Vicky Lynn Perkins: The Distance Between

Somewhere between Portland, Oregon… and a remote stretch of desert off Interstate 70 in eastern Utah… a 19-year-old disappears into a gap no one has ever been able to explain. No confirmed route. No confirmed ride. No clear timeline. Just distance. In this solo episode of Dark Dialogue: Rocky Mountain Reckoning, John examines the unsolved 1989 murder of Vicky Lynn Perkins—a young woman living on the margins of stability, last seen in Portland and later found in rural Emery County, Utah. This case exists in the overlap: A high-risk victim moving through interstate environments A body placed along one of the most isolated corridors in the American West And a pattern that suggests something larger… without ever proving it This episode breaks down: Vicky’s victimology and exposure to risk The missing timeline between Oregon and Utah Crime scene realities along I-70 Whether this case requires a serial offender Behavioral comparisons to Clark Perry Baldwin and Scott William Cox And why this case still stands unresolved decades later This is a focused, stripped-down episode—recorded solo—ensuring this case is told, even when schedules don’t align. 🎵 Music Featured in This Episode: “The Hollow Hour” by the JJ Hawk Band Listen and follow: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jjhawkband/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JJHawk-d5k/releases Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/100000106072552/videos/1277208074229533 Official Site: https://hawk-studios.com/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jj.hawk.band 📢 SUPPORT THE SHOW If you’re listening right now: Follow the show so you never miss an episode Leave a rating and review—it helps more than you think Share this episode with someone who cares about these cases For deeper content, behind-the-scenes analysis, and extended case work: 👉 Patreon / Ko-fi / Substack (your links) 🎙️ FOLLOW DARK DIALOGUE Follow the main Dark Dialogue page for updates, new episodes, and case discussions.
