What Happens in the Woods

Happy Friday, campers! Welcome back for a new episode. The season is almost over, but we still have some great cases to bring you…including this one.Eric and Kouri Richins seemed to have it all. The beautiful couple started a family and led a life that would be the envy of anyone. It all came crashing down one early morning in March of 2020 when Eric passed away tragically and unexpectedly. The community of Kamas, Utah mourned the loss heavily at his passing. For the next year, they would rally behind his widow and family. But the cracks slowly began to show and more about the couple's life came to light. No one would be prepared for what would come out.

We are assembling the gang and will broadcast a live WTF episode. Crazy, right? We know, we can hardly believe it either! Be on the lookout for more details to come on the socials. See you on September 1st, 6 pm PST!In this episode, we're covering a well-known case in the PNW. While you may know of this crime, you may not know the prime person of interest nor the other crimes he committed. One of the most well-known unsolved cases in Oregon history is the 1974 Cowden Family Murders. Almost 50 years ago, Richard and Belinda Cowden took their young children on a last-minute camping trip near Carberry Creek in Copper, OR. They were never seen alive again.Join us to discuss this case, the main suspect, and other cases that are connected to him.Information from this episode:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowden_family_murdershttps://www.strangeoutdoors.com/true-crime-in-the-outdoors/tag/serial+killer+Dwain+Lee+Littlehttps://kobi5.com/news/unsolved-so-oregon-mystery-in-the-woods-pt-2-135405/https://murderpedia.org/male.L/l/little-dwaine.htmhttps://mylifeofcrime.wordpress.com/2017/09/11/monsters-among-us-dwaine-lee-little-convicted-of-1-murder-person-of-interest-in-at-least-4-more/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=WaxVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=DOEDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5587%2C2135664https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1310&dat=19650302&id=J5gRAAAAIBAJ&sjid=_uIDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5527,67454&hl=enhttps://www.newspapers.com/article/statesman-journal-dwaine-little-suspect/44577179/https://www.oddmurdersandmysteries.com/the-murder-of-orla-fay-fipps/

Welcome back for a new episode!This week, Jess and Brice dive into multiple unsolved cases from the Lewis Clark Valley that borders the state lines of Washington and Idaho. Over 40 years have gone by and there are still no answers to the disappearances of 12-year-old Christina White and 35-year-old Steven Pearsall.Nor have there been any breaks in solving the murders of Kristin David, a 22-year-old college student or sisters Kristina Nelson and Brandy Miller, ages 21 and 18.What we do know, is that none of the families of these victims have stopped searching for answers and justice for their loved ones.One person of interest has possible ties to all the victims, and maybe others, but there is no hard proof to bring anyone to justice.Don’t miss us go live on Friday, September 1st at 6:00 pm PST! We can’t wait to hang out and do our first-ever WTF live.Stay tuned for the details on our social media.Information from this episode:https://thecrimewire.com/true-crime/Lewis-Clark-Valley-Serial-Murders-Five-People-Missing-and-Murderedhttps://charleyproject.org/case/christina-lee-whitehttps://charleyproject.org/case/steven-r-pearsallhttps://thecinemaholic.com/kristin-david-kristina-nelson-and-brandy-miller-murders/https://www.facebook.com/LCVSK/posts/kristina-nelson-21-and-her-stepsister-jacquelyn-brandy-miller-18-were-originally/145558495592595/https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis%E2%80%93Clark_Valley_murdershttps://lonestar923.com/lewis-clark-valley-murders/https://medium.com/the-mystery-box/the-stage-door-killer-are-5-lewis-clark-valley-murders-linked-to-1-suspect-f9043652be4dDocumentaries:https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9712948/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1813235/

