In the summer of 1988, Jane Boroski was 22 years old. She was also seven months pregnant.

As she left the Cheshire Fair, she was stabbed 27 times in a convenience store parking lot. Boroski survived the attack alongside her unborn daughter. Now, she tells her story as the lone survivor of the Connecticut River Valley Killer on “Dark Valley.”

“Dark Valley,” from true crime podcast production company Crawlspace Media, offers insight into New Hampshire’s unsolved murders through the words of Boroski.

Lance Reenstierna and Tim Pilleri founded Crawlspace Media in 2017 with a single show about a New Hampshire missing-persons case. A second show followed, and in their research for the program, the two were continuously befuddled by the lack of coverage surrounding the series of attacks. Reenstierna grew up in Jaffrey and still has family in the area.

Jennifer Amell, the host and one of the producers of “Dark Valley,” came aboard full-time after working extensively with Crawlspace on a Jane Doe case in her Pennsylvania hometown. Her addition to the team, both in terms of knowledge and experience, allowed the media network to branch into the territory its founders had long been contemplating.

“We wanted to tackle some case that was close to us, like close to us as far as it meant something to us,” said Reenstierna. “A case that hadn’t been talked about, and one that had enough time between the events and now where we could apply some current technology to maybe create some movement, and [we] brought up the Connecticut River Valley murders and it just seemed to click.”

For Pilleri and Reenstierna, their upbringings in 1980s New England gave Boroski’s case a more-personal element. Growing up in the Monadnock region, south of the Connecticut River Valley, Reenstierna knew of the attacks in his youth.

“I’d heard of Jane’s attack when I was a kid,” he said. “It’s kind of surreal, but we saw all of these victims, all of these women, these young women, and no one was talking about them. That’s where it all kind of started.”

Amell, a former print journalist, has worked closely with Boroski to tell her story. The two have spent hours in libraries and archives researching the killer’s other victims and the details of each case. Amell is longtime fan of the medium, and it was ultimately Reenstierna and Pilleri who welcomed her into the world of podcasting.

“I just love podcasts and really wanted to get involved,” said Amell. “Tim and Lance are the ones that gave me a shot because I pitched them a story and they let me have a microphone. It’s pretty sweet.”

Having worked in breaking news as a journalist, branching into investigative coverage was a new venture.

“It’s been an amazing, rewarding, challenging experience covering all these cases,” said Amell. “I enjoy the mystery of everything, [and] I really enjoy doing deep-dive research. I am a detail-oriented person for the most part. I think that that suits me well for an endeavor like this.”

For Boroski, Dark Valley has been a way to facilitate growth and healing. Now removed from her attack by 35 years, she had just finished seven years of intensive counseling when she was approached for the project.

“They had come right at the perfect time and approached me about doing ‘Dark Valley,’” said Boroski. “The way that they wanted to do ‘Dark Valley’ and what they wanted to portray in it was exactly what I wanted.”

Boroski had also recently begun a different podcasting production with her close friend Amanda Bedard, “Invisible Tears,” which focused heavily on mental health. Bedard is featured in the second episode of “Dark Valley,” and is one of the many members of Boroski’s personal life to support her decision to participate in the project.

“A lot of people did have concerns about me and wanted to make sure that I was OK mentally,” said Boroski. “My relationship with Jen and Crawlspace has been awesome with the project. I could not have asked for better people to do this project with.”

Boroski and Amell work closely to establish origins and details on the other victims of the murderer. The pair also often collaborate with criminal profiler and lead investigator of the case, John Philpin.

Philpin had declined to participate in the production for two years until eventually getting onboard with the project.

“He’s deeply, deeply protective of Jane,” said Amell. “He didn’t want her to be taken advantage of and I really respect that about him.”

As Amell and Boroski grew closer through their work together, Boroski convinced Philpin to reconsider. It still took one year of speaking on the phone with Amell for Philpin to participate in the show.

“The guy’s a legend,” said Reenstierna. “And this is basically the one that got away for him, which adds another layer of purpose to the show.”

Boroski went 20 years after her attack without any counseling. Now, 35 years later, she is able to spread awareness of her attack and of those who were killed by the Connecticut River Valley Killer. The crew at Crawlspace Media has been sure to keep her well-being as their top priority.

“They always make sure that I’m OK, and that is so important to me,” said Boroski. “They are just genuinely caring people that care about my mental health, as well as care about getting the story out.”
