Many deaths are shrouded in mystery with loved ones going entire lifetimes without ever knowing the truth. A woman in Alabama is working diligently with her family to ensure that her sister’s mysterious death doesn’t remain uninvestigated. When Breana Noojin Nix, a 32-year-old nurse, was found unresponsive in her bathroom by her husband of 9 years, a secret life that no one expected was uncovered. After paramedics couldn’t revive her, her death was quickly ruled accidental, but many people believe that is not the case and that a murder was being covered up. What really happened in the last 4 hours of Breana’s life?

Little Part 2: “She Rode Alone”
Last week, I told you the story of the Cowden Family and how Richard, Belinda, David, and Melissa seemed to have vanished while camping near Carberry Creek Road over the Labor Day weekend of 1974. Over 7 months later, their skeletal remains were discovered- Belinda and the children in a cave- Richard, tied to a tree. With very little to go on, police began looking into local men who would have, not only known the area well but could have been capable of such a monstrous act. It was when they read Dwain Lee Little’s name on the list of recently paroled prisoners the hair on their neck stood up and they felt they might have found the first person of interest. Today, I’ll be telling you about the crimes Dwain committed that landed him in prison, how he came to be released so early, and the harm he was able to commit as a free man. Was he the killer of the Cowden family? Only Dwain and the Cowdens know.

Several months ago, I received an email from a journalist in Washington. Eric Trent, who works for the Chronicle, informed me he had been working on an unsolved disappearance and he was hoping I could help get the word out. We were FINALLY able to have a conversation about the case and it left me with even more questions and a dropped jaw.
Today I’ll be telling you all the information publicly available regarding the unsolved disappearance of 11-year-old Louk Peeyoundday and how the FBI special agent assigned to his case hoped he could close it quickly as he had experience with finding missing 11-year-old boys- though the other disappearance I’ll be talking about today wound up having a much darker ending than anyone expected.

Last week, Josh detailed the disappearance and likely murder of Gene Bassett, who had vanished soon after arriving in the Pacific Northwest while on a day–trip to sell his car in Seattle. Found in possession of Bassett's vehicle and belongings, DeCasto Mayer and his mother Mary Smith were found guilty only of grand larceny in the case, as the murder of Gene Bassett could not be proven. In part two of Deadly Potentialities, a confession written on the eve of a prison release, a gruesome death by shame via suicide, and a reach into the past, to solve the vanishing of a a man and woman who were never seen again after entering the home of Mayer and Smith.

In the weeks leading up to an ocean voyage to The Philippines, Gene Bassett listed his brand new Chrysler for sale in local (Seattle) newspapers. He'd decided to sell the automobile rather than have it shipped to him in Manila, having recently accepted a position there. The morning he left on a ferry to meet a prospective buyer was the last time any of his family ever saw him. The brand-new vehicle also vanished with Gene Bassett. It was recovered days later, eight hundred miles from its last known sighting, driven by a man with at least a dozen aliases- and Bassett, thought dead, was said to have been buried somewhere in the wilds outside of Seattle.

Part 2: "The Demons Have Taken Over"
In last week’s episode, we discussed the 2005 vigilante killings in Bellingham, Washington. A man, haunted by the traumas of his own childhood, was on a mission to hunt pedophiles because he thought he was protecting the public, and more specifically, vulnerable children. He claimed he was inspired to do so by another 2005 case from Idaho, the murders of Mark McKenzie, Brenda Groene, and Slade Groene, and the kidnapping of the two youngest Groene children; Dylan and Shasta. Driven by a desperate desire to confront the man responsible for these heinous crimes, he sought to dispose of as many level 3 sex offenders as he could. In this week’s episode we’ll continue to discuss the Idaho case and what happened after the Groene children were taken and the history of the man responsible; Joseph Edward Duncan III.

