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.
