    Sep 16 2024
    In August of 1982, three generations of one family went on a two week vacation into the mountains of British Columbia. Over a year later, David Shearing was arrested and went to trial for all six of their murders. But as time went on, the details of what happened that night and in the days that followed emerged, and were more horrific than anyone could have anticipated.

I Love These Ladies

All of their episodes are a delight. Well researched and presented in a quirky manner sure to keep your attention no matter how old you are. They've been criticized for swearing, but I enjoy their candid nature. It might take 3-4 episodes before you find yourself wondering what else there recorded. Sadly I'm all caught up and have to wait for new releases.
I highly recommend you start with their TRAIL TALES, listener submissions. 💜💙💚❤💛

Great Stories, Well Written

I found this podcast last fall and have finally made it through all their episodes. I love the variety of stories they tell, from survival, to murder, to accidents and more. National Parks have so many stories to them and it is great to be able to hear a variety of stories from parks all over the world. The hosts do a great job of researching the topics and presenting it in a clear logical way. I also like that they state their sources so I can add more books to my audible wish list.
