''Stolen Voices of Dole Valley''

A new true crime series, "Stolen Voices of Dole Valley," debuts August 19, exploring the story of a serial killer who preyed on young women in the Pacific Northwest during the 1970s. The nine-part podcast is produced by Pie In the Sky Media, KSL Podcasts, and Lemonada Media, and hosted by journalist Carolyn Ossorio.

The series recounts how hitchhiking, once common among teens, became a deadly risk as a predator abducted, tortured, and murdered his victims. While some survivors escaped, many crimes went under reported and remain unresolved. The podcast centers on survivors and grieving families who continue to seek justice, giving voice to those who were long overlooked.

Ossorio, who previously hosted "The Shadow Girls," brings a personal connection to the project. A child survivor of a violent assault herself, she says her motivation is rooted in giving victims the recognition they were denied. "These victims were dismissed as 'bad girls,' but they were victims of a serial killer. They, too, were silenced by a system that didn't prioritize their voices," she said.

Tanya Vea, President and COO of Bonneville International, called the podcast an important effort to raise awareness. "By sharing these stories, we are helping to raise awareness of the victims' experiences and the ongoing fight for justice," Vea said. Lemonada Media CEO Jessica Cordova Kramer added that the series is "more than a true crime story, as it gives a voice to the victims who were silenced and shines a light on their lives and the injustices they endured."

The series is available now at kslpodcasts.com and on all major podcast platforms.
