SERIAL KILLER: The Lewis-Clark Valley Mu...

AUDIOCHUCK
About this episode

In the late 70s and early 80s, the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley was rocked by multiple disappearances and homicides. Police at the time thought it was the work of one man, who has remained free. And despite a decades-long investigation, these cases remain unsolved. 

  • If you have any information about the disappearances of Christina White and Steven Pearsall, or the murders of Kristin David, Brandi Miller, and Kristina Nelson, you can contact the Asotin County Sheriff’s Department by calling 509-243-4717.
