty Cave but don’t know what really happened beneath the surface, this episode offers a deeply researched, respectful, and haunting look at what John Jones truly faced.
