In September 1974, the Cowden family went camping in Oregon. Richard, Belinda, and their two children, 5-year-old David and 5-month-old Melissa were excited to spend quality family time together.

Seven months later their bodies were discovered about seven miles from their campsite. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss one of Oregon's most gruesome and baffling unsolved murders.
