The Pacific Northwest is a place of mist, mystery, and myth—but beneath the towering trees and winding trails lie stories that never made it home.

In this cinematic and chilling episode, host Tanner Hoskins walks you through three of the most haunting unsolved disappearances and murders in Pacific Northwest history:

🔹 The Cowden Family Disappearance – A quiet family camping trip in 1974 ends in tragedy when an entire family vanishes from a serene Oregon campsite, only to be discovered months later in a hidden cave.

🔹 The Tube Sock Murders – Two couples. Two crimes. One chilling signature: a white tube sock tied postmortem. Was a serial predator stalking the Washington woods in the mid-80s?

🔹 The Lewis–Clark Valley Murders – A trail of abductions and killings across Idaho and Washington, all tied to a single community theater and a suspect who still walks free.

With immersive sound design, emotional storytelling, and years of investigative insight, this episode will leave you questioning just how close darkness really is — and how silence in the forest isn’t always empty.
