A good-looking stranger was on the prowl in the early 70s. His targets were young women, most of them in their teens. While he was suspected in several missing persons and murder cases, his crimes went underreported and underprosecuted. Miraculously, some women escaped and lived to describe the violence he put them through. These survivors now speak on behalf of all the lost sisters and daughters who were silenced by a serial killer with a knack for escaping justice. Stolen Voices of Dole Valley, from Pie in the Sky Media, KSL Podcasts, and Lemonada Media -- out Aug. 19.

Episode 1 - Sixteen-year-old Jamie Grissim leaves her foster home on a bitterly cold morning in rural Washington state. Before walking out the door, Jamie tells her sister, Starr, she’ll be home early because it’s going to be a short school day. But Jamie never made it back home. Despite being reported missing to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office that night, December 7, 1971, law enforcement didn’t go looking for her. From the moment she disappeared Jamie is considered a runaway, despite evidence to the contrary.

Episode 2 - The body of a missing young woman is found at the bottom of an abandoned silo at the old Grist Mill in Clark County. 18-year-old Barbara Derry had been killed, stabbed in the heart. The investigation of her murder wouldn’t lead to an arrest. The following spring, five months after Jamie Grissim’s disappearance, the still missing teenager’s student ID card and other belongings are found on the side of the road in Dole Valley, roughly 30 minutes away from her home.

Episode 3 - A 15-year-old girl is approached by a good looking stranger who offers her a ride. Norma Jean Countryman would get in the van, but instead of taking her home, the stranger drove her to the nearby woods in a Clark County park. He tied her between two trees, blindfolded her, punched her in the face, and left. Norma chewed through her bonds to escape before he came back. But when she recounted her harrowing night of survival and gave a detailed description of her abductor and his blue van, she was not believed.

Episode 4 - Because investigators didn’t believe Norma, the charismatic stranger is free to kidnap another young woman. He took “Susan” to another Clark County park, sexually assaulted her, tortured her and left her for dead in a shallow grave. She crawled to a roadside and flagged down a car for help. Unlike with Norma, investigators believed Susan. The good-looking stranger is arrested. About a week later, the bodies of two unidentified women are found in Dole Valley just a few feet from each other. Their remains are near where the student ID and purse of Jamie Grissom were found.

Episode 5 - In a shocking turn of events, Warren Forrest isn’t charged for his crimes against Norma, and he is found not guilty by reason of insanity for his crimes against "Susan." Forrest is committed to Western State Mental Hospital in January 1975. A few weeks after his arrival, a fellow Western State patient, Karen Wiles, is found murdered nearby. Despite her murder matching Warren Forrest’s MO, he isn't investigated as a person of interest.

Episode 6 - After just a couple of years at Western State, Warren Forrest convinces hospital employees to sign off on his release, but a judge must approve. While Forrest waits for the judge, the body of another missing young woman named Krista Blake is found. She was recovered just feet from where Norma Jean Countryman was hog tied. The detective investigating Krista’s homicide is the first person to see the pattern of missing and murdered young women in Clark County: could Warren Forrest be a serial killer?
