Evidence Locker True Crime

269: The B1 Butcher | Namibia

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 17:04:00 +0000

In June 2007, the dismembered remains of 36-year-old Sanna Garoës appeared beside three roads leading out of Windhoek. Her death brought two unsolved murders from 2005 back into the headlines and gave Namibia a frightening name for a possible killer: the B1 Butcher. Then a fourth woman’s remains were found more than 400 kilometres away. Police announced her identity, only to discover that the woman they had named was alive. As investigators followed reports of DNA evidence and competing leads, a difficult question remained: which of these crimes, if any, belonged to the same person?

268: The Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe | USA

Evidence Locker True Crime — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 06:35:00 +0000

In October 1849, one of America's greatest writers was found delirious on the streets of Baltimore, wearing someone else's clothes and unable to explain how he had ended up there. Four days later, Edgar Allan Poe was dead. He was just 40 years old.
No death certificate survives, no autopsy was performed, and the medical records have long since disappeared. Over the past 175 years, countless theories have emerged, ranging from alcohol poisoning and disease to political election fraud, robbery and even murder.

267: The Lake Alleghe Murders | Italy

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 13 Sep 2026 18:44:00 +0000

In the small Italian village of Alleghe, high in the Dolomite Mountains, a series of deaths haunted the community for decades. What began in 1933 with the suspicious death of a young hotel waitress was followed by another unexplained death, then the brutal 1946 double murder of village baker Luigi Del Monego and his wife, Luigia.

At the centre of the mystery stood the Hotel Centrale, a powerful local family, and a silence that seemed almost impossible to break. When journalist Sergio Saviane tried to expose the truth, he was sued for defamation and sent to prison. Years later, a patient Carabinieri investigator finally cracked the case open.

266: The Monster With 21 Faces | Japan

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 18:44:00 +0000

In 1984, a mysterious criminal group calling itself "The Monster with 21 Faces" launched an unprecedented campaign of extortion against Japan's largest food manufacturers. Beginning with the kidnapping of a confectionery company president, the group taunted police and the media with mocking letters, threatened to poison popular sweets with cyanide, and spread fear throughout the country.
Despite one of the largest investigations in Japanese history, involving thousands of detectives, the elusive criminals repeatedly outsmarted authorities. Their brazen campaign caused millions in losses, shattered public confidence and remains officially unsolved more than four decades later.

265: Killer Clown, John Wayne Gacy | USA - Part 2

Evidence Locker True Crime — Mon, 17 Aug 2026 01:44:00 +0000

As investigators searched beneath John Wayne Gacy's home, they uncovered a crime scene unlike anything they had encountered before. Hidden within the crawlspace were the remains of dozens of young men and boys, exposing years of murder concealed behind the façade of an ordinary suburban life.

With the evidence mounting, Gacy confessed to a staggering number of killings before standing trial in one of the most infamous criminal cases in American history. Yet for many victims, identification would take decades, and questions still linger today.

264: Killer Clown, John Wayne Gacy | USA - Part 1

Evidence Locker True Crime — Mon, 03 Aug 2026 06:44:00 +0000

In December 1978, 15-year-old Robert Piest vanished after leaving work to meet a potential employer. His disappearance led investigators to John Wayne Gacy, a respected Chicago businessman, political volunteer and community entertainer known as "Pogo the Clown." At first, Gacy appeared cooperative, but detectives soon uncovered a disturbing pattern of missing young men connected to him.

As surveillance intensified, inconsistencies in Gacy's story mounted. Then investigators noticed a foul odour emanating from beneath his suburban home—a discovery that would change the course of the investigation forever.

