    Hell's Princess Jun 28, 2022

    She created the blueprint for craigslist killings all over the world and she’s known by many nicknames; “Hell’s Princess”, “Female Bluebeard”, “High Priestess of Murder”, and the “Queen of Crime” to name a few. Today we unlock an episode from the Murder in the Rain Patreon vault. Join us to hear about the historic true crime fan favorite, the story of Belle Gunness. Belle Gunness lured men to her, stole their wealth, and hid it from the world, and she did it while tending a farm, raising children, and possibly faking her own death.

    A Million Other Little Lies Jun 21, 2022

    The bodies were discovered nearly 48 hours after their car was found abandoned with its doors hanging open, its occupants vanished in the surrounding woods. It was an execution-style killing, times two. The dead were discovered with their watches and shoes missing, their wallets emptied. Gags were found stuffed in their mouths and both had been fatally shot in the head. And though the FBI took over the investigation, the leads winnowed away to an infrequent drip, which kept it on life support, waiting for someone to uncover the truth. Decades later, a relative of one of those killed will reach across time in an attempt to put the case's scattered pieces together and shine a light on those responsible. Today, I'll tell you about the unsolved Crater Lake Double Murder of 1952, that may have been solved.

    Crossed Paths Jun 14, 2022

    “When we tie you to the theft of something and that shows deception being part of your character you forfeit the right to be believed you forfeit to be treated as an honest person. And that’s the way it is,” Sgt. Reagan of the Spokane police department was quoted as saying during the investigation surrounding today's case. Perhaps your first response was “screw this guy, people deserve second chances.” But maybe the biggest and perhaps hardest lesson of the pandemic has been to see the true colors of those you thought you knew. While investigators should always process things through the lens of evidence and facts, at what point do we let someone’s history dictate their future, and when should we let bygones be bygones? This is the story of the life and murder of Kenneth Cross of Spokane, Washington, and all the red flags and herrings along the way.

    Eye For An Eye Jun 07, 2022

    The 1980s which were smack dab in what criminal justice experts call the “Epidemic Years” or “The Golden Age of Serial Murder”, was nothing if not a hodgepodge of frenzied criminal activity: from bogus claims leading to the Satanic Panic to falsely accused Daycare child sex abuse, the rumors of heinous crimes were rampant. In a time when people were fixated on stranger danger, hunting monsters, and saving the children, some of those monsters slipped through the cracks. The bad guys of the 1980s weren’t exactly as the rumors described, but they did do reprehensible acts. Today’s case took place in the final year of that decade; A man known as The Vancouver Child Killer, who could have been the most prolific and horrific child sex abuser of our time, was apprehended thanks to a combination of impatience, coincidence, and the bravery of two people.

    Grizzly Summer, Part Two - The Ragged Bear May 31, 2022

    In Part One of Grizzly Summer, Josh detailed the mauling of two visitors to Glacier National Park and the desperate late-night search for survivors that ensued in its wake. In Part Two, the attack appears to repeat itself hours later, though it occurs miles from the first and seems that a different bear, fearless in the face of humans, had dragged another camper into the moonlit woods, this time as their friends sought safety in trees, forced to hear the crunching of bones as they perched waiting for the moment to flee.

    Grizzly Summer, Part One May 24, 2022

    On a silent August night in 1967, Screams ripped through the darkness in Glacier National Park, Montana. A visitor to the park camping under the stars was attacked in their sleep and dragged away from camp. When an injured survivor of the same attack stumbles upon another camper hundreds of yards away, it triggers a frantic middle-of-the-night search-and-hopefully-rescue mission, crewed by both brave park rangers and overnight visitors, who hours later, would hear word that miles away, there had been another attack that night and another camper dragged into the woods.

    End of Trail, Part Two May 17, 2022

    Last week was the first part of the story of Josh Wade, the disappearance of Mindy Schloss, and the murder of Della Brown, whose beaten body had been found in a shed. In part two, after Josh’s friends wore a wire, Josh Wade had an arrest warrant out and police were starting their hunt for him. This all took place 7 years before Mindy Schloss, a nurse who divided her time between Fairbanks and Anchorage, went missing from her home. When authorities, who all knew the infamous case of Della Brown, learned that Joshua Wade lived next door to Mindy, their instincts told them she had probably met a terrible fate. Now if they could just find her…and him.

