In June 1960, four teenagers camped beside a quiet Finnish lake. By morning, three were dead and one was badly injured, leaving behind a mystery that has haunted Finland for more than sixty years. In this episode, we examine the chilling case known as The Lake Bodom Murders, exploring the brutal attack, the investigative failures that followed, and the long shadow cast over the sole survivor. From early suspects to a dramatic trial decades later, this is a story of violence, uncertainty, and a truth that refuses to surface.

Between the 1980s and early 2000s, a quiet truck painter from Washington State carried out one of the deadliest serial killing sprees in American history. In this episode, we unpack the chilling story of Gary Ridgway, known as the Green River Killer. We explore how he evaded police for decades, why his victims were overlooked, and how advances in forensic science finally exposed the man behind at least 49 murders. It is a disturbing look at institutional failure, misogyny, and the terrifying ordinariness of evil.
