The Carnation Murders

Author: Emash Digital & Mike Ferguson, Mike Morford December 21, 2025 Duration: 53:33

In 2007, in Carnation, Washington, a terrible tragedy unfolded. When 61-year-old Judy Anderson didn't show up to work on December 26th, a friend and co-worker drove to her place. What she discovered was an unimaginable scene. Six members of the Anderson family, including Judy's husband Wayne, were found dead inside the home.

Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the Carnation murders. Three generations of the Anderson family had been murdered, and the police had to figure out who would want them dead. There was one family member missing; Wayne and Judy's daughter Michele Anderson. The authorities were shocked when they finally arrived at the truth of what happened inside that home.

Criminology is an Emash Digital production hosted by Mike Ferguson and Mike Morford. 


Each Saturday night, the details of history's most infamous crimes are unpacked and examined in Criminology. Hosts Mike Ferguson and Mike Morford move beyond the headlines to explore the full scope of a single case, from the initial events and investigation to the lasting impact and unanswered questions. Their approach is thorough, presenting the facts and narratives that have defined these well-known stories, yet they avoid sensationalism in favor of a clear-eyed analysis. You'll hear a methodical reconstruction of each episode's subject, providing context and perspective that goes deeper than a standard retelling. This true crime podcast is built for those who appreciate a detailed narrative, released consistently every weekend. The result is a engaging and thoughtful examination of criminal history, one famous case at a time. Tune in for a comprehensive dive into the annals of crime, where the focus is on understanding the how and why behind the stories we think we already know.
