Tis the season to be a murderer, FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!

That's right! Christmas is just around the corner, so let's strike some fear into your heart with this collection of yuletide murders.

This week, we are discussing the Stayner brothers, Cary and Steven. Steven was kidnapped and molested for 7 years before he finally broke free from his captor. All in the name of rescuing a fellow captive. Steven's brother Cary, however, took a very different route in life.

There are plenty of things to fear in the wilderness: bears, mountain lions, falling from cliffs, fires, perhaps even alien abductions (if you believe in that sort of thing).

But if you’re like Jon, perhaps you never considered the truly terrifying possibility that the monster in the woods isn’t a monster at all. On this week’s Saturday Morning Serial, we talk about several different cases with the same theme; people enjoying the great outdoors, murdered in cold blood. You’ll never want to leave your house again (which is fine, because it’s cold and there’s no internet out there).

Cyntoia Brown was just 16 years old when she was picked up and turned into a child of sex trafficking. She was brutally beat, raped, starved, and forced to perform sex for any man who paid her captor. It wasn't long before she ended up turning on these men. She shot and murdered one of her attackers. Unfortunately, she was tried as an adult and sentenced to life in prison. After a recent outcry on social media, the Tennesee Governor commuted her sentence. Now on the outside, Cyntoia has published a book about her experience called "Free Cyntoia" and will join us after the show to talk about more details.

This week, we discuss serial killer Glen Rogers also known as the Casanova Killer or the Cross-Country Killer. Make sure to stick around for the crazy twist at the end!

Our friend Jason Jensen from the Utah Cold Case Coalition joins us to discuss the case of an 18-year-old murder victim. We are so close to figuring out who was responsible. We just need the last couple missing pieces. Does anyone know Tree or Squirrel?

After a woman's skeleton is discovered jammed inside a tree, police do everything in their power to identify her. However, due to poor records keeping and the violence of World War 2, her identity remains a mystery to this day. Could she have been a Nazi spy? Or perhaps a victim of dark magic

This week we discuss the story of a lesser-known Serial Killer who brought chaos down on the small town of Texarkana in 1946.

This week, in honor of Salt Lake City Police Department's Forensic Science Week, we will discuss how a hot dog napkin closed a 26-year-old cold case murder.
