  • The Vampire Clan Murders: Land Between the Lake National Recreation Area

    In 1996, a troubled 16-year-old boy named Rod Ferrell believed he was a 500-year old-vampire. He formed a small group of local teens in Murray, Kentucky obsessed with vampire roleplaying, blood drinking, and occult beliefs. The roleplaying took a serious turn when Rod broke into the home of Richard Wendorf and Naomi Ruth Queen - the parents of clan member Heather Wendorf - and beat them to death. What followed became a media sensation, and has been remembered as the Vampire Clan Murders.

  • Best Friend Killer: Angeles National Forest

    In October 1985, 17-year-old Missy Avila left her home in California's San Fernando Valley to spend the afternoon with friends and never came home. Three days later, two hikers made a horrifying discovery in Angeles National Forest. As Missy's family desperately searched for answers, the people closest to them offered comfort and promised to help find her killer. However, the truth about what happened to Missy was far closer to home than anyone could have imagined.

  • Making a Monster: Werewolf Hiking Trail

    Before America had witch trials, Europe had werewolf trials - and they were as dark as they sound. One of the most infamous cases of time was that of Peter Stumpp, a man who was convicted and executed for serial murder, cannibalism, incest, and practicing black magic to transform into a werewolf. The Werewolf of Bedbug has cemented its place in German history not only for its gruesome nature, but as an example of a case in which people focused on villainizing wolves. Looking back on the case in present day, it ultimately revealed that the depths of human depravity seem to know no bounds.

  • The Nearly Forgotten Murder of Susan Poupart: Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest

    In May 1990, 29-year-old Susan “Suzy” Poupart disappeared after a night out with friends on the Lac du Flambeau Reservation in northern Wisconsin. For decades, her family has lived alongside the men they believe know exactly what happened to her, while a billboard bearing Suzy’s face has stood as a reminder that her case remains unsolved. Now, more than 35 years later, new DNA technology and a renewed investigation may offer the best chance yet to finally bring Suzy justice.

  • The Schoolhouse Blizzard: Homestead National Historical Park

    On January 12th, 1888 during an unusually mild winter day, a sudden and deadly storm descended onto the American Midwest. Hurricane force winds, blinding snow and plummeting temperatures caught hundreds completely off guard. The historic storm was nicknamed the Children’s Blizzard or the Schoolhouse Blizzard as many of the victims were children attempting to find their way home through the storm from their one-room schoolhouses. While hundreds perished, stories of brave teachers and students alike emerged in the aftermath.

  • Wildfire or a DEA Cover-up? Yosemite National Park

    In the summer of 2013, one of the largest wildfires in California history tore through the Sierra Nevada, burning more than 257,000 acres and leaving homes, ranches and beloved landscapes destroyed in its wake. As the Rim Fire grew, so did the rumors about who was responsible. Was it a drug cartel, rafters, government mismanagement, or a local hunter who knew these forests better than most?