263: The Bizarre Lead Masks Case | Brazil

Evidence Locker True Crime — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 18:44:00 +0000

In August 1966, two electronics technicians climbed a hill overlooking Rio de Janeiro and were never seen alive again. Days later, their bodies were discovered lying side by side, dressed in suits, waterproof coats and strange homemade lead eye masks. There were no signs of violence, no clear cause of death and almost no clues—only cryptic notes, an empty water bottle and a mystery that has baffled investigators for decades. #TrueCrime #UnsolvedMystery #LeadMasksCase #Brazil #EvidenceLocker #ColdCase #Occult #UFO #Mystery #Podcast

In January 1977, two young women, Suzanne Armstrong and Susan Bartlett, were brutally murdered inside their Melbourne home, while Suzanne's 16-month-old son was found alive nearby. The shocking crime became one of Australia's most enduring unsolved murder cases.
For nearly five decades, investigators pursued countless leads with little success. Then, an extraordinary breakthrough revived the investigation and led to an arrest on the other side of the world.

261: The Breaking Bad Murder of Eva Bourseau | France

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 21 Jun 2026 18:04:00 +0000

Eva Bourseau, 23, was murdered in her Toulouse apartment on 26 July 2015 by two students, Taha Mrani Alaoui and Zakariya Banouni, over a drug debt. Her body was submerged in hydrochloric acid in a plastic trunk — a method inspired by the TV series Breaking Bad. Discovered by firefighters after her mother raised the alarm, the case shocked France and made international headlines. After a 15-day trial at the Cour d'Assises de Haute-Garonne in December 2018, Taha was sentenced to 30 years and Zakariya to 25 years. The case remains one of France's most disturbing student crime cases.

260: The Unsolved Murder of Robert Wone | USA

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 18:40:00 +0000

On August 2, 2006, Washington D.C. attorney Robert Eric Wone was stabbed to death inside the Dupont Circle townhouse of his college friend Joseph Price. Three housemates – Price, Victor Zaborsky, and Dylan Ward – were home at the time. Evidence suggested the crime scene had been staged, and that Wone had been drugged and sexually assaulted before his death. All three men were acquitted of obstruction of justice charges in 2010. A civil wrongful death suit was settled in 2011. No one has ever been charged with Wone's murder. The case remains unsolved.

259: The Killing of Kirsty Bentley | New Zealand

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 24 May 2026 18:40:00 +0000

On New Year's Eve 1998, fifteen-year-old Kirsty Bentley vanished while walking her Labrador, Abby, near the Ashburton River in Canterbury, New Zealand. Seventeen days later, her body was found hidden in dense scrub at Camp Gully, Rakaia Gorge, 40 kilometres away. She had been killed by a single blow of blunt force trauma to the head. Despite decades of investigation under Operation Kirsty, hundreds of suspects interviewed, a 2016 coroner's inquest, and a $100,000 reward offered in 2022, no one has ever been charged. New Zealand's most haunting cold case murder remains unsolved.

258: The Doppelganger Case of Adolf Beck | England

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 10 May 2026 18:44:00 +0000

In 1895, a Swedish man named Adolf Beck was stopped on a London street by a woman who accused him of swindling her out of her jewellery. Police quickly connected him to a string of similar frauds — and to a man named John Smith, convicted of identical crimes in 1877. Over a dozen victims picked Beck out of line-ups. He was convicted at the Old Bailey and sentenced to seven years' hard labour. The problem: he wasn't John Smith. He wasn't any of it. Eight years later, still protesting his innocence, Beck was convicted again — for the exact same type of fraud. Only when the real culprit was arrested mid-crime did the truth finally surface. We explore how a face so ordinary it could belong to anyone sent an innocent man to prison twice, and what the case of Émilie Sagée tells us about the ancient human terror of the double.

257: The Mysterious Disappearance of Christine Walters | USA

Evidence Locker True Crime — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 02:04:00 +0000

In November 2008, 23-year-old Christine Lindsey Walters left her hotel room in Eureka, California, in her pyjamas, to collect identity documents from a nearby copy centre. She was trying to get home to Wisconsin. She never made it.

A junior studying botany and ethnobotany at the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point, Christine had come to Humboldt County for a planned three-week holiday. She stayed, drawn to the area's natural beauty and a spiritual community. One week before she vanished, she participated in an illegal ayahuasca ceremony. Days later, she was found naked and covered in briar scratches on a stranger's doorstep, speaking of demons. She tested negative for drugs, was discharged, and began making plans to fly home. She was last seen on November 14, walking away from a copy centre on I Street, Eureka. Her belongings and untouched bank funds were later recovered. She has never been found.

