Operation Night Cat

What it is about

A Fish and Game warden follows a tip to someone’s backyard. He finds a twisted game of one-upmanship, digital trophy rooms, and one of the biggest poaching cases in recent state history. Then, the hunting investigation takes a surprising turn when it reveals another set of potential crimes – this time, behind the brick walls of New Hampshire’s State Prison for Men. Host Nate Hegyi has spent the past year digging into what happened next. “Operation Night Cat” is a special three-part series from NHPR’s Document team and Outside/In.
