As a species, human beings strive to do great things. We wish to see our name in lights; to have our talents recognised and to live out our dreams. At the very least, all humans deserve a degree of recognition, even if it’s just from our friends and family. Someone else to know who we are, remember our name, and the good things we bring into the world. As a result, passing away in anonymity is a terrifying and tragic concept. But luckily, advances in technology have helped us shed some light on those who have passed away without a name, bringing some closure to their stories. In today’s episode of Cold Case Detective, we’ll be exploring four cases of Jane and John Does who were recently identified.

An exorcism is a religious or spiritual process which attempts to force an evil spirit or demon to leave a person or place which is believed to be possessed. It is an outdated, and at times, abhorrent practice, often born of a misunderstanding of mental illness, and has served to victimise or even criminalise the mentally ill. However, these cases do provide a fascinating insight into the way society and culture has evolved. To those of us who always seek a rational, empirically verifiable explanation for the world around us, that makes these cases that much more fascinating. In today's episode of Cold-Case Detective, we'll be exploring three instances of real-life exorcisms.

In the age of the internet and with the rise of online influencers, it’s all too easy for us to assume that what somebody is showing us is true. We are often led so deeply into the lives of our favourite online creators that we feel we know them, and we trust that they are who they say they are. It’s understandable, but this window into someone’s life is often manipulated, and not everybody is truthful. In fact, sometimes they harbour terrifying secrets, as we’ll soon discover in today’s episode of Cold Cases Detective, investigating 3 Disturbing Cases of Crimes That Started Online.

According to the FBI’s National Crime Information Centre, as of December 2019, there are over 87,000 active missing persons records, and their Uniform Crime Report estimates that the US had, as of 2019, around 250,000 unsolved murders. This number increases by about 6,000 each year. Looking at these astounding figures, it’s sad to think that the attention is so often exclusively given to a select group of cold cases, time and time again. Because of course, no case should slip through the cracks. No case should be forgotten about. But, sadly, many are. In today’s video, we aim to shed light on three cold cases that you’ve probably never heard of.
