Unsolved: The Investor Massacre


Listen Later

On September 5, 1982, in Craig, Alaska, the commercial fishing vessel Investor became the scene of a chilling massacre, claiming the lives of eight individuals, including owner Mark Coulthurst, his wife Irene, their two children Kimberly and Johnny, and crew members Dean Moon, Michael Stewart, Chris Heyman, and Jerome Keown.


As the boat was set ablaze to destroy evidence, a sinister mystery unfolded, leaving only devastation in its wake. One man was arrested, yet justice has remained out of reach, as no one has ever been convicted for this horrific crime.
