Crime Off The Grid

Dude. Chillin’. Good vibes. Right?That's the image most of us have of surfers. But what happens when the waves get crowded, tempers flare, and someone decides they've had enough?In this episode of Crime Off the Grid, we're heading to the California coast for a very different kind of surf story. From Fort Point beneath the Golden Gate Bridge to Rodeo Beach in Golden Gate National Recreation Area and Morro Strand State Beach, we'll look at cases where arguments over waves escalated into serious violence— and victims who found themselves fighting for more than the next wave.Sources:Probation for 2 surfers in wave rage assault / Judge says turf battles must cease Three surfers arrested for assaulting fellow wave-rider Fort Point surfin' turf tiff turns gnarly / 3 charged with 'ocean rage' beating Complaint-Filed-Andrew-Eric-Gustafson.pdf Paddleboarder rams and holds female surfer underwater: DA https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/journals/DeakinLawRw/2004/29.html?utm_source=chatgpt.comSupport the show!For bonus content join our Patreon!patreon.com/CrimeOfftheGridFor a one time donation:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cotgFor more information about the podcast, check outhttps://crimeoffthegrid.com/Check out our Merch!!  https://in-wild-places.square.site/s/shopFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/crimeoffthegridpodcast/ and  (1) Facebook

Yosemite in 1974.  A young couple was hiking back to Bridalveil Campground after camping by a Ostrander lake when one of them was shot and killed.  Was it murder? or an accident? The deceased was found by hikers propped up beside the trail and they wondered... was this person alive or dead? At the scene, there was a pamphlet on the ground nearby called Spiritualism, Sorcery, and Witchcraft.  An arrest was eventually made and at the trial, a spiritual guide (or maybe a witch?) put a curse on Yosemite's Law Enforcement Specialist.  You can't make this stuff up!Sources: Michael P.

When three people at Carey Hot Springs in Blaine County, Idaho, witnessed something involving a young child that deeply concerned them, they didn’t look away—they called 911. Their decision set off an investigation that eventually led hundreds of miles away to Yellowstone National Park. This is a story of how three witnesses who “saw something and said something” set a chain of events in motion, and how Yellowstone rangers worked to locate the suspect and ensure the safety and welfare of a young child as they made "one more pass."Sources:https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/marquette-man-charged-in-idaho-for-sex-crime-against-child/ar-AA1NjhYPhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/update-marquette-man-acquitted-of-child-sex-crime-charges-following-idaho-trial/ar-AA1NjhYPFirst hand account from Yellowstone RangerSupport the show!For bonus content join our Patreon!patreon.com/CrimeOfftheGridFor a one time donation:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cotgFor more information about the podcast, check outhttps://crimeoffthegrid.com/Check out our Merch!!  https://in-wild-places.square.site/s/shopFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/crimeoffthegridpodcast/ and  (1) Facebook

What was supposed to be an epic birthday adventure at Havasu Falls turned into a terrifying fight for survival. Two women traveled deep into the remote Havasupai Indian Reservation in Arizona to experience the turquoise waters and spectacular waterfalls of Havasu Canyon. But after the friends became separated near the village of Supai, one of them was followed and viciously attacked. With no roads into Supai and only one BIA law enforcement officer in the village that morning, the investigation unfolded in one of the most isolated communities in the country. CORRECTION:  If you listened to this episode on the first day, we had some information wrong about getting a permit to visit the Havasupai Reservation.  We made the correction in the audio and the corrected info is this... According to the Havasupai Tribal Website, the Campground permits are $455 per person for a 3-night reservation and lodge permits are $2,277 for a 3-night reservation (allows up to 4 people per reservation). Visit www.havasupaireservations.com to purchase your permits on the opening date, which is usually Feb 1.Sources:UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF ARIZONACASE NUMBER: 26-4256 MJ CDBhttps://www.abc15.com/news/crime/tourist-attacked-on-havasupai-reservation-trail-by-convicted-felonhttps://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/tourist-assaulted-havasupai-reservation-supai-suspect-custodySupport the show!For bonus content join our Patreon!patreon.com/CrimeOfftheGridFor a one time donation:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cotgFor more information about the podcast, check outhttps://crimeoffthegrid.com/Check out our Merch!!  https://in-wild-places.square.site/s/shopFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/crimeoffthegridpodcast/ and  (1) Facebook
