PNW Haunts & Homicides PNW H&H

On September 27th, 2006, the tranquility of a typical school day was shattered by the arrival of a man in his 50s, armed and filled with dark intentions. This is the heart-wrenching story of the 2006 Platte Canyon High School hostage crisis in Bailey, Colorado. We unravel the chilling events that unfolded that fateful day, from the cryptic surveillance footage to the terrifying moments inside Room 206. As the gunman's sinister plan unfolded, students and staff found themselves thrust into a nightmare they could never have imagined.

We explore the heroic efforts of law enforcement and the harrowing ordeal endured by the hostages, including the tragic story of Emily Keyes, whose life was cut short in a moment of senseless violence. Despite the horrors they faced, the resilience of the small, tight-knit rural community shines through, exemplified by the grace and compassion of Emily's family in the face of unimaginable loss.

Through firsthand accounts, expert analysis, and insights into the aftermath of the crisis, we uncover the complex layers of this tragedy. From the swift response of law enforcement to the enduring impact on school safety measures, this episode offers a comprehensive look at a dark chapter in Colorado's history. With the benefit of hindsight, we reflect on the events of that fateful day, we honor the memory of Emily Keyes and all those affected by the violence, celebrate the resilience of survivors, and explore the enduring legacy of the Platte Canyon hostage crisis.

In an area known for its natural beauty lies a darker underbelly, we delve into the chilling mysteries lurking beneath the serene landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. It’s a place where isolated roads and dense forests have provided the perfect cover for notorious serial killers like the Green River Killer.
Step into the shadows of the Pacific Northwest's serene landscapes as we unravel the enigmatic tale of Misty Copsey's haunting disappearance. Amidst the region's breathtaking beauty lies a sinister undercurrent of crime, where notorious serial killers like the Green River Killer once roamed freely.

In this gripping episode, we delve deep into Misty's story, beginning with her inexplicable vanishing from the Washington State Fair in Puyallup, 1992. Despite her mother's relentless search efforts and troubling connections to known predators, Misty's case was dismissed as a mere runaway.

As we peel back the layers of this perplexing mystery, we encounter eerie parallels to other unsolved disappearances in the area and disturbing suspicions that Misty may have fallen victim to something far more sinister. With each revelation, we edge closer to uncovering the truth behind Misty's fate and bringing justice to her name. Journey through the shadows of the Pacific Northwest as we shine a light on Misty Copsey's baffling disappearance and strive to unravel the chilling secrets that have haunted her story for decades.

Ever wandered through the misty, evergreen expanses of the Pacific Northwest and felt a shiver down your spine? Embark on a chilling exploration into the haunting landscapes, where beauty intertwines with a history of darkness. We take you from the haunting beauty of the region’s deep forests to the bustling excitement of the Washington State Fair. These tales traverse the eerie forests, dig into the sinister past of serial killers, and reflect on the powerful transformations from deep-set historical trauma to triumphant community celebrations. It's not all macabre, ghostly tales some are of heartwarming successes, like Larry Ball's rise from usher to burger magnate at the Washington State Fair.

But as the laughter of the carnival fades, we'll delve into the sobering history of the fairgrounds in Puyallup as Camp Harmony, an internment camp for Japanese Americans during World War II, and the tragic irony of its name. We’ll contemplate the profound impact art and memorials have in preserving our collective memory in relation to the Tsutakawa Memorial Gates. As we navigate these heavier topics, we're not forgetting to sprinkle in the lighter side of life with a few laughs and the promise of more spine-tingling content to come.

As night falls on Washington State in the Puyallup valley, we share the chilling, unsolved mystery of Misty Copsey's disappearance, a stark reminder of the shadows that lurk in our own backyards. This week as we interpret the Three of Swords in our tarot reading, we reflect on the insights into the chaos of unsolved crimes and the search for clarity in the midst of it all.

Because we believe in balancing the eerie with the endearing, before we say our goodbyes, we can't resist a little levity and some playful banter about our ever-growing collection of creepy people named – all things – Caitlyn. Of course, we’ll finish the episode off as always with a promise of more creepy-ass content in the next episode. So, light a candle or pour yourself some wine, grab your headphones, and maybe even a Caitlyn (or two), and let's indulge in the macabre and the mysterious together. In a place where beauty and horror intertwine every story leaves a mark.
