*In 1985, two couples were murdered while out on different trips in a Mineral, Washington forest. Between a suspicious note found and a very specific M.O, police feared they had a serial killer on their hands- and that these murders could also be linked to another couple’s killings months prior. These are The Mineral Murders, also known as the Tube Sock Killings.* *BONUS EPISODES* www.patreon.com/goingwestpodcast *SPONSORS* *MAGIC SPOON CEREAL* https://magicspoon.com (use code GOINGWEST for free shipping!) *SWANSON VITAMINS* https://swanson.com (use code GOWEST for 20% off & free shipping on orders $50+) *CASE SOURCES* https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Suspected-or-convicted-serial-killers-in-1107863.php https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/skull-discovery-revives-washington-murder-mystery/ https://ididitforjodie.com/2012/03/29/wither-the-tube-sock-killer-a-tale-of-murder-and-mystery-in-the-pacific-northwest/ https://sites.psu.edu/gillianpassionblog/2020/10/09/washington-tube-sock-killings/ https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Stephen_Harkins_and_Ruth_Cooper https://unsolved.com/gallery/diana-robertson/ https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/bhraei/the_tube_sock_murderswashington_state_unsolved/ https://truecrimearticles.com/2018/01/23/the-unsolved-case-of-the-1985-tube-sock-killings/ https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/137597165/_ https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/137475894/kimberly-dianne-lavine Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacyLearn more about your ad choices.
