Welcome to True Crime Summer, our best true crime episodes.
In early 2008, an English teacher and his girlfriend were killed in an apartment fire. It was a turning point in the disparate expat community. Many of the charity and fundraising groups we see now started here. But is that the whole story?

We talk about Bill Kapoun and more mysterious passings in this episode.
