    249: Murder of Six. Wells Gray Provincial Park. Part 1.
    Sep 9 2024
    In August of 1982, three generations of one family went on a two week vacation into the mountains of British Columbia. When they failed to return, the community rallied to find them. What began as a missing persons case turned into the grisly discovery of human remains. Exactly what happened to the Bentley and Johnson families was a mystery for months, until the only person left alive involved in the tragedy began to reveal the truth.

    When a fire broke out in Helena National Forest, the newly established Smokejumpers crew was sent to manage it. The fire proved to be larger and more dangerous than anyone could have predicted and when the winds changed, these men found themselves fighting for their lives. Many lives were lost and to this day it remains as one of the worst tragedies in wildland history.

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.
