But now, everyday citizens suddenly went on unusual crime sprees.And one person, who moved to town in January, long before the clown creeping even began, appeared on the periphery in each case. Over and over again, this one name in particular popped up.And it popped up again in the clown creeper cases in September 2024, when he was arrested right outside the cabin of Claire Gasley.This is part four of the 8th season of Crime Adjacent: the untold story of the Michigan Nightstalker.What happens if your favorite character jumps off the page and starts a podcast?

It appeared as if this case would be solved in mere hours. And then investigators discovered something else about these cameras, something that would turn this case upside down and begin to answer questions about why the small town began experiencing big crimes.This is part three of the 8th season of Crime Adjacent: the untold story of the Michigan Nightstalker.What happens if your favorite character jumps off the page and starts a podcast?

Early in the morning on Sept. 26, 2024, a man in a Halloween clown mask broke into the cabin of a single, vacationing woman in Northern Michigan. He bagged all her shoes. Watched her sleep for an unknown period of time. And then crept to the foot of her bed, where he gently lifted the covers and massaged her feet.Night after night, cabin after cabin, the man prowled the quiet vacationland of Walloon Lake. It started with break ins and foot rubs. And soon, it escalated, with murders stretching from Petoskey to Traverse City.This is part one of a new season of Crime Adjacent: the untold story of the Michigan Nightstalker.What happens if your favorite character jumps off the page and starts a podcast?

In the annals of true crime lore and media representations, serial killers are far too often held up as loner geniuses and masterminds. But the truth is, for the most part, these guys are morons -- usually psychopathic, narcissistic idiots who are, ultimately, done in by their own stupidity and hubris. Ted Bundy couldn't help but steal the same type of car. The Son of Sam got parking tickets and returned to the scenes of his crimes. The BTK Killer trusted cops and basically sent in his own confession letter. And in Ridgewood, in 2023, the Rest Stop Killer couldn't stop putting up signposts that would, in the end, lead to their capture. This is the story of The Rest Stop Killer's capture.What happens if your favorite character jumps off the page and starts a podcast?
