Going West: True Crime

The Montana State Park Killer // 210


Listen Later

“Is this Susie’s Mom?”

 “Yes it is.”

 “Well I’m the guy that took her from you.”

This was the type of taunting phone call received by the mother of a young girl kidnapped at their Montana campsite. The search for her abductor led the FBI to a vicious serial killer, and began the process of creating psychological profiles in order to catch predators. These are the cases of Susie Jaegar, Bernie Poelman, Sandra Smallegan, and Michael Raney, and the story of David Meirhofer, also known as the Montana State Park Killer.
