Our newest episode takes you deep into Anchorage’s Fourth Avenue during the chaotic pipeline boom years — a place where women looked out for each other long before the city realized a serial predator was hunting in their streets.

This is the story told through their experiences, their warnings, and the city they tried to survive in — pieced together through survivor accounts, historical records, and the decades of work that finally brought the truth into the open.

Set against the storm-lashed backdrop of early 1900s Aberdeen, Washington, this narrative traces the rise and ruin of William “Billy” Gohl, a sailor-turned-union leader once branded the “Ghoul of Grays Harbor.” Once feared as a mass murderer blamed for dozens of waterfront deaths, Gohl’s story is reexamined through a century of mythmaking, corruption, and labor strife. Drawing on modern research that redeems his legacy, the essay reveals a man more scapegoat than killer — a fiery advocate for sailors’ rights who became the convenient villain of an unsafe, exploitative age. From the bustling mills of Grays Harbor to the haunted walls of Billy’s Bar & Grill, the story unfolds like a fog lifting over the Pacific, revealing not a monster, but a man — and a community learning to tell its own truth at last.
