The House on Sweet and Seventh (1): A Little Red Car – The Erickstad Family Murder in Bismarck

In September 1998, Barbara and Gordon Erickstad were brutally murdered in their Bismarck, North Dakota home. Episode 1, A Little Red Car, begins the story when 17-year-old Aimee walked into the police station with a chilling suspicion: her boyfriend, Brian, might have hurt his parents. A welfare check was meant to set things straight — but it only deepened the mystery. What had really happened inside the house on Sweet and Seventh, and where were Barbara and Gordon? Dakota Spotlight investigates this shocking small town murder through documentary style true crime reporting and interviews with those who lived it.
