A key witness disappears. A body is found. A grand jury convenes. And suddenly the man who ruled Bridger Valley through fear is no longer hunting—he’s being hunted.
This episode takes you inside Hickey’s bombshell confession, the federal takedown of Hopkinson’s criminal network, the high-security trial that shook Wyoming, and the appeals battle that dragged on for years.
This is the downfall of a rural crime boss, the story the valley whispered about for decades—and the case that still stands as the most dangerous, far-reaching prosecution in Wyoming history.
