Number 2: Havasu Canyon; Attacked Eight Miles Down
What was supposed to be an epic birthday adventure at Havasu Falls turned into a terrifying fight for survival. Two women traveled deep into the remote Havasupai Indian Reservation in Arizona to experience the turquoise waters and spectacular waterfalls of Havasu Canyon. But after the friends became separated near the village of Supai, one of them was followed and viciously attacked. With no roads into Supai and only one BIA law enforcement officer in the village that morning, the investigation unfolded in one of the most isolated communities in the country. CORRECTION: If you listened to this episode on the first day, we had some information wrong about getting a permit to visit the Havasupai Reservation. We made the correction in the audio and the corrected info is this... According to the Havasupai Tribal Website, the Campground permits are $455 per person for a 3-night reservation and lodge permits are $2,277 for a 3-night reservation (allows up to 4 people per reservation). Visit www.havasupaireservations.com to purchase your permits on the opening date, which is usually Feb 1.Sources:UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF ARIZONACASE NUMBER: 26-4256 MJ CDBhttps://www.abc15.com/news/crime/tourist-attacked-on-havasupai-reservation-trail-by-convicted-felonhttps://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/tourist-assaulted-havasupai-reservation-supai-suspect-custodySupport the show!For bonus content join our Patreon!patreon.com/CrimeOfftheGridFor a one time donation:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cotgFor more information about the podcast, check outhttps://crimeoffthegrid.com/Check out our Merch!! https://in-wild-places.square.site/s/shopFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/crimeoffthegridpodcast/ and (1) Facebook

Number 3: Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve: Mail Day Massacre
In the remote Alaska community of McCarthy, winter means isolation—and one day in March 1983, that isolation became deadly. Louis D. Hastings had come to Alaska searching for pristine wilderness, but his growing obsession with development, environmental destruction, and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System led him to devise a horrific plan. When the weekly mail plane arrived in McCarthy, Hastings launched a deadly attack that left six people dead and two wounded. In this episode of Crime Off the Grid, we travel to Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve to uncover the McCarthy murders, Hastings’ chilling plan, and the remote Alaskan community that survived one of the state's most shocking mass killings.Support the show!For bonus content join our Patreon!patreon.com/CrimeOfftheGridFor a one time donation:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cotgFor more information about the podcast, check outhttps://crimeoffthegrid.com/Check out our Merch!! https://in-wild-places.square.site/s/shopFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/crimeoffthegridpodcast/ and (1) Facebook

Number 5: Yellowstone National Park: One More Pass
When three people at Carey Hot Springs in Blaine County, Idaho, witnessed something involving a young child that deeply concerned them, they didn’t look away—they called 911. Their decision set off an investigation that eventually led hundreds of miles away to Yellowstone National Park. This is a story of how three witnesses who “saw something and said something” set a chain of events in motion, and how Yellowstone rangers worked to locate the suspect and ensure the safety and welfare of a young child as they made "one more pass."Sources:https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/marquette-man-charged-in-idaho-for-sex-crime-against-child/ar-AA1NjhYPhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/update-marquette-man-acquitted-of-child-sex-crime-charges-following-idaho-trial/ar-AA1NjhYPFirst hand account from Yellowstone RangerSupport the show!For bonus content join our Patreon!patreon.com/CrimeOfftheGridFor a one time donation:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cotgFor more information about the podcast, check outhttps://crimeoffthegrid.com/Check out our Merch!! https://in-wild-places.square.site/s/shopFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/crimeoffthegridpodcast/ and (1) Facebook
