Thurston County Cat Killer

"There is a strong possibility the person who did this continues to work and/or live in our community. He likely has familiarity with the area in which the victims were attacked."Between August 2020 and April 2021, four brutal knife attacks were reported in the Midtown neighborhood of Little Rock, Arkansas. The first two victims, Larry McChristian & Jeff Welch, were each murdered in residential neighborhoods in August and September of 2020. The third and fourth victims, Debra Walker and Marlon Franklin, were attacked separately in April of 2021. Only one, Debra Walker, survived, but was treated for more than fifteen stab wounds after being left for dead.Just weeks after the final two knife attacks, police in Little Rock - aided by the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Team - came forward with information pointing to a burgeoning serial killer. However, in the year-and-a-half since, this aspiring killer has gone quiet, and it remains undetermined whether he has moved on to new territory or is simply biding his time...

"You're being impersonated by the other voice."On the evening of 8 February 1993, Gary Sudbrink was at his parent's home in New York, located on Long Island. The 27-year-old Air Force Captain had decided to make a surprise trip to visit his family and friends, and hadn't really told anyone of his intention before flying back home from Texas. However, late that evening, Gary's parents would receive a series of strange phone calls addressed directly to Gary. The caller on the other end spoke in a strange, mechanical voice and made a number of weird statements, alluding to Gary being impersonated by someone else...

"Whoever did this couldn't be human."On the afternoon of 9 July 1995, the four-year-old daughter of Mary Anne Holmes ran to a neighbor's home in the small town of Thatcher, Arizona. Naked and bound with rope, the girl had been laying next to her mother's bloody body for several hours, questioning why she couldn't wake her up. Hours beforehand, an unknown killer had entered in through the unlocked back door of Mary Anne's home and subjected the single mother of two to a heinous assault that lasted hours. Decades later, their identity remains unknown...Research, writing, hosting, and production by Micheal Whelan"Unresolved" themes composed by Ailsa TravesLearn more about this podcast at http://unresolved.meIf you would like to support this podcast and others, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.

"Are you dead yet?"On 13 May 2004, four men drove out from Fairbanks, Alaska along the Steese Highway. High on methamphetamine, three of the men had been awake for days and were delirious by the time they pulled off onto a private road blocked by a no-trespassing sign. There, one of the men, Jason Fisher, murdered another, David Mason, in cold blood. The other two, Avi Keys and Josiah Thurneau, would help Fisher dismember and dispose of their friend's body. Eventually, after getting into some trouble for additional crimes, police in Alaska would begin to circle Jason Fisher for the unsolved murder. But by the time they had enough evidence to convict, one of their possible witnesses, Avi Keys, had vanished...Researched & written by Bethany BransonHosted & produced by Micheal WhelanOriginal music created by Micheal Whelan through Amper Music"Unresolved" themes composed by Ailsa TravesLearn more about this podcast at http://unresolved.meIf you would like to support this podcast and others, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.

"Fingertips cut off, face smashed in - whoever did it, there certainly was a violent rage."In the early morning hours of 26 August 2001, Loni Kai was seen walking through the streets of Hillsboro, Oregon. Having gone out earlier that evening, Loni was attempting to hitch a ride back to her home along SW Cornelius Pass Road. Just a few hours later, Loni's body was found in an overgrown field miles away, near the 27000 block of SW Farmington Road. Whoever had killed her had done so incredibly brutally and then quickly disposed of her body, likely with the help of someone else. Despite not naming any suspects publicly, detectives believe that Loni was killed because of her gender identity, making her the victim of a still-unsolved hate crime...Researched, written, hosted, and produced by Micheal WhelanOriginal music created by Micheal Whelan through Amper Music"Unresolved" themes composed by Ailsa TravesLearn more about this podcast at http://unresolved.meIf you would like to support this podcast and others, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.

"We found drag marks and blood spatters leading from the highway to the trees. It looks like someone just drove up, dragged the body out of the car, dumped it and then drove away."In June of 1982, the body of 21-year-old Marty Shook was discovered in Daniel's Canyon, a mountain pass near Heber City, Utah. He had been shot once in the back of the head with a .38-caliber handgun, but most shockingly, had been castrated postmortem by his killer, with Wasatch County Sheriff's Det. Stevan Ridge describing the victim as "really carved up." Over the next several years, investigators would struggle to identify the killer(s) of Marty Shook, who had only been hitchhiking for two days before the discovery of his nude body. However, in 1988, following the submission of Marty's case into VICAP (Violent Criminal Apprehension Program), analysts discovered that he may have just been one victim of a sadistic serial killer...
