There were so many active serial murderers in the Pacific Northwest and their often cross-jurisdictional crimes demanded the development of a system called HITS, designed to make connections between reported crimes, in order to better pinpoint suspects and make arrests. In 1991, this system made a match in Seattle, where HITS was based, to a murder in Portland, Oregon. This link would lead them to a man, who for years had worked the highways of the American West as a trucker, and possibly a serial killer.\n\nFor photos and sources for today\u2019s episode, check out the Murder in the Rain Episode Blog. \n\nEpisode Host: Josh McCullough\n\nIf you\u2019d like more episodes of Murder in the rain, Patreon members of at least $5/mo, 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
