Cascadia Crime & Cryptids

note: this episode was recorded during the Seattle Mariners' historic playoff run and we were very excited.  we are still very sad it ended the way it did.  Mariners, please sign Josh Naylor.  This is a BONUS episode because we had big feelings and wanted to cover this absolutely insane documentary.  We suggest viewing "Unknown Number" on Netflix prior to listening to this episode, and for extra info, read the article on this case from The Cut in January of 2025 titled "Who Was Cyberbullying Kendra Licari's Teen Daughter?"  We won't be making a habit of traveling outside of Cascadia.

Rio is described as a white female, 5'6” and 215 lbs, (missing flyer shows 5'5 and 205 lbs) with brown shoulder length hair and blue eyes. She has a scar on her left forearm and a mole above her lip.  She was last seen wearing blue jeans.

CW: This case deals with sexual assault, murder, spousal abuse, suicidal ideation, and dismemberment of a human body, so please take care when listening. Wayne Adam Ford turned himself into police at the urging of his brother in November of 1998 - by this time he had already killed at least four women and assaulted many others.  His tears and apparent guilt about his crimes earned him the press moniker "the serial killer with a conscience" - we don't think he's that at all.   These are the crimes of Wayne Adam Ford.
