About this episode

Warren Forrest was convicted of murder in 1978 — and for decades, that was treated as the end of his story. It wasn't.This episode covers the 2015 identification of a second victim, Martha Morrison, and the 2023 DNA breakthrough that finally connected Forrest to her murder nearly 50 years after she disappeared. We also cover the cases that remain unsolved and actively under investigation by Clark County's cold case unit: Carol Valenzuela, Jamie Grissim, and Barbara Derry.This is Part 2 of a two-part series. If you haven't seen Part 1, start there for the full story of Forrest's early crimes and 1974 arrest.If you have information related to any of these cases, contact the Clark County Sheriff's Office cold case tip line — 564-397-2036 SOURCES- The Columbian — "Survivor recalls night of terror" (2014)- The Columbian — "Clark County jury finds Warren Forrest guilty in 1974 murder" (Feb 2023)- KATU — "Cold case team says Warren Forrest may be tied to seven deaths in Clark County" (Feb 2026)- Wikipedia: Warren Forrest- Grokipedia: Warren Forrest (cross-referenced for court record details)- KSL Podcasts — "Stolen Voices of Dole Valley" (episode descriptions, for factual cross-referencing only — not a source of quoted material)Music licensed through Soundstripe.Code: A4ECIORXCYORXTJI, AG1VH30VDEV5LPXV, MOMJOTOJHRT3CHGH
