Beneath the forests, fog, and stillness of the Pacific Northwest lies a far darker history—one shaped by predators who hid in plain sight. In this episode, we uncover the disturbing stories of 10 serial killers who haunted Washington, Oregon, Alaska, and British Columbia.

And a quiet baker who used Alaska’s wilderness to hunt human beings

A quiet beach on the Sonoma Coast. Two sleeping bags in the sand. And a crime so brutal, it would leave a permanent scar on a small California town.

In August 2004, Lindsay Cutshall and Jason Allen—young, devout, and deeply in love—set out for a weekend getaway. By morning, they were gone, executed while they slept beside the Pacific Ocean. No witnesses. No motive. No answers.

For thirteen years, their case remained unsolved—until a second murder shattered the silence and exposed a killer who had been hiding in plain sight.

This is the haunting story of the Jenner Beach Murders—an investigation marked by dead ends, a community gripped by fear, and families whose grief would change lives in unexpected ways.

From Northern Crimes, this is one of the most chilling cases we’ve ever covered.

In the Pacific Northwest, the landscape can feel endless—thick with forests, mountains, rivers, and fog. But sometimes, it’s not the wilderness that unsettles you. It’s what’s left behind.

In this episode of Northern Crimes, we step into five haunting stories that defy explanation. A group of men vanish into the snow and leave behind a trail of contradictions. A family steps into a stranger’s truck and is never seen again. A nurse is found hogtied and strangled after years of reporting stalkers—but no one can agree if she was murdered or if something even stranger was at play.

These are not tales of legends or folklore. These are real cases—documented, investigated, and unsolved. And they all have one thing in common: the truth remains just out of reach.

Listen now. Some mysteries don’t fade with time—they deepen.
