    A town on fire

    2026-04-29 | 23 mins.
    Early in the morning on May 24, 2010, a fire broke out at a cabin on Walloon Lake. At first, investigators thought it was an ember flying from a backyard fire pit.
    But then, fire investigators immediately noticed the smell of gasoline throughout the cabin. And they soon discovered the unlikeliest of suspects outside, watching, wide-eyed and mesmerized, as an entire family burned within the fully engulfed house.
    It turns out, this pivotal event, so many years ago, would play a role in the downfall of the Michigan Nighstalker. Because it turned out that this killer messed with an absolute survivor and would end up paying the price.
    This is part 23 of the 8th season of Crime Adjacent: the untold story of the Michigan Nightstalker.
    What happens if your favorite character jumps off the page and starts a podcast? That’s Crime Adjacent, the never-ending true crime thriller told weekly.

    With the help of devoted listeners and true crime fans, the international #1 smash hit Crime Adjacent podcast team has already captured the Bay Area's Rest Stop Killer in 2023, stopped the Mercy Street Butcher in 2019, and exposed the AmaniCorp conspiracy in 2024.

    But now, the darkest chapter begins, as host and serial killer survivor Chase Patrick is pulled into the case of the Michigan Nightstalker.

    Going fishing

    2026-04-22 | 27 mins.
    Deputy Swanson immediately recognized a victim of sextortion when she saw high school senior Emily Willis trudging fearfully through town.
    The FBI reports that more than 7,000 cases of sextortion happen every year, when blackmailers start up fake relationships with minors to get incriminating materials they can then use to blackmail those minors. Swanson, who had worked with the FBI, recognized the signs and she immediately rushed into action.
    But she didn't just stop Emily Willis and let her know that help was available. Swanson enlisted the high schooler's help and together, they would take down the cyber criminal who had been menacing the town for the entire year.

    Blackmail

    2026-04-15 | 16 mins.
    High school senior Emily Willis said her best friend, Dorian Block, was the happiest, most cheerful person she had ever met. They'd known each other since before kindergarten and were about to graduate this year from high school and go on to college together.
    But one day, in early September 2024, Dorian began acting very, very strangely. Like she was scared of something, or someone.
    Within hours, Dorian would be dead, and Emily, just a few weeks later, would find herself in the exact same situation.
    Because it wasn't just something that scared Dorian. It was, indeed, someone.
    And that someone had now turned his attention to Emily.
    This is part 21 of the 8th season of Crime Adjacent: the untold story of the Michigan Nightstalker.

    Theory of the case

    2026-04-08 | 20 mins.
    Sheriff Press had a grand theory about the ultimate suspect in this case. She put it all together when she noticed a pattern.
    All of the women who were assaulted were out-of-town visitors. But all of the women who were murdered had something in common.
    They were Realtors.
    And there was only one man in town with a grudge against Realtors. Was he behind all this?
    The only problem was ... this guy had been murdered as well.

    Two days, four murders

    2026-04-01 | 14 mins.
    Northern Michigan lake country had seen a murder in years. And then all of a sudden there are four, in just two days?
    It didn't make sense to Sheriff Press. All of her prime suspects were either in jail already or dead.
    So clearly, someone was still out there, targeting her citizens. And it felt like there was nothing she could do to stop it.
    This is part 19 of the 8th season of Crime Adjacent: the untold story of the Michigan Nightstalker.
