The Lewis Clark Valley Murders - Part 3 - Lance Voss

The Lewis-Clark Valley murders remain one of the Pacific Northwest’s most haunting unsolved mysteries. Between 1979 and 1982, five people either disappeared or were murdered across southeastern Washington and north-central Idaho, leaving investigators to wonder whether they were hunting a single offender who operated undetected for years.

In the conclusion of our series, we follow the investigation as detectives begin laying decades of evidence side by side, transforming what were once separate cases into a single, sprawling investigation. We examine why one man became the focus of so much investigative attention, why suspicion alone has never been enough to support criminal charges, and how advances in DNA testing and investigative genetic genealogy continue to keep hope alive for the families still searching for answers.

We also look at where these cases stand today, the work of investigators and family members who refused to let them be forgotten, and the questions that remain unanswered nearly half a century later.

If you have information about the disappearances of Christina White or Steven Pearsall, or the murders of Kristin David, Kristina Nelson, or Brandy Miller, please contact the appropriate law enforcement agency. Even the smallest detail can matter in a long-running investigation.
