The Lewis- Clark Valley Murders Part 2

The Lewis-Clark Valley was already living with unanswered questions after the disappearance of Christina White and the murder of Kristin David. Then, in the span of just a few months, the investigation took a devastating turn. In Part Two of our deep dive into the Lewis-Clark Valley murders, we examine the disappearance of two-year-old Ricky Barnett, the vanishing of Kristina “Brandy” Miller and Kristina Nelson after a short walk to a neighborhood grocery store, and the mysterious disappearance of Civic Theatre volunteer Steven Pearsall later that very same night. As investigators struggle to make sense of an ever-growing list of missing people, unsettling similarities begin to emerge, raising a question that will haunt the Lewis-Clark Valley for decades: are these isolated tragedies, or are detectives witnessing a single investigation unfold before them?

The Lewis-Clark Valley Murders Part 1

Mini Pines - Bigfoot Of The Selkirks

The Selkirk Mountains are among the oldest and most remote wilderness areas in the Pacific Northwest—and for generations, they’ve been home to stories of something that walks upright through the trees. In this episode of Mini Pines, we explore documented Bigfoot encounters, Indigenous traditions, eyewitness accounts, mysterious tracks, and why the Selkirks have quietly become one of North America’s most active Sasquatch regions. From a hunter’s unforgettable encounter near Sasquatch Lake to modern reports from the Idaho Panhandle, we separate documented history from legend and ask why these mountains continue to produce the same stories decade after decade. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, the Selkirks are a place that has a way of making you look twice into the tree line.

Mini Pines - The Witches Of Rathdrum

The Witches of Rathdrum | Mini Pines For decades, people across North Idaho whispered about a lonely stretch of Highway 41 where hooded figures formed human chains across the road, bonfires flickered deep in the trees, and anyone brave enough to drive through after dark risked encountering something they couldn’t explain. But where did those stories come from? In this episode of Mini Pines, we separate folklore from fact as we trace the origins of the infamous Witches of Rathdrum legend. What begins with a single mutilated cow and a wave of nationwide Satanic panic soon collides with the tragic disappearance and murders of Ron and Rita Marcussen, a misunderstood religious community, and decades of fear that transformed rumor into one of the Pacific Northwest’s most enduring legends. Sometimes the truth is stranger than the myth. And sometimes the myth makes it harder to see the truth at all. 🎙️ New episodes of Shadows in the Pines premiere every Sunday at 8:00 PM Pacific.
