Surviving Gitchie Manitou: The Sandra Cheskey Story

What began as a carefree evening under the stars turned into a nightmare that would haunt Iowa forever. In 1973, five teenagers ventured into Gitchie Manitou State Preserve for a night of campfire fun, but only one survived to tell the story. This episode delves into the horrifying events of that night—the ambush, the unimaginable brutality, and the desperate fight for justice. We unravel the twisted motives of the Fryer brothers and follow the remarkable courage of Sandra Cheskey, whose memory became the key to solving the case. This is a story of heartbreak, resilience, and a community forever scarred.