    End of Trail, Part One May 10, 2022

    When a well-known and adored nurse went missing in Anchorage, the city was literally brought to a halt in searching for her. It didn’t take long for a suspect to catch the detective's attention. Their concern wasn’t just because he was a neighbor, nor was it because he had outstanding warrants. It was because he had been suspected of killing before. For the next two episodes, I will be telling the stories of Della Brown, Mindy Schloss, and Joshua Wade. Three Alaskans whose lives, and deaths, would become intertwined, generating conversations about the treatment of Indigenous victims, state responsibility, and all of the hurt that could have been avoided.

    Invisible May 03, 2022

    Nestled next to the Canal Acres and Bryant nature parks in Lake Oswego, Oregon, is a stereotypical little cookie-cutter neighborhood. On any given day you can find people outside mowing their lawns, taking a walk with their dogs, or waving at a friendly neighbor, but on a summer evening in 2012, the neighborhood would be disturbed by the sound of gunshots. No one could have imagined the grizzly event that would take place in their quiet neighborhood and how one man could take the lives of those closest to him. This is the case of Adrien Graham Wallace and the innocent lives he stole.

    Fallen Angel Apr 12, 2022

    In recent episodes, we’ve had Josh talk about the killing of Cassie Jo Stoddart in his Scream inspired Patreon mini and Emily’s stories of catfishing gone wrong in our episode, “Plenty of Catfish”. I wasn’t searching for a similar story, but I stumbled upon one that eerily resembles a mash-up of both of those cases. This is the story of the murder of Cynthia “CeeCee” Hoffman and the alleged catfish that orchestrated her killing.

    4 Hours Mar 29, 2022

    Many deaths are shrouded in mystery with loved ones going entire lifetimes without ever knowing the truth. A woman in Alabama is working diligently with her family to ensure that her sister’s mysterious death doesn’t remain uninvestigated. When Breana Noojin Nix, a 32-year-old nurse, was found unresponsive in her bathroom by her husband of 9 years, a secret life that no one expected was uncovered. After paramedics couldn’t revive her, her death was quickly ruled accidental, but many people believe that is not the case and that a murder was being covered up. What really happened in the last 4 hours of Breana’s life?

    A Good and Brave Ranger Mar 15, 2022

    When a New Year’s Eve party near Seattle, Washington transformed into a shootout, one of the gunmen fled the area after retrieving multiple firearms from his home. The man started driving, ending up high in the Cascade Mountain Range, where he then fled into the wilds after shooting a park ranger. A massive, unrelenting manhunt unfolded over the next 24 hours, with hundreds of searchers tracking snowy foot impressions and following the shooter’s trail through chest-deep snow, icy creeks, and the looming danger of an unstable man with his back against a mountain. Today, I’ll be talking about Benjamin Barnes and his day in Paradise.

Eventually, investigators narrowed in on a suspect, but he claimed to have simply left her standing at the side of the road. That was until he was taken to court and his story changed, from one of dismissal to self-defense and trans panic. Today, I’ll be telling the story of the inspiration for the newly signed Nikki’s Law: Nikki Kuhnhausen.

    Plenty Of Catfish Feb 15, 2022

    Technology facilitated sexual violence or TFSV, is a term that was created to describe digitally-focused harassment that can include sexual harassment, gender and sexuality-based harassment, cyberstalking, image-based sexual exploitation, revenge porn, and sexual abuse and violence. And unfortunately, the violence doesn't always stop there. More and more we are seeing cases of murder facilitated through dating apps. Today, Emily will share two cases, both tragedies that occurred when two people made a connection on the popular dating site Plenty Of Fish. These are the murders of Ingrid Lyne and Christine Wood.

    Ingrid’s Lynes family has set up a GoFundMe fundraiser in the hopes of raising money for her three daughters.

