In this episode, we will discuss the crime behind the psychological phenomenon Stockholm Syndrome. The crime takes place, ironically, in Stockholm in August of 1973. We just love 70’s true crime stories! The Norrmalmstorg robbery took place over 6 days and it was the first criminal event to be broadcasted live on Sweden’s television network.

In this episode, we merrily discuss crimes that have happened around the festive season, including Santa robbing a bank twice, spiking people's drinks and stealing Champagne. No wonder he's a jolly St. Nick!

Disclaimer: Mentions of theft, drugs, guns, violence. Santa being bad. Swearing as usual.

In this episode, we delve further into the life of Charles Sobhraj, also known as The Serpent.

We follow his journey from a petty thief to a notorious serial killer and scam artist, who targeted young backpackers travelling along the popular "hippie trail" in South-East Asia during the 1970s. We discuss the gem dealer alias 'Alain Gautier', Charles' connection with Marie Leclerc, and the multitude of individuals who fell victim to his crimes.

Part 1 to this episode covered the first 30 years of Charles' life - this part, part two, covers just one year, 1975 - 1976, but, as we will explore, it is a busy one!
