Episode 31: Crater and Blue

Summer is just around the corner, which means it’s time to grab your swimsuit and head to the nearest lake to play and relax. Today’s cases focus on the darker side of bodies of water. From Crater lake, where there have been unusual plane crashes and missing boys, to two murders of women named Tiffany at Blue Lake Park, Alisha will be sharing four cases; three of which are unsolved. 

This episode of Murder in the Rain will feature two interviews; Mike Peyton who worked at Crater Lake and Jennifer Jenks, the older sister of Tiffany Jenks, one of the women found murdered in Blue Lake Park. Mike will tell us about his experience during the search of one of the young missing men. Jennifer paints us a picture of who Tiffany was growing up, into adulthood, and how her family copes with being victims of such a horrendous crime.
