    219: The Oslo Plaza Woman | Norway
    Nov 10 2024
    June 3rd, 1995, the Oslo Plaza Hotel witnessed a chilling incident that remains one of Norway's greatest unsolved mysteries. Security guard Espen Nass discovered the lifeless body of a woman, identified as Jennifer Fairgate, in room 2805. Initially deemed a suicide, unusual evidence suggested otherwise. Nearly 30 years on, her identity remains a mystery, much like the unsolved cases of the Isdal Woman and the Cambo Man.

  • 217: The Freeway Killers | USA – Part 2

    217: The Freeway Killers | USA – Part 2
    Oct 13 2024
    The Freeway Killer was a collective epithet given by the media and the police to what the media initially believed was a single serial killer claiming young male victims, predominantly in California during the 1970s and early 1980s, and who often discarded the victims' bodies alongside freeways.
    However, there turned out to be multiple Freeway Killers who operated independently of each other but just happened to select similar victims from similar locations.

    216: The Freeway Killers | USA
    Oct 1 2024
    In this episode, we delve into the chilling cases of California’s Freeway Killers, a group of serial murderers who terrorized the state’s highways in the 1970s. This episode focuses on the reign of Patrick Kearney, also known as the Trash Bag Killer, and William Bonin, whose dark and methodical murders left a trail of devastation. We explore how investigators slowly unravelled the horrifying pattern of missing young men, many from the LGBTQ+ community, and the shocking confessions that followed. It’s a gripping tale of manipulation, violence, and justice in a time when the open roads held deadly secrets.
