A quiet beach on the Sonoma Coast. Two sleeping bags in the sand. And a crime so brutal, it would leave a permanent scar on a small California town.
In August 2004, Lindsay Cutshall and Jason Allen—young, devout, and deeply in love—set out for a weekend getaway. By morning, they were gone, executed while they slept beside the Pacific Ocean. No witnesses. No motive. No answers.
For thirteen years, their case remained unsolved—until a second murder shattered the silence and exposed a killer who had been hiding in plain sight.
This is the haunting story of the Jenner Beach Murders—an investigation marked by dead ends, a community gripped by fear, and families whose grief would change lives in unexpected ways.
From Northern Crimes, this is one of the most chilling cases we’ve ever covered.
