Forum Communication鈥檚 Emmy award-winning documentary, 鈥淭he House on Sweet and Seventh,鈥� is now available to stream from your big screen through Tubi, with plans for availability on additional platforms in the near future.

The true crime documentary, which tells the twisted tale of a 1996 Bismarck double homicide, takes viewers through a chilling journey of how the crime was committed 鈥� and how the case was pieced together and solved by investigators.

Barbara and Gordon Erickstad were gruesomely killed in their Bismarck home by their 18-year-old son, Brian Erickstand, along with at least one accomplice, 27-year-old Robert Lawrence. Central to the case 鈥� and documentary 鈥� are the questions: Who was present at the time of the murder, and who knew the crime had been committed by Brian Erickstand and Robert Lawrence?

The answer will likely stun viewers.

Interviews with those who were present at the time of the gruesome crime, along with insight from investigators, paints the picture of a tight knit group of friends who placed loyalty above morality.

The creator, Dakota Spotlight podcast host James Wolner, first told the story through a six-part series on the Dakota Spotlight podcast. Based on the series, the documentary was created with WDAY photographer Derek Fletcher. While the video started out as bonus content for podcast listeners, Wolner and Fletcher quickly realized they were capturing something special.

鈥淒erek and I, from the very beginning, worked really well together,鈥� Wolner said. 鈥淲e had the same vision, ideas and passion. He鈥檚 an excellent photographer.鈥�

The teamwork and storytelling led to the 2021 regional Emmy award, following its airing on WDAY.

Now, with it available on Tubi, podcast listeners 鈥� and all those interested in true crime content 鈥� can stream it for free on the Tubi app.

The documentary鈥檚 debut on Tubi comes after behind-the-scenes work by those within Forum Communications to create and deliver content on an array of platforms.
