Across State Lines: True Crime

On August 26, 1893, Anna Wiese was walking home from a friend's house when she was ambushed and murdered, and nearly decapitated. While many people were arrested for her murder, one woman, Emily Bennett, was put on trial twice for the murder of Anna. There were rumors that Anna's body was dug up and tampered with, and that the jury was poisoned to throw off the trial. Despite two trials, no one had ever served time for Anna's killing, and 132 years later, justice has never been served.

The Case Of Summit Meadow Jane Doe, Now Known As Patricia Hicks Dahlstrom

Across State Lines: True Crime

01/03/25 • 39 min

In 1983, a family who was visiting Yosemite National Park stumbled upon partial human remains that had belonged to a woman in her 20’s, and her identity had eluded police for forty years. During the course of the investigation, a well known serial killer had come to light, and when investigated, he claimed that he had killed the Jane Doe. However, this
particular serial killer had falsely confessed to hundreds of murders, and his tales were largely discredited by both investigators and the public alike. Another serial killer began to kill in Yosemite National Park a decade later, and this killer had even had contact with Jane Doe a decade prior, so he was
considered a suspect, as well. In 2022, Jane Doe’s identity was uncovered when DNA and genetic genealogy identified her as Patricia Hicks Dahlstrom, and a dive into her life story took investigators into the world of a very ominous cult. Still, today, her case is unsolved, though investigators have a decent
idea of who may have been her killer based on some items found at the scene.
