Paul Hutchinson seemed like a regular Montanan—an ex-Marine, a fisheries biologist, a father, and a diehard turkey hunter. But behind that facade lurked a predator, hiding in plain sight. Nearly three decades after the brutal rape and murder of 15-year-old Danni Houchins, investigators uncovered the chilling truth: Hutchinson was her killer. His sudden suicide closed the case but opened a darker question—was Danni his only victim, or did Hutchinson use his hunting trips across America as cover for other crimes? In this episode of Blood Trails, host Jordan Sillars explores the disturbing possibility that a monster might be hiding in the hearts of the family, friends, and hunting partners we think we know best.
