Hello Friends and Happy Holidays! As promised, we’re back with an update that’s also going to serve as our year-end roundup.  Today we’ll talk about personal and show updates along with updates from some of our previous cases! Kevin Coe is dead! Gary Ridgeway might be dying! We’ve got a fundraiser for the family of Phillip Redmon. We’ll talk about the live event with Stolen Voices of Dole Valley, Alisha’s volunteering with Camp Erin, and we’ll top off this sundae with a visit

Last week I started breaking down the case of Warren Forrest. How it’s believed his first victim was Jamie Grissim, how Barbra’s body was found in the silo and how Norma and Suzanne survived similar attacks from a man in a blue van. With Suzanne’s attack being believed right away, there was a legitimate investigation taking place. Thanks to good police work that recognized the perpetrator might be someone with key access to the parks who drove said blue van, they were given t

True crime consumers often feel they’ve ‘heard it all’. Some are drawn to those cases; the Ted Bundys, the Green River Killers, the Jefferey Dahmers. Those who are really into true crime know the smaller, lesser-known cases. They are familiar with the details of the investigation, the victims, and the outcome. But every once in a while, a huge case gets overshadowed by those more familiar ones. Cases get lumped together. A known killer gets the blame, and an actual killer rem

In this case, we actually reached out to Newspapers.com  to see if they would want to partner with us. As you’ve heard in those spots, we’re huge fans of the site. It’s not only our number one resource when it comes to research, but we’ve used it for per

In our previous episode, I told the backstory of Kristin Tomlin, a 20 year old woman who has been missing for 44 years. Almost all of the information in that episode came from the book Kristin Can You Hear Me, and an interview I did with its author, and friend of Kristin, Teresa Letcher. For those who loved and continue to miss Kristin, their biggest frustrations have come from what feels like a lack of investigation. There was so much hubbub surrounding the people Kristin ha

When I received an email from Teresa Letcher about her missing friend, I was surprised I hadn’t h eard of the case. Not because I’m so well-versed; I’m often introduced to cases I’ve never heard of. I was surprised to not know of the disappearance of Kristin Tomlin, Teresa’s childhood friend, because the case is so bizarre, intriguing and scandalous! Over the next two episodes, I’ll be discussing Kristin Tomlin’s life growing up in the Portland area, and the upsetting string

Welcome back to our every-other-month update! Here, we talk about updates to our cases, share true crime news in general, and discuss true crime stuff you might be into. So without further ado, let’s get to it! I know we don’t often get political. HaHa! I mean, we don’t usually talk about things happening in the world; we talk about the politics surrounding a case or how politics are related to failure. But we just want to say real quick, as a Portland-based show, we are not
