Summary

The brutal 1976 murders of Wade and Ellen Zick in Zeeland, North Dakota left investigators and neighbors chasing every possible lead. Episode 4, Pink Slip, moves deeper into the story with chapters including Sunland, The House on Third Street, Sour Cream and Salsa, Standing Room Only, Pink Slip, and Two Brothers and a Friend. These moments reveal the shifting suspicions, whispered rumors, and growing fear inside a small town trying to understand what happened. Zeeland is a documentary style true crime series investigating how rural crime devastated a tight-knit community and became one of North Dakota’s most haunting cold cases.
