   Number 1: 266: The Monster With 21 Faces | Japan

   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. #TrueCrime #MonsterWith21Faces #Japan #UnsolvedMystery #ColdCase #EvidenceLocker Books: Read collections of The Evidence Locker Files, available in print and digital editions.

   Number 2: 264: Killer Clown, John Wayne Gacy | USA - Part 1

   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. #TrueCrime #JohnWayneGacy #RobertPiest #SerialKiller #Chicago #ColdCase #EvidenceLocker Books: Read collections of The Evidence Locker Files, available in print and digital editions.
