Last week, I started breaking down the case of Warren Forrest. How it’s believed his first victim was Jamie Grissim, how Barbra’s body was found in the silo and how Norma and Suzanne survived similar attacks from a man in a blue van.

With Suzanne’s attack being believed right away, there was a legitimate investigation taking place. Thanks to good police work that recognized the perpetrator might be someone with key access to the parks who drove said blue van, they were given the name Warren Forrest.

Today, I’ll talk about who Warren Forrest was, who his victims are and share even more excruciatingly inept details that place blame for the deaths of at least two of the victims almost squarely on police. I mean, yeah the guy is a serial killer and it’s his actions, but he could have been stopped...Many times.

True crime consumers often feel they’ve ‘heard it all’. Some are drawn to those cases; the Ted Bundys, the Green River Killers, the Jefferey Dahmers. Those who are really into true crime know the smaller, lesser-known cases. They are familiar with the details of the investigation, the victims, and the outcome.

But every once in a while, a huge case gets overshadowed by those more familiar ones. Cases get lumped together. A known killer gets the blame, and an actual killer remains on the loose. Or the idea of a serial killer is just too outrageous, so it’s ignored by authorities. Today’s case is one such story.

I had heard the name Warren Forrest before Carolyn Ossorio reached out to me, and the case was on our “to get to” list. I knew some older guy had been charged for a very old murder, thanks to new DNA developments had no idea the depth of the story, nor the extent of violence his reach had, and how many victims were lost to time, incompetence, and lack of care. Today, with the help of Carolyn and her producer Branden Morgan of the "Stolen Voices of Dole Valley" podcast, I’ll give you a rundown of the victims and survivors of Warren Forrest. We’ll also discuss their podcast because a 9-episode series is gonna cover a hell of a lot more than this one.