256: The ‘My Way’ Karaoke Killings | The Philippines

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 18:44:00 +0000

Frank Sinatra's "My Way" became one of the deadliest songs in history — not on a battlefield, but in the karaoke bars of the Philippines. Between 1998 and 2018, at least a dozen people were killed in disputes linked to the song, in incidents dubbed the "My Way Killings." Victims were shot for singing off-key, stabbed over microphone disputes, and killed for daring to claim the song as theirs. The killings prompted bar owners to ban the song outright, drew international media attention, and sparked debate about karaoke culture, Filipino identity, and the role of pride and alcohol in public violence.

In the sweltering summer of 1908, 20-year-old domestic servant Hazel Drew was found floating face-down in Teal's Pond, New York. Her skull had been crushed by repeated blows. A corset string wrapped around her throat. The investigation revealed a web of secrets, political corruption, and powerful men with much to hide. More than a century later, this unsolved murder would inspire Twin Peaks – and after 113 years, researchers finally believe they've solved the case that captivated a nation…

254: The Gang of Amazons | Russia

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 17:44:00 +0000

On a quiet September night in 2013, a routine traffic stop on the outskirts of Aksai unraveled a mystery that had haunted southern Russia for years. A violent shootout led police to a forest campsite, and what they uncovered was more than just weapons.
The suspects were not professional hitmen or members of a paramilitary group. They were a family. A mother, her daughters, and her husband. Their crimes spanned nearly a decade: home invasions, execution-style killings, ambushes on police officers. Dozens of stolen items linked them to victims across Rostov Oblast and beyond.
They would become known in the media as the Gang of Amazons.
In this episode, we examine the investigation that connected seemingly random crimes to a single group, delve into the backgrounds of the perpetrators, and follow the trial that brought their reign of terror to an end.

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 17:44:00 +0000

Between September 2003 and April 2006, Wisconsin prosecutors built one of the most challenging murder cases in the state's history: proving a family annihilation without bodies, a crime scene, or eyewitnesses.
In July 1998, Allen Krnak, his wife Donna, their son Thomas, and the family dog vanished without a trace after leaving for a Fourth of July weekend at their cabin. When their truck was found wiped clean with thousands of unexplained miles, investigators knew this was no ordinary disappearance.
The discovery of Allen's remains 800 miles away in North Carolina would reveal a horrifying truth about betrayal and greed. But Donna and Thomas remain missing to this day, their bodies never recovered from the mountains where they were likely disposed of.

On a windy January day in 1965, two fifteen-year-old best friends walked into the sand dunes at Wanda Beach near Sydney. They never came home. What followed was one of the largest investigations in Australian history, yet the killer vanished without a trace. Sixty years later, three suspects have emerged, but no one has ever been charged. Was it a teenage surfer, a serial killer, or someone far more sinister?

Evidence Locker True Crime — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 05:44:00 +0000

Between 1959 and 1987, a series of brutal attacks in the forests and lakesides of Finland and Sweden left multiple victims dead – and investigators haunted by their similarities. From Tulilahti and Lake Bodom to Appojaure and the deck of the Viking Sally, the victims were ordinary people, asleep and vulnerable, when violence struck without warning. Some cases were solved. Most weren’t.
What links these murders? Could they be the work of the same person, or do they reveal something darker about the illusion of safety in the wild?
This is a special episode that brings together cases previously featured on Evidence Locker, uncovering the patterns, suspects, and unanswered questions that continue to grip true crime researchers to this day.

Nordic Campsite Killings 3: The Tent Murders at Lake Appojaure - Revisited

Evidence Locker True Crime — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 00:11:00 +0000

In July 1984, beneath Sweden’s midnight sun, a remote campsite near Lake Appojaure became the scene of a brutal double murder. Dutch tourists Marinus and Janny Stegehuis were stabbed to death as they slept in their tent, an attack that shocked the nation and remains unresolved.
This episode marks a milestone for The Evidence Locker: released in celebration of our 250th episode, it is also a remastered re-release of our very first case. We revisit the Appojaure tent killings, the failed investigation, and the later false confession by Thomas Quick, whose story collapsed under forensic scrutiny.
Decades on, the truth remains buried in the wilderness, and the real killer has never been identified.

