In Russia in 1959, 9 hikers didn’t return from their hike.  Their bodies would later be found scattered around the mountain they hiked in various stages of undress.  This along with their horrific injuries would cause more questions than answers.  61 years later we’re still coming up with theories about what happened to them.  While the case is officially closed, true crime enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists will never be satisfied by the final explanation.

Join our Patreon for as little as $3/month to get ad-free episodes and other perks. <<< Christmas is a time to be with loved ones, give and receive gifts, and celebrate all that you have.  It’s a time when the year is coming to an end and soon everyone will be making New Year's resolutions.  All the songs are joyful and uplifting and all the movies are hopeful and full of love. But we’re true crime junkies so we know that that shit isn’t real life and that real life is often terrible.   So, in this time of comfort and joy, we thought our awkward army of 90s loving, true crime addicted listeners might be ok with the cheer-level being taken down a few notches just for a little bit while we talk about some Christmases that were far more horrific than they were merry. And, we’re going to gift you with more than one case, in fact we’re giving you 3!  AND we’re going to switch off reading the cases.  So, Merry Christmas and let’s unwrap your first unfortunate gift.

>>> GET THIS EPISODE AD FREE! Join our Patreon for as little as $3/month to get ad-free episodes and other perks. <<< It was a warm day in Tulsa, Oklahoma on June 7, 2011. A repairman had just walked out of a 32 story apartment building to grab some supplies from his truck. Another man nearby was taking a break from work and had stepped outside for some fresh air. A loud crash broke through the quiet afternoon and both men looked up to see Josh Hilberling falling from the broken window of his 25th floor apartment. He landed on the concrete roof of the 8th floor parking garage. His wife, Amber, 7 months pregnant and still in the apartment, screamed in terror and rushed down the elevator to him, but it was too late. 23-year-old Josh Hilberling was dead. Five years later, serving 25 years for the second degree murder of her husband, tragedy would strike the family again. Did she truly murder Josh, or was it a horrible accident? And what really happened to Amber in that jail cell? Check out our Patreon page and support the show for early access to episodes, ad-free episodes, bonus episodes and much more!
