A 19-year-old leaves Portland in 1989 and is later found dead off Interstate 70 in rural Utah. No timeline. No witnesses. No answers.
In this solo episode of Rocky Mountain Reckoning, John examines the case of Vicky Lynn Perkins—breaking down victimology, interstate offender patterns, and comparisons to known suspects including Clark Perry Baldwin and Scott William Cox.
This case doesn’t give you a clear answer.
It leaves you in the distance between.
This episode of Dark Dialogue is something different—and something that matters.
Originally recorded during a New Year’s live show that didn’t quite go as planned, one part stood out: a conversation worth keeping. What you’re hearing today is that conversation, presented on its own.
In this episode, John sits down with Joe Warren, songwriter for the JJ Hawk Band—an Oregon-based rock group building something real, both in their music and in how they choose to use it.
This isn’t just about songs.
It’s about independence—producing their own work through Hawk Studios.
It’s about authenticity—creating music without compromise.
And more than anything, it’s about purpose.
JJ Hawk has partnered with Dark Dialogue in a way that goes beyond exposure or promotion. Their music is now part of our victim tributes—moments meant to honor lives, not headlines. Together, we’re building something meant to last. Something meant for someone else.
