Basque was a troubled nation. A history with rich culture and prestige, Basque had also seen its fair share of dark days that ultimately gave birth to the revolutionary group - ETA. Maria, also known as Yoyes, was a part of the same group and had reached a decent position within it before she left for her good. What was supposed to be a peaceful visit to her own country, the feeling of betrayal led to the game of cat and mouse that essentially led to the assassination of Maria "Yoyes" Doloras Katarain. Listen to this macabre tale where jealousy and miscommunication lead to a death of a wife and a mother, for no reason at all.

Revenge can turn a person blind with rage, especially if one has lost their entire family. Vitaly was a married man with 2 kids whom he loved to death. Since he had to visit different countries for work, his family would visit him there and spend with him. That's what happened on 1st July 2002. The family had boarded the Bashkirian flight 2937, hoping to see him but this was the same flight that crashed in Germany with no living souls. All Vitaly needed was an apology and he spent years, hoping to hear it from someone. But he had had enough. Taking matters into his hand, he decided to find the person who was responsible for the death of his entire family and breaking his heart and soul. Listen to this macabre tale of Vitaly Kaloyev and his attempt to find the one responsible for killing his entire family, by whatever means.

In Spain, in 1990 a body of a young girl was found hanging from a tree. On the front, the case was a pretty open-and-shut case but one thing kept the case from solving itself, the identity of the body. And for 32 years, no one knew who she was. It wasn't until an episode of a true crime show in Austria that the unidentified body was finally recognized and she was reunited with her family.

Almost all of us have a routine that we follow, whether consciously or subconsciously. When we are living with our families, our family time is spent having dinner together or maybe watching television. The Fukuoka Family was one such family of four, who lived together in a house in Japan. They might be happy, living their lives without worries until one dreadful night when, rather than expecting one member to enter the house, three more did, and decided to end the lives of all by murdering them one by one. What was supposed to be a night which filled their bank accounts, resulting in four murders and a case so rare, that it resulted in a clash between two countries? This is the Fukuoka Family Murder Case.

Entering foster care at just 10 days old, Jeong In was one of the lucky kids to get an adoptive family when she turned 8 months old. The family successfully created a façade that they were a healthy and a happy family but in reality, the family continuously abused the child. After suffering such brutal abuse for 8 months, things got so bad that at the age of 16 months the baby ultimately passed away. The case feels like one of the stories where the system and the people failed to protect the baby. But maybe because there have been numerous such cases reported in the country that the protests and the demand for her justice got way out of hand and the country was forced to change and rewrite some of its laws. This is the story of Jeong In from South Korea.
