"The Happy Face Killer" Keith Jesperson

Welcome to a new episode, Campers! We have a sorted and chilling tale to tell you!

We’re going back to the 1990s when serial killers were around every corner in the Pacific Northwest. We’re talking about a killer who almost got away with his crimes completely. One crime was even considered solved when a couple had seemingly confessed to the murder of a young girl in Oregon. But he couldn’t leave well enough alone and craved the spotlight. He wanted the world to recognize his existence. So he began to send in letters to newspapers and even a courthouse with details of his crimes and his victims. Those letters earned him the name “The Happy Face Killer” because of the smiley faces he drew as a signature.

It would take one mistake to bring it all crashing down around him.
There are many twists and turns to this story and you won’t want to miss it.
Join us for another twisted tale and be sure to let us know your thoughts on the episode!
