In the late 90’s, residents of San Luis Obispo were concerned that a serial killer may be on the loose following the disappearance of two Cal Poly Tech students within a two year span, followed by yet another bright young woman abducted on her way to study at Cal.
A massive police effort would soon bring to light a separate killer than that of the original, highly publicized Kristin Smart case. This all thanks to the work of a parole officer whom thought to question a recently released inmate he referenced as being short and stocky, yet agile.
Mr. Krebs.

Dark Topic Cold.
May 10th 1973. A masked man brandishing a pistol and a rifle, enters the CIBC (Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce) in downtown Kenora, Ontario. A dead man’s switch that looks more like a duck whistle, is clenched between his teeth. The switch is connected to a bag slung over his shoulder which he claims to contain a bomb. Everybody better behave, or be blown to smithereens.

This ep starts off a little odd for DT. I had a loss in my family that I shouldn't speak publicly about yet so I cut it. Also, this is a previously released on Patreon, but unreleased public ep of DT. Thanks for understanding. Although, this is confusing no doubt.

A young woman attempting to walk her dog through a nature park is accosted by a would be rapist who jumps out from behind a van in the secluded spots parking area.

David Shearing crept through the darkness of the old prison camp, to the fire-lit campsite of two grandparents, two parents, and two children. When the father of the girls that Shearing had come to see, got up to meet the approaching shadow - two hands gripping a .22 pump action rifle made this family camping trip all about one.