Hello Campers and happy Friday!Before we get started on the episode, we have a couple of announcements!First, the podcast is celebrating its 100th episode on September 1st. What better way to do this than to give the people what they want?!? We are assembling the gang and will broadcast a live WTF episode. Crazy, right? We know, we can hardly believe it either! Be on the lookout for more details to come on the socials. See you on September 1st, 6 pm PST!Second, your favorite podcasters are TV famous. Yes, you read that right! Back in February we recorded an episode on CrimeDoor TV. It was a wonderful experience and we are so thankful to have been asked. Go check it out by following the link below to the episode, but make sure to check out more episodes that CrimeDoor TV has released! https://therokuchannel.roku.com/details/bb0be98cf53491ffad82d994cf0616e2/crimedoor-tv-s1-e97-episode-97Our second episode for season 6 takes a look at a tragic mass shooting at a Washington University. At the age of 26, Aaron Ybarra had years of mental health struggles and a problem with substance abuse. He was tired of not being taken seriously and had a hatred of the world. His answer was to cause as much suffering before taking his own life. On June 5, 2014, Ybarra walked onto the Seattle Pacific University campus with a shotgun and 50 rounds of ammunition, a hunting knife, and the urge to kill as many people as he could. Sadly, he did succeed in taking one life and injuring several others, but thanks to a heroic person on campus that day, was stopped before he could do more.Join us as we take a look at this mass shooting and the “mastermind” behind it.Information from this episodehttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/crime-courts/suspected-gunman-aaron-ybarra-admits-seattle-college-rampage-police-n12493https://www.columbian.com/news/2014/jun/07/court-documents-paint-dark-side-of-suspect-in-seat/https://schoolshooters.info/sites/default/files/Washington_v_Ybarra_2014.pdfhttps://www.king5.com/article/news/local/timeline-seattle-pacific-university-shooting/281-244056933https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1227630-aaron-ybarra-journalhttps://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/paul-lee-a-young-man-with-lsquoinfectious-positive-attitudersquo/https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/court-releases-video-from-spu-shooting-showing-students-heroic-actions/244202869https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/2-washington-residents-including-spu-shooting-hero-honored-by-congressional-medal-of-honor-societyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM99Iq7kTeM&t=503s

Your favorite podcast is back for a new season!We’ve had some time to recharge and regroup and we are ready to get back into true crime cases from the PNW. This episode takes us back to the early 1900s in Oregon, where a charismatic religious man was able to start a Holy Roller sect in the small community of Corvallis. Franz Edmund Creffield believed he was the new messiah and it was his job, his responsibility, to find the one lucky lady who would be the mother to the second Christ. His antics caused many issues with the men of the area and the local law enforcement.Join Brice and Jess for the season 6 opener of the podcast! Let us know your thoughts and send any suggestions you have our way.Some information from this episode:A deep dive into Creffield and the newspaper reports of his activity at the turn of the 1900s with news articles included (this is also a review of the book written by T.

The Canadian Greyhound Bus Cannibal Hello, friends! Join Jess, Brice, and our special guest Dean around the campfire while Mara takes the reins and tells us about the shocking case of the killing of young Tim McLean. Tim McLean was just 22 years old when he boarded Greyhound bus 1170 bound for Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. On the fateful day of July 30th, 2008, he lost his life to Vince Li. Mara tells us about the stabbing and eventual cannibalism that led to a standoff with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba. Li was finally taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder but he would not be found criminally responsible for the crime due to mental illness. We discuss the profound impact this case had on the passengers of the bus and the family of the victim. Was justice served for McLean and his family? Should Li be able to rejoin society? Listen to the episode and don’t forget to give us your thoughts!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Tim_McLeanhttps://web.archive.org/web/20080810005604/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080805.wbus06/BNStory/National/homechrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/3458881/Manitoba-Criminal-Code-Review-Board-decision.pdfhttps://www.ranker.com/list/facts-about-tim-mclean-greyhound/jen-jeffershttps://nypost.com/2017/02/11/man-who-beheaded-bus-passenger-granted-total-freedom/https://web.archive.org/web/20090315135511/http://www.edmontonjournal.com/Health/Beheader%2Bcriminally%2Bresponsible/1356476/story.htmlhttps://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/greyhound-killer-believed-man-he-beheaded-was-an-alien-1.1131575https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/the-scream-that-haunts-the-forgotten-passengers-of-bus-1170/article1372244/?page=allhttps://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/40-year-old-suspect-held-in-gruesome-manitoba-bus-killing-1.705008https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/greyhound-beheading-10th-anniversary-1.4760074https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/mother-of-tim-mclean-ends-petition-to-change-law-1.2502104https://globalnews.ca/news/1855998/timeline-of-decisions-in-the-case-of-vince-li/
