In recent years, cold cases that were solved through advances in science have been the main focus of popular documentary television shows such as Forensic Files and The New Detectives.
These shows highlight the unwavering precision of DNA evidence, often a stark contrast to the shaky, unreliable accounts of human witnesses. Science, after all, doesn’t forget or misremember.

But for every case where DNA delivers justice, there are many where crafty criminals find ways to outmaneuver it.Some killers wear gloves, wiping away fingerprints before they can betray them. Others destroy bodies to erase the telltale signs of their crimes, or move them far from the scene, creating a labyrinth for investigators to untangle.

And sometimes, they don’t even need to be smart—luck, decay, or the chaos of time does the dirty work, erasing evidence before anyone can even begin to collect it.When physical evidence fails, investigators must often turn to a far older, messier source of truth: the people!But people lie. They forget. They’re afraid. And sometimes, misplaced loyalty can make them guard the secrets of the guilty.

Yet, in the most unexpected of cases, time itself becomes an investigator. Circumstances shift. Consciences crack. And voices that were once silent—or deemed unreliable—suddenly rise to solve the unsolvable. That’s exactly what happened in the 1993 murder of Rayna Rison.

The case surrounding the death of Kim Wall and the subsequent trial of Peter Madsen is a harrowing tale of deception, violence, and the pursuit of justice. Here's a detailed summary of what happened:

1. Meeting and Disappearance: Kim Wall, an independent journalist, went missing after accepting an invitation from Peter Madsen, an eccentric inventor, to visit his workshop on August 10, 2017. She was last seen alive boarding Madsen's submarine, the UC3 Nautilus, for what was supposed to be a short trip around the bay near Copenhagen.
2. Discovery of the Submarine: When Kim failed to return, her boyfriend reported her missing to the police. The Danish Navy launched a search operation, and the Nautilus submarine was eventually found sinking in the bay. Madsen was rescued, but Kim was nowhere to be found.
3. Madsen's Conflicting Stories: Initially, Madsen claimed he had dropped Kim off safely, but his story quickly changed. He eventually admitted to the accidental death of Kim aboard the submarine, claiming she was killed when a hatch fell on her head. However, subsequent evidence contradicted his claims.
4. Discovery of Kim's Body Parts: Eleven days after Kim went missing, parts of her dismembered body began washing ashore on Amager Island. Further searches led to the discovery of more body parts, including her head and legs, all showing signs of mutilation.
5. Forensic Evidence and Investigation: Forensic examinations revealed that Kim had been stabbed multiple times and likely strangled to death. Investigators found incriminating evidence on Madsen's computer, including videos depicting violence and death.
6. Trial and Conviction: During the trial, Madsen changed his story multiple times, but the prosecution built a case against him based on evidence of premeditation, including his possession of tools used in dismemberment and his attempts to lure other women onto the submarine. Madsen was found guilty of murder, indecent handling of a corpse, and sexual assault, and was sentenced to life in prison.
7. Aftermath: Madsen's marriage to Jenny Curpen while in prison attracted media attention, with conflicting reports about the nature of their relationship. Emma Sullivan's documentary about Madsen, "Into the Deep," shed further light on the case but faced challenges in distribution.
