Show Notes
In this episode we explore the terrifying mystery known as the Great Basin Murders — a series of killings connected to isolated highways stretching across Nevada, Utah, Wyoming and Idaho during the 1980s and 1990s.
Women began disappearing along remote truck routes and desert highways before their bodies were discovered in abandoned terrain miles away from civilisation. Investigators initially believed a single serial killer was responsible, but over time the case became far more complicated.
The Great Basin Murders remain one of the most chilling unsolved serial killer mysteries in American true crime history. This episode contains discussions of murder, violence, sexual assault and trauma that some listeners may find distressing. Listener discretion is advised. #GreatBasinMurders #TrueCrimePodcast #SerialKillers #UnsolvedMurders #ColdCase #HighwayKillers #AmericanTrueCrime #CrimePodcast #TruckStopKillers #DarkHistory #UnsolvedMysteries