    Catching Cletus Part 2 - A Man Who Cared Feb 08, 2022

    Carl Cletus Bowles was serving concurrent state and federal sentences at Oregon State Penitentiary, one of which was for murder. In Part 1 of Catching Cletus we learn that he and another ex-convict had gone on a four-day multi-state crime spree in 1965, robbing a motel and raping the desk clerk, committing a brazen mid-day bank robbery in Portland, Oregon, killing a Sheriff’s Deputy in Eugene, kidnapping multiple families, and fleeing from authorities through Oregon, California, and Nevada. Both men were sentenced to life in prison and were never to be considered for parole. In Part 2, the conclusion of this case, we learn that in 1974, Bowles somehow acquired a conjugal visit pass, which he used as cover to escape custody and act out a sequel, of sorts, to his earlier crimes.

    Catching Cletus Part 1 Feb 01, 2022

    When two men cross paths in jail, they become fast friends, but their plans for release don’t include rehabilitation. What their plans do include are repeating the type of crimes that got them imprisoned in the first place; robbery and assault. That was only the start of the men's spree. After four days, they left in their path of destruction a rape victim, a club shootout, multiple abducted families and a dead cop. This is the first part of the story of Carl Cletus Bowles and Wilfred Gray and the terror they inflicted across three states in 1965.

    The Last Seduction Jan 18, 2022

    When a body is discovered on a remote road in Hope, Alaska, names on the documents found in the dead man’s pockets lead investigators to the deceased’s girlfriend. Or was she his fiance? Or was she just a cover for his sexuality? The trail of circumstantial evidence took officers down a wild path of exotic dancers, multiple finances, and living arrangements that seemed odd to even the most open-minded. Today, on Murder in the Rain, listen to the story of the murder of Kent Leppink and his relationship with Mechele Hughes.

    At The Fair Jan 04, 2022

    In the Pacific Northwest, we have many mysterious disappearances, in particular, missing children. Two notorious missing children have eerie similarities between their cases, though they are completely unrelated. Both kids were 14 year old, both spoke to their mother on the phone right before going missing, and both disappeared from their local fair. Today, I’d like to tell you about the disappearances of Jeremy Bright who went missing in 1986 and Misty Copsey who went missing in 1992.

    For Ransom Nov 23, 2021

    Kidnapping for ransom is still prevalent across the world, however, in today's United States it is essentially obsolete. Today’s episode covers three historic US kidnappings that helped to fuel the American parent’s fear for the wellbeing of their child. While the cases are unique in their own way, each child’s parents agonized over whether or not they would see their child again, and not all of them did. Listen in while we discuss the cases of Charles Lindbergh Jr.,Marion Parker, and George Weyerhaeuser.

    Record-Breaking Nov 09, 2021

    Perhaps it’s the distance of a shooting that keeps our interest at a distance. We tell ourselves we will never be in that situation. We aren’t ‘thugs’ or ‘gangsters’, but it’s victim blaming like that which allows these murders to continue without the same concern and outrage we have towards a serial killer stalking and killing someone. Today we discuss the record amount of shootings in the Portland, Oregon area, share stories of some of the unsolved shooting deaths, and try to understand what is causing the record violence.

    The Cunning Of A Man Oct 26, 2021

    In February of 1990, a Beaverton teen was lured from her house by a school friend, a former boyfriend. He raped her, murdered her, and hid her body in hopes that he could get away with it. What ensued after the murder of 16-year-old Erin Reynolds was a complex court case that brougt both families in and out of court for decades while Oregon changed the sentencing of Conrad Engweiler multiple times and eventually set him free.

    Being Creeped Oct 12, 2021

    It’s that time of year again, the best time, Halloween time! I think part of Halloween’s appeal is how it can be a mix of Disneyland with Las Vegas but with lots of candy. We decorate our homes with things that, any other time of the year might be deemed “macabre”. Excuses need not be made to act wild, silly or child-like. Costumes of clothing we would never dream of wearing around our friends and family become totally accepted. Rules become obsolete and the line of expected behaviors begins to blur. Today I’ll be telling two stories of lives lost on Halloween. A pair from Alaska and a teen in British Columbia. All three victims having held out hopes for an enjoyable Halloween night while falling victims to the horrors the holiday can bring.

