When people refer to the North Pole, they are usually talking about it as Santa Claus's home.

It conjures up images of elves and toys and reindeer, but not murderers. But this podcast is about killers and even the North Pole has been a crime scene.

Well, the real city of North Pole, that is. The one in Alaska, not Santa's place.

It's a small town just south of the Arctic Circle, with a population of around 2,500 people.

With all the snow and cold there, it easily fits into the storybook version of its fictitious counterpart.

The town has streets with names like Chris Cringle Drive and Missile Toe Lane.

There's a huge store in the city called the Santa Claus House and its walls are papered with children's letters to Santa.

The town is covered with Christmas decorations year round, including candy cane stripe street lights and a big Santa statue.

But in 1979, this idealic town was shocked when several young women and girls went missing.

Investigators did not realize they had a serial killer on their hands, until the body started appearing the following year.

The women had all been murdered in the same horrific fashion, and most of the bodies were left within a 10 mile radius of each other.

But it wasn't until after the murderer left Alaska that police began to put the pieces together and realized their main suspect was not who they originally thought.

And although the killer eventually confessed to the crimes, the police were powerless to arrest him.
