In this haunting installment of Dark Dialogue: Rocky Mountain Reckoning, host John McColl and co-host Angela return to the desolate plains of Wyoming, where justice finally clawed its way to the surface.When forensic teams broke ground on Dale Wayne Eaton’s property, they uncovered Lisa Marie Kimmell’s black Honda CRX — buried six feet beneath the dirt, still marked with the plate the world had been searching for: LIL MISS. What investigators found beneath that earth rewrote a fifteen-year mystery. From the chilling excavation to the forensic science that proved Eaton’s guilt, to the strength of Sheila Kimmell’s unbreakable advocacy, this episode chronicles how truth can survive even when it’s buried in silence and dust. You’ll walk the property, feel the tension of the dig, and stand in the quiet moment when the earth itself gave up its secret. Because sometimes justice doesn’t speak — it rises. 🔔 Calls to Action Follow and Review: Like, follow, and rate Dark Dialogue: Rocky Mountain Reckoning on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, or YouTube.

Fifteen years after Lisa Marie Kimmell vanished on a lonely stretch of Wyoming highway, a single DNA sample whispered the name of her killer — Dale Wayne Eaton. DNA and the Man in the Desert follows the forensic trail that broke one of the state’s most haunting cold cases and revealed the predator who had stalked its plains for decades. From the quiet hum of the crime lab to the empty desert where a family once fought for their lives, John and Angela retrace the chain of events that turned a forgotten rape kit into the voice that finally spoke for Lisa. This episode uncovers how Eaton’s violent past, his near-fatal 1997 kidnapping of a Michigan family, and his drifter existence all converged to expose a killer hiding in plain sight.

Silence can be louder than any answer. In this episode of Rocky Mountain Reckoning: Dark Dialogue, John and Angela revisit the long, painful years after the 1988 murder of Lisa Marie Kimmell—the bright 18-year-old whose life was stolen along a Wyoming highway. For more than a decade, her family lived with grief and questions while investigators faced false leads, dead ends, and mounting frustration. You’ll hear about: The dead-end years (1988–2002): false confessions, cult rumors, and missed opportunities that let Lisa’s killer walk free. The Stringfellow Hawke letter: a cryptic note left on Lisa’s grave that haunted her family for years—later tied directly to the man who murdered her. The emotional toll: how birthdays, holidays, and long nights of waiting wore on Lisa’s parents, sisters, and community. The broader pattern: a chilling reminder that Lisa was not the only woman to vanish across the highways and plains of the American West. This is the story of frustration, silence, and resilience—the fight of a family who refused to let Lisa be forgotten, even when the system faltered. If Lisa’s story moves you, don’t let it fade into silence.👉 Follow and subscribe to Dark Dialogue on your favorite podcast platform.👉 Leave us a rating or review—it helps keep these victims’ names alive.👉 Share this episode with someone who cares about justice.👉 Join our community for bonus content and case files at darkdialoguecrime.substack.com.👉 Support our investigative work directly at patreon.com/DarkDialoguepod or ko-fi.com/darkdialogue.

What happens when a bright, responsible 18-year-old vanishes on a road she’s traveled countless times? In this gripping premiere of Dark Dialogue: Rocky Mountain Reckoning, we begin the haunting case of Lisa Marie Kimmell—known to those who loved her as “Lil Miss.” In March 1988, Lisa left her job in Aurora, Colorado, and set off for a weekend road trip north. She never made it. With no signs of a crash, no frantic calls, and only a fleeting last sighting by a Wyoming Highway Patrol officer, Lisa’s disappearance stunned investigators and devastated her family. This episode takes you deep into her early life in Montana, her move to Colorado with her mother, the final drive she planned—and the tragic silence that followed. Hosts John and Angela peel back the layers of this real-life mystery, exposing how jurisdictional gaps, vast Western landscapes, and lost hours contributed to one of the most baffling disappearances of the 1980s. 🎧 Tune in as we retrace her final moments, explore what was known and what was missed, and pay tribute to a life interrupted far too soon. 💡 Want to go deeper?

In 1983, Janelle Johnson was chasing her dreams. Just 23 years old, she traveled from Riverton, Wyoming to Denver for a modeling interview at Vannoy Talent Center. She called home to check in, planned her return—and vanished. Two weeks later, her body was discovered on a desolate stretch of Muskrat Creek Road near Shoshoni. She had been brutally assaulted, strangled, and left in a shallow grave. The forensic evidence that could have identified her killer was collected—then destroyed in a failed police refrigerator. Forty years later, her case remains unsolved. In this episode of Dark Dialogue: Rocky Mountain Reckoning, John and Angela retrace Janelle’s final journey. From her ambitions as a small-town girl chasing big-city dreams to the dark realities of hitchhiking in the Great Basin during the 1980s, they explore the suspects who could have been responsible: Dale Wayne Eaton, Robert Ben Rhoades, Larry Hall, and the unknown predators who stalked Wyoming’s highways. This is more than a murder story—it’s a story of systemic failure, lost justice, and a young woman who should never be forgotten. 👉 If you know anything about the murder of Janelle Johnson, contact the National Organization of Parents Of Murdered Children at (513) 721-5683 or natlpomc@pomc.org.

