    Introducing Dark Valley

    Introducing Dark Valley

    We are very excited to introduce to our Crawlspace listeners a bonus episode, our new podcast series called Dark Valley! This investigative true-crime series covers America's unknown serial killer, told through the lens of their only surviving victim, Jane Boroski. 
    In Episode 1, Begin At The End, we learn that Jane was seven months pregnant when she was stabbed 27 times by an unknown man. Miraculously, she survived. But, Jane later finds out she is the only survivor of a serial killer who prowled the Connecticut River Valley in the 1980s and killed at least 8 women before her. Now, she's here to speak for the dead.

I don’t get all the bad reviews for this podcast. I think the hosts do a great job at investigating and trying to make sense of this mystery. Really enjoy this podcast and this subject. I find it fascinating and the podcast add to the mystery of the ISGM.
