In this episode of Obscure Crimes, I cover the case of the Papin sisters.

Christine and Lea Papin worked as maids for the Lancelin family. One night, during an argument with Madam Lancelin, the sisters snap. Christine and Lea tear apart their employer and her daughter, creating one of the most gruesome crime scenes imaginable. This case has inspired so much of the USA's horror-themed media, but how many people really know the truth behind this murder?

TW: The case of the Papin sisters is incredibly violent. Viewer discretion is advised.  

In this first episode of Obscure Crimes, I will be discussing the case of Katarzyna Zowada. 

In 1999, the crew of the Elk pusher boat noticed a strange material caught in their boat's propellers. After further investigation, the crew realized that this odd material was a suit made of twenty-three year Katarzyna Zowada's skin. Years of forensic analysis, theories, and speculation surround this infamous yet lesser-known homicide. Will authorities ever find out what really happened to Katarzyna Zowada? 

TW: This episode of Obscure Crimes involves topics such as suicide, depression, sexual assault, murder, and graphic descriptions.