Today, we’ll explore two unique cases where perpetrators took to the internet to bear their souls and how the cases relate; a vigilante killer in Washington state who was so floored by a devastating case out of northern Idaho that he took it upon himself to do the public a service and take justice into his own hands. Then we’ll dive into that northern Idaho case that left the nation holding their breath to see what would happen next.

A Patreon Exclusive
As Rob Thomas iconically said in the classic summer jam Smooth ”Man, it’s a hot one”. This summer has seen record temperatures across the country. Speaking of across the country, we’re once again headed out of town, hosting a booth and presentation at the True Crime and Paranormal Podcast Festival in Denver! Since we’re out and about, we’re sharing one of my favorite Patreon episodes, Nine Strangers. Not only is it a fascinating mystery surrounding the deaths of two mountain climbers in South America, but we hope it will chill you out with talks of elevation, snow, and freezing temperatures.
So what happens when nine strangers set out from across the US after a Portland-based climbing group puts together the climb of a lifetime? Elevation sickness, frustration, and eventually suspicious deaths.

Last week, I told the stories of eight, young Black women trafficked into sex work. All had been murdered in and around North Portland. These cases were presented to the Green River Task Force when no suspects emerged during initial investigations. It was found that none of the murders were connected to Gary Ridgway. Years later, the state would claim five of the women were connected to the same culprit. Today, I’ll detail how police eventually tracked down and arrested a man for four of the murders, employed flimsy-at-best DNA evidence, and how the law presented a generous and underhanded plea deal, which left some wondering if the closure of 4 unsolved cold cases was motivated by a district attorney’s election rather than justice.

Starting in March 1983 and through June 1993, someone was killing young, black women and girls in North Portland. The victims weren’t acknowledged with much more than a blip in the paper. The killer wasn’t making the headlines as bombastic Ted Bundy was. He wasn’t prolific enough to warrant a task force like Gary Ridgway. He was a mentally ill man with an extensive criminal history, unmanageable addictions, and no memory of what he may have done. Today’s story isn’t about that man. It’s about his four confirmed victims, and his possible other victims. Next week, I’ll be sharing the story of the subsequent arrest, charges and jail time given to the man police felt could have been responsible for up to 25 murders and how once he was found guilty, his sentence left the family members of victims appalled.

Black powder dynamite is both efficient and hazardous. Its general commercial use is to clear land of large debris like boulders and tree stumps. Though it has only 20 to 30 percent of the explosive power of full nitro dynamite, if that power is multiplied and applied to a human body, the effect is devastating.
April 21, 1955, was the last day of Oliver Smith's life. Twelve sticks of black powder explosive had been bound with black tape and mounted to the underside of the driver's seat in Smith's 1952 Buick sedan. He'd been driving around Portland for two days, unaware of Death waiting beneath his seat cushion. Late that evening, Smith got into his car, turned the key, hit the starter switch, and died instantly in a blast that destroyed the vehicle and obliterated the 35-year-old attorney and new husband.

In today’s case we explore a real whodunit in a little unincorporated community in Jackson county called Applegate, Oregon. In 2016 a shocking crime would take place on a local ranch and leave folks reeling when they learned that their little community could be the backdrop for a soon to be infamous crime.

Being that May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, I wanted to share a story that would highlight violence against those in the AAPI community, then I remembered one of the first cases I covered, way back in September of 2019; The Hells Canyon Massacre. Since that time, the story has received more media coverage, and my research abilities have improved, so I wanted to revisit the case and share even more of the story of Hells Canyon and how it isn’t a hidden shadow in Oregon’s history, but rather a cornerstone to its racist foundation.

A veteran police officer was retired from law enforcement as the result of post-traumatic stress after his involvement in what was once the worst mass shooting in the United States. The next year, after testifying against a fellow officer in a high-profile murder case, he and his family moved from California to a quiet town in Washington. Two years later, he would endure a home invasion that may have been revenge against a cop thought by some to be a rat. Though he’d been found hogtied and shot in the head, his credibility in the incident was doubted by former colleagues who believed he may have staged the incident himself. This is the unsolved mystery of Doyle Wheeler.

