The Portland metro area has always been the \u2018quirky girl\u2019 of American cities. We partake in anything usually deemed \u2018weird\u2019 or \u2018out of the norm\u2019, and we like it that way. However, that weirdness can often be perceived as a gateway to even more strange and, who knows, maybe even dangerous lifestyles. So, when a young mother in Gresham called 911 after being attacked, her life was dissected and detectives thought they may have uncovered the role the evil-doer played in her life. That role was of a pirate. Today, I\u2019ll be telling you the story of Annastasia Hester of Gresham, Oregon, and how her killer was closer than detectives ever imagined. \n\nFor photos and sources for today\u2019s episode, check out the Murder in the Rain Episode Blog. \n\nEpisode Host: Alisha Holland\n\nIf you\u2019d like more episodes of Murder in the rain, Patreon members at the $5/mo+ level, gain access to exclusive episodes, ad-free episodes, bonus content, and more.\n\nFollow us on:\n\nInstagram https://www.instagram.com/murderintherain/ \nFacebook https://www.facebook.com/mintherain/ \nTwitter https://twitter.com/murderintherain \nTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@em_murderintherain \nWebsite https://www.murderintherain.com/ \nEmail murderintherain@gmail.com\n\nOur Sponsors:\n* Check out Armoire and use my code RAIN for a great deal: http://www.armoire.style\n* Check out undefined and use my code RAIN for a great deal: undefined\n* Check out undefined: undefined \n\nSupport this podcast at \u2014 https://redcircle.com/murder-in-the-rain/exclusive-content\n\nAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
