The Stranger

What the Woods Kept

Whips and Chains
An Arizona trooper checking a darkened big rig on I-10 in 1990 found a naked woman chained inside the sleeper cab — and driver Robert Ben Rhoades calmly insisted it was all a misunderstanding.
The Gold Digger
Retired Austin TV executive Steven Beard called 911 unable to explain why his stomach had 'blown out' as he slept. The shotgun shell at the foot of his bed pointed toward his young wife Celeste — and her friend Tracey Tarlton.
The Beast of Buckland
For two years a predator the papers called the Beast of Buckland stalked the women of Portsmouth after dark. Then 24-year-old barmaid Linda Cook took the short way home — and police fixed on the wrong man.
Are You With Me?
Hours after toasting a real estate deal with a Moscow Mule mixed by his wife Kouri, Eric Richins was found cold on his bedroom floor in Kamas, Utah — no blood, no struggle, and no obvious reason a healthy 39-year-old should be dead.

The Ordinary Boys
Two boys Lisa Sorger had never seen before knocked on the family trailer in Ephrata, Washington, asking if Craig could come out and play. Her autistic thirteen-year-old followed Evan Savoie and Jake Eakin into the drizzle.