    What Happened To Gracie? Sep 28, 2021


    As the summer of 2021 came to an end and the fall began, we saw the internet come together to try and locate missing 22-year-old Gabby Petito. From true crime podcasters to video gaming dads with a proclivity to finding hidden details in surveillance footage, we saw a massive nationwide fixation to help bring Gabby home. We also saw anger from the underserved families of missing people of color. What about MY child? What about MY sister? What about MY mom? There are thousands of missing people of color who are “lucky” to get a brief mention on the nightly news - it isn’t until families take it upon themselves, begging for attention from anyone with a platform, that they seem to be heard. Today we’re sharing the case of missing mother of four Graciela Garcia, a case I hadn’t heard about until her daughter reached out, one that hasn’t garnered much media attention at all, and one that seems like it should be solved by now.


    The family of Graciela Garcia is currently trying to raise money to obtain a lawyer and a private investigator to help locate her. Please consider donating to their GoFundMe if you can: Missing Gracie Garcia from Hermiston OR


    You can also donate amounts under $10 directly to Murder in the Rain over the next two weeks. We will combine any donations with our own that will be given to Gracie’s GoFundMe on October 15th. We’re accepting PayPal (murderintherain@gmail.com) and Venmo (@murderintherain)


    To stay up to date on Gracie’s case, please follow the family’s social media accounts. FaceBook - Find Graciela Garcia | Instagram - Find Graciela Garcia | Twitter - Find Graciela Garcia |

    Cosmic Coincidence Sep 13, 2021

    We’ve heard many stories of “cursed lands''. Usually, it’s surrounding a colonizer building on indigenous American land who is then dealt a nasty curse, think Poltergeist. Cursed land stories only continue the misconceptions surrounding what are perceived as “mysterious” cultures like indigenous Americans or gypsies. If a piece of land isn’t cursed, can it still harbor evil? Can a location continually be a draw for those that wish others harm? Today I’ll be telling the stories of Barbara Tucker, Jennifer Tchier, Mindi Thomas, Lila Moler, Stephanie Russell, and Alexandria Ison- connecting a serial killer to bodies that have been found on or around a community college in Gresham, Oregon.

    The Backup Plan Aug 31, 2021

    Today’s case shows you how an average American family can have dark secrets behind closed doors. A couple once totally in love can turn on each other for lust or money, or to avoid the inconvenience that breaking up can inflict. What exactly can make some turn from committing to spending the rest of their life with someone to plotting to commit the murder of that same person? How can one person be totally in love only to find out the object of their affection wants them dead? This is the story of Michael Christopher MacCallum; a son, a father, a husband, a fiance, and a victim of murder.

    Soon, Cindy Aug 17, 2021

    More often than not, a case appears to be cut and dry. At the very least, a death is usually obvious as to if it was caused by an accident, by the victim, or by foul play. But in today’s case, none of those answers are clear. Was Cindy James a tortured victim that was hunted and haunted for 7 years by a perpetrator who eventually caused her death, or were her own mental health issues causing her to attack herself? I’ll let you decide as I walk you through the evidence of the stalking and killing of Vancouver, BC’s Cindy James.

    X Marks The Spot Aug 03, 2021

    Can livestock be the perfect coverup for murder and the TV tropes about pigs true? After a farmhand goes missing in southwestern Oregon the gruesome details around his “disappearance” begin to unfold. Is it possible that a female serial killer remained hidden in the farmland of the Rogue Valley avoiding detection and preying on the nomadic locals that helped her on her farm? In today’s case, we talk about the infamous Susan Monica and the details around her 2014 arrest for the murders of Robert Haney and Stephen Delicino, a story straight out of a crime novel. The question remains, were there more pieces of men buried in the ground of her quiet slice of farm paradise?

    Gravitational Attraction Jul 20, 2021

    When people hear “Murder” they usually think of a gun, knife, or strangulation. What if the murder weapon is a combination of choices, actions, and a vehicle? Every day, an average of 102 lives are lost due to car crashes in the US, 27 of which are due to an impaired driver. That breaks down to about 1 death every 14 minutes. Car accidents are just that right, accidents? What if what caused the accident was avoidable? What if political connections led to an alleged murderer being released? Would those be considered accidents too? Today’s episode is the story of Stacy Morrow, Ryan Sorensen, and Brandon Clements and how their murderer went from being a neglectful driver to the US Marshall’s most wanted list.