Nordic Campsite Killings 2: Lake Bodom Murders - Revisited

Evidence Locker True Crime — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 00:11:00 +0000

In the summer of 1960, four teenagers went camping at Lake Bodom. In the pre-dawn hours, an unknown assailant attacked them inside their tent, slashing them with a knife and hitting them with a blunt object. Of the four, only 18-year-old Nils Gustafsson survived, narrowly escaping death. 45 years later, he was charged with killing his friends, but acquitted. To this day, the mystery of what happened at Lake Bodom on that sultry night haunts the people of Finland.

249: The Mysterious Murder of Julia Wallace

Evidence Locker True Crime — Mon, 29 Dec 2025 01:12:00 +0000

On a winter evening in 1931, a soft-spoken insurance agent was lured from his Liverpool home by a strange telephone message. The address he searched for didn’t exist. By the time he returned, his wife had been brutally murdered. Who was the caller? Was the alibi a masterstroke of deception? Or did someone exploit the perfect opportunity?
Tried. Convicted. Acquitted.
Nearly a century later, the murder of Julia Wallace remains one of the most baffling cases in British criminal history.

The North Pole Slaying Plot - Foiled | Alaska (Revisited)

Evidence Locker True Crime — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 01:25:00 +0000

Every December, thousands of letters addressed to Santa are sent to North Pole, Alaska. Boxes full of letters are then sent to North Pole Middle School, where they are included in the 6th Grade curriculum: North Pole’s 11 and 12-year-olds are nominated as Santa’s little helpers and reply to all the letters on Santa’s behalf.
But in April 2006, the peace in this snow globe of a town was shattered when six 7th Graders hatched a plan to kill their classmates. The would-be attackers had drawn up a “naughty list” of kids at school that they wanted to murder in one violent, coordinated attack. Just the previous year, they were acting as elves, writing letters to other children all over the country. A couple of months later, they were gearing up to be monsters.

248: The Orderud Murders | Norway

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 14 Dec 2025 17:40:00 +0000

In May 1999, three members of the Orderud family were found shot to death in their home in rural Norway. The victims — Kristian and Marie Orderud and their daughter Anne — had been killed in the dead of night in what appeared to be a cold and calculated execution. Despite four people being convicted of complicity, no one has ever been held legally responsible for pulling the trigger. What followed was one of the most controversial criminal cases in modern Norwegian history. In this episode, we unpack the family tensions, forensic mysteries, legal battles, and lingering questions that still surround the Orderud case today.

247: The Vampire of Bucharest | Romania

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 17:14:00 +0000

Between 1970 and 1971, a series of brutal murders terrified the streets of Bucharest. The victims were mostly women — attacked at night, bitten, and mutilated. Their killer became known as The Vampire of Bucharest.
His crimes were frenzied and disturbing, leaving investigators to wonder whether they were dealing with a deranged killer or a man driven by superstition and obsession. He broke into homes, assaulted his victims, and sometimes drank their blood. When police finally caught him, the case exposed deep social anxieties in communist Romania — about violence, repression, and the darkness beneath a society that demanded silence.
Listen now to uncover the true story behind Romania’s most infamous serial killer.

246: Fugitive Mom, Dorothy Lee Barnett | USA/Australia

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 16 Nov 2025 17:24:00 +0000

In 1994, a custody dispute in South Carolina ended with a mother vanishing with her infant daughter. Dorothy Lee Barnett, accused of violating a court order, disappeared without a trace — along with 11-month-old Savannah.
For nearly two decades, the pair lived under new identities across the world — first in Europe, then South Africa, then Australia — as authorities searched for clues. In 2013, an international investigation finally uncovered the truth. Dorothy had been living as Alexandria Maria Canton, and Savannah, now a young woman, had grown up unaware of her past.
The case became one of the most remarkable parental abduction stories in modern history — a tale of love, fear, deception, and the long reach of justice.
Listen now to hear the full story of the mother who fled across the world — and the daughter who never knew.

