  • The Night Alaska's Most Prolific Serial Killer Was Caught
    The episode details the investigation and ultimate identification of James Dale Richie as a prolific serial killer in Anchorage, Alaska, during the summer of 2016. Amidst a period of record-breaking gang violence, Richie managed to evade suspicion while using a rare Colt Python revolver to murder five different victims across the city. Forensic analysis eventually linked the distinctive weapon to multiple crime scenes, including the Ship Creek Trail and Valley of the Moon Park. The case reached a violent conclusion in November 2016 when Richie was killed in a shootout with police after he ambushed an officer during a routine stop. Although the Anchorage Police Department officially closed the cases based on ballistic evidence, the sources reflect on Richie’s past as a star athlete and the lack of a clear motive for his transformation into a murderer. This overview highlights the challenges law enforcement faced in connecting these seemingly random homicides within a city already struggling with rising crime rates.

  • What Happened to Solid Rock Church After Mica Miller’s Death?
    The episode details the controversial downfall of Solid Rock Church following the tragic suicide of Mica Miller, the wife of founder John-Paul Miller. Before her death, Mica accused her husband of severe emotional abuse and persistent stalking, allegations that eventually led to a federal indictment against him. In the wake of these events, persistent public protests and declining attendance forced the Myrtle Beach congregation to permanently close its doors. The church property was subsequently sold for redevelopment into condominiums, marking the end of the physical institution.