    Bumper Jul 06, 2021

    In the early 1980s, several girls went missing in the Salem, Oregon area. Some disappeared with hardly a trace while others turned up dead. An 18-year-old recent high school graduate disappeared while delivering pizzas on the night of July 4th, 1982 leaving behind her car with the engine still running. The hunt for her abductor would lead those working on the case down many paths, but no one expected how it would be connected to multiple murders years later. In today’s episode, we explore the cases of Sherry Eyerly, Rebecca Darling, Katherine Redmond, and Terry Monroe; four young women who were taken when their lives were just beginning.

    Abnormal, Wrong, Unnatural, And Perverse Jun 22, 2021

    When a lesbian couple went missing for three days in Medford, Oregon, concerns for their safety were immediate. Roxanne and Michelle were partners and vocal supporters of gay rights. When their bodies were discovered, it led investigators down a path of destruction left behind by a homophobic man obsessed with an exotic dancer who had already committed another hate-fueled murder mere weeks before he was caught by police. Today’s story is about the murders of Roxanne Ellis, Michelle Abdil, and Scott George- those that lost their lives due to hate, fear, and judgment.


    Stay tuned at the end of the case today as we will be joined by Nancy Duffy, the executive producer of Forensic Files 2 on HLN for an exclusive conversation where we discuss how they were able to safely make a new season of our favorite true crime series even during a pandemic, the challenges they overcame and she’ll even share some clues with us as to what kind of mysteries we can expect from the new season!

    He Was Counterfeit Jun 08, 2021

    Waldport, Oregon is a small quiet town along the Pacific Coast located south of Newport. With a little over 2,000 permanent residents, your chances of being a victim of a violent crime are pretty low, but it happens. While we were all reeling from the immediate aftereffects of the terrorist attacks of 9/11, no one was prepared for the shocking case that would rock this small coastal town in December of 2001. In today’s case, we explore the details around the first case of family annihilation in Oregon state; an entire family died all at the hands of the father who should have protected them. This is the case of the narcissistic Christian Longo; a man who was charming, cunning, and counterfeit.

    In today’s episode, you’ll learn about two cases of missing children who disappeared under incredibly suspicious circumstances. Cody Haynes was 11 years old when he disappeared from his bedroom in Kittitas, WA leaving his stuffed animals in his bed to look like he was asleep.

Sky Metalwala and his mother were on their way to the doctor when car troubles left them stranded on the side of the road in Bellevue, WA. Sky disappeared from his car seat after his mother left him alone, it wasn’t long before people started pointing their fingers at her.

    The Massacre Apr 27, 2021

    When the Whitman family wagons made their way to the Pacific Northwest, they were literal trailblazers. Not only were they some of the first non-native people to cross the Rocky Mountains, they included the first white woman to make it so far West. Accomplishments aside, the Whitman’s brought more than their own curiosity and sense of adventure. They also brought religion, other settlers, and eventually death. As the white man took over more and more land, the Native American’s asked, then begged for the colonization to stop. And when the Whitman’s refused to heed the warning, they were met with a massacre.


    Join Murder in the Rain as we take you waaaaaay back to learn about some of the Native American history of the Pacific Northwest, the journey of the Whitman family, and why it shouldn’t take an axe to the head for people to respect the space of others.

    What Happens In The House Apr 13, 2021

    Angela McAnulty was no stranger to trauma after growing up in a household of abuse and tragically losing her mother to murder in 1973. After being arrested for drugs and having her children taken away, she went to jail and then got clean in the hopes of restarting her life. However when the opportunity came, rather than a reunion filled with laughter, love, and the start of a wonderful new beginning, she became a monster.


    In today’s case, you’ll learn the horrific story of what happened to 15 year old Jeanette Maples at the hands of the people who should have protected her. Angela McAnulty’s trial was notorious in Oregon as it was one of the few death penalty cases against a woman and brings the idea of “justice” to a new light.


    Today’s promo was from A Little Bit Grim podcast; a weekly podcast covering Paranormal, True Crime, Folklore, Conspiracies, Cults, and Disasters.

    A Waking Nightmare Mar 30, 2021

    In 2020, Asian American and Pacific Islanders in the United States were faced with a barrage of hate crimes. From getting punched while walking to the store to spat at by strangers passing, fear is rippling through the AAPI community, rightfully so. While his death was not targeted because of his heritage, the loss of Matthew Choi was a huge loss in Portland. Everyone from his Korean family and friends to the local foodies that loved his kimchi were hurt and scared by the senseless taking of his life.


