Death Mysteries

Tunnel 13 on the Siskiyou Pass bordering California and Oregon was the scene of the last great train robbery of the old west and the first use of forensic evidence to link killers to their crimes in the United States. This fascinating case has twists and turns and surprises us all in the end.

I discuss a few murder cases from each month up to the date of this podcast. I tried to choose a sampling of the violence in Portland to paint a picture of what is occurring in the city. I couldn't cover all 65 cases but I may try to get more out there in a future episode? Please rate and review Death Mysteries on Spotify, iTunes, and other platforms.

My friend Sabine joins me for this episode all the way fro the Netherlands. We discuss the balance of the cold cases we didn't cover in part 1. Many gang related shootings as well as other abnormal murders. It's important to note that this is a small percentage of the cold cases in Portland and around the rest of the country. Most get little to no attention and are all but forgotten.

ANONYMOUS PHONE CALLS Mellie joins me as a co-host as we discuss Portland, Oregon. Over half of Oregon's residents live in the greater Portland area and the crime rates reflect this fact. This is the first of our 3 part expose on cold cases and current crimes from this beautiful but troubled metropolis. I apologize for the break over the past few months. Work and life has been too busy to compose podcast episodes but we will follow up with more episodes rapidly over the coming months.

Never convicted of a single murder Bobby Jack Fowler died in prison. Evidence suggests he was responsible for 7-40 murders. DNA may uncover his connection to more murders in the near future. The RCMP of Canada have conclusively linked him to one of the Highway of Tears murders through DNA but suggest he isn't the only murderer responsible for that string of murders and disappearances. Bobby Jack likely killed at least 4 young girls in Oregon in the mid 1990s.
