In the latter half of 1985, a series of brutal killings rocked the quiet woods of Mineral, Washington. On August 10, 1985, 27-year-old Steven Harkins and his 42-year-old girlfriend, Ruth Cooper, departed from their home in Tacoma, Washington, for a weekend camping trip at Tule Lake in Pierce County. Four days later, on August 14, hikers in Pierce County found Harkins shot dead in his sleeping bag at a remote campsite, with the couple's dog also killed nearby. On October 26, Cooper's skull was found near Harts Lake, 1.5 miles from Harkins' body. Two days later, her body and purse were discovered 50 feet away. A tube sock was tied around her neck, and she had died from a gunshot wound to the abdomen.In December 1985, Mike Riemer, 36, his girlfriend Diana Robertson, 21, and their 2-year-old daughter Crystal traveled from Tacoma to Pierce County to find a Christmas tree. Later that evening, Crystal was found alone outside a Kmart in Spanaway, saying her "Mommy was in the trees." Two months later, Diana's body was discovered near Riemer's truck, with a tube sock around her neck and 17 stab wounds. Investigators suspected Riemer, who had disappeared, might be responsible, though some believed he was also a victim. He had previously been charged with domestic assault against Diana.Ossuary 6 - Air Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Contact us at: weeknightmysteries@gmail.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/weeknightmysteriesTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@weeknightmysteries

This is part 2 of 2 and will conclude the series on the murder of Diana Robertson and the potential murder of Mike Reimer. December 12, 1985. 36-year old Mike Riemer and his 21-year old girlfriend Diana Robertson leave their home in Puyallup, Washington to take their two-year old daughter, Crystal, out for a day in the woods to get a Christmas tree. That afternoon, Crystal is discovered wandering alone outside a Kmart, but is unable to tell anyone where her parents are. Two months later, Diana is found murdered outside Mike's truck on a remote logging road with a tube sock tied around her neck, but Mike himself has gone missing. Police begin to suspect that Mike killed Diana and could have been responsible for the murders of another couple from the area. In that case, a tube sock was also tied around the female victim's neck. In 2011, a skull fragment belonging to Mike is found a mile away from where Diana was killed. Did Mike commit these murders, drop off his daughter, and return to the scene to commit suicide? Or was an unknown serial killer responsible for the deaths of all four of these victims?

5 MOST CREEPY & SCARY SMALL TOWN MURDER MYSTERIES Small towns and quiet villages, these are places people reside in for safe and peaceful living. But crime knows no bounds, and sometime it can be the most violent - in the least likely of places. These are the 5 Most Creepy & Scary Small Town Murder Mysteries. 5. Mineral, Washington Murders Also known as the "Tube Sock Killings," these baffling murders happened in the remote area of Lewis and Pierce County near the small community of Mineral, Washington. It was December 12, 1985 and 36 year old Mike Riemer, left home to check on the animal traps he had set around the Nisqually River. Riemer had always loved the woods. Even though he worked as a roofer during most months, every winter he would set traps around the river trying to capture minks, coyotes and muskrats so that he could sell the furs to help supplement his income. 4. Tina Marcotte & Tom Keuter On June 24, 1994, Tina Marcotte found herself stranded on the road with a flat tire. She had been a late shift worker for Black Hills Molding, a wood processing plant in Rapid City, South Dakota. With nowhere to go, she called her friend, Vicky, and asked to be picked up. However, while on the phone, Tina noticed a car driving up and told her friend she didn't need to come anymore because a co-worker, Tom Keuter, would be giving her a ride. She thanked Vicky and hung up the phone and this was last time anyone would hear from her. 3. The Grande Praire Killings Despite being a small size, the town of Grand Praire has been earning a reputation as one of Canada's most dangerous places for some time. Robbery is rampant, shootouts common and crime steadily increasing. Thieves and criminals don't even wait for the cover of dark to do their deeds anymore. A rampant and constant slew of murders around the area has alarmed locals and law enforcement alike. Over the past century this place has had its share of mysterious killings. For instance, there was the case of the 1918 mass murder where six immigrants were killed without anyone ever being arrested. 2. Gregory Villemin Thirty years ago, on October 16, 1984, 4-year old, Gregory Villemin was playing in front of his house. The family lived in Vosges, a mountainous area found at the Eastern portion of France, right near the German border. Everything seemed well but At aroundt 5 PM, Gregory's Uncle received a disturbing call. The mysterious voice on the other end of the line said he had kidnapped the little boy, bound and drowned him in the Vologne River. Obviously Worried, the family called police when they couldn't find their little boy. True to what the caller said, they found young Gregory drowned in the river. 1. Be-lo Store Murders With a population of only 4,000 people, Winsor, North Carolina is considered a sleepy, small town. But that would forever change on June 6, 1993. It was dusk and the Be-Lo Store closed early. Three of the store employees were wrapping up the day's work and three cleaning crew members arrived to help strip the floors. What the 6 of them didn’t know, was that they weren't the only ones inside the store. At about 6:30 PM, the suspect showed himself. At gunpoint, he bound and tied up the victims in pairs using duct tape. So there were the 5 MOST CREEPY & SCARY SMALL TOWN MURDER MYSTERIES
