Murder in Mandan with Brian James O'Connell

Murder In Mandan

Feature film director Brian James O'Connell came across the case of a North Dakota man arrested for the brutal killing of four people in 2019, and became so intrigued that he traveled to North Dakota to attend part of the trial. On this episode of A Study Of Strange, Brian shares details of the bizarre case that shocked the city of Mandan, ND.

The alleged killer, Chad Isaak, professed during his trial that he was not the murderer, but all of the evidence pointed directly to Isaak. Evidence that includes security camera footage of a man with a distinct walk, just like Isaak's, the discovery of the murder weapons, blood on and in his truck, and more.


What makes this case even more strange is that there appears to be no motive. No connection with the killer to the victims.


Today we attempt to make sense of the senseless, and share recent news related to Chad Isaak.
