#63: Yosemite National Park Serial Kille...

STEPHANIE SOO
About this episode

Why do so many people go missing in National Parks? Alien conspiracy theory? Government experiments? Or just lost in nature? 



In this case - it’s none of the above. It’s a serial killer that leaves a trail of bloodshed and a decapitated head bobbing in a stream in Yosemite. 


Once they catch the killer that’s when the real mystery begins - wasn’t his little brother a national hero? Didn’t they make TV shows about this family? 


How did one brother become America’s sweetheart and the other America’s heartless serial killer?
