Jess and Brice are back with new episodes!
Thank you everyone for sticking in there with us while we were away! We had some much-needed time off but missed doing what we love and interacting with all of you.
In this episode, we talk about an amazing survival story of a young woman and the man responsible for the torture and murder of her family.
If child sexual abuse is a trigger, please know that we are tackling this topic in this episode. We do the best we can not to share details of these crimes, but please listen responsibly.

What Happens in the Woods Podcast is run by the dynamic duo, Jess and Brice.
We’re just your average couple, living normal lives, who happen to be obsessed with everything related to true crime. Shortly after relocating to the great Pacific Northwest, we realized there were stories upon gruesome stories to be told from this region. And we want nothing more than to share them with you.
Since our first episode on The Green River Killer in February of 2020, it has been an incredible journey for our little indie podcast. We’ve covered notorious serial killers, strange cyanide poisonings, and even old-time kidnappings. What Happens in the Woods has recorded over 50 episodes and has gained listeners from all around the world. From our regular season to our WTF Wednesday segments, we hope to provide true crime lovers with cases that they may not have heard of. Join us during our regular seasons on every first and third Friday of the month as we take a deep look into the dark and twisted. It isn’t for the faint of heart, but we promise it will be worth it.
And remember...STAY OUT OF THE WOODS!
