Dark Dialogue: Rocky Mountain Reckoning
Where the mountains remember everything—even the secrets buried in their shadows.
Season by season, Rocky Mountain Reckoning takes you deep into the heart of the American West—uncovering the most haunting unsolved cases, from desolate canyons to forgotten ghost towns. Each season focuses on a different mystery rooted in the rugged terrain of the Rocky Mountain region.
Season One: The Great Basin Serial Killer.
A chilling string of Jane Doe cases across Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming suggests a pattern too precise to ignore. Are we looking at the work of a long-elusive serial killer? Or a tragic series of coincidences in some of the most isolated corners of the country? We dig into forensic evidence, FBI profiling, survivor stories, and possible suspects.
In future seasons, we’ll tackle new cases—but always with the same depth, compassion, and determination to uncover the truth behind the silence of these mountains.
