HOLLOW CREEK
The Blackfoot Ridge KillingsBy Mohamed AslamLength2h 11m
About this audiobook
Between 1985 and 1991, six people vanished on the sixty-one-mile Blackfoot Ridge trail in rural Kentucky. Four bodies were found. One survivor lived to describe her attacker. One was never found at all. For six years, an underfunded, overwhelmed sheriff's department failed to connect the deaths — until a state police detective, a criminal profiler nobody wanted to listen to, and a survivor's testimony finally closed in on the trapper who had lived quietly on the ridge's edge his entire life.
Hollow Creek: The Blackfoot Ridge Killings is an immersive true-crime narrative tracing a six-year investigation from its earliest institutional failures through a tense courtroom trial to its long, complicated aftermath — a story about what a small community chooses not to see, and what it costs when nobody's watching closely enough.
