Summary

Between the late 1970’s to the early 1990’s, a monster invaded a main highway across Oregon and committed multiple crimes against in his wake. Although his name was always known, he was always somehow one step ahead of police and continued to get away with murder. But as time went on and fresh eyes viewed the case files, investigators finally pursued justice for numerous victims. This is the story of, Rachanda Pickle, Kaye Turner, Marlene Gabrielson, Melissa Sanders, Shiela Swan, and potentially many others. This is also the story of John Ackroyd, also know as The Highway 20 Killer. *BONUS EPISODES* patreon.com/goingwestpodcast *CASE SOURCES* https://projects.oregonlive.com/ghostsofhighway20/stories-annotated.pdf https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/206340289/john-arthur-ackroyd https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2018/12/pers-qa-murder-conviction-didnt-disqualify-john-ackroyd-from-pers-pension.html https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/171981794/kaye-jean-turner https://charleyproject.org/case/rachanda-lea-pickle https://www.reddit.com/r/serialkillers/comments/id745p/john_ackroyd_as_a_possibility_for_the_attack_on/ ( https://www.reddit.com/r/serialkillers/comments/id745p/john_ackroyd_as_a_possibility_for_the_attack_on/ ) Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
