Humboldt Missing Five // 220

Between 1993 and 2014, five women with similar appearances and backgrounds vanished under comparably suspicious circumstances in the same small area of California. As an area that is already nicknamed “The Black Hole” for its large number of disappearances, many locals believe that there is a serial killer stalking the area. These are the stories of Jennifer Wilmer, Karen Mitchell, Christine Walters, Sheila Franks, and Danielle Bertolini. Also known, as the Humboldt Missing Five.BONUS EPISODESpatreon.com/goingwestpodcastCASE SOURCES1. Missing Women Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/HUMBOLDTMISSINGWOMEN/?fref=ts2.
