The Gitchie Manitou Murders

About this episode

On November 17th, 1973, five teens went to the Gitchie Manitou State Preserve on the Iowa-South Dakota border to hang out and play guitar. Three brothers found them sitting by the fire and began shooting. Only one of the teens survived the night. 

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss what has become known as the Gitchie Manitou murders. The only survivor was a 13-year-old girl. She was dropped off at home by one of the men, and she was able to give the police many details about what had happened that night. The brothers all had a different story to tell, with each of them blaming someone else for the shootings.
