  • Murder North of the Arctic Circle
    Aug 14 2024
    People imagine snow, ice, and bitter cold when they think of Alaska in January, but Alaska is a big place. I live on Kodiak Island in the southern part of the state, and the winter temperature here averages around 35⁰F (1.7⁰C). That may seem cold if you are from California, South America, or Australia, but is not a harsh winter temperature for most of the United States. The following story, though, gives you a feel for Alaska at its coldest. This brutal crime occurred north of the Arctic Circle in January, where the temperature hovered at -50⁰F (-45.6⁰C) when someone shot three men on a caribou hunting expedition and left them to die in their tent.

  • Klutuk: A Hunter of Humans
    Jul 31 2024
    Klutuk is Alaska’s version of the boogeyman – a terrifying character you tell stories about around the campfire. He is a man shrouded in mystery and myth. What was his actual name? Was he tall or short? How many men did he kill? Did he possess mystical powers? How did he die? One hundred years after he terrorized western Alaska, it is impossible to separate truth from fiction. Sources Dihle, Bjorn. “Klutuk, the mad trapper of Bristol Bay.” June 6, 2020. Outdoorlife.com. Heaton, John. “Klutuk: ‘The Man from the Mountain.’” 2015. Guilford, CT. TwoDot. Hunt, William R.

  • FTA: What Happened to the Fandel Children?
    Jul 17 2024
    Most parents can imagine no nightmare worse than the disappearance of a child, but how can a parent possibly cope when both of their children vanish, swallowed by the Alaska wilderness? Sometime during the late-night hours of Sept. 5 or the early morning hours of Sept. 6, 1978, Scott Fandel, 13, and Amy Fandel, 8, disappeared from their Sterling, Alaska home on the Kenai Peninsula, 136 miles (218.9 km) south of Anchorage. The mystery of what happened to the Fandel children has baffled Alaska State Troopers for over four decades. How can two kids vanish from their home without a trace?

Great True Crime Coverage!!!

I'm a true crime junkie and I really enjoyed these podcasts! I originally found Robin on a show I was watching called Cold Blooded Alaska and decided to look her up, I enjoy podcasts while I drive! I was not disappointed :)

Jeff Martin - my Brother in loving memory

I appreciate you telling the story, you did an accurate job in the telling. Your focus on what happened and why was the right focus. Your telling felt objective to me not blaming and emphasizing the positive at the end. The industry has changed and for the better. It was difficult to listen to now 39 years latter, I miss my brother now more than ever. He was gentle, smart, and determined he had a funny side to him. He along with all the A Boat men are missed, they are talked about in shared memories to this day. Their names are on memorials in Anacortes. And alive in a young man’s Facebook page about them. We have a bench near the beach where we played as kids to remember Jeff that is all I have except for the memories. This podcast does a service to remind us of the danger and pull of the sea. I disagree that going to sea then was all about the money it was also about the desire for being the best and living an alive life. Should you do a follow up episode please seek help on the pronunciation of names.
