Have you ever wondered what drives a person to commit gruesome crimes? This week, we’re pulling back the curtain on the chilling case of the Hitchhiker Slayers, a series of unsolved murders that rocked California in the late 70s. We’re tracing the paths of three innocent victims - Jackie Rook, Mary Ann Saris, and Patty Leany - university students who vanished under the veil of hitchhiking. As we stitch together the pieces of their tragic disappearances and the shocking discoveries that followed, you'll hear about the pivotal fingerprint that finally cracked their cases wide open.

We then switch lanes and shed light on a figure known to many as Thor Wald Nis Christiansen, the man who masterminded these heinous acts. Walk with us through the tumultuous journey of his life - from a troubled childhood to his descent into substance abuse. While unraveling the layered and dark duality of his personality, you’ll learn about the abnormal behavior that led to his capture, the irrefutable evidence linking him to the crimes, and the community's unwavering quest for justice. Hear from those who were close to Thor and gain an understanding of his psyche through the lens of Dr. John Stolberg, shedding light on this grim chapter of history. We promise you a riveting tale, filled with darkness, justice, and unexpected turns.
