They were just driving down a quiet country road when they saw a 12-year-old girl stumbling out of the darkness, barefoot, disoriented, intoxicated, and very much alone. In a place where nothing ever happens, something unspeakable already had. What she would tell authorities would unravel a story so disturbing it would leave an entire community reeling. Behind a closed door, inside a home no one t...

A village that believed it was insulated from the darker edges of the world. But in the stillness of a Buckinghamshire night, that illusion shattered and there is a brutal murder that today people still don't want to talk about. Enjoy or...

She married the money, the suits, the skyline.the soft hum of a credit card sliding through endless tomorrows was what got her wet. While he married the smile, the legs you needed a ladder to climb and her proess in the bedroom. The woman who once wore Switzerland like a sash across her perfect shoulders. But fortunes rot. Careers collapse. Champagne turns flat. And when the glamour starts to crac...

The Moors Murders weren’t crimes of impulse. They were methodical. Patient. Almost rehearsed. In the grey sprawl of 1960s Manchester, Ian Brady and Myra Hindley didn’t just steal children they stole innocence and buried it in the bleak, wind-whipped emptiness of Saddleworth Moor. Tape recordings. Calculated lures. A peroxide smile that became the face of evil in Britain. They hunted vulnerability...

California in the 1970s had beaches, redwoods… and Herbert Mullin. While everyone else was worrying about inflation and pyramid power, Mullin was convinced he’d been personally recruited by the universe to prevent earthquakes. His solution? Human sacrifice.

Robert Berdella fancied himself a collector. Not stamps. Not coins. Not vintage vinyl. But young Men. He lured them into his Kansas City home with promises of food, shelter, a place to crash and then documented their torture with the kind of obsessive note taking most people reserve for dieting or fantasy football. If there were a frequent flyer programme for depravity, Berdella would’ve been plat...

Easter. A day of resurrection. Of hope. Of fresh starts and pastel-coloured lies we tell children about rabbits and redemption. But not every story ends with a stone rolled away. In this episode we look at seven murders that unfolded under the shadow of Easter that turned a holy day into a crime scene. While church bells rang and families gathered for roast dinners, somewhere else, someone was dig...

Baton Rouge had its share of monsters, but Sean Gillis wasn’t the loud, headline-hunting kind. No frantic manhunts. No media circus. Just a quiet little man with a camera, a compulsion, and a hobby that makes taxidermy look wholesome.
