Missoula, Montana—known for its mountain views, tight-knit community, and quiet charm. But in the shadow of its pine-covered hills, something sinister was happening.
For over a decade, a predator lived among the townspeople. He delivered furniture, worked ordinary jobs, and blended in with the rhythm of everyday life. But behind the mask was a dark obsession—and a trail of violence no one saw coming.
Victims disappeared. Clues were missed. Authorities came close, but the truth kept slipping through their fingers.
Until one night in 1986, when the quiet town fought back.
In this episode, we trace the chilling story of the Missoula murders—uncovering how one man eluded justice for years, and how a twist of fate finally brought it all to an end.
🎧 Press play—because sometimes, the most dangerous people are the ones who seem the most familiar.

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.