245: The Butcher of Mons: Belgium’s Unsolved Suitcase Murders | Belgium

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 02 Nov 2025 17:44:00 +0000

Between 1996 and 1997, the dismembered remains of at least five women were found stuffed in garbage bags and dumped inside suitcases around the Belgian city of Mons. The killer, who came to be known as Le Dépeceur de Mons — The Butcher of Mons — has never been identified.
The murders shocked the quiet provincial city and left investigators chasing one of the most disturbing unsolved serial murder cases in Belgian history. Decades later, questions still linger: Who was the Butcher of Mons, and why did he choose to scatter his victims’ remains along roads with names that translated to words like Hate, Fear, and Anxiety?
Listen now to uncover the story of Belgium’s most haunting cold case.

The Black Magic Murders (Adolfo Constanzo) | Mexico - Revisited

Evidence Locker True Crime — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 05:44:00 +0000

In celebration of Halloween, this week’s episode is a re-release of one of our first episodes - still chilling...
Adolfo Constanzo, also known as El Padrino (or the Godfather), was the leader of a cult that believed that Black Magic would shield their drug cartel from being busted. Adolfo encouraged human sacrifice, and countless people fell victim to the cult, later dubbed the Narcosatanists. When American medical student Mark Kilroy disappeared after a night out in Matamoros, the cult’s sadistic activities finally came to light.

244: The Halloween Candy Killer, Ronald O'Brien | USA

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 19 Oct 2025 17:00:00 +0000

On Halloween night in 1974, eight-year-old Timothy O’Brien came home from trick-or-treating in Deer Park, Texas, excited to sample his candy haul. Among the treats was a Pixy Stix — one that would become infamous in American true crime history. Within hours, Timothy was dead, poisoned by cyanide.
Investigators soon discovered that the killer wasn’t a mysterious stranger slipping poison into Halloween candy. It was someone much closer to home — his own father, Ronald Clark O’Brien. His crime forever changed the way parents across the United States viewed Halloween, giving rise to decades of fear over tampered sweets.

243: Diary of a Death Factory (Vlakplaas) | South Africa

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 05 Oct 2025 17:40:00 +0000

For nearly two decades, a nondescript farm outside Pretoria was the epicenter of South Africa’s most covert and brutal campaign of state-sponsored terror. Known as Vlakplaas, it served as headquarters for a police death squad targeting anti-Apartheid activists. Under the leadership of Colonel Dirk Coetzee and later Eugene de Kock – dubbed “Prime Evil” – Vlakplaas was responsible for countless abductions, torture, and murders masked by secrecy and political protection.

241: The Cursed Viking Sally | Baltic Sea

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 07 Sep 2025 18:44:00 +0000

In the 1980s, the MS Viking Sally ferry became synonymous with tragedy and terror on the Baltic Sea. What began as a luxurious passenger vessel soon earned a sinister reputation when two brutal murders occurred on board just one year apart—in 1986 and 1987. The ship that was meant to provide safe passage between Finland and Sweden instead became the scene of unspeakable violence, earning it the nickname "the cursed ship." But the Viking Sally's dark legacy didn't end there.

The vessel would later be renamed the MS Estonia and become the site of one of Europe's worst maritime disasters, claiming 855 lives in 1994. In this episode, we explore the chilling murders that haunted the Baltic waters, the botched investigations that followed, and the tragic fate of a ship that seemed destined for disaster from the very beginning.

Ireland’s Vanishing Triangle is an area around Dublin from where multiple women have mysteriously vanished in the 1990s. Most of the cases have the same characteristics and remain unsolved. Were they taken by a serial killer? Irish Police created Operation Trace in 1998 to actively solve the disappearances but have not been able to do so. A €10,000 reward has been offered for information resulting in the recovery of a body, as it is presumed that the victims are no longer alive.

