The Mandan Murders (9): Murder and Justice in North Dakota

Episode 9 gives new perspective on the 2019 RJR murders in Mandan, North Dakota, as Chad Isaak’s mother and two of his sisters speak publicly for the first time in four and a half years. Who was Isaak as a child, as a man, and what warning signs did his family see? The episode also asks what Isaak’s actions at RJR reveal about his intended target, while a sheriff’s deputy recalls two encounters with him leading up to the murders. These rare accounts add depth to the story of a convicted killer and the search for justice in North Dakota.
