Episode 2 takes a closer look at the victims, especially at Eugen Siegrist, the owner of the cabin and most likely the main target of the assassination and we will look at the Friday, the day prior to the murder when some rather odd events occurred at Eugen's work place. We then try to establish a detailed account of the events as they could have enfolded on the fatal day in June.

On June 6, 1976 a 28 year old daughter finds her parents and aunt along with her two sons murdered at her father's remote weekend cabin in the Swiss countryside. All five victims showing at least one bullet hole in the forehead, hence were shot at point blank range. Apparently none tried to escape or intervene. Thirteen shell casings were found at the scene of the crime and the murdered couple's car, that the murderer/s used to escape, was located the same day 30 km away. The couple's son (20) became the prime suspect. Yet neither a motive nor the murder weapon could be found.

With the case being re-enacted as part of a television programme but not yielding new leads, the case went cold. That is until an altogether different investigation connected a new suspect to the Crystal Cave Murders in 1985. We take an in-depth look at the bizarre circumstances that gave the police new hope and we hear the account of the accused, who gave an interview for the first time after several years of silence and seclusion.

In Episode 5 we learn how the police approached the Television Programme ‘Case File XY unsolved’ which aired a detailed 10 minute reenactment of the murder case. The intention was to find new witnesses and spread the inquires across all German speaking countries. We look at the results and focus on the puzzling inconsistencies between facts and the reenacted details shown in the television programme.

Episode 4 focuses on the police investigation, their conclusions as to the nature and motive of the double murder and how the circumstances as well as additional testimonies by villagers lead them to four suspects. But as their continuous questioning lead to no confession and lacking convincing evidence, a murder weapon and even the site of the murders, they soon had to admit that they were facing a very complex case that soon proved to be clearly out of their league.
