The Fox Islands and the Children of the Snow

In this haunting third episode of our "Islands of Michigan" series, we navigate the turbulent history of the North and South Fox Islands, set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Michigan. While the natural beauty of the Fox Islands is undeniable, the shadows of a chilling past linger amidst their serene landscapes.

The North Fox Island, in particular, harbors a dark history as the site of a harrowing crime that once shook the nation. This episode, narrated by the esteemed Nina Innsted of the Already Gone podcast, takes you through the grim narrative that unfolded in this unlikely setting, exposing the scars left behind by a pornography ring that operated with impunity, exploiting the innocence of youth.

We tread carefully on this delicate subject, honoring the stories of those affected, while also shedding light on the steadfast resilience that emerges from the darkest of times. As we peel back the layers of the Fox Islands' history, we also explore the transformation of these spaces into protected lands, striving for a future where such tragedies are not forgotten but serve as lessons of vigilance and strength.
