Secrets, Betrayal, and Murder in Spearfish, North Dakota

A true crime podcast details the murder of Hunter Walsh, an 18-year-old who engaged in secret, financially motivated gay relationships with several prominent Spearfish, South Dakota men, including Sheriff Dale Connors. A confrontation at a diner between Walsh, Connors, and Connors' girlfriend, Nicole Myers, preceded Walsh's death. The investigation initially focused on Connors and Myers, but a hidden folder on Walsh's computer revealed his extortion of several other men, including JB Haskins, leading to a surprising revelation: Myers, fueled by betrayal and rage, murdered Walsh and attempted to frame Connors. Ultimately, Myers was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 25 years in prison, while Connors resigned and subsequently relocated with Haskins.
