Back to EpisodesThe Mount Rainier Murders: The Tube Sock Killer (Washington)
Description
In 1985, two couples were murdered months apart in the forests surrounding Mount Rainier. In both cases, a woman was found with a white athletic tube sock tied around her neck using the same distinctive knot. For twenty-five years, investigators believed one of the victims, trapper Mike Riemer, may actually have been the killer. Then, in 2011, a hiker found his remains less than a mile from where his girlfriend had been discovered. Suddenly, investigators weren't looking for three victims and a murderer. They were looking at four victims—and a killer who had disappeared without a trace.
Tonight, we explore Washington's unsolved Tube Sock Murders, the toddler the killer inexplicably spared, and the DNA evidence that could finally put a name to whoever walked out of those woods.
