The podcast episodes provided focus on several criminal investigations and unsolved cases that took place within the boundaries of Yosemite National Park, making the park a central location and a key part of the narrative.

The episodes detail the challenges faced by investigators, including false leads, recanted confessions, and the need for advanced DNA analysis and genetic genealogy to finally identify victims and move the cases forward, even decades later.

The unique terrain and isolation of the park played a significant role in these investigations, as illustrated in the episodes "Wild Crime: A Gruesome Discovery | S2 Ep. 1" and "Wild Crime: The Skull | S2 Ep. 3".
