A team of Italian thieves bypassed multiple layers of security inside the Antwerp World Diamond Centre and escaped with an estimated $100 million in diamonds, gold, and jewelry.

In this episode of Brutal, Bizarre, and Boozy, Deklan dives into the chilling case of the Gilgo Beach Killer, also known as the Long Island Serial Killer.