    In today’s episode, Murder in the Rain will be discussing the numbers surrounding AAPI hate crimes, share some local examples, and talk about the shocking murder of entrepreneur, Matthew Choi.

    2,640 Days Mar 16, 2021

    In 1977, a young woman was kidnapped by a seemingly safe-looking couple while hitchhiking from Oregon to California. For over seven years she would be held against her will, suffering daily whippings, rapes, and other unimaginable tortures. When she was finally able to make her escape, the public was horrified and baffled. Horrified after hearing the details of her life of captivity in a box and baffled that this young woman wouldn’t take advantage of her small bouts of freedom to run for her life. When she finally escaped, she had a whole new battle to survive; convincing a jury to recognize Stockholm Syndrome.


    In Murder in the Rain’s episode ‘2,640 Days’, you’ll learn about Colleen Stan, the woman who was kidnapped by Cameron and Janice Hooker and held captive in the most unspeakable conditions. She started as ‘The Girl in the Box’ but soon became ‘The Girl that Survived’. You’ll also learn about another girl, the first victim, one who didn’t survive; Marie Elizabeth Spannhake.

    Slick Mar 02, 2021

    This week’s story isn’t about moving, and the murder doesn’t take place in the northwest (I know!), but its origins do. So let’s Haul...ass to Ridgefield, Washington, 1943 where fate would have two lovers meet, start a company that would change how we move, lead to one of the most public and expensive family feuds in modern history and leave a family destroyed by suicide and murder. Today I’m talking about the ubiquitous brand, U-haul, and the murder of its founder’s daughter-in-law, Ava Shoen.

    Hearts & Death Feb 16, 2021

    Valentine’s Day is usually a day for lovers, one where they can dote on each other and express their love in the form of special time and presents. But in today’s episode we learn that for some, the happiness of Valentine’s Day can be replaced with heartache, fear, and even death. Gerald Dean Krein Jr. was a depressed man who desired to take others down with him when he was ready to complete suicide. He planned an extravagant sex and suicide party for Valentine's Day 2005. Miles away and years prior Delmar Anholt Jr., a troubled man about to become a father, would commit one of the most atrocious killings in Oregon’s history on Valentine’s Day 1982.

    Any Hate Feb 02, 2021

    In the last few weeks, we’ve seen just how much can happen when a group of white supremacists gets together. In 2011, the terror came not from a large group, but a young couple with shared beliefs in hatred. Once they found each other through white supremacist groups, Joey Pederson and Holly Grisby went on a 10-day spree of terror through Washington, Oregon, and California that would leave four dead and the west coast shaken.

    Uncle Joe Jan 19, 2021

    The man now known as “The Longview Serial Killer” was once a child victim to a time in our history where native children were plucked out of their homes to be adopted out to white middle-class families. The little boy who was affectionately called “Joey” by his adoptive mother, grew up to be a terrifying nightmare to many children in the Pacific Northwest. Today’s case is about Joseph Kondro. He found the vulnerable, the less fortunate, and the impressionable and lulled them into safety with his affection and attention. “Uncle Joe” as they called him would steal their childhood and leave them scarred, but for some little girls, he also stole their lives.

    Trunks Jan 05, 2021

    Small, tight, confined spaces. Not many people like them and most of us have been feeling claustrophobic while stuck at home. One of those small places would be the final resting place for 4 women in the Portland area. It seems shocking and unexpected, especially for Portland, but many people end up having their bodies stuffed in the trunks of cars. In this episode, Murder in the Rain will share four stories about women who were taken, killed, and hidden in their own trunks.

    Ice Cold Dec 22, 2020

    It’s the holiday season and many of us are celebrating with a Christmas tree and the promise of Santa’s visit. While this is normally a happy time for us all, it’s a time for great sadness for one family in Washington State. Ed and Minnie Maurin were an elderly couple who disappeared just before a Christmas party in 1985. Their bodies would later be discovered and the entire town would be left asking what really happened to them. The case quickly grew cold and for over 30 years we were left wondering if anyone would be held accountable for their deaths. In the latest episode, we will share how one man bravely broke his silence and helped uncover a secret buried in this small town.

