The Rot Beneath WV

The Black Bear Butcher: Christian Nielsen and the Inn of Death


Listen Later

He was quiet. A line cook. A guy who kept to himself.

Then, over Labor Day weekend in 2006, Christian Nielsen murdered four people in rural Maine—including his landlord, her daughter, her boyfriend, and her friend. What followed was a gruesome scene straight out of a nightmare: dismemberment, arson, and a calm confession that left everyone asking—why?

In this episode, we unravel:

  • Who Christian Nielsen really was behind the quiet mask
  • The haunting timeline of a four-day killing spree
  • How a small town missed the signs until it was too late
  • What happens when law enforcement is unprepared for evil this personal

This isn’t about headlines. This is about a home turned into a slaughterhouse, a system that couldn’t see the storm coming, and a killer who said it all felt “natural.”

Rot Beneath WV doesn’t just talk about monsters. We talk about what lets them exist right next door.