Naomi Kidder wasn’t a runaway. She wasn’t reckless. She was an 18-year-old mother trying to find her way in the rural sprawl of 1980s Wyoming. And in the summer of 1982, she disappeared—leaving behind a baby daughter, a devastated family, and a trail of silence that lasted over a decade. In this episode of Dark Dialogue: Rocky Mountain Reckoning, we unravel the heartbreaking story of Naomi Kidder—who vanished after hitchhiking out of Rawlins and was later found strangled with barbed wire in a remote patch of Natrona County. For 12 years, she was a Jane Doe. Her name wasn't added to any national databases. Her dental records weren’t uploaded. Her killer was never found. John and Angela trace the deeply personal and systemically failed case from Naomi’s final days to the discovery of her body, through the tangled web of suspects, including serial predators like Larry DeWayne Hall and Dale Wayne Eaton. We break down the evidence, the missed opportunities, and the haunting legacy left for Naomi’s daughter, Bobbi. This is more than just another cold case.It’s a story of institutional negligence, systemic erasure, and a young mother who deserved to come home.

How many serial killers does it take before a region sounds the damn alarm? Apparently, more than a dozen. In this blistering special episode of Rocky Mountain Reckoning, John and Angela put the regular format on pause and turn their full attention to the monsters who stalked the Great Basin from the 1960s to the early 2000s. With names like Bundy, Long, Rhoades, Hall, Baldwin, and the Gallegos, this episode peels back the brutal truth of just how many sadistic killers were prowling the very same highways, truck stops, and rural corridors — often at the same damn time. From vanished hitchhikers to dumped bodies in Wyoming’s backcountry, from botched investigations to lost DNA evidence, this is the episode where John’s fury is unleashed. These weren’t just killers — they were roaming predators enabled by silence, incompetence, and indifference. Why this region? Why so many? And how many are still out there, unaccounted for? Featuring deep research, gallows humor, and seething disgust, this episode is for the victims — both named and nameless — and for anyone who refuses to let their stories be forgotten. 🎧 Listen if you dare — and prepare to be outraged. 💀 Support the Mission — Help Keep These Stories Alive: 🧩 Join the Dark Dialogue Collective to aid in cold case research: https://www.darkdialogue.com ☕ Fuel the show on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/darkdialogue 📰 Subscribe on Substack for behind-the-scenes content: https://substack.com/@darkdialogue1 💸 Become a patron: https://www.patreon.com/darkdialoguepod 📩 Got a tip or want to get involved?

They were daughters, dreamers, and drifters—until they crossed paths with a man who thrived in shadows. In this episode of Dark Dialogue: Rocky Mountain Reckonings, we shift the focus away from Royal Russell Long and center the lives stolen, the voices silenced, and the trails that vanished under carnival lights and diesel exhaust. We examine the known and suspected victims connected to Long’s cross-country movements—from 12-year-old Sharon Baldeagle, a Lakota girl who accepted a ride and was never seen again, to Lisa Kimmell, the young woman whose personalized license plate became a haunting clue. We revisit the two teenage runaways abducted from a Wyoming fairground, one of whom lived to tell the tale. And we dive deep into the nameless Jane Does scattered across the I-80 corridor—bodies found in deserts, truck stops, and ravines, their stories still waiting to be told. What emerges is not just a portrait of a suspected serial predator, but a reckoning with how systems failed those most vulnerable—Indigenous girls, teenage runaways, women on the margins—and how some of those failures still echo today. These victims deserve more than a footnote in a killer’s timeline.

In October 1980, a teenage girl’s body was found in the Nevada desert—nude, bruised, stabbed, and stripped of her identity. For 41 years, she was known only by the crude “S” tattoo on her arm and a grave marker that read “Jane Doe.” Her name was Tammy Corrine Terrell. In this gripping episode of Dark Dialogue, we unravel the heartbreaking case of Tammy—how she left Roswell, New Mexico in search of something better, only to be silenced in the desert outside Henderson. We dive deep into her movements before death, the suspects last seen with her at a Carson City Denny’s, and the forensic clues—like her freshly inked tattoo and the brutal nature of her injuries. We also explore the decades-long mystery that followed, the role of forensic genealogy in finally identifying her in 2021, and the advocacy efforts that refused to let her story fade into the sand. Who killed Tammy Terrell—and why?What does the ‘S’ tattoo really mean?And how did her name get lost for over four decades? This is more than a murder mystery.

Buried in the heat-hardened cliffs of Nevada’s Thousand Springs Canyon, a young woman’s story was reduced to ashes—her name burned away, her identity still unknown. Who was she? And who wanted her erased? In this gripping episode of Dark Dialogue: Rocky Mountain Reckoning, we delve into the haunting 1974 discovery of the Thousand Springs Jane Doe, a burned body found in a lava rock alcove outside Elko County. With no skull, no teeth, and no match in missing persons databases, she became one of the West’s most tragic and overlooked mysteries. Through forensic fire analysis, timeline reconstruction, and terrain-based profiling, we explore what the fire may have hidden—and what it couldn’t destroy.
