In August of 1997, the quaint little city of Selah, Washington, was shocked to learn that one of their own, Carolyn Clift, was found dead inside her own residence, the victim of a particularly brutal stabbing. Despite multiple eyewitnesses who had heard a disturbance and even glimpsed a potential suspect fleeing the scene, the investigation languished into a cold case. However, a breakthrough occurred providing crucial information that would ultimately crack the case wide open.

Part 2: “The Names of the Dead”
The Order was a gang of white supremacists turned domestic terrorists. Based out of Washington, headed by extremist Robert Mathews and fueled by hate, The Order carried off a series of bank and armored transport robberies in an effort to fund a race war and the eventual overthrow of the government. In the midst of their crimes, they carried out an assassination- that of controversial Denver talk radio host Alan Berg, who was executed in his driveway. On the run after a shootout with the FBI at a Portland, Oregon motel, Mathews and his followers had regrouped at the secluded homes they'd rented at Smuggler's Cove on Whidbey Island, in Puget Sound. On the morning of Friday, December 7, the gang's three safe houses were quietly surrounded by the FBI. Lights and movement could be seen inside as agents prepared to engage with their targets. When they moved in, Mathews opened fire, and a standoff ensued.

Part 1: “The Last Angry Man”
It started with a sick dream of a violent revolution and a race war. Robert Mathews blamed Jewish people for all of the ills of the world. He wanted to see them annihilated, so he formed a group, culled from other extremist assemblies, and called it The Order. Their aim was to fund the overthrow of the government through counterfeiting and the armed robberies of banks and armored transport vehicles. With success, their brazenness escalated, and they decided to make a statement, with the assassination of a prominent radio host, shot at close range with a silenced submachine gun. Intended as a mission statement to the world, the group was too short-sighted to recognize it was the impetus of their downfall. This is The Order, part 1 of 2: The Last Angry Man.

Part 3: "Tread"
For the last two weeks, I’ve been telling you about the path of Jesse Clarence Pratt. In part one, I talked about his violent history toward partners and their children. In part two, I told you about Carrie Lynn Love; the young woman who began working with Jesse and was fatefully chosen to ride with him out of the state. Her body was recovered in a pile of gravel at a secluded truck stop after her personal items were found off the highway. Jesse was quickly connected to Carrie and arrested for her murder. Today, I’ll be closing out his story by walking you through the trials that took place in an effort to keep him out of society. As graphic as all of these episodes have already been, listener discretion is advised as I will be discussing the torture Carrie contended with, the details it’s claimed Jesse spoke of and his sexual kinks that may have been connected to the murder weapon. This is part three of the Path of Pratt.

Part 2: "Spider"
Last week I took you down the path of harm and destruction left behind by Jesse Clarence Pratt. How his partners, Linda, Cheryl, and Nancy, and their children all became victims of his violent temper and his hands. I told you about the kidnapping and rape of Teresa and how Jesse could be the party responsible for the disappearance of Virginia Rambus, and that he was the last person seen with the woman whose body was found in a gravel pile at a rest stop in Oregon- Carrie Love.
This week, in part two of three, I’ll be telling you about Carrie and how good detective work paired with strong forensics led to Jesse’s arrest.

Part 1: "The Candyman"
Virginia Anne Rambus was only 19 years old when she left her apartment to walk across the complex to meet up with a friend. She started the walk, but never arrived. Her case remains unsolved, but a man of particular interest was living in the same complex at the same time. To those he provided drugs to, he was known as the Candy Man. Police in Alaska, Washington, Oregon and California however knew him as Jesse Clarence Pratt. And if he had remained in prison for the crime he committed in 1980, Virginia might still be with us as would another murder victim. Today, in part one of two, I’ll be telling you about Jesse Pratt’s path of destruction, the many wives, partners, children, and sex workers he left bloodied and abused, the women he may have had a hand in killing, and the teenage victim that earned him the title of “Oldest inmate in an Oregon Penitentiary”, Carrie Love.

Part 2: "The Fly"
In part one of The Prowler, I told you about the murders of Mary Anne Pohlreich, Carol Beethe, and Randi Levine. Mary Anne was raped and killed in an unknown location, her body left posed after death. Carol and Randi were blitzed in their beds as they slept, beaten, raped, and mutilated. In part two, I'll tell you about the murderer of these women. A sinister man who began life as a lonely, unwanted child who would grow to become the first person ever tried for serial murder in King County, Washington.

Part 1: "Extreme Personal Rage"
In the Summer of 1990, three women fell into the crosshairs of a dangerous man. They were regulars among Bellevue, Washington's vibrant, hard-partying nightlife, and they were murdered- their broken bodies violated and posed after death. Their killer's method linked them as a series, whose recurrences were growing nearer and nearer, but he'd left few clues aside from his violence. This is The Prowler, part one of two.

November 13th, 2016 was not dissimilar from any other day for the Grunwald family in Palmer, Alaska, that was until their worst fears were realized when their beloved son didn’t arrive home by curfew. The search for 16-year-old David led investigators to the discovery of his burned vehicle. As they continued their search for him, they uncovered the horrifying events that unfolded the last night anyone saw him.