Four nurses, who would later be dubbed the "Angels of Death," had been systematically killing patients for years.

234: The Hammersmith Ghost Murder | England

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 01 Jun 2025 18:04:00 +0000

In January 1804, the quiet village of Hammersmith descended into fear over reports of a ghost haunting the streets—believed to be the restless spirit of a suicide victim. This wave of panic took a tragic turn when excise officer Francis Smith, convinced he had encountered the ghost, fatally shot Thomas Millwood, an innocent man. The shocking incident sparked one of the earliest legal debates over mistaken belief as a defense for murder. This episode unpacks the chilling tale, the grip of superstition on the community, and the case’s enduring influence on British criminal law – reaching a pivotal reinterpretation nearly 180 years later.

In 1974, the quiet suburban town of Amityville, New York, was rocked by a horrifying crime.

217: The Freeway Killers | USA – Part 2

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 13 Oct 2024 20:30:00 +0000

The Freeway Killer was a collective epithet given by the media and the police to what the media initially believed was a single serial killer claiming young male victims, predominantly in California during the 1970s and early 1980s, and who often discarded the victims' bodies alongside freeways.
However, there turned out to be multiple Freeway Killers who operated independently of each other but just happened to select similar victims from similar locations.

197: Lazarus | North Korea

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 16 Oct 2022 20:30:00 +0000

In November 2014, Sony Pictures fell victim to a massive cyber-attack. This attack was in retaliation to the release of the film The Interview, starring Seth Rogen and James Franco – a comedy about a plot to assassinate the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un.
In February 2016, the central bank of Bangladesh suffered a similar attack. The meticulously planned cyber-heist spanned multiple countries, using different time zones, and leveraging public holidays and loopholes in country-specific laws. The FBI believed that a North Korean, state-sponsored, hacking organisation called The Lazarus Group was responsible for both cyber-attacks. But what can be done to stop them from doing it again?

The case was re-opened and investigators unearthed so much more than just one murder… Ismo Junni was a violent serial killer who kept a tooth from each victim as a trophy.

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 18 Sep 2022 21:30:00 +0000

Between 1917 and 1922, the residents of a small French town were terrorised by an anonymous letter writer who exposed secrets and made allegations. Each letter was signed: ‘The Eye of the Tiger’. The rumour mill was churning at a diabolical rate – careers ended, marriages became strained and eventually, two people lost their lives. Investigators took five years to unmask the author, a local secretary by the name of Angèle Laval. This poison pen letter case became known as the Raven of Tulle Affair.

On the morning of 16 May 2008, the body of 13-year-old Aarushi Talwar was found in her bed. She had suffered an injury to the head and her killer had slit her throat.

But then they found his body on a rooftop terrace – he had been killed in exactly the same way as Aarushi. The double murder became one of India’s most puzzling cases, making people wonder what really happened that dreadful night inside the Talwar’s apartment.

Karol Kot created a suffocating atmosphere of fear in Kraków in the 1960s. No one suspected a young, clean-shaven boy fresh out of high school to be the prowling beast. Before his 21st birthday, Kot was guilty of two murders, ten attempted murders and four instances of arson. After stabbing his victims, he licked the blood off the knife’s blade, earning him the moniker of The Vampire of Kraków. Psychologists deemed his criminal mind to be the sort that only emerges once in a couple of million.

Thériault promised his loyal followers that he would save them from the apocalypse.

But the Ant Hill Kids Cult was a dangerous and violent commune, under the rule of a violent alcoholic, one of the cruellest sadists in Canadian criminal history: Roch Thériault.

The body of socialite Ghislaine Marchal was found inside her home in Mougins. She had been bludgeoned to death. She seemed to have left a clue, written in her own blood: Omar m’a tuer – Omar killed me. Omar was her gardener. What was curious was a grammatical error in the phrase. Why would a native French speaker like Ghislaine Marchal make such a mistake in her last moments alive? Did someone else write the clue, hoping to frame an innocent man?

