June 21 261: The Breaking Bad Murder of Eva Bourseau | France
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.

June 07 260: The Unsolved Murder of Robert Wone | USA
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.

May 24 259: The Killing of Kirsty Bentley | New Zealand
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.

May 10 258: The Doppelganger Case of Adolf Beck | England
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.

April 27 257: The Mysterious Disappearance of Christine Walters | USA
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.

April 12 256: The ‘My Way’ Karaoke Killings | The Philippines
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.

March 22 255: The Real Twin Peaks Case: Murder of Hazel Drew | USA
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…

March 08 254: The Gang of Amazons | Russia
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.

February 08 252: The Vanishing of the Krnak Family | USA
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.
