On December 23, 1989, in the quiet desert outskirts of Mesa, Arizona, a young woman's life was tragically cut short. 

A woman who had been swept up by romance and a whirlwind marriage, became the victim of a cold-blooded conspiracy orchestrated by her own husband and his older brother. 

What followed was a long legal battle, with Cindy’s family, particularly her younger sister Kathy, fighting tirelessly for justice. 

This week we discuss:  Murder, Motive, Appeals, Insurance Fraud

It's not THAT Bundy, calm yourself.

A serial killer is on the loose in Alaska.  

Authorities are stumped and a joint taskforce is set up with input from the FBI after one victim is found on Federal land.

The FBI profile was so very different to how the detectives had viewed the case so fare, they felt they had nothing to lose.

Maybe they should have been more cynical with only an 85% accuracy rate?

A family that on the surface lives the good life in Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina in South America.

Beneath the surface something is very wrong with the parents’ marriage and also how at least one son is being treated.

Was it a case of lashing out after years of abuse or was it about the money?

Years later there is involvement in political scandal, fraud and even today, there is no end in sight.

A very wealthy family living in a gated community with a glowing future ahead for the children.

The parents had expectations, do well in school, be an upstanding person, nothing too onerous.  Or were they?

What triggered the events of that night in 2015, an argument, resentment or a psychotic break?

He was odd from a very young age, seemingly brought up by a Grandfather and a carer as the parents were far too busy.

He became a voyeur at home, fuelled by his love of graphic films and comics.

When they no longer meet his needs, he turns to killing.

You think your elderly relative is being mistreated by their spouse.  Its possible that is true, its also possible a sibling is provoking you for their own reasons.

You decide to deal with the problem in the only way you can think of.  Doesn’t matter to you that other people are at the home and become collateral damage.

After all, it is All Hallows Day, they can enter heaven together.
