Promotional Spotlight: Beaver County Times’ Notorious Beaver County

Some residents of Beaver County still remember the horrific 1977 murders of Bill and Nancy Adams, at the hands of Edward Surratt. Others have only heard about this incomprehensible tragedy that rocked the idyllic community. This is just one of 13 episodes about a string of notorious serial killings in Beaver County and the surrounding area that will be featured on the Beaver County Times’ new WebTV series, Notorious Beaver County, debuting today, June 21. Each feature is five to ten minutes in length, and a new episode will be released every Wednesday.

The genesis of this project came from the newspaper’s success with a previous series on unsolved homicide cases, Cold Case Beaver County, which confirmed the public ‘s interest in, and appetite for, crime genre stories.

Local law enforcement authorities were incredibly gracious, and provided support, to those involved in making this series by allowing access to important records and research materials. The new series is hosted by Beaver County native, and forensic criminologist, Dr. Laura Pettler.
