Lisa Marie Kimmell Part 3: A Cold Silence

Silence can be louder than any answer. In this episode of Rocky Mountain Reckoning: Dark Dialogue, John and Angela revisit the long, painful years after the 1988 murder of Lisa Marie Kimmell—the bright 18-year-old whose life was stolen along a Wyoming highway. For more than a decade, her family lived with grief and questions while investigators faced false leads, dead ends, and mounting frustration. You’ll hear about: The dead-end years (1988–2002): false confessions, cult rumors, and missed opportunities that let Lisa’s killer walk free. The Stringfellow Hawke letter: a cryptic note left on Lisa’s grave that haunted her family for years—later tied directly to the man who murdered her. The emotional toll: how birthdays, holidays, and long nights of waiting wore on Lisa’s parents, sisters, and community. The broader pattern: a chilling reminder that Lisa was not the only woman to vanish across the highways and plains of the American West. This is the story of frustration, silence, and resilience—the fight of a family who refused to let Lisa be forgotten, even when the system faltered. If Lisa’s story moves you, don’t let it fade into silence. 👉 Follow and subscribe to Dark Dialogue on your favorite podcast platform. 👉 Leave us a rating or review—it helps keep these victims’ names alive. 👉 Share this episode with someone who cares about justice. 👉 Join our community for bonus content and case files at darkdialoguecrime.substack.com. 👉 Support our investigative work directly at patreon.com/DarkDialoguepod or ko-fi.com/darkdialogue.
