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.
