About this episode

This episode unravels the disturbing case of Peter Keller, a survivalist whose obsession with disappearing into the woods concealed a far darker reality.

A hidden bunker deep in the Washington wilderness. A husband and father who vanished without a trace. And a horrifying discovery that proved his escape plan came at an unimaginable cost. In this episode of Over My Dead Pod , we unravel the disturbing case of Peter Keller —the survivalist whose obsession with disappearing into the woods concealed a far darker reality. For years, Keller meticulously constructed a secret underground bunker in the forests of the Cascade Mountains, telling those around him little about the project. To outsiders, it seemed like the eccentric hobby of a man preparing for the apocalypse. But investigators would eventually learn the bunker wasn't built to survive the end of the world—it was built to hide from the consequences of his own actions. How does someone spend years preparing for survival while secretly planning murder? And what drives a seemingly ordinary family man to choose isolation, violence, and ultimately, self-destruction? Join us as we descend into one of the most chilling survivalist cases in modern true crime—a story where the deepest secrets were buried beneath the trees.
