Northern Crimes

From the high desert of Oregon to the remote mountains of Montana, the serenity of the great outdoors has often been shattered by sudden, senseless violence. This investigation examines a series of harrowing accounts where standard camping trips transformed into forensic mysteries and desperate battles for survival. We analyze the 1977 Cline Falls hatchet attack, the "Buried Bodies" spree in the Adirondacks, and the 2024 Moose Creek homicide that was initially mistaken for a grizzly bear attack. By focusing on investigative timelines and the behavior of nomadic predators, we explore how isolation and mountain hospitality can be weaponized in America's backcountry.

Florida is often defined by its promise of reinvention and paradise, but beneath the turquoise waters and haunting Everglades lies a darker history of disappearances and unsolved violence.
This episode explores six haunting cases that have stymied investigators for decades, from the "Gold Sock Killer" of the 1970s to the chilling disappearance of Suzie Wood from a schooner in Key West.
We examine the forensic evidence and investigative timelines of these disparate crimes, including the thirty-year search for Amy Billig and the interstate bigamy of a fugitive flight engineer. From the sugar cane fields of Belle Glade to the motel rows of Panama City Beach, we analyze the factors that allowed these predators to vanish into the Florida heat.

In the early 1980s, the "Ripper Crew" turned the Chicago suburbs into a landscape of ritualistic terror. Operating out of a red Dodge van, this four-man group - led by a contractor with links to John Wayne Gacy - subjected at least eighteen women to dehumanizing, cult-like violence. This investigation examines the 1982 disappearance of Lorry Borowski and the "satanic chapel" discovered in a North Paulina Street attic.
While the ringleader remains behind bars, the 2019 release of Thomas Kokoraleis has reignited anxiety across Illinois. Despite a 1982 confession that led police to the remains of his victims, Kokoraleis now maintains his innocence, claiming his words were coerced. We explore the legal loopholes of a bygone era and the enduring friction between a state-mandated release and a family's search for the truth.

On September 10, 2001, 74-year-old Alaskan veteran James Hamrick stopped at a remote British Columbia rest area with a hitchhiker he had kindly offered to help. What followed was a brutal, senseless betrayal that left Hamrick dead and his killer fleeing across international borders during the chaos of the September 11th attacks. This documentary examines the 25-year investigative journey from a lonely roadside ravine to a Colorado prison cell, uncovering a predator with a hidden history of violence spanning two countries. We analyze the forensic evidence, the chilling 2002 confession, and the complex legal delays that eventually brought the "Highway 97 Killer" to a symbolic final judgment in 2026.
