This episode of Northern Crimes explores five harrowing true crime stories from the Pacific Northwest — cases that reveal how jealousy, obsession, and vengeance can erupt into shocking violence. From the murder of 18-year-old Rachel Burkheimer in Washington, to the calculated brutality of Douglas Garland in Alberta, and the haunting disappearance of Jermain Charlo in Montana, each story exposes a different face of evil. Also featured are the disturbing crimes of Paris Laroche and the horrifying murders committed by Oregon’s Ward Weaver. Set against the backdrop of snow-covered forests and quiet towns, these stories remind us that even the most peaceful landscapes can hide unimaginable darkness.
