It's a Throwback Wednesday! Let's revisit "The Family" from Season 3! 

One of the few cults led by a female was known as “The Family” founded by Anne Hamilton-Byrne in 1963 in Melbourne, Australia. "The Family" combined Christian, Hindu, and New Age ideas with the use of psychedelic drugs and the belief that doomsday was near. Anne and her followers raised children they felt would be leaders in the next world. She acquired 28 children, about half of them stolen from psychiatric hospitals and raised them in such a spine tingling way. Was justice served? Where are these children today? Stay tuned...

The cruise ferry “Viking Sally” has more dark history than some empires.
In 1994, the cruise liner M/S Estonia sank, taking hundreds of lives with it to the bottom of the Baltic Sea.
What most people don’t know is that seven years before it’s sinking, the same ship (then known as Viking Sally) was the scene of the unsolved murder of Klaus Schlekle and attempted murder of Bettina Taxis who were on an overnight ferry trip from Sweden to Finland.

For Years a Boy Hung a Picture on His Wall Not Realizing it was of his Mother's Killer

On September 3, 1981, Linda Slaten lived with her sons, 15-year-old Jeff and 12-year-old Tim in Lakeland FL. On that day, Tim went to football practice before heading to a party next door. By the next morning, Linda would be dead. It would take 41 years to name the killer that haunted the boys for years...and it was the person they least suspected.

Here's your Judgy Shorty:
Have you been hearing that ice cream shops are now open? Us too! Except this shop in particular is thankfully closed. This cold-blooded Austrian murderess had more than just ice cream in her freezer and is now housed in an all-male insane asylum, much too dangerous to be housed among females.

It's our 100th episode, ya'll!!!
Today's case is near and dear to Claudia's heart and "what got her into true crime" and obsessed with unsolved cases. 
A series of 7 girls disappeared without a trace from her hometown of Bremerhaven, Germany and surrounding towns between 1977-1986 after going to or coming from the Discotheque. To this day the disappearances of Anja Beggers, Anke Schreckenbach, Christina Bohle, Anja Kielmann, Jutta Schneefuss, Andrea Martens and Irene Warnke remain unsolved. I also want to mention that all these women are presumed murdered....no bodies were ever found, except for Irene Warnke, however,  her murder also remains unsolved.
If you have any information about either of these cases you can call the Cuxhaven Police Tip Line at 04721/573200 or you can send an email to [email protected]

Imagine your father dies and you have to clean out the house, including a garage that he rented and you find several body parts in two blue plastic barrels. But your dad couldn't have done this, because he was a great father and he was always so helpful to everyone around him....this happened to the daughter of Manfred Seel, who was a suspected serial killer in Germany. He is believed to have committed five to nine murders in the Frankfurt Rhine-Main area between 1971 and 2004.

Listeners discretion is advised! Please know that much of the information about this case is disturbing. Child murder, dismemberment and potential cannibalism show up in telling Tristan's story. 
On March 26th, 1998, 13 year-old Tristan Brübach went to school (in the Höchst district of Frankfurt). It was the day before Easter break and he had tried to get out of going to school, telling his father he needed to see a doctor, because his back hurt, but his father sent him to school anyway. He would be in school for most of that day, but early that afternoon, Tristan was given permission by a teacher to leave school to see a doctor. Using public transportation, Tristan headed to a nearby train station... where  he ended up sitting around for several hours. Classmates would later say that he looked like he was waiting for someone. Hours later, in the early evening, the body of Tristan Brübach was found in a nearby tunnel. He had become the victim of a bizarre and savage killer, who has not been identified in the 25 years since... 

If you have any information regarding this case, you can contact Frankfurt Police at: 49-069-755-51108 or 49-069-755-53111.
