Episode 9 - After 50 years, the cold case unit is still adding details to the butcher paper roll that Detective Mike Davidson tacked on the wall of the Clark County Sheriff's Office back in 1976. A timeline of crimes, Warren Forrest has both been convicted of and suspected of. Including the disappearance of Diane Gilchrist and the murder of Gloria Knudson. Both young women matched his type and modus operandi. Could forensic sweepings collected back in the 1970s from Warren Forrest's van connect him to more cases? And possibly another murder charge? Or push him into a confession. After more than five decades, the eyewitness who claimed to have seen a woman tied to a tree in Dole Valley around the time Jamie Grissim went missing has been found. Could he help a K9 team narrow down the search for Jamie Grissim if her remains are in Dole Valley? 

Hitchhiking was a rite of passage for teens in the 70s in the beautiful Pacific Northwest – until a charming predator turned their freedom into fear. Some managed to escape him, but police believe this good-looking stranger was responsible for the kidnapping, torture and murders of many more young women. The grieving families of his victims refuse to let their daughters and sisters be forgotten, and those who survived their run-ins with this killer lived to tell their own tales. Together, their stories paint a chilling portrait of a killer who hid in plain sight. This is the chronicle of lost girls, found strength, and the fight to shine new light on all-but-forgotten cases. Stolen Voices of Dole Valley is the story of a serial killer you’ve never heard of -- and the victims and survivors you’ll never forget.