    The Wrong Track Dec 08, 2020

    Kurt Cobain. A household name synonymous with grunge, the 90’s and unfortunately, suicide. Although it’s yet to be proven otherwise, for 26 years rumors have persisted that someone besides Kurt took his life. In this week’s episode, Murder In The Rain will examine Kurt’s childhood, his history of mental health and addiction struggles and the so-called evidence presented by a private detective with his own agenda, preventing Kurt from resting in peace. So did Kurt hate his life and want to die or did something more nefarious take place?

    The Beginning To Her End Nov 24, 2020

    In today’s case, Emily will talk about how childhood bullying can be more dangerous than hurt feelings and tears. The impact of bullying stretches from depression and anxiety, to alcohol and drug abuse, and in some cases, the trauma is too much to come back from. This is one of those stories; how a teenage decision to get a little bit of revenge impacts an entire community. This is the story of Reena Virk and how a group of peers lured her out and attacked her.

    Wicked Part Of Me Oct 13, 2020

    Since 1849 there have been 110 executions in Washington State. In recent years, capital punishment was abolished in the state, however, not in time to save the lives of the three men we’ll discuss today. In today’s case, Emily tells you the events that resulted in the three most recent executions in Washington State. Three men who were deemed too monstrous to keep their lives; one child rapist, one violent repeat offender and one torturer.

    Non-Unanimous Sep 29, 2020

    Systemic racism might be a new term for a lot of people, but today we’re going to dive into the judicial side of it. In this episode, Alisha will hold our hands through Oregon’s historically racist laws, but this time it’s to celebrate their undoing! By revisiting the infamous murders of a couple caught up in the Portland mob, we’ll learn about racist roots as to why this law was created in the first place, the lives it affected for nearly a century and how its being overturned will continue to affect Oregonians that are in the appeal process.

    Tell Everyone On This Train I Love Them Sep 01, 2020

    Lately, it has felt that every day brings new tragedy and heartbreak. The loss of lives from civilians standing up to racists and white supremacists is nothing new; it has been going on for generations before us. It’s just that now we can watch it unfold live in the palm of our hands.


    Today’s story is one of those heartbreaks. The story of citizens that wanted to stand up for what is right and were met with hate and death. When Demetria Hester, Micah Fletcher, Rick Best, and Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche stood up against a coward, they had no idea that for some, their lives would change. For others, it would end.

    Number 5 Aug 18, 2020

    In a span of three months, dozens of crimes took place along the west coast’s Interstate Five. What was seemingly multiple culprits committing burglary, rape, and murder turned out to be just one man. Law enforcement agencies worked together to share information and with the help of numerous witnesses they put together at least over 20 sketches of the face of a man dubbed the “I-5 Bandit”, a man who would eventually be known as the “I-5 Killer”.

    Disproportionate Jul 07, 2020

    Every state has had marching in the streets. It may feel overwhelming at times, but it feels equally promising that change is inevitable. Today we’ll be telling the story of Aaron Campbell, a young, black, unarmed man that was shot in the back and killed by Portland Police. How a lack of training and communication cost him his life. How the officer fought to be put back on the force. And how that same officer claimed there was never another option. Additionally, Alisha will walk us through some of the statistics surrounding police brutality, why the Black Lives Matter movement should matter to everyone, and what you can do to help keep it moving forward.

    Before You Sits A Monster Jun 09, 2020

    Alaska is a land of wild tundra, making it an ideal home for adventurers and hunters alike. In the early 1980’s, a hunter would become Alaska’s first known serial killer. Instead of the big game he was known for decorating his walls with, he turned his sight to the vulnerable population of sex workers and indegious women. Through the bravery of a survivor and the tenacity of detectives, Robert Hansen’s second trophy collection would be discovered as would his terrifying secrets.

    Vanport & Mulugeta Seraw Feb 18, 2020

    When people think of Portland, they think of a loving, all-inclusive home to all walks of life. However, there is an iniquitous history behind the fact that Portland is the whitest major city in the United States. To honor Black History Month, Alisha will share the story of Vanport, the lost city that, due to neglect and racism, cost the lives of at least 15 residents. 40 years later, the vicious murder of Mulugeta Seraw reminded Portland that there was still work to be done to defeat white supremacists and protect the people of color that reside here.
