In June 2007, the dismembered remains of 36-year-old Sanna Garoës appeared beside three roads leading out of Windhoek. Her death brought two unsolved murders from 2005 back into the headlines and gave Namibia a frightening name for a possible killer: the B1 Butcher. Then a fourth woman’s remains were found more than 400 kilometres away. Police announced her identity, only to discover that the woman they had named was alive. As investigators followed reports of DNA evidence and competing leads, a difficult question remained: which of these crimes, if any, belonged to the same person?

In October 1849, one of America's greatest writers was found delirious on the streets of Baltimore, wearing someone else's clothes and unable to explain how he had ended up there. Four days later, Edgar Allan Poe was dead. He was just 40 years old.No death certificate survives, no autopsy was performed, and the medical records have long since disappeared. Over the past 175 years, countless theories have emerged, ranging from alcohol poisoning and disease to political election fraud, robbery and even murder. #TrueCrime #EdgarAllanPoe #UnsolvedMystery #LiteraryMystery #Baltimore #EvidenceLocker Books: Read collections of The Evidence Locker Files, available in print and digital editions.Follow us on: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTokFor more information, visit: Evidence Locker WebsiteListen ad-free: Visit our page at Patreon25% of Evidence Locker Patreon proceeds are donated to support the Doe Network, solving international cold cases.

In the small Italian village of Alleghe, high in the Dolomite Mountains, a series of deaths haunted the community for decades. What began in 1933 with the suspicious death of a young hotel waitress was followed by another unexplained death, then the brutal 1946 double murder of village baker Luigi Del Monego and his wife, Luigia. At the centre of the mystery stood the Hotel Centrale, a powerful local family, and a silence that seemed almost impossible to break. When journalist Sergio Saviane tried to expose the truth, he was sued for defamation and sent to prison. Years later, a patient Carabinieri investigator finally cracked the case open. #TrueCrime #AllegheMurders #Italy #ColdCase #UnsolvedMystery #EvidenceLocker Books: Read collections of The Evidence Locker Files, available in print and digital editions.Follow us on: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTokFor more information, visit: Evidence Locker WebsiteListen ad-free: Visit our page at Patreon25% of Evidence Locker Patreon proceeds are donated to support the Doe Network, solving international cold cases.

In 1984, a mysterious criminal group calling itself "The Monster with 21 Faces" launched an unprecedented campaign of extortion against Japan's largest food manufacturers. Beginning with the kidnapping of a confectionery company president, the group taunted police and the media with mocking letters, threatened to poison popular sweets with cyanide, and spread fear throughout the country.Despite one of the largest investigations in Japanese history, involving thousands of detectives, the elusive criminals repeatedly outsmarted authorities. Their brazen campaign caused millions in losses, shattered public confidence and remains officially unsolved more than four decades later. #TrueCrime #MonsterWith21Faces #Japan #UnsolvedMystery #ColdCase #EvidenceLocker Books: Read collections of The Evidence Locker Files, available in print and digital editions.Follow us on: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTokFor more information, visit: Evidence Locker WebsiteListen ad-free: Visit our page at Patreon25% of Evidence Locker Patreon proceeds are donated to support the Doe Network, solving international cold cases.

As investigators searched beneath John Wayne Gacy's home, they uncovered a crime scene unlike anything they had encountered before. Hidden within the crawlspace were the remains of dozens of young men and boys, exposing years of murder concealed behind the façade of an ordinary suburban life. With the evidence mounting, Gacy confessed to a staggering number of killings before standing trial in one of the most infamous criminal cases in American history. Yet for many victims, identification would take decades, and questions still linger today. #TrueCrime #JohnWayneGacy #SerialKiller #Chicago #ColdCase #EvidenceLocker Books: Read collections of The Evidence Locker Files, available in print and digital editions.Follow us on: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTokFor more information, visit: Evidence Locker WebsiteListen ad-free: Visit our page at Patreon25% of Evidence Locker Patreon proceeds are donated to support the Doe Network, solving international cold cases.

In December 1978, 15-year-old Robert Piest vanished after leaving work to meet a potential employer. His disappearance led investigators to John Wayne Gacy, a respected Chicago businessman, political volunteer and community entertainer known as "Pogo the Clown." At first, Gacy appeared cooperative, but detectives soon uncovered a disturbing pattern of missing young men connected to him. As surveillance intensified, inconsistencies in Gacy's story mounted. Then investigators noticed a foul odour emanating from beneath his suburban home—a discovery that would change the course of the investigation forever. #TrueCrime #JohnWayneGacy #RobertPiest #SerialKiller #Chicago #ColdCase #EvidenceLocker Books: Read collections of The Evidence Locker Files, available in print and digital editions.Follow us on: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTokFor more information, visit: Evidence Locker WebsiteListen ad-free: Visit our page at Patreon25% of Evidence Locker Patreon proceeds are donated to support the Doe Network, solving international cold cases.

