Ep 209The Montana State Park Killer // 210

E

“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.BONUS EPISODESpatreon.com/goingwestpodcastCASE SOURCES1.

Ep 208The Evansdale Murders // 209

E

In July of 2012, two girls disappeared in Evansdale, Iowa while riding their bikes. Police set out looking for them right away, but despite an exhaustive search, receiving tips from locals, and finding CCTV footage of the girls, all the investigation turned up was their bikes. Five months later, both of their bodies were found, but was this the work of a serial killer, or someone else hiding right under everyone's noses? This the story of Lyric Cook and Elizabeth Collins, also known as the Evansdale Murders.BONUS EPISODEpatreon.com/goingwestpodcastCASE SOURCES 1.

In the summer of 1980, a beloved 30-year-old schoolteacher, wife, and mother was murdered with an ax in her Texas home while her husband was away on a business trip. This killing and the subsequent discovery of her killer were so shocking that both Hulu and HBO Max have shows based on the case, though the belief of what really happened that fateful day remains divided.

In May of 2022, a 25-year-old elite bicyclist traveled to Austin, Texas for a race. But after hanging out with another cyclist and previous romantic interest of hers, she was murdered.
