For nearly 28 years, the death of 15-year-old Danielle “Danni” Houchins haunted Belgrade, Montana. Found face-down in the muddy waters near Cameron Bridge in 1996, her death was ruled undetermined—leaving her family with no answers and a community full of doubt.

In this episode of Unsolved Cases by Skoob, we revisit the chilling details of Danni’s final day, the early investigative failures, and the long fight for truth led by her family. Decades later, advanced DNA technology and forensic genetic genealogy finally uncovered the man responsible—revealing how a killer hid in plain sight for nearly three decades.

This is a powerful true crime story about cold cases, missed evidence, modern science, and the relentless pursuit of justice—proving that some truths may take years to surface, but they never disappear.

What really happened to journalist Danny Casolaro?

In this episode of Unsolved Cases by Skoob, host Larry Hunter investigates The Octopus Murders — one of the most disturbing and unresolved conspiracy cases in modern American history. Casolaro was found dead in a West Virginia hotel room in 1991, just as he claimed to be on the verge of exposing a massive network of corruption involving government agencies, stolen surveillance software (PROMIS), intelligence operations, organized crime, and international arms deals.

Officially ruled a suicide, the evidence tells a far darker story. Missing research files. Threatening phone calls. Deep, suspicious wounds. And powerful figures who may have had everything to lose if Casolaro revealed the truth.

Was Danny Casolaro silenced for uncovering the Octopus conspiracy — or was his death a tragic coincidence? This deep dive explores the facts, the unanswered questions, and why this case still haunts investigative journalism today.
