The Woodchipper and the New Year: The Murder of Helle Crafts
In the final days of 1986, while the world was preparing resolutions and fresh starts, one woman quietly vanished from her Connecticut home — and her disappearance would force American justice to confront an impossible question:
Can you prove a murder when there is no body?
This episode follows the chilling, meticulously documented case of Helle Crafts — a Danish flight attendant, mother of three, and woman who clearly saw danger coming… and tried to warn the people around her.
What investigators would eventually uncover — a missing freezer, strange purchases, the shoreline of a frozen lake, and fragments almost too small to comprehend — changed forensic history, legal precedent, and the way investigators think about “no-body” homicides forever.
HELLE CRAFTS
This isn’t a story about spectacle.
It’s a story about erasure — and the relentless people who refused to let that erasure hold.
