The Wolf Lodge Murders Shadows in the Pines — Episode 2 In May of 2005, along a quiet stretch of land just east of Coeur d’Alene, a home sat within sight of Interstate 90 — visible to thousands of passing drivers every single day. One of them stopped. In this episode, we step inside the Groene family home at Wolf Lodge — not as a crime scene, but as a place that was once full of life. A mother. A fiancé. Three children. A routin...

PART 1 — THE PREDATOR THE SYSTEM RELEASED Before the headlines… before the manhunt… before the name became synonymous with one of the most horrifying crimes in Idaho history… there was a system that saw him coming—and still let him go. In this opening chapter of our multi-part series, we step away from the crime itself and focus on the man at the center of it all: Joseph Edward Duncan III. This isn’t just a backstory. It’s a doc...

Hey everyone, We wanted to take a moment to give you a real update on what’s been going on behind the scenes with the show this week. Unfortunately, we ran into some pretty significant technical issues during production—specifically with audio quality in Part 1. After reviewing everything closely, we made the call that it just doesn’t meet the standard we hold ourselves to for Shadows in the Pines. And rather than push something ...

Shadows in the Pines — Willie Pickton Part Three: The Women By 1999, this was no longer rumor. The names were stacking. Women from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside were disappearing within a compressed window of time. Families were reporting them missing. Friends were organizing their own searches.

Known as The Gentleman Bootlegger, Olmstead built a sprawling Prohibition-era liquor empire across the Pacific Northwest while presenting himself as a polite, soft-spoken family man. He bribed officials, coordinated fleets of boats and trucks, and moved massive quantities of alcohol through Washington state — all while avo...

In Part One of our three-part series on Israel Keyes, we examine how preparation became a way of life. Long before any known murder, Israel Keyes was laying groundwork — not impulsively, not emotionally, but deliberately. Raised in extreme isolation and shaped by rigid authority, he learned early how to exist without drawing attention, how to test boundaries quietly, and how to move through the world without leaving impressions. ...

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
