Beneath the forests, fog, and stillness of the Pacific Northwest lies a far darker history—one shaped by predators who hid in plain sight. In this episode, we uncover the disturbing stories of 10 serial killers who haunted Washington, Oregon, Alaska, and British Columbia.
From the infamous Green River Killer to the chilling methods of Israel Keyes, each story reveals not just the crimes—but how these men were able to blend into their communities while committing unspeakable acts.
You’ll hear about:
A pig farmer whose victims disappeared without a trace
A family man who buried bodies beneath his own window
A cross-country killer who left taunting smiley face confessions
And a quiet baker who used Alaska’s wilderness to hunt human beings
Some were caught. Some confessed. Some took their secrets to the grave.
This is Northern Crimes—true crime stories from the Pacific Northwest, where beauty and brutality share the same landscape.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