Today's episode is called Strange Things are afoot at the Circle K. Unlike a regular episode, Patreon allows us to venture out of the Pacific Northwest. And in this case, I will be taking us to Naples, Florida, where 20 years ago, within just a couple months of each other, two men in Naples, Florida disappeared. They didn’t have a ton in common except for both being young, hard working fathers. Another thing they have in common? The last time either of them was seen alive, they were being placed in the back of the same police officer's vehicle. Today I’ll be telling the stories of Terrance Williams and Felipe Santos, and the last man seen interacting with them, Cpl. Steven Calkins.

I am related to a few of the members of this sect
y'all are really pretending not to realize the fact that crime skyrocketed after the riots of 2020? that's why police interactions and officer-involved shootings have risen
psychiatry and psychology sure have a lot to answer for. I kind of think this was a premeditated crime but I don't understand why. why kill the guys who were basically his lifeline in a cold unfamiliar place. why strand himself, out in the cold, isolated. I don't accept the caribou theory of triggering a murderous rage. dudes kill things all the time. they like to. they are detached from pretty much everything they do. luckily he did not use a sleepwalking defense.
Oooh, can't wait to listen tonight while at work. I'm born and raised and grants pass and still here
There was a movie most recently that had these same types of details. I will look it up, but I believe this is called "The Hero Syndrome" not really a hero but the suspect gets a "high" off of the act itself.
1st time listening. the victim shaming is disgusting. check yourselves ladies.
Ugh. Would of definitely listened to this podcast but you had to share your crazy political views
sickening to hear these women grieving for this violent POS.
well the state guidelines for sentencing are effed up in that state. Google this guy he has evil psychopath eyes and he is ugly.
I believe these women should know better than to lump this guy in with the "troubled" teenagers they are familiar with, with their alleged "undeveloped" brains, etc. I believe that lumping a genuine psychopath in with the "troubled" kids they claim to know well as a group is misguided and even downright wrong. Kind of malicious actually. They struggle to decipher a reason for this guy's crime (ie his "anger" that "needs to go somewhere" so it is visited on "someone close to him") based on what they allege to know about teenagers as a group, and it is bizarre and demoralizing. As for the even more bizarre and demoralizing outcome of the parole hearing, I hope some minds can be open to the possibility that the outcome was somehow decided by the board *before* the farce of the hearing took place. outside of the usual (and always questionable) procedure, and that the board did not fully comprehend what they had agreed to beforehand until it was far too late. That would explain the visible
Lived in the Portland/Vancouver area all my life. I remember this story. It's nice hearing it from other locals.

I can't wait to listen to this episode! This person was our neighbor, and came to a yard sale we had several years ago. She came by in filthy overalls and a VERY bad wig, and disqusting boots that looked several sizes too big and had been worn for years. She is the ONLY person our dog ever reacted to! When we saw her face on the news a year ir so later, we were shocked!
soldiers are fingerprinted. maybe when he joined, they weren't doing it.
I remember when both Michella Welch was killed and Jennifer Bastian disappeared. I think it's part of the reason why I love True Crime so much.
Damn, this poor child.
I am so happy I found you guys!! WOW your voices are great, you get into detail not a lot of girly screaming and laughing back and forth! You rock!! The ending is perfect too!!! hahahahahaha I get it if you go to bend you will come home with VD! LOL
I love this podcast but it took me three tries to finish this episode. Great job getting this story out there.
I loved this. I live in Australia and believe me there are very similar problems here too. I recommended this to my niece who is a high school teacher, you really spoke about the issue so well and I believe that she could play it for her students in her Society and Culture class. Great job guys, so eloquent.
Read, "Understanding the Borderline Mother." Often, the mother will project negative feelings onto one child, while positive onto the other.
