Hey, everybody. It's Ben. Hope you're doing good. It's been quite a year since

Bankrobert Diaries ended. And I wanted to let you know that it's been a super, super busy year

for us at Western Sound. We've just put out a brand new show that I know you are going to love.

If you're into the Bankrobert Diaries, you are going to love our new podcast. It's called Lost Hills.

Lost Hills is a new podcast with the New Yorkers Dana Goodyear that she and I put together

about the horrifying story of a man who was shot in the head in 2018 while camping with his two

young daughters, an idyllic Malibu, California. After his death, the cops followed a crumbed

trail of clues and arrested a survivalist that they found camping in the woods. And that's when

things really went off the rails. Lost Hills is a shocking mystery that you're not going to be able

to stop listening to. So we're going to play you a little excerpt so you can hear what the show

sounds like. It's super amazing. You're going to want to go subscribe right now.

It's called Lost Hills. Here it is.

It was before sunrise June 22nd, 2018, and the campground at Malibu Creek State Park was packed.

It's an idyllic spot. Camp sites are arranged in a ring around a large meadow dotted with oak trees,

jagged peaks zigzag across the open sky. It was four in the morning, still dark. Everyone was inside

their nylon tents and RVs, cozy in their sleeping bags for a couple more hours.

But someone was awake, watching, silent, undetected, slipping shadow-like around the sleeping campground.

He had a gun and he fired it directly into one family's tent.

Inside the tent was a man named Tristan Bodet, a brilliant young research scientist, 35 years old.

He was sleeping beside his two little girls. The bullet struck his forehead, killing him.

And whoever did it slipped away into the darkness.
