About this episode
In September 1974, the Cowden family went camping in Oregon. Richard, Belinda, and their two children, 5-year-old David and 5-month-old Melissa were excited to spend quality family time together. But this idyllic family vacation turned into a search and rescue effort when all four members of the family went missing. Seven months later their bodies were discovered about seven miles from their campsite. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss one of Oregon's most gruesome and baffling unsolved murders. When the bodies of the Cowdens were finally discovered seven months later, the details that came out were horrifying. They were like something out of a horror movie. A tantalizing suspect emerged but police could never put it all together. Was it this suspect that murdered the Cowden family or someone else unknown who continues to roam the area?