In August 1966, two electronics technicians climbed a hill overlooking Rio de Janeiro and were never seen alive again. Days later, their bodies were discovered lying side by side, dressed in suits, waterproof coats and strange homemade lead eye masks. There were no signs of violence, no clear cause of death and almost no clues—only cryptic notes, an empty water bottle and a mystery that has baffled investigators for decades. #TrueCrime #UnsolvedMystery #LeadMasksCase #Brazil #EvidenceLocker #ColdCase #Occult #UFO #Mystery #Podcast Books: Read collections of The Evidence Locker Files, available in print and digital editions.Follow us on: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTokFor more information, visit: Evidence Locker WebsiteListen ad-free: Visit our page at Patreon25% of Evidence Locker Patreon proceeds are donated to support the Doe Network, solving international cold cases.

Eva Bourseau, 23, was murdered in her Toulouse apartment on 26 July 2015 by two students, Taha Mrani Alaoui and Zakariya Banouni, over a drug debt. Her body was submerged in hydrochloric acid in a plastic trunk — a method inspired by the TV series Breaking Bad. Discovered by firefighters after her mother raised the alarm, the case shocked France and made international headlines. After a 15-day trial at the Cour d'Assises de Haute-Garonne in December 2018, Taha was sentenced to 30 years and Zakariya to 25 years. The case remains one of France's most disturbing student crime cases.

On August 2, 2006, Washington D.C. attorney Robert Eric Wone was stabbed to death inside the Dupont Circle townhouse of his college friend Joseph Price. Three housemates – Price, Victor Zaborsky, and Dylan Ward – were home at the time. Evidence suggested the crime scene had been staged, and that Wone had been drugged and sexually assaulted before his death. All three men were acquitted of obstruction of justice charges in 2010. A civil wrongful death suit was settled in 2011. No one has ever been charged with Wone's murder. The case remains unsolved.

On New Year's Eve 1998, fifteen-year-old Kirsty Bentley vanished while walking her Labrador, Abby, near the Ashburton River in Canterbury, New Zealand. Seventeen days later, her body was found hidden in dense scrub at Camp Gully, Rakaia Gorge, 40 kilometres away. She had been killed by a single blow of blunt force trauma to the head. Despite decades of investigation under Operation Kirsty, hundreds of suspects interviewed, a 2016 coroner's inquest, and a $100,000 reward offered in 2022, no one has ever been charged. New Zealand's most haunting cold case murder remains unsolved.

In 1895, a Swedish man named Adolf Beck was stopped on a London street by a woman who accused him of swindling her out of her jewellery. Police quickly connected him to a string of similar frauds — and to a man named John Smith, convicted of identical crimes in 1877. Over a dozen victims picked Beck out of line-ups. He was convicted at the Old Bailey and sentenced to seven years' hard labour. The problem: he wasn't John Smith. He wasn't any of it. Eight years later, still protesting his innocence, Beck was convicted again — for the exact same type of fraud. Only when the real culprit was arrested mid-crime did the truth finally surface. We explore how a face so ordinary it could belong to anyone sent an innocent man to prison twice, and what the case of Émilie Sagée tells us about the ancient human terror of the double.

In November 2008, 23-year-old Christine Lindsey Walters left her hotel room in Eureka, California, in her pyjamas, to collect identity documents from a nearby copy centre. She was trying to get home to Wisconsin. She never made it. A junior studying botany and ethnobotany at the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point, Christine had come to Humboldt County for a planned three-week holiday. She stayed, drawn to the area's natural beauty and a spiritual community. One week before she vanished, she participated in an illegal ayahuasca ceremony. Days later, she was found naked and covered in briar scratches on a stranger's doorstep, speaking of demons. She tested negative for drugs, was discharged, and began making plans to fly home. She was last seen on November 14, walking away from a copy centre on I Street, Eureka. Her belongings and untouched bank funds were later recovered. She has never been found.

Frank Sinatra's "My Way" became one of the deadliest songs in history — not on a battlefield, but in the karaoke bars of the Philippines. Between 1998 and 2018, at least a dozen people were killed in disputes linked to the song, in incidents dubbed the "My Way Killings." Victims were shot for singing off-key, stabbed over microphone disputes, and killed for daring to claim the song as theirs. The killings prompted bar owners to ban the song outright, drew international media attention, and sparked debate about karaoke culture, Filipino identity, and the role of pride and alcohol in public violence.

In the sweltering summer of 1908, 20-year-old domestic servant Hazel Drew was found floating face-down in Teal's Pond, New York. Her skull had been crushed by repeated blows. A corset string wrapped around her throat. The investigation revealed a web of secrets, political corruption, and powerful men with much to hide.
