What Happens in the Woods

We are starting off the new year with a wild story. This episode came about when Jess began researching crimes in Australia. With Australia being 2nd to the US as far as listenership for weeks, it was interesting to search out some of the top crimes and criminals that were from that part of the world. The case of the Wanda Beach Murders from the 1960’s stood apart from the rest, but it would lead...

This episode we discuss a female criminal who used her business of fortune telling in North Seattle to scam people out of their hard earned money.

Sylvia made an impulse decision to have her palm read; one that would haunt her the rest of her life. Over the next few years...

Our case this episode involves very graphic and disturbing information. We hope that listeners will use discretion while listening. In the summer of 1990, the nightlife in the greater Seattle area was hot. Police would be run ragged when a string breaking and entering and theft crimes begin to be reported in several neighborhoods. Then, 3 women are violently murdered within weeks of one another an...

This week we take a look into a landmark case that was solved in Washington State using Genealogical DNA as the only evidence to convict a suspect of two murders from over 30 years ago. Jay Cook and Tanya Van Cuylenborg embarked on an overnight trip from Victoria, Canada in November of 1987 to visit Seattle. Their murders were horrific and although DNA was collected, the case went immediately cold...

When serial killers are apprehended, rarely is it because they turn themselves in. Not only did Wayne Adam Ford do just that when he walked into the Humboldt County Sheriff’s office, he made sure to have evidence with him to prove he had committed the crime. Evidence in the form of a severed woman’s breast belonging to his most recent victim in Southern California. Over the course of a few days in...

For years, Robert Hansen lived the perfect double life; a respected member of the community, a mild mannered and shy family man, an avid and record-setting hunter. But there was a monster inside that was capable of horrible and despicable acts towards women. The untamed state of Alaska proved the perfect backdrop for him to fulfill his fantasies of hunting prey. Some human, some animal. With his f...

While the nation was still reeling from the Tylenol and Excedrin poisonings, another player from Washington state emerged in 1991 with a scheme to use cyanide laced Sudafed to murder unsuspecting people. After 3 victims become ill, and 2 of those victims unfortunately died, millions of capsules of 12-hour Sudafed are recalled. Just as before, when Stella Nickell killed, no clear connection between...

Our second season begins with a local case that quickly gained national attention. It’s almost like something out of a novel, but in this case truth is stranger than fiction.

Yes, you read that correctly. Death by E...
