Summary

Blood Trails is a new investigative podcast from MeatEater, hosted by writer and journalist Jordan Sillars. Each episode digs into true crime stories from the world of hunting and fishing—cases where the woods and the water became the backdrop for violence and mystery. From missing hunters deep in public land to poachers turned killers and fishing trips gone fatally wrong, Blood Trails uncovers the moments when outdoor life collides with the darkness of the human heart. But this isn't repackaged Wikipedia. Each story features original reporting you won't hear anywhere else, expert insight from detectives and hunters, and first-hand accounts from the people who were actually there. For true crime listeners looking for something new—and outdoorsmen who know the thrill and risk of time afield—Blood Trails exposes the stories left behind in the tracks. If you’re a fan of Dateline, Criminal, or Bear Grease but want your true crime set in the wild places you know, this podcast is for you.

    S3E3: The Strange Death of Anita Greenlee
    29 Oct 2026

    In October 1990, Montana hunter Cary Greenlee arrived at a funeral home with his wife's body in the back of his Suburban. Anita Greenlee had been shot in the chest during a hunting trip, and Cary insisted it was a tragic accident. But as investigators dug deeper, they uncovered whispers of an affair, conflicting accounts, and troubling questions about how Anita really died. Nearly two decades later, prosecutors finally brought murder charges. What happened next left the case as controversial as ever—and raised the question of whether Anita's killer had escaped justice.

    S3E2: The Reckoning of Chai Vang
    22 Oct 2026

    On the opening weekend of Wisconsin's 2004 deer season, a confrontation over a tree stand erupted into one of the deadliest hunting-related shootings in American history. Six hunters were killed, two more were wounded, and the man responsible disappeared into the forest. But what drove Chai Soua Vang to open fire? Was it a case of self-defense gone horribly wrong, or a calculated act of murder? Through firsthand accounts from survivors, investigators, and others close to the case, we revisit a tragedy that exposed deep divisions over race, hunting, and justice in rural America.

  • S3E1: The Disappearance of Noel Dalluge

    S3E1: The Disappearance of Noel Dalluge
    15 Oct 2026

    On Halloween weekend in 1986, 17-year-old Noel Dalluge traveled to a remote Minnesota hunting cabin with his high school buddies. The plan was simple: party, hunt, and celebrate the end of football season. But early the next morning, Noel vanished into the woods... without a trace. An extensive search turned up nothing, and questions about what really happened that weekend have haunted his family for decades. Now, nearly 40 years later, new interviews and old suspicions raise a disturbing possibility: someone at that cabin knows more than they've ever admitted.
