  1. EPISODE 1

    A break in on Walloon Lake

    Early in the morning on Sept. 26, 2024, a man in a Halloween clown mask broke into the cabin of a single, vacationing woman in Northern Michigan.  He bagged all her shoes. Watched her sleep for an unknown period of time. And then crept to the foot of her bed, where he gently lifted the covers and massaged her feet. Night after night, cabin after cabin, the man prowled the quiet vacationland of Walloon Lake.  It started with break ins and foot rubs. And soon, it escalated, with murders stretching from Petoskey to Traverse City. This is part one of a new season of Crime Adjacent: the untold story of the Michigan Nightstalker.

    Clowns and crime: Why do they scare us?

    Clowns are supposed to be happy, entertaining figures. And yet, they factor into true crime cases all the time -- from bank robberies to burglaries to serial killers. As more break ins and foot rubs were tied to this case, we take a look at why clowns have such a fascinating -- and terrifying -- hold on us.  And we also discover something shocking inside the cabin of one victim. Someone had recorded the whole thing. This is part two of the 8th season of Crime Adjacent: the untold story of the Michigan Nightstalker.

    Hidden cameras, private moments

    Have you ever stayed in a short-term rental while on vacation and wondered: Is that fire alarm real? Or is there a camera in there? Because that's exactly what happened in this case. And it led to a series of big breaks. When hidden spy cameras were found inside the cabin, investigators narrowed on a suspect quickly. This sounded exactly like something one man in particular would do -- a man with a history of peeping and public exposure. It appeared as if this case would be solved in mere hours.  And then investigators discovered something else about these cameras, something that would turn this case upside down and begin to answer questions about why the small town began experiencing big crimes.

  4. EPISODE 4

    A prelude to murder

    Beginning in January 2024, the town began experiencing an odd but noticeable rash in crime.  The high school science teacher suddenly began sending people nudes. The school principal was arrested for embezzlement. The bookstore owner also sent nudes. A cafe worker was charged with felony assault for beating up a high school football player. The town's biggest problems were bar fights and traffic tickets. But now, everyday citizens suddenly went on unusual crime sprees. And one person, who moved to town in January, long before the clown creeping even began, appeared on the periphery in each case. Over and over again, this one name in particular popped up. And it popped up again in the clown creeper cases in September 2024, when he was arrested right outside the cabin of Claire Gasley.

  5. EPISODE 5

    A murder in Traverse City

    On Sept. 3, 2024, Realtor Yuki Sugita was hosting an open house in a rural neighborhood on the outskirts of Traverse City. Sometime between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m., someone showed up at this house and discovered Sugita alone. No neighbors. No buyers. Just her and an empty, quiet home. Sugita was tied up and stabbed to death, only to be discovered by potential buyers out shopping for homes that afternoon.  While the case looked, on the surface, so different and far away and unrelated to the clown creeper cases on Walloon Lake -- a full 60 miles away -- Sheriff Press soon discovered something that would lead her to a horrifying conclusion. The clown creeper was more than capable of murder. This is part five of the 8th season of Crime Adjacent: the untold story of the Michigan Nightstalker.

  6. SEASON 8 TRAILER

    Coming soon: The Michigan Nightstalker

    On a quiet lake in Northern Michigan, in the early morning hours of September 26, 2024, a man in a long tan coat and a Halloween clown mask broke into the cabin of a single, vacationing woman named Claire Gasley. First, he bagged up her shoes and socks. Then, he crept to the foot of her bed, slipped his hands under the covers, and … massaged her feet. Michigan is practically a breeding ground for serial killers. The Ypsilanti Ripper. The Sunday Morning Slasher. The Oakland County Child Killer. The North Fox Island pedophile ring—a dark foreshadowing of Epstein’s island. But nothing compares to what happened on Walloon Lake in September 2024. While the locals called him the Walloon Lake Clown Creeper, the man in a clown mask with an incurable foot fetish soon had a different name that shocked the entire state — because it all went from creepy to deadly in the span of days, with murders stretching from Petoskey to Traverse City and beyond. This is the story of the Michigan Nightstalker.  And this season of Crime Adjacent explores how a rookie sheriff’s deputy uncovered a deadly conspiracy that turned this vacation wonderland upside down. Imagine what happens if your favorite character from your favorite true crime, mystery thriller leaps off the page and starts a podcast.
