About this podcast

On July 11, 1976, Wade and Ellen Zick were murdered in their home in the small farming town of Zeeland, North Dakota. The crime stunned the quiet community and set off a search for answers that would ripple through the town for decades. In this season of Dakota Spotlight, host James Wolner revisits the Zeeland murders through interviews with family members, community residents, law enforcement, and even the perpetrators themselves. Through careful reporting and firsthand accounts, Zeeland explores how a violent crime can fracture a close knit rural community and how the truth behind a small town murder slowly emerges over time.
