This Monday on Ghosts of the Gazette: We’re diving into the heinous crimes reported on March 16, 1988! Kendra takes us to the quiet outskirts of Terrebonne, Oregon, where the brutal murders of Rod and Lois Houser shattered the community. At the center of it all: Randy Guzek and his father Joel Guzek—and the horrifying chain of events that led to that night. Blake heads south to El Paso, Texas, where one of the most disturbing serial killers in the region’s history was already at work. Known as “The Desert Killer,” David Leonard Wood, this absolute piece of garbage was leaving a trail of terror in the desert.
Every other Monday, we dig into fascinating stories from the past — all originally reported on the exact same date (though many years ago) as the episode airs. It’s history, headlines, and a touch of mystery, all rolled into your new favourite podcast.
