Crime Off The Grid
Crime Off the Grid is a podcast about true crime stories from our National Parks and other wild places.
The hosts, Tara and Nancy, bring over 30 years of experience each working as law enforcement rangers in National Parks and National Forests (in Nancy's case). Our guests are rangers, investigators, prosecutors, victim specialists, and other first responders who have dedicated their careers to justice and safety in places off the grid.
Join the hosts and me where we discuss cases, listen to Ranger Tales; real rangers telling real stories that you just can't make up, and...report news and commentary from wild places from the Crime Off the Grid Newsroom!
Take a listen to our Intro first so you have a good idea what we're talking about!
