Last week we mentioned that this week’s episode is very special to us and is very different from our usual format. When Danielle Tudor was in town a few weeks ago for a political event, she was kind enough to schedule time with us to give us an update of sorts. So, we went to her mother’s home and sat down with Danielle Tudor and Tiffany Edens, both survivors of Richard Gillmore, Portland’s jogger...

Last week, I told you about Robert Silveria aka Sidetrack aka The Boxcar Killer, and his years-long series of murders. Sidetrack traveled at will, with no record of his movements, and his pool of victims were the unhoused, the drifters, and the fellow rail hoppers he encountered. People on the fringe- the kind who wouldn't be missed. This week, the end of the murders, the arrest, and many conf...

Part 1: "Butchered Up" By the mid-nineteen-nineties, the United States population of train tramps and hobos dropped to only a few thousand from their Depression-era numbers of two million plus. This turn-around began in 1941, when the U.S. began actions during WWII, which led to the military draft, and "the creation of millions of jobs in defense and war industries.” The man we're...

Part 2: The Dream Has Never Changed Last week I spoke about perpetrator, rapist and murderer Bruce Bradley Bushey.

Today I’ll talk with Patrick about what he remembers of his mother and the chaos surrounding her death. He’ll talk a...

Part 1: "When You Stop Breathing" When a woman’s body was discovered partially undressed, strangled, and abandoned near the Green River in Washington, it was quickly assumed she had been yet another victim of the Green River Killer.

Part 1: "Victims of Opportunity" In the early 1980s, a terrifying pattern started to emerge; young women and girls disappearing from the Seattle-Tacoma area.

When people commit crimes, they often make headlines for going on the lam, doing anything they can to avoid capture and punishment.

In August of 1997, the quaint little city of Selah, Washington, was shocked to learn that one of their own, Carolyn Clift, was found dead inside her own residence, the victim of a particularly brutal stabbing. Despite multiple eyewitnesses who had heard a disturbance and even glimpsed a potential suspect fleeing the scene, the investigation languished into a cold case. However, a breakthrough occu...

Part 2: “ The Names of the Dead ” The Order was a gang of white supremacists turned domestic terrorists.

In the midst of their crimes, they carried out an assassination- t...

Part 1: “ The Last Angry Man ” It started with a sick dream of a violent revolution and a race war. Robert Mathews blamed Jewish people for all of the ills of the world.
