What Happens In The Woods

17/01/2025

Welcome to another new episode! This week, we discuss a case that could easily define the term “legacy”. When 9 year old Amber Hagerman was abducted and murdered, no one could have imagined just how the world would be changed because of the crime.
Amber is remembered by friends and family as a bright, kind and energetic young girl. But for the United States and in some way, many other countries across the globe, her legacy lives on in the AMBER Alert system. Over one thousand children have been saved from abduction and returned to their families because of this system.
Join us as we discuss this precious little girl and how she lives on through the emergency alert system that bares her name.

Sadly, Amber’s case has never been solved and the man responsible has not been brought to justice. It’s been 29 years and there is still hope that it can be solved.
If any one has information on Amber’s abduction or murder, there is a number to call. 817-575-8823 will connect you to the Arlington Police Department.

This week, we featured a sneak peak into another podcast. Please give Simone with 90s Crime Time a listen. It is available anywhere you listen to podcasts. Tell her Jess & Brice sent you!

Welcome back to the campfire, friends! We’re back with the first episode to kick off a new season.

In this episode, Jess and Brice discuss an unsolved murder from 50 years ago in Lincoln, Nebraska. The body of 24 year old Patricia Webb was found in a remote area 30 minutes away from Lincoln after being seen leaving her job at 1:00 am on April 18, 1974. Despite a strong piece of evidence, leads have turned up no results to solve this crime.

Make sure to let us know your thoughts on this case!

So back in March we did a TV interview with for crimedoor TV. I mean we are kind of a big deal...JK! Not even close.

But they did a feature on our small little podcast and we couldn't have been happier. This is tremendous exposure for our little independent podcast.

We talked about all our different cases from Gary Ridgeway, The Green river killer. To our episode on Michelle Knotek called "The one with death and mayhem". We also talk about our most touching episode "Kaylee Birdzell: A family gets justice but, not closure".

It was such an amazing experience and Sydney was so professional and put us at ease. Go check out episode #97.

We want to say thank you to whom we met at the PNW true crime fest for putting us on. Also thank you to for making the process so easy and Sydney for knowing how to pronounce Puyallup 😉.
