Sinisterhood

Four students leaving a party. A dark street. A short walk back to campus. But for one college freshman, the person trusted to walk her home seems to be the reason she was never seen again. For decades, the case lingered, the investigation changed hands, and it wasn’t until a renewed media scrutiny that arrests were made. Did authorities have their suspect from day 1? 

A horrific murder ripped through a Queens neighborhood and the killer was finally caught. After a failed defense, the murderer was sentenced to death, but that was not the end for him or for Kitty’s story. The case would go down in history, but did the newspapers and textbooks get the facts right? This story’s legacy was more than what was initially reported.

For 50 years, psychology textbooks used the tragic story of a murdered young woman to teach students about the devastating impact of inaction by neighbors. The magic number - 38 - was chosen by the media as the number of careless onlookers who heard the woman’s demise in real-time and did nothing. But the true story of what happened that night teaches us that even when there are bystanders, there...

Their fairytale wedding was an international event, but behind the scenes, the royal couple was anything but joyful. The Princess of Wales struggled to fit into her new role and found no support from her husband or his family. Even two beautiful children couldn’t save the doomed union. Especially when the marriage had an unwelcome third participant. 

A proper Lady, just nineteen years old. A 32-year-old prince who would be king. Their paths crossed and their destiny seemed set. Brought together in a fairytale wedding watched by millions around the world - was this storybook romance all it was cracked up to be?

A vibrant young woman on the verge of graduation. A horrific crime scene and seemingly random attack. Her co-worker survived to tell the police what happened, but did it all happen the way she claimed? Or was this other victim actually responsible for the horrible deed?

She had a job she loved, a lust for life, and was on her way to newfound freedom. But then she came home from work and found herself faced with a man hellbent on taking her life. Was this some random attacker or was the motive something more sinister? Support Sinisterhood

A charismatic leader with a Zen philosophy and a fitness model physique. A crowd of eager young disciples looking for a direct path to God. On the outside, this group had all the features of a Shangri-La society but on the inside, it became mandatory to worship the leader and submit to his every whim. Was this the blue print for a perfect society or really just an abusive cult? Support Sinisterhoo...
