About this episode

On May 26th, 1999 nineteen-year-old Katie Poirier disappeared from a Moose Lake, Minnesota convenience store, where she was working a late-night shift alone. An employee at the Minnesota Veterans Home called the police to report his suspicions about his coworker- Donald Hutchinson. Donald was arrested and eventually confessed to kidnapping and murdering Katie. The police learned that Donald Hutchinson was really Donald Blom, and Katie wasn’t his only victim.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the crimes committed by Donald Blom. Donald had a long history of sexual violence towards young women and may have been involved in two other murders. For years, Donald toyed with police, offering to tell them about other murders that he committed. But, each time, he would decline to admit to anything. There's no doubt that Blom was a vicious predator but just exactly how many people did he murder?