Because cruise ships mostly operate in international waters, there is no police force on board. Security guards keep the peace, but they do not have any policing power. Disney Wonder employee, Rebecca Coriam was recorded on CCTV footage, frazzled and distraught, making a phone call on an internal phone. She was never seen again.

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 10 Oct 2021 20:30:00 +0000

In 1987, Singapore police were informed about a grisly murder that took place three years before. According to the informant, three men had killed a caretaker in an Orchard Road church and dismembered his body. They cooked his remains into a curry, then scooped it into black plastic bags and went about disposing of it across town, in various public trash cans. Did this actually happen, or was it all a sick hoax? Or was it perhaps the perfect murder?

Athens police arrested a local taxi driver, on suspicion of murder. To their surprise, he confessed that it was not his first murder. Between 1987 and 1996, Dimitris Vakrinos murdered five people and attempted to kill another seven. He killed or attacked anyone who crossed him, no matter who they were. Because of his varied methods of murder and the fact that his victims were all different, police were unaware that a serial killer was active in the ancient city.

154: The Murder of Dr Helen Davidson | England

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 22 Aug 2021 21:30:00 +0000

On a gloomy November afternoon in 1966, 49-year-old Dr Helen Davidson, a beloved GP, was bashed to death in Hodgemoor Wood while birdwatching. Her body was found the following day and as soon as news of her murder hit her hometown the rumour mill began to churn. Who would kill the beloved doctor? Did she stumble across something she shouldn’t have seen? Or was the murder personally motivated – what was at play: jealousy, vengeance perhaps? To this day, the case with more suspects than convictions remains unsolved. It is a true murder mystery, a whodunnit that played out rather more like an Agatha Christie mystery than a real-life crime.

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 25 Jul 2021 21:30:00 +0000

In the month of July, we are celebrating Evidence Locker’s third birthday and our 150th episode. For the last episode in our Blockbuster series, we explore the true crime case behind the Australian Noir film, Snowtown.
John Bunting, Robert Wagner and James Vlassakis committed a series of brutal murders in Adelaide between 1992 and 1999. The remains of eight victims were found in six acid-filled barrels in a disused bank vault in the small town of Snowtown, which is why the case is known as Snowtown (or the 'Bodies in the Barrels' case). A possible 12 people lost their lives to the group, who were on a mission to ‘cleanse’ society. Their victims were all known to them: neighbours, friends, family…

Warning:

This episode contains references to child abuse and details of severe torture of adult victims by homophobic killers and would not be suitable for sensitive listeners.

In the month of July, we are celebrating Evidence Locker’s third birthday and our 150th episode. With this in mind, we decided on a Blockbuster theme. This week we look into the true crime case behind Steven Spielberg’s film, Munich. Palestinian militant group Black September took nine 11 members of the Israeli Olympic team hostage during the Summer Olympics of 1972. The world watched as events unfolded, and it ended in the death of all the hostages and a German police officer, as well as five of the eight terrorists. To avenge their murders, Operation Wrath of God was born, a covert mission to take out everyone who had played a part in the Munich Massacre.

Phoolan Devi’s family arranged her marriage to a man three times her age when she was only 11 years old.

She fell in love with one of the gang members, but he was killed in gang related conflict. She was kidnapped and gang raped over a period of three weeks. When she escaped, she got her own gang together. They marched into the village where she was kept captive and took 30 men, lined them up on the riverbank and shot them all.

Although she surrendered and served 11 years in prison, Phoolan Devi did not stop fighting for justice. She eventually became a member of parliament for two terms before she was gunned down in front of her New Delhi home.

Evidence Locker True Crime — Sun, 13 Jan 2019 20:30:00 +0000

Norway in the 1990s was to Black Metal what Seattle was to Grunge. These guys took the fear and lack of respect for the dead (and the living for that matter) to the next level. Their concerts were frightening, but their fans loved it. To become recognised as a movement, the Norwegian ‘Black Circle’ decided it was time to take the terror off the stage and into society.

When the two leaders of the Black Metal scene in Norway went head to head, a confrontation ended up in the death of legendary lead guitarist Øystein Aarseth aka Euronymous.
