In late March of 1922, the Gruber family and their maid were living quiet, isolated lives on a remote Bavarian farm known as Hinterkaifeck. But unsettling events began to break the silence. Footprints appeared in the snow leading to the home—none leaving. Keys vanished. Footsteps echoed from the attic, though no one should have been there. Days later, six bodies—Andreas and Cäzilia Gruber, their daughter Viktoria, her two children, and their new maid—were discovered brutally murdered.

A century later, the questions remain: Who stalked the Grubers in those final days? What compelled them to stay despite the signs of danger? And how did a killer live undetected on their farm after the murders, feeding livestock and eating meals as the bodies lay just yards away?

Join Chillworthy as we unravel the eerie timeline, dissect the most compelling theories—from vengeful neighbors to secret lovers and wandering soldiers—and explore why the Hinterkaifeck murders still haunt true crime investigators and paranormal enthusiasts alike.
